Milwaukee, Wis. Feb. .27.--Despite the fact
that most of the baseball leagues in the coun-
try have completed their schedules for the COM
ing season. the American association magnateS
are still without one, altho during tine past
week or two there has been considerable work
done in regard to preparing one that will meet -
the approval of both factions in the assocla-
ton. The magnates say there is plenty OF
time vet to get out schedule; that some OF
them have been apprehensive regarding the sun
day baseball situation in Ohio and want delay
for that reason, but the truth of the matter is
they have been working on one, or at least
three or four schedules, and will soon endeayor
to get together and adopt one for 1906
Must Get to Business. -,
There has been some friction in arranging "a
schedule despite the fact that the two rae
tions do not get any too close to one another,
but both sides are beginning to realize that
they must act on the level it they want to do
business and cut out all these little petty jeal-
ousies. The political game does not 60 well
in baseball playing time. The plan now IS TO
have the teams open the season on April Is
with Minneapolis at indianapolis, st. Paul at
Louisville. Kansas. City at Toledo and Milwau-
kee at Columbus. A schedule has been prepared
with that arrangement of dates for the open
ing, but of course it is: liable. to change The
reason for changing Milwaukee from indianapolis
| to Columbus for the opening game this season
is that the brewers and senator's were the two
fighting for the pennsnt lat the close of
| last season, and they would be a great attrac-
| tion for the Ohio city for the opening this sea-
! son. --.. -
>, Superstitious Managers. =
| 1t was intended to have the opening on April
| 20. but some of the managers were superstitious
and refused to open with their teams on y
| Friday. Therefore Wednesday was suggested.
| With the opening as outlined above it would
bring the western clubs home, the early part
| of May about the Sd of the month. while
| Milwaukee would open at home about May. II
Kansas City being three days later: y,
The plan is to have the western. and eastern
teams play home and home games on Decoration
day. The eastern clubs would make tour OF
the west and have May 20 for open date, and
get back in time to play two games Decoration
day with Minneapolis and st. Paul alternating
in the morning and afternoon at the twin cit
Toledo and Louisville at indianapolis. -
