 Bridgeport, March 21.-The Wind- sor hotel sheltered a notable gather ing of baseball moguls yesterday when the Connecticut league direc- tors met to adopt a schedule and transact other business. Sidney ". Challenger. official scorer, submitted new schedule which was adopted with but few changes. The season opens April 26 and continues until September 8. Each club will play a series of Is games with every other organization. In the regular list of games six double-headers have been introduced, which is something of an innovation. This was made neces- sary by the fact that the playing season is not long enough to play out the series.
 Daniel J. Danaher of New Haven was elected chairman of the meeting as President Sturgis Whitlock and Vice President w. J. Tracy of Bris- tol were absent. Those present were Dan O'Neil of Springfield, J. J. Mad sen of Holyoke, c. H. Humphrey of New London, H. R. Durant of Water bury, Daniel J. Danaher of New Ha- ven, Burt Daly of Hartford and J, H. O'Rourke of Bridgeport. MT O'Rourke represented Jack Tighe of Norwich, who missed his train. The schedule adopted is an inn | provement over the one first submit. ted by MT Challenger in the respect that it provides for less railroad fare. Each club will have 10 Satur- day games at home.
 It was decided to try to enforce 2 salary limit of $1,800 month, the same figure that was supposed to prevail last season. The directors I admitted that there had been consid- erable discussion on this point. In the matter of championship em- blem, it was voted that the pennant of the future should represent an out lay of $25 instead of $15 as in past years. Secretary O'Rourke remark ed laughingly that Mir Madsen had made such howl that it was voted to pay the difference to Holyoke SC that the Paper City would be satis- fled in getting a cheaper quality of pennant for last seasons prowess.
 The opening games will be Hol- yoke in Springfield, New Haven in Hartford, New London in Norwich and Bridgeport in Waterbury.
 Manager Durant of the Waterbury team obtained many changes favor schedule as originally drawn the Waterbury team had few single games scheduled at home on Satur- day, all of the double-headers coming on Fridays. The schedule as sub- mitted also gave Waterbury home games every Monday and Tuesday for the first nine weeks, two of the most undesirable days for that city, But Manager Durant has things changed so that Waterbury will only have nine games at home on those days, instead of twenty-three. Sev- eral long jumps for Durant's team were also done away with. The orig inal schedule called for two single trips to New London and several long jumps to Holyoke. All of these were cut out. The only open dates in the schedule are September [, when both Waterbury and Holyoke will lay of. In the holiday games Waterbury is scheduled to play at home on Decor ation day, May 30, with Bridgeport; on July in New Haven, and on La- bor day, September 3, in Hartford. A double-header will be played on these days. Just how the Decora- tion day games will be played has not been decided, but on July one game will likely be played in Water bury and the other in New Haven. On Labor day game will be played in Hartford in, the morning and in Waterbury in the afternoon on ac- count of the big racing attraction a. Charter Oak park.
