JOHNSON FOR LONG SEASON;
MURPHY WANTS IT SHORT
American League President Would
start Season April 20 and Close Sep
tember 80; POst-SeasOn Series Would
Then Be 13 Games.

The American league will make a
hard fight for a schedule of 140 games
during the coming baseball season, ac-
cording to a statement made yesterday
by President B. B. Johnson of that or
ganization. This promises a lively time
when the National and American
leagues get together in their annual
schedule meeting, as four magnates in
the older organization have already de-
clared themselves in favor of the 154
game season.
President Charles W. Murphy Of the
Cubs is really the leader in the fight
for the retention Of the longer schedule,
and he has already received assurances
from Charles H. Ebbets of Brooklyn,
Garry Hermann of Cincinnati, and
Stanley Robinson of st. Louis that they
are also in favor of continuing the
present arrangement.
Popular Demand for Short Season.
1t has been known for some time that
Johnson was strongly in favor OF
shortening the schedule and cutting
/ of a short arctic circle from both
ends. following a general agitation to
that end Yesterday he announced that
the league would make a stand on the
proposition. Johnson plans to start
! the schedule of his league between the
goth and 25th of April, and continue
until the end of September. Last year
the American started April Il in the
East and April II in the West, while
the National got under way on April
u, and both ended their championship
| on Oct. Z.
Murphy has also proposed that the
worlds championship series be length.
ened to eleven or thirteen games. but
Johnson said a nine game series would
be enough TO decide the real merits 0,
the contending teams.

Such is his anxiety for another game
this season that coach Cayou. of Wa
bash. has telegraphed to see if there
is any possibility of getting the Car
isle Indians for a Thanksgiving game
in indianapolis. If that should be an
open date and the Indians will con-
sent to any reasonable guarantee, Wa
bash will schedule the game and play
it at Washington park.
With his team in good condition and
his ex-stars Spaulding and Williams,
eligible to play, coach CayOu thinks
Wabash should give the Indians a
strong argument.

That Chicago is doing all in its pow

was evidenced when coach Jimmie
sheldon read a letter to the football
team, whitten by coach Stagg, which
gave a very vivid description of the
Gopher plays. and also contained sug-
gestions which may enable the Hoos-
iers to stop the fierce attacks of the
Minnesotas backs. In this letter
coach stagg told of the strength Of
every man on the Gopher team, as well
as the weak points in the lineup

CHURCH PEW HIS BED.
Tramp Finds Rest for His Weary
Bones in House Of Worship.

The janitor of one Of Portsmouth's
largest churches was given big sur
prise Sunday morning as he stepped
into the auditorium after opening the
big front doors to allow of the usual
airing out. He came face to face with
a strange and tough-looking man. At
first the janitor feared touch of the
chills, but he finally brought himself
together and inquired of the man what
he had been doing.
The fellow said that he had been en-
joying nights rest on the cushions
of pew away down front. Saturday
night he was attracted to the church
by the, singing of the choir during re-
hearsal. He found the door open,
walked in and sat down.
The music had that soothing effect
and the wanderer fell asleep. He knew
nothing more until daylight, when he
awoke wondering where he was at. He
said that in all his life he had never
found more comfortable bed.
The janitor looked about, saw that
nothing was disturbed and then al
lowed the stranger to go.-Portsmouth,
