of the boat owners would put their boats in
commission again. but they fear freezing

appearing therein, which article, it Is al

This article was not seen by Carpenter

FORTHCOMING the American Hen
ley-New Orleans Races.

NEW YORK, January 23-What threat
ened to be serious obstacle to the AMIGA
bic arranging of the National and Ameri-
can League schedules for the coming play
ing season was yesterday brushed aside by
Frank Farrell, owner of the New York
Americans. According to agreement be-
tween the leagues, the Highlanders are en-
titled to the opening date in this city, the
Giants having had the day last season. The
National League fixed April II as its open
ing day, and President Ban Johnson de-
cided to have the American opening on
April H.
Figuring on these days, Presidents John
son and Pulliam drew drafts of their sched-
ules, and Pulliam scheduled the Giants to
open the season in Brooklyn on April L.
The Highlanders will open April Ia with
Boston at American League Park. About
the same state Of affairs came up two years
ago, when the Giants opened In Brooklyn
on the same day the Highlanders opened
their season on Washington Heights.
Johnson objected to Pulliam's schedule,
but Farrell waived any rights he may have
had In the matter rather than have repe-
tition of the unpleasant pickering of two
years ago, and the Giants will open the
season with Donovans Doubtfuls at Wash
ington Park on April II.
Presumably McGraws men will be in
Philadelphia when the Highlanders open at
home on April Ia. with Boston playing at
Brooklyn.
johnson left for Chicago last night after
four days session with Pulliam While
neither schedule is ready for adoption, lit
tie work remains to be done on them. The
two executives will try to eliminate some
conflicting dates before the joint meet
ing OF the two leagues on February Ii.
