WESTERN LEAGUE IN TROUBLE
Are Unable to Reach an Agreement on
Playing Dates.

Lincoln, April 12.-At midnight the
schedule committee of the western
Baseball league had been unable to
reach an agreement on playing dates
for the coming season, and was still in
session., with little prospect of COM
pleting it's work before sometime to-
day
The schedule committee is COM
posed of Messrs. Cantillon of Des
Moines, Tebeau of Denver and Selee of
Pueblo, but the meeting brought ev-
cry club owner in the league, save Mr..
Selee, and all in a measure took part
in the deliberations. President O'Neil
was also in attendance.
1t was decided early that the season
would open April II and close Septem-
Der 10. 1t was also understood the
western clubs would begin the season
in the east.
The schedule drafters found their
work more of a puzzle than had been
anticipated. Most of the clubs had
filed requests for consideration in the
matter of special dates and the COM
mittee is endeavoring to grant all the
concessions possible consistent with
the interests of the entire league. All
the club owners were agreeable to a
proposition that Pueblo, as the small
est city in the league, should be ia
vored in the playing dates.

A FORFEITED CONTEST.

New York, April 1.-THE first game OF
the season between the New York and
! Philadelphia National league teams
| Thursday afternoon was forfeited to
| Philadelphia, to 0. For some unex-
planned reason there We're no police at
the Polo grounds and in the first half
of the ninth inning with the score to
in favor of Philadelphia, the crowd
swarmed out on the ground, and in a
| few moments a genuine riot was in
progress. The players were unable to
continue, but Umpire KLEIN, instead of
Immediately calling the game and Civ
ing it to Philadelphia, waited until mr.
teen minutes had expired.
A roundsman and three patrolmen
meanwhile came on the grounds, but
they We're unable to do anything with
the unruly mob, some of the members
of which amused themselves by throw
ing bottles, glasses and cushions in all
directions. The roundsman told Roger
Bresnahan of the local club, he had Or
ders not to interfere with the crowd,
and the demonstration turned into
good-natured jollification. Soon Umpire
KLEIN announced that he had forfeited
the game to Philadelphia.
The local fans were evidently
angered by the inability of the Giants
to solve the delivery of Corridor, the
Philadelphia pitcher, who had held
them down one measly hit and those in
the bleachers swarmed out on the field
at the beginning of the ninth inning
and took possession of the field. They
quickly surrounded the home plate, and
thus prevented the game going on. Then
they swarmed into the grandstand and
crowded other persons in the field.
There were half a dozen fights in a few
minutes in as many different parts of
the field.
1t was one of the most disgraceful
scenes ever known to the Polo grounds.
Secretary Knowles, who appeared on
the grounds, found it impossible to do
anything with the crowd.
1t was the Phillies turn to go to the
bat when the crowd came in on the
field. Bresnahan, who was in charge
of the New York team in McGraw's alb
scence appealed to the police to clear
the field, but they refused to make the
atetmpt without assistance. At this
point Umpire Klein announced the
game forfeited to Philadelphia, 8 to 0.

The time TO adjust the Bowels Is the very
minute you suspect they need adjustment.
If your tongue is slightly coated,
If your breath is under suspicion,

If digestion seems even little slow.
