NEW LEAGUE SCHEDULE
SHOWS 12O CONFLICTS

The Union League has adopted its
schedule for the season Of 1905, with ef-
forts to avoid conflicts IN only four
cities.
Altogether there are I'D conflicting
dates with clubs Of other leagues. but
OF this number there are seventy-One
in hila6eIphia-forty-foUr with the
Athletics and twenty-seven with the
Philies. No effort was made 10 reduce
the conflicts IN Reading. as the Unions
want every Saturday at home n the
Berks county stronghold. The Union
League held the upper hand in Reading
last year. and DOC" Reisling Is ex-
pected TO have a strong enough team TO
retain the patronage there this year.
There VIII be twenty conflicting dates
with the Reading Trf-Staters. In VIII
miEgton the Union League also bucks
the Tri-State. but here they viii have
only seven conflicting dates

mistake which necess!tates another
correction. William Schmidt is one
of our best citizens and does net use
a shotgun to chase people either in
