WILL NOT ABANDON
THE WORLD SERIES
Terms Of National Agreement Call for These Contests
Must Be Begun Later-Long Schedule
Discussed

NEW YORK, Dec. oj.-One OF the fake
tales of the off-season Of 1909 that ought
to be promptly killed is the story that
there will be no worlds championship
series IN 1910.
According 10 the terms Of the national
agreement. there has to be each year a
set OF battles for the honors Of the uni
verse. Both the American and National
Leagues are parties to this agreement,
and were the Johusouites to say they
would not participate I'm the world S
series. the baseball world would have
a right to believe that the Junior orEani-
cation desired 20 break the Cincinnati
peace pact
There win bee a worlds series I'M 1910
even though the first game viii not take
place until October ~. n set Of contests
of this sort is provided for in the peace
agreement under which the two biG
leagues now operate Some fans
thought because the National League
had decided 90 experiment with a 16S,
game schedule and had heightened the
season week. the American Leacucrs
would decline to let their champion
team meet the flag winner OF the olde1
organization ln q series for the honor
of tho universe.
To Play Short Schedule.
The American Leaguers intend 10 e,
along with the worlds championship
series, but they do not intend to pIal
JOS games next season. The Johnsonitel
think that 15f contests a year is Tn,
proper caper and that this IS all IN,
baseball public cares 20 digest. Botl
tho National and American League sea
sons win emo ON the same date. OctobeI
Do or lf. and the w0rIi's series viii star
either on October ~ or u.s.
in the past many worlds series have
been started after The middle Of Octo.

Pittsburg and Detroit May

DETROIT, Dec 25.-when the two
clubs that played seven games for the

field again in the spring Of 1910. IL IS

new first baseman Fred Clarke has
admitted that he was disguised with
the work of Bill Abstein in that mem
orable series, while for some reason De-
troiters do not seem TO enthuse over
Tom Jones, who was placed on first
base just IN time 20 grab the pennant
for the Tigers.
The deal that Jennings put through
for Jones saved the day for Detroit,
for the Tigers were going from bad to
worse with Claude Rossman covering
the initial sack Jones played the
same good old game that he generally
did for st Louis-good, but never

that Jones was slated for the discard.
There must have been something in
these reports for Tom sought to get a
berth as manager OF the Scranton
club in the New York State League.
As for AbstaiU. he is to 20 sure If
Clarke can get a man whom he be-
