the worlds series can begin al about the
usual time I'm view OF the fac, that Pitts
burg and Cincinnati and Kew York ana
Boston have reached an agreement between
themselves by which they will take adYan-
tase of omen dates and close their season
ahead Of time.
The exact changes in dates as already
announced in The Tribune and as now pro-
n7Uleated hy Thomas A. Lynch president
of the National League, are as follows;
Boston al New York on July - and Sep
tsnber q instead OF October 10 and Il;

u is a striking COINCIDENCE that the tour
c1uhe in The National League which stood
ont for the shorter schedule an the recent
deadlock over the playing oates should
wind ZIP the season between themselves
and 50 be III a position t. advance The dates
and thus evade the worst feature IN their
opinion Of the compromise schedule adopt
cd II is more than likely that this con
difion was discovered before the schedule
was finally adopted and brought about
seeming peace between the warning fac
tions-
II develops that owen Bush. the clever
little shortstop of the Detroit club of the
American League. who did 50 much in the
closing games of last year to bag the third
pennant in succession for the Tigers, is a
-hoId-out According t. Hughey Jen-
nings manager of the team. Bush was
offered an increase Of Silica over the salary
he earned last year. and was pretty well
paid then.
While not predicting fourth pennant for
his tribe. Jennings likes the prospects Of
his team. He states that his machine
viii be as strong as year ago. with
good chance of some Of the recruits boil
STEERING UP the outfit He is quoted as say
ing on Tuesday:
I am not claiming pennant There are
toe many angles to baseball Ill can say
IL that like my team as II stands and we
viii PLAY the same hard game as usual to
win. Accidents. luck and other points have
10 ne considered when looking over the
race. and if we have our share of the good
luck. ditto the breaks, No HiH he up there
as usual
To my way OF thinking. there are about
four teams equally matched, which VIII
likely make the going interesting fer US.
They are Philadelphia. Boston, Cleveland
and Chicago. Yes. / like the White SoN-
And Hughey Duffy is q wise baseball man.
i his recruits turn out as expected he'll
cut dash in the pennant race
Strange to say, Jennings, as wise as he
is. has overlooked the New York Yankees
He * quite likely to find them a thorn in
his side before the race is over.
