 Old Cy's Baseball Life.

Cleveland. Feb. 1S.-Denton J. Young dean of the major league pitchers. isn't going to be worked to death by Manager Jim Mcclure of the Maps next season. The Deacon has decided that Cy will win more games for the Maps if he goes on the rubber only once a week. When manager of the Boston Red Sox in 1908 Mcclure found that the Grand Old Man of the slab could do better work after four days rest. During the short time Jim pilot ed the Clevelands last fall he decided that Young ought to have six day vacation between games.
 T do not mean to say that Cy IS retrograding as fast as my plan to work him only once a week would lead one to believe" said McGuire. but l think I will get far better results if ] pursue this course. There will be no, saving Young for this or that club. He will pitch once a week, and it will make no difference which club opposes the Maps when it falls his turn to work

NELSON WILL TRY
 TO STOP WOLGAST
Dane Has No Love for Milwaukee Lad
 and Wants Revenge.

san Francisco, Cal, Feb. 1S.-When Battling Nelson enters the ring with Ad Wolgast on Washington's birthday he will feel about the same way toward ward Jack Monroe. This means that If it is in Nelson's power WoIgast is in for the lacine of his life.
 This much became patent during a writer at his training camp yesterday. We were talking about the various EghtweghtS Nelson had stacked up against during his tempestuous ring bunch Wolgast compared the closest with The Danes. jaws snapped and he replied with much spirit:
 Why, this fellow Walgast isn't in against He is a boob of the worst description, and I will demonstrate as much when I get him in the ring at Richmond on Washington's birth day. Some people seem to think I have great respect for him because I am training hard, but they do not know my innermost thoughts. am training the best know how, without a doubt, but it's because I want to give this fellow the worst licking he ever re- ceived and the better I am trained the better I'll handle him"
 Former Fight Sours Dane.
 While Nelson advances various req sons for the dislike he feels toward Wolgast, it is more than likely that the ten-round bout at Los Angeles is the cause Of the venom that rankles in the champions breast. Speaking of the affair, Nelson said:
 T thought very little of him before we went into the ring and I thought less of him afterWard."
 As Wolgast was popularly believed to have had the better of the bout, the Battler is slightly ambiguous in his remarks. He leads one to believe that he found Wolgast a poorer per former than he expected. but chances are it was the way Wolgast strutted and crowed after the newspapers pass ed judgment on the matter that caused the Milwaukeean to sink in the Bat tiers estimation
 One thing, however, is certain. The Nelson Wolgast bout will be for blood. W0lgast wants the championship and thinks he has a good chance of grab ping it. Nelson does not appear to think for a minute that his laurels are in danger and he is filled with the desire to administer a good cuff ing to Wolgast. This means that neither man will "stalP' to give the picture men a show, if there are any picture men

DREYFUSS SAVES NATIONALS
 FROM HOPELESS DEADLOCK.
Aeress to Take Chicago Conflicting : Dates-154 Game Schedule Adopted.


 New, York. Feb. 1S.-Tfe National league adopted a playing schedule to- night calling for 154 games for the coming season, but it was accomplish ed only after a mapority of the club owners had expressed their opinion that newspaper criticism over the de- lay was causing unfavorable publicity
 Season heightened Out.
 Though the wishes of the American league for a 154 game schedule were met, that leagues interests were diSre- garded when it was resolved to stretch schedule termintes October 9, although all league contracts with players call for service until October 15. EbbettS of Brooklyn and Murphy of Chicago in sisted on using their players up to the contract time.
 Barney Dreyfuss of Pittsburg was the only club owner willing to make concessions and he saved the league from what seemed to be hopeless deadlock.
 Pittsburg was scheduled for six Sum- day games in Cincinnati, where there is no opposition and four such dates have been exceptionally remunerative. St. Louis was scheduled for six Sunday games in Chicago, and four of these were when the champion Detroits of the American league were to play the White Sox. St. Louis and Chicago Ob- jected, holding that Detroit would draw the big crowds. Then Barney Drey- fuss, with his worlds champions, step ped in and offered to take three of the St. Louis conflicting dates. The mat ter was settled today by transferring the St. Louis dates to Cincinnati and the Pittsburg dates to Chicago, so that in Chicago it will be sen whether the Pittsburgs or the Detroits are the more popular.
 Take Up Murray's Claim.
 Upon the adoption of the schedule tonight, the board of directors met to consider the claim of x-Manager H. Murray of the Philadelphia club, for two years salary on his contract. Un- til the newspaper criticism became so severe the board refused to consider the case but tonight they took it up. No decision was reached and the board adjourned to meet tomorrow.
