BITTER STRUGGLE
DUE AT TRACK MEET
Occidental and U. S. c. Teams, Beaten
by High School, Seem to Be
Closely Matched for
Honors

When the track squads Of the two
local colleges, University Of Southern
California and Occidental, meet on
Bovard field at the University of
Southern California on Washington's
birthday in the first of the conference
meets this season it is expected that.
whichever team is the winner, the
margin of winning points will be small.
When taking into consideration the
showing recently made by the Los
Angeles high school squad against the
two colleges, U. S. c. winning from
the hill schoolboys by an extremely
small margin and Occidental losing in
the final event Of the meet, the dope
indicates that the race for honors in
Tuesdays meet will be exceptionally
close.
Coaches Cromwell and Gorton of
q. S. c. and Occidental. respectively.
this week are putting the finishing
touches to the training of their SQUADS
and form, and this instead of condf-
ton through strenuous work. now is
the principal effort OF the two coaches.
That the good records for this early
in the season, made In the recent
meets with the Los Angeles high school
team, will be bettered is confidentIv
expected by those who follow the sport.
Possibly several Southern California
records will go glimmering next Tues-

NATIONALS QUARREL
BUT DO NO BUSINESS
Unable to Agree Upon Schedule, They
Pass It and Turn to Con-
sideration of Other
Subjects

NEW YORK, Feb. 16-The National
league magnates are still deadlocked
on the schedule question. They con-
Vened at o'clock and remained in
session until tonight, unable to decide
on either the 16S or the 154-game pro
posals. Accordingly at the night ses-
sion II was decided to turn to discus
sion of the rules and to resume the
schedule debate tomorrow. A ballot
on the schedule showed that the sit
uation was the same as yesterday,
that Dreyfuss Of Pittsburg, Hermann
OF Cincinnati and Dovey of Boston
favored the short schedule. The five
others voted for the long schedule
Rules Of the league require six votes
to adopt any schedule.
When todays session began Ebbetts
Of Brooklyn said:
"Dreyfuss and Hermann want
short schedule because they think they
have a chance to win the pennant. If
they thought they did not have
chance they would be for the long
schedule"
"Well, then, that means you fellows
haven't any pennant hopes, said
Hermann, and that started the fight
Horace Fogel of Philadelphia was
still in bed with the gout, and ex-
pressed his intention "a of remaining
there until the league meeting is over.
This will prevent the settlement of
former Manager Murray's claim
against Fogel for two years salary.

CHICAGO, Feb 16-Byron Bancroft
johnson was reelected president, Sec
retary and treasurer of the American
league at a salary said to be $4,000
a year at the closing session of the
annual schedule meeting today.
The agreement under which the
league has existed since November,
1900, was renewed for twenty years.
Johnson's term of office will expire
with the agreement. In the new agree
ment is clause forbidding any club
owner or holder of stock in any club
to hold shares in any other club in the
league, except as an emergency meas
ure." All other articles of the old
agreement were retained in the new
one.
Uniform tickets with rain check cou-
ponS, practically the same as now are
in use in the National league, were
adopted.
a schedule of 154 games, opening on
April IA and closing on October 8, was
adopted unanimously. This schedule
was the only one submitted to the
meeting and was chosen without
change. 1t was announced that the
dates selected would be retained
whether the National league plays 154
or 1853 games. If the National league
selects the shorter season there will
be only ten conflicting dates, eight in
Chicago and two in ST. Louis.
While no official announcement was
made that Mr.. Johnson's salary had
been increased from $4,000 to $4,000,
it was said on good authority that
such was the case. Mr.. Johnson said
that it was a personal matter. He
also made the same answer to the
question as to how old he would be
when his term of office will expire.
This is the longest tenure of office
to which any baseball president ever
was elected. 1t was made co-extensiVe
with the length of the new agreement.
1t is said Charles A. Comiskey OF chi
cago and Benjamin Shibe of Philadel-
phia were the men behind this signal
tribute to Mr.. Johnson as leader.
The adoption of a twenty-year
agreement was said to be in the ma
ture of a compromise. Some club own
ers favored the renewal of the ten
year agreement, while others spoke for
a perpetual agreement, such as now
exists in the National league. This
was the main subject of debate yester-
day.
The article added to the agreement
forbidding syndicate baseball reads
as follows:
Syndicate baseball is prohibited ex-
cept as an emergency measure, and
then only with consent OF the league
president and directors shall a stock
holder in one club own or control stock
in another club in the American league,
under penalty of being voted on and
dealt with as an undesirable associate
and barred from all connections with
the league"
The expected big trade in which the
st. Louis club was to be party had
not developed late tonight. Several
conferences were held by the various
managers, but nothing of Importance
developed. A majority of the club
owners and managers left tonight.

DASEBALL farms are regarded as
* necessities by major league clubs
~ and nearly all of them have at
least one, but Happiness Hogan has
gone all of them one or two better in
his enterprising zeal for the success of
the Vernon team He not only has one
farm. but acknowledges to three. He
has half of a baseball nine at Bakers
field, has arranged with the Stockton
state league club to place several play
ers there and also has put Chicago on
his farm list. The latter deal came
about by the arrangement yesterday
between himself and Frank Chance,
whereby the leader of the cubs prom
ises to send Hogan one or more play
ers any time that the manager of the
Villagers may decide he needs to
strengthen his team. That is fine
business. Also excellent judgment on
the part of Hogan. He not only has
team that Is fully 100 per cent stronger
than that of 1909, but he has strings
on so many players that he could fill
an emergency vacancy in any position
almost by merely touching the wires.
Much credit is due to Billy Rooney
for the remarkable Improvement shown
by Frankie Sullivan in his fight Tues
day night with Curly O'Connell.
Rooney is the youngster who superin-
tended and directed all the training of
Sullivan, and that he made a good job
of 1t must be admitted by all who saw
Sullivan put O'Connell to sleep in less
than four rounds.
