Schedule.

NEW YORK. Feb. Ion the eve
OF the schedule meeting OF the Ma
tional league club owners. II Ii owl
dent that there Is going to be a big
fight against the pan or Presidents
Ebbetts and Murphy to adopt a sched-
ule for 10S games In the National
league. The plan Is known TO be
dlstasteful to President Dreyfuss,
Hermann says he's afraid II will
men prominent In the organization
speak freely against Il. Hermann
says he doesn't want to do anything
to harm the Amer.1an league aad
that II this plan goes through that
organization may cancel the worlds
championship series. He wants to
continue on friendly relations with
President Johnson. and says that IL
Johnson keeps on objeetIng TO the
schedule that he will most asauredly
vote against II.
lie says, too, that johnson has a
right to object. inasmuch as the plan
will probably hurt his winning teams
organization by causing long layofr
after the American league closes.
History shows this to be always In
furious.
II is believed that when the full
story is placed before the National
league magnates Messrs. Murphy and
Ebbetts will find II impossible TO get
enough votes to pass the extended
schedule. II requires six votes for
the adoption of schedule. and Il
is very unlikely that so many can be
obtained. But on the other hand Il
may not be possible for the 'rooters"
for the l54-game schedule to get
that through. Thu ~ili need slx
votes, and two men can beat II, for
Murphy will undoubtedly control the
Philadelphia vote, as he did at the
last meeting.
One OF the most important matters
to come before the board OF directors
Is the claim OF Manager William Muir
ply OF Philadelphia. who has a two
year contract with the Philadelphia
club at $1,000 a year Murray has
been deposed as manager and de-
Tlands his salary in addition to 81 500
sented to the National Commission
by the directors of he National lea
que, but the commission promptly
referred 1t back to he league. MUIR
ray says that II the league directors
decide against him he viii take the
matter 10 the courts.

BILE in agreeing on a schedule. Presi-
dent comiskey. of the Chicago club.

THE schedule which was drawn
up for the America league Is com
posed Of I54 games. and will suit as
we'll Il was hard 10 eliminate some
OF the conflicts under the 16S-game
series. which some OF the National
leaguers want. but feel confident
that whatever schedule they adopt
whether Of I54 or I6s games--the
same friendly relations viii remain
between the two leagues.
Club owners of both bodies will
get down to business tomorrow and
Will put through their affairs with ;
rush. American association men de
