MANY CONFLICTING DATES.
Lonq and Short Schedules Do MOT
Work Well Together.

Pittsburg, Jan. 25.-Finding themselves
lost in the maze of conflicting playing
dates, the joint schedule committees of
the American and National Leagues of
baseball clubs are today again In session.
To fit Il 16S-game National League sched-
ule with a 15i -game American League
schedule is the task before the magnates.
Intricate figuring and not a few double
header games will be the result.
From an authoritative source it was
made known today that two schedules,
one calling for 154 games and the other
for 16s games would be presented by the
schedule committee to the February meet
ing of the National League Ball Club
owners to be held in New York City. The
154-game schedule will be presented as a
protest to the extended number of games.
An impromptu meeting of the joint rules
committee resulted in the rescindfng of
the rule made last night calling wild
pitches and passed balls as errors. These
plays return to their old ruling.
