Year or independence Day? The day of thanks

try has one or more days set apart to commemo-
rate independence or the granting OF some great
boon to its people that may be considered step

day Of the United States is without close COM

the winter season.
Wherever you find an American you will as
the month of November wanes, find one who
thinks more of being at home or at the home Of
intimate friends for Thanksgiving day. Clubs, ho

I'VE were heartily glad and drunke

much delight as ever we drunke drink

Thus was, with "Bisket and Hol-

the first New England Thanksgiving
dinner eaten on the noon of Novem-
Der 26, 1920, around "a fire of sassa-

were able to feast on wild fowl and

came after them even unto the pres

of the little Pilgrim band who in the
Mayfowers cabin signed the first

Although not set down in the laws,
the reunion feast became an informal

Ran Johnson Raps 16S-g game List
of National League and Says There
7. No Popular Demand for IL.
American League Will Try ana
Bring About "A Change.

New York, Jan. S.-OppOsition to the
nroposed 16S-game schedule of the Ma
tionaI League is growing to such proper
lions that some baseball men say there
may be a shift In the plan before the
major leagues meet again next month.
President Johnson, OF the American
League, expresses his views in this man
neT:
There is no popular demand for l65-
game schedule. In fact, l51-sane sched-
ule is too long. The season even now
begins too soon and closes too late. The
weather during a part OF the worlds
series last fall was entirely too cold for
comfort. and convinced many fair minded
baseball men that the games should be
nlaved earlier in the future. But this
l6S-game idea will prevent the playing
OF the worlds series until after October
16 or Il. which will prove entirely IN
popular. The American League Will
stick to 15i games. and we hope TO in
duce the National League TO 30 along
with Us on the old lines"
Ball players are growing not only
over the proposed 16Sgame schedule, but
also over a plan to sign them to twelve
months contracts instead OF documents
covering the playing season. Some Of
the players who have looked into the
latter scheme carefully say that it is
simply a pitfall-
IF a player signs for six months at
81 100 he receives his pay in monthly
installments Of 800 says a leading
player advocate. But If he signs for
twelve months he gets only 500 month.
and is at the mercy or q club owner,
who may decide to release him after he
has served four months on the pay roll.
Under a twelve months contract the
player would get only $500 for his work,
instead of 1000. under the present form
OF contract.
1T is a brace game. pure and simple,
for players who are not stars.
