TO OFFER 2 SCHEDULES
Committee of National League Has
One for 1854 Games, Another
for 1863 Games.

Rittsburg, Jan. 25.-Two schedules,
one for u 154 game, the other for a
l6S game sc ason. will be submitted
to the National lie ague next month.
This was settled by the schedule com
mittee tonight.
Protracted sessions of the commit.
tee were caused by the work of dove
failing the 16S with the American
Leagues l54 game schedule so as to
avoid conflicting dates. Another ar
rangement on the basis of a 1874 game
schedule for both is being prepared.
The decision to present two schedules
to the Nationtl League was reached
on a business basis, the arguments OF
both being recognized as having their
merits.
