New York. Feb. 16.-F1ve to three in
favor of 16S games this season was APP
parently the way the National league
magnates stood when the struggle over
the playing schedule was resumed to-
day. Not in years have the rulers of
National league destinies worked into
so chaotic a situation as that revealed
by the failure so far TO agree to play
ing dates for the coming season. Six
votes are necessary for the adoption
of schedule. The lineup when ad-
journment was taken yesterday TO to-
day was: Ebbets of Brooklyn, Muir
ply of Chicago, Robinson of st. Louis,
Brush of New York and Fogel OF Phil
adelphia for a long season; Dreyfuss
of Pittsburg, Hermann of Cincinnati
and Dewey of Boston for 154 games.
Both Sides Obstinate.
Both sides today declared an inten-
ton to stand pat. and prospects for a
speedy reconciliation did not appear
bright There were numerous consul
tations among the magnates during the
morning, and in some quarters the
hope was expressed that when they
got together in the afternoon for a re-
sumption of the regular session some
sort of basis for a compromise would
be reached. The bitter faCtional feel
ing engendered by the Ward-Heydler
deadlock at the October meeting Seem
ed to have broken out again, however.
and it was difficult to guess what COM
mon ground for an agreement could be
reached by the contending elements.

The schedule will probably be an

ing. The first business to come be
fore the meeting was the adoption of
a new agreement to replace the orig
inal one which expires in November
this year.
There appeared to be a decided feel
ing in favor of making the new agree
ment perpetual. This was discussed
thoroughly at yesterdays session, but
no final vote was taken then in order
