Accordingly, at the night session, it
was decided to turn TO a decision Of the
rules and to resume the schedule debate
tomorrow.
A ballot on the schedule showed that
the situation was the same as yesterday,
that Dreyfuss of Pittsburg, Hermann Of
Cincinnati and Dewey Of Boston favored
the short schedule. The five others voted
for the long schedule. Rules of the league
require six votes to adopt any schedule.
When today's session began, Ebbetts of
Brooklyn said:
"Dreyfuss and Hermann want a short
schedule because they think they have
chance to win the pennant. If they
thought they did not have chance, they
would be for the long schedule"
well, then that means you fellows
have not any pennant hopes" said Herr
mann, and that started the fight.
FogeI Under Cover.
Horace FogeI Of the Philadelphia club,
was still in bed with the govt and ex-
pressed his intention OF remaining there
until the league meeting is over. This
will prevent the settlement Of former
Manager Murrays claims against Fogel
for two years salary.
Both sides today declared their inten-
ton to stand pat, and the prospects for
speedy reconciliation did not appear
bright. There were numerous consulta-

Mike YokeI is beginning to realize tina
in Al Alderman he meets the hardest
man his long line of wrestling bouts. Yes
terday he started hard training for the
match, the date of which has been ar
ranged by Promoter Heagren as February

the timber line in the early morning, and
says that a tramp over the hills back Of
Fort Douglas is fine for the wind. With
the entire Y. NJ. c. A. wrestling class
pitching in to help, there is plenty of
work on the mat in the afternoon.
Yesterday YOkel handed Mr.. HeaSren
orders for "A ringside seats that had been
placed with him personally. That the
match will be for the welterweight title
is adding interest, and YOkePs admirers,
who for a long time have insisted that
he has the championship class, are not
backing down now that he will be given
the chance to show It,

UTAH AND COLORADO TO
PLAY IN SAME YARD

The University Of Utah athletic council
yesterday received official notice that the
faculty had accepted the invitation OF the
Colorado conference to become MEMBER
of that body. While the matter Is now
settled the constitution Of the conference
will not be signed until the first Of the
next school year. As soon as that IS done
the name Of the conference will be
changed to IntermOuntain Athletic con
ference.
BY becoming a member OF the confer
ence the University OF Utah meets the
Colorado members in athletics on an
equal footing. While in Colorado Utah
cannot meet any non-members OF the
conference, the provision was made that
Utah can meet whoever she pleases at
home or in other states than Colorado.
The news that Utah at last Is to get an
equal crack at the Colorado teams, IN
der the same rules and with the right to
demand a fair shake IN the schedules
and other matters, has been received with
much joy by the university students and
others interested in intercollegiate sports

Charles A Comiskey of Chicago and Ben
jamin Shibe of Philadelphia were the men

the renewal for ten years, while others
spoke for a perpetual agreement such as
now exists in the National league This
was the main subject Of debate yester-
day. The article added to the agreement

follows:

as an emergency measure, and then only
