involved and Intricate task. that there
was not time TO make the switch.
The reason for the change viii be the
punching Of all the Sunday towns on

cities VIII then be Sunday ball towns.
1T viii be a saving 70 the league Of
fully $50 coo. % said President Stein, and
we VIII most aSSureCly adopt il next
year As Il is at present there are
three Sunday towns IN the East and one
in the West Thus not all teams can be
playing on sunday If Baltimore, the
CUlV Eastern city which has not Sunday

: NEW YORK, Feb 14.-While nothing

| II IS almost certainty that the Ma
tional League club owners. Ike the
American League maguates, viii adopt
| a schedule calling for 154 games.
/ Reports from Chicago last week had
/ It that Charles w. Murphy. OF Chicago,
| and n. Stanley Robson, Of St Louis,

schedule. On their way East. however,
Murphy and Robson stopped off in

/ decided TO abandon the long schedule
/ scheme and go along. as in the last six
/ years on the basis OF Isl games.
In one way the predicted decision Of
| the National Leaguers to retain the 81
! game schedule may be considered as a
/ victory for Ban Johnson. president Of
| the American League. and IN another
/ way persons interested I'm baseball may
/ take If to mean that Tom Lynch, presi-
/ dent OF the National League, recently
| has been busy disseminating the propa-
/ sanda that the club owners Of the big
/ leagues should work together in peace
and harmony and that the wishes Of

I schedule prepared by EbDets, Lynch,
and Dreyfuss into the waste basket
when IL is presented to them at the
meeting in the Waldorf tomorrow after
noon and unanimously adopt the Isl
game schedule drafted by these men.
Since the peace agreement was adopted,
there have been few disputes between
the American and National Leagues, and
IN important matters Of policy they have
always agreed Tt seems 60 he certain
that the idea has become current I'm the
