The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1910-02-18

Those of the National League mag
mates who favor the 16S-game sche-
dule are grasping at every straw in
their efforts to carry the fight their
way. Their latest argument is that
the long schedule will have to be
adopted now in order to demonstrate
that the National League Is entirely
Independent of the American League.
They were under the impression that
Ban Johnson's League had prepared
two schedules each of I54 games,
one to be used IL the National League
adopted the 16S-game schedule and
the other to be used IL they adopted
the 154-game schedule. 1t developed
after the meeting of the American
League magnates that they had
unanimously adopted 154-game
schedule. that 1t was the only one
submitted and that the action was
taken without regard to the moguls
OF the National League or any sche-
dufe they might adopt. 1t was further
announced that the dates selected
would be retained whether the Ma
tional League plays i54 or 1853 games
Dreyfuss. Hermann and Dewey.
who favor the short schedule, are not
likely ever to give in and will not be
moved from their position by the
argument that they should favor the
long schedule as an evidence of COM
Ptete Independence or the National
League. Ebbetts was right when he
said that the three magnates want
the short schedule because they have
peHRaHt hopes. IT rs business propo-
sition with them and their object is
to get the most money possible. They
figure that If they win the pennant,
the worlds series will net them more
coin and glory than they could pos
sthly get from the fourteen extra
games. Having tasted the fruits OF
the worlds series and with a good
chance to enjoy them again, Barney
Dreyfuss. of the champion Pirates, is
ioath to forego his prospects. With
one feague playing the long and one
the short schedule there would be no
worlds series.--4t Is quite evident
why those who have no pennant
hopes care nothing about the worlds
series. they can only see the extra
revenue that they expect from those
additional games.

Johnson are worth S2500D "a wear "a

NEW YORK. Feb. 1s.--"The Ma
tonal League will adopt the 1861

Statement subscribed to by Charles
Webb Murphy, OF the Cubs; Ebbetts.
OF the Trolley Dodgers: Fogel of the
4Philiies. and Robson. Of the Cardi-
nails
The National League will adopt q
1b4-game achedule or none at all !"
Statement by Garry Hermann. of the
Reds; Dreyfuss. OF the Pirates;
Dovey. Of the Beaneaters, and Brush.
of the Giants.
That's the situation to-day In Ma
tional League baseball circles. The
vote Is 4 to 4, though there Is "a
sneaking suspicion that when the
smoke of battle has cleared away
and the magnates have adjourned to
drain the harmony" bumper that
always follows National League
meetings, the shorter schedule VIII
have been adopted.
The magnates meet again this
afternoon. but there Is little chance
that the schedule matter will be
taken up at all. Whenever National
League magnates cannot agree on a
question. they revise their constitu-
ton and the constitution is now
undergoing thorough revision.
1t develops that the fight over the
adoption of the schedule Is due TO
conflicting dates with American
League teams. especially in Chicago.
In the Windy City, the American
League team meets the Detroit team
on eight Sundays. while the Cubs
are playing st. Louis. Murphy and
Robson object strenuously to the
conflicting dates. Barney Dreyfuas
sought TO do away with this by offer
ing to have the pennant-winning
Pirates play in Chicago on half those
Sundays as q counter attraction TO
the Tigers. but without avail.
There Is a growing suspicion that
the American League magnates. In
adopting their schedule. put 1t all
over" the National League owners IN
matter of selection OF good dates, and
10 National League people are talk
Ing of having the schedules for both
leagues made out IN ~fntnrs-by the
National Commission, so al to avoid
all conflict In dates between the
major league teams.
