lean League for twenty years at
salary said to be $4,000 year at the
closing session of the annual sched-
ule meeting yesterday.
The agreement under which the
league has existed since November
1900, was renewed for a period of 90
years. In the new agreement is a
clause forbidding any club owner or
holder of stock in any club to hold
shares in any other club in the
league except as an emergency
measure" This will prevent any so
called syndicate baseball All the
other articles of the agreement were
retained in the new one.
Uniform tickets with rain check
coupons practically the same as now
in use in the National League were
adopted.
A schedule of 1874 games, opening
on April IA and closing on October 8,
was unanimously adopted. This
schedule was the only one submitted
to the meeting and was adopted with
out change. 1t was announced than
the dates selected would be retained
whether the National League plays
154 or l6S games. If the National
League selects the shorter season
there will be only ten conflicting
dates between the two leagues. Eight
of these will be in Chicago and two
others in st. Louis.
While no official statement was
made that Mr.. Johnson's salary had
been increased from $4,000 to $685.
goo, it was said on good authority
that such was the case. Mr. John
son refused to talk of the reported
salary increase. but smilingly said
that It was a personal matter He
also returned the same answer to the
question as to how old he would be
when his term of office will expire
