~ HE National League schedule is
adopted at last, but for the life
Of the fam it's hard to make
out which faction won-the long or the
short-season men. The adoption of the
154-game schedule hat will extend to
October 10 amounts almost to the same
thing as. the 16S- game affair, except
that the impoverished magnates will
not get the income of the extra four
teen games and the players will have
to work some extra days.
Tho wrangle promised to so on in
definitely, only the newspapers began
10 poke fun at the baby" legislators,
n Barney Dreyfuss gave up some
of his good dates and Murphy got the
Pirates to Chicago in place of st. Louis.
The sad part of the mix-up is that the
American League champions will have
to wait nearly a week before they can
meet the National League winners in
the worlds series, while the latter may
POSSIBLY be playing teams that are jusg
trying out young talent. When they
start the series it is reasonable to sup
pose that the weather will be as 1t
was last year after October 15-cold
enough to freeze the boneheads of all
who brave the danger of pneumonia to
see the National League winners suffer
as a result of their bosses spring in
discretions. It's a pity that the petty
Dickering OF the National Leaguers has
already taken a fall out of h fans
enjoyment of the worlds series.
1t is to be hoped that the National
Leaguers Will see the folly OF their
ways next year and decide on the
short schedule at the winter meeting.
1t seems strange that the National
Commission can Danish a player for
refusing to play ball because he can't
get the salary nc demands, and the
Philadelphia Club can get away with
the violation of former Manager Billy
Murray's contract with impunity. 1t
doesn't seem consistent, and the board
or directors of the National League
should decide the question at once.

hearing of Moran's appointment said;
"Gee, that's Lynch's first official mis-
take"
