CHICAGO. Feb. 14-With the mag
mates of the American League, most of
whom are accompanied by their man.
ayers, all present, the annual schedule
meeting was held at the Congress Ho-
tel today, Ban Johnson presiding.
The adoption of the schedule is par
ticularly a formal matter and the
playing program of two years ago was
practically ruled on as the one to be
followed this year. Lively discussion
as to changes in the rules, providing
for the disposition Of recruits who
have been drafted and who are about
to be returned to the minors, was ex-
pected. The magnates will also ex-
change opinions on the proposal that
waivers be secured from all clubs in
the two major leagues before a player
may be sent to the minors
The keenest interest, however. seem
ed to be over the matter of players and
the managers held numerous confer
ences trying to reach agreements for
trades to strengthen their respective
teams.

HECKERT SIGNS
UP RUBE OLDHAM

TRENTON, N. j.. Feb. 1.-Two deals
have been announced by Manager
George w. Heckert, which will help
give Trenton a winning baseball club
next season. One was the securing
Of Pitcher Oldham, from the Phila-
deiphia National League club, and
the other was the purchase of Pitcher
Bobby Scott from Altoona.
Both of the new players are known
to local fans. Oldham is not 50
familiar as Scott. but he has pitched
here on one or two occasions. He is
a youngster, less than 20 years Of age.
rugged and left-hander Last sea-
son he pitched a few games for York
and proved a sensation. He was
owned by Philadelphia, but has heen
turned over to the local team. ~
Scott is more widely known to Tren-
tonians He was in the Tri-State
League three years ago and went from
here to the New York State League.
Last season he returned to the Tri-
State and pitched for the Altoona club.
Scott was always effective against the
hard-hitting Trentonians. and possibly
gave the locals more trouble than any
other pitcher in the league. Scott is
a terrific hitter, and has frequently.
been used to work in the outfield or as
a pinch hitter.

CASTON COMING
AFTER BROWNSON

The Brownson quintet will have
their hands full on Friday night when
they stack up against the speedy Gas
ton team Of cage marvels. On Gas
TONS last appearance here against
Brownson they tied the score in the
regulation time and an extra five
minute period had to be played. The
locals finally won out and are glad
10 have another chance to defeat
their Philadelphia rivals. The visi-
tors have been playing at fast clip
and have swept everything before
them by their remarkable team work.
All the leading Independent fives
in this section have met the sting Of
Gaston's whip and the visitors have
dropped but three games so far this
season. Brownson will use their old
lineup and should be able to stop the
onrushing strides of their opponents.
Mark McDonough. the mainstay of
the locals. will be back in the cage
again. The husky center man has
had a three weeks layoff, but never
theless, should be able to come
back in grand style. Red Walsh
may cover one Of the guard positions,
but in case he does not Joe Lacey
will be used.
Lacey is one Of Defiauces stars.
and his work against Rookwood
showed that he has the ability to
make good Larry Rigney will at
tend to the other guard berth. and
Haney and Burke will play at for
ward.

battle in the preliminary and a tight
game IS expected. Bellevue has been
defeated but once. The suburbanites'
team has several Mt. Vernon speed
