PREDICT A SHORT SCHEDULE
Injuries and illness to Many Players
Early in Season May Force
Leagues to Take Action.

The poor physical condition of many
ball players in the major leagues
caused by the cold and damp weather
early this season has resulted in an
agitation to curtail the playing sea-
son. Weather conditions caused sew
eral club owners to declare there
should be radical reform in making
Of schedules.
Not only did the players feel the Ill
effects from the weather. but records
from the clubs show that the atten-
dance figures fall below the mark Of
other years.
The playing form Of the big league
clubs was also below standard except
in one or two cases. The Philadelphia
National League club and the New
York American League club played
many games with teams made up al.
most entirely Of substitutes.

With Flag If Expectations OF
Fans Are Realized.

From the start the New York Giants
lave obtained, many followers of the
national game are predicting that Nc
Graw's team will romp away with the
National league pennant again this
year. From their work so far in the
1912 season, the Giants have evident
ly begun just where they left Off in
the league last year, and, even though
they have played the majority of their
games on the road, including one
western trip, they have found it easy
to win practically three out Of every
four games played.
1t has been a combination of good
pitching, hard hitting and daring base
running on the part OF the New York
team. Marquard Is proving the sem
sation of the year, while Mathewson
