clubs would tend to produce this re-

new ambitions.
Armour to Direct Brewers.
The return. of William Armour to
the association as president of the
Milwaukee club was regarded as the
most important single piece of news.
The report that Armour actually has
made Il cash investment as announced
was questioned in some quarters, but
1t Is known that he is financially able
to have dom SO if he wanted to. More
important to Milwaukee fans Is the
fact that Armour will be directing

out youngsters who became stars. and
In his baseball career he probably has
developed as many young fellows as
any person In the country. He always
kept his. club up in the race n often
with seemingly poor prospects at the
beginning Of the season.
There was little question hat the
1853 game schedule would be retained,
as it had proved successful, although

-Four Trips More Profitable.
The return to the four trip schedule
of 1911, as recommended by the
schedule committee, was the result of
the comparison of attendance figures
for 1912 with those of 1911. The
argument was advanced that clubs

plan through the box Office.
WatIlcn TO Take Charge.
1t is understood that the retirement
of William Neal as business manager
of the Colonels means thai President
Wathen will retire from active par
ticipation in his other Louisville en-
terprises and will devote his entire
attention to the Colonels. Louisville's
apparent divorce from tho Chicago
Cubs by the change of ownership was
shown in the efforts of MANAGER Hay
den to make some sort of a deal for
ovcrplus players with the White Sox.
incidentally Manager Callahan Of
the White SoN said the deal With Mil
waukee b.: which several players were
turned V @ for Catcher Schalk last
season was ended SO far as the SoX
are concerned and that talk of the
Brewers securing a first baseman as
part Of the deal was unfounded.
