MAY BLOCK BROOKLYN,
Opposition to Grooms Opening Sea
son Ahead of Time.

NEW YORK, February 12.-Magnates
OF the National League, meeting here to-
day to adopt the playing schedule for
the coming season. were confronted with
unexpected opposition to the plan to al
low the Brooklyn club to open the new
Eboets Field April g. one day ahead of
the opening games in other cities. The
New York club is said to oppose an early
opening in Brooklyn. and President Lynch
has already voiced an objection The
American League has given it's consent to
an early opening for Brooklyn, as that
would prevent conflicting date with the
New York Americans and the Washing
tons in this city. Garry Hermann says
that Cincinnati and five other clubs will
favor the Ebbets plan for an early open
ing.
Managers Tinker of Cincinnati E,vers
of Chicago and Stallings of Boston are
looking about to make advantageous
trades.

One glance at Frank Chance is conVinc-
ing that the former leader of the Cubs
is again in perfect health. In fact, Chance
never looked better in his life, and there
is no doubt that he can play ball. Chance
is sure to be a success in New York re-
CARELESS Of the showing his team may
make in the coming campaign. 1t will
not take him long to realize what is
necessary to assure his success. Just
soon as he makes il plain to the powers
that be that he will not tolerate inter
ference he will have started on the right
path. There have been too many tale
carriers connected with the New Nork
management. A system Of espionage has
been used on former. managers which
has proved a serious handicap. Chance
Will not stand for that sort of treatment
and he will have nerve enough to de-
clare himself.
1t is. of course, absurd to predict a
high position in the race for Chances
team the coming season, though there
Is doubt that his presence Will
strengthen it considerably But even
Chance. who is regarded asa one of the
wisest men in base ball, cannot perform
miracles and he must be given time 10
build up his aggregation. The shift of
Hal Chase from first TO second cannot
lurt matters. tnaSe Will not nave ~
be a bowling success in the position to
help his team, for in recent years rather
mediocre players have filled that place,
and Chase, even though, he Is left
handed, is sure to be an improve
ment. Chance. if he plays-and there
seems to be no doubt about twill add
additional strength for the reason that
he is very clever first baseman,
good hitter and base runner. and his
presence on the field is going to help his
team not little.
When Connie Mack sounded the warn
ing against extravaganza in base ball he
had good reasons for taking the position
he did. Mack made the point that bail
clubs cannot afford to pay the fabulous
he came to this conclusion after care
fully studying the trial balance of the
Athletics last seasons business.
Though the team was prominent IN the
race all season and only in the losing
weeks lost whatever chance II had Tor the
pennant, il Is an actual fact that the club
profits for the season We're just Il few dol
lars over the eleven tho usand-d dollar mark.
This astounding fact came out during the
meeting of the club owners III New ork this
week II shows conclusiVely that the time
when club could prosper on twenty-five
cent ball has ceased Salaries and eN-
game profitable on so cheap a basis OF
admission. When Shibe Park was built II

| as many tWenty-five-cent patrons as pos

pennants they stand but little chance to
make any money. This year prices are to

more ffty-cent seats than ever before, but
it is. of course. going to be no easy matter
to Wean the public from its twenty-five
cent IDEAS. and even with a successful
team Mack's chances for making money
are rather slim.
When Charley Murphy made up his
mind to let Frank Chance out of the ciuD
management he wanted Joe Tinker 10 MI
his shoes. Tinker refused the position
because he did not want it to appear that
he had undermined his manager. Then
the proposition was submitted to Evers,
and he accepted. Chance does not hest
tate to say that Tinker was of more help
to him in Chicago than Evers and that
for this reason he should be a successful
manager. That Murphy is by no means
certain of Evers success is indicated by
the fact that he has agreed to appoint
Bresnahan to that position in the event
that Evers should fail. Just what view
Evers will take of the matter when he
learns that Bresnahan is on his team for
the purpose of taking his job remains to
be seen.
When Griffith signed Schaefer and AL
trock last season for the sole purpose of
using them on the coaching lines, he
made an innovation which seems to have
become popular with at least one other
American League manager. Jim Gala
han. Last season the White SoX had
Kid Gleason as a sort OF an assistant
manager and coach. and he is to have
an assistant in the person of Jack Doyle,
once star on the old Baltimore team.
Neither Gleason nor DOYLE do any comedy
stunts. as do Schaefer and Altrock. They
are used for the purpose of diSconcertins
rival players by means of a lot of select
language of which they make a specially.
AS was predicted, there were no deals
made by the clubs o fthe American League
during it's recent meeting. Not Il single
player was secured by any of the clubs,

Eddie Ainsmth Has Completely Recovered Hedth-bo

and. in fact. the subject of trades was
never brought up. Had Chance been
more familiar with conditions on the New
York team he might have preached the
subject, but not knowing much about the
players, he will have to start with what
he has. He refused to take any chances
of being Stung in some sort of swap
Trading DAYS are virtually over in base
ball. Once in while two clubs may
come to some sort of an agreement re-
garding swap, but nowadays a club
holds what it has and can use and sends
to the minors those players who do not
come up to the standard.

BIG BOY CRIED;

SAD CASE OF LITTLE BRookMAN
WHO CAME FROM Elwoop.
TO SEE SPECIALISTS
Doctors to Treat an lneura-
Bile Case.

His last hope gone. little Harry
Brookman, OF Elwood, cried. while
women wept in sympathy. and strong
men slyly wiped away tears. The boy,
who is fifteen years old. had come all
the way to the United Doctors Insti-
tute TO be examined by these master
medical specialists. Harry was suf-
fering from paralysis due to a fall
down stairs, and as many doctors had
treated him. and all had failed to cure.
his last hope was conferred in his
faith In the great specialists.
The boy had been carried into the
United Doctors office on his fathers
shoulder. and on account of his weak.
ened condition other patients gave
their turn to him In order that the
poor boy might consult the special
lists at once.
After the boy had been thoroughly
examined the specialist placed his
hand on the little fellows head. and
turning to the father. said: 81 am very
sorry that il is not within my power
to cure your boy. but such is the case,
and therefore I will not treat him"
The father then offered to pay a
large sum for treatment in the hope
that even II the boy could not be
cured, he might be benefited. But the
specialist was firm, explaining that
the boys condition was due to a de-
formed condition of the spine. and was
incurable by medical treatment. AS
Harry was being carried through the
waiting room he realized that his last
hope was blotted out. and It was then
that he broke down and cried. and the
waiting patients wept in sympathy
The little fellow frightened up enough
to shake hands with the great special
list and thank him for the free exami-
nation. and say he was glad there was
one doctor honest enough not to take
his papa's money when they could do
MIN no good. -Advt.
