FEDS CONFLICT
IN MANY GAMES
Schedule Released Today Shows
Impossibility of Non Con-
flicting Dates.

Chicago. April 9.-The Federal
league will conflict with organized
ball in 275 games this year, according
to its schedule which was announced
here today by President Gilmore. The
schedule was adopted practically as
drawn up by Secretary Lloyd Richard,
who spent weeks trying to overcome
the many difficulties that had to be
surmounted before a chart acceptable
TO all the clubs. was possible.
! The impossibility of avoiding con
fiicts was recognized at the
start, but Richard eliminated many
of them that at first seemed probable
would have to stay in the schedule.
The fact that Baltimore and Buffalo,
for instance, are in one section in the
Federal league and in different sec
tions in the International made it i'm
possible to arrange the chart that both
clubs would be away when their COM
petitors were at home. Similar con-
ditions governed Kansas City and In
dianapolis. and Brooklyn and Pitts
| burgh.
The greatest number of conflicts
take place in St. Louis, where the
Federal leaguers will compete with
the American and National league
teams in 40 games. Chicago is next
with about IS conflicts. Kansas City
has "a. indianapolis about 20. Pitts
burgh %, Baltimore 20, Brooklyn y
and Buffalo 20
The objection of President Ward of
the Brooklyn club to Sunday baseball
resulted in the Brooklyn team being
carded TO play double-headers on five
Saturdays which preceded the Sun
days into which its series in western
towns would naturally run.
The opening of the season will
spread over several days. Only one
game will be played on April Is. when
Buffalo opens the season at Baltimore
On April II Pittsburgh starts the cam
paign at home with Brooklyn. On
April 16 indianapolis opens the season
at st. Louis and Chicago at Kansas
City. Home games in Chicago and
Indianapolis will be played first by
Kansas City and st. Louis April %.
Before they play at home, the Brook
Ign and Buffalo teams will be on the
road nearly month. After the two
opening series. they, as well as the
Pittsburgh and Baltimore teams. tour
the four cities of the western section. |
and will not appear before the fans OF
their home towns until May II.
Memorial day, double-headers will be /
played by Kansas City at St. Louis, In |
dianapolis at Chicago. Pittsburgh at
Baltimore, and Brooklyn at Buffalo. |
On July 4, st. Louis plays two games
at Kansas City. Chicago at Indianapo- |
lis. Buffalo at Brooklyn. and Baltimore |
at Pittsburgh. On Labor day. St Louis |
is at Kansas City, Chicago at Indian /
apolis. Baltimore at Brooklyn. and Bal |
