 Schardt thinks it an injustice Tor a haIlnIayers to go through a strenuous season of 16s games and then have the schedule moved up to make off days for exhibition games.
 "It deprives us of a days rest that belongs to us,'' said Bill. I don't think baI1p1ayers signs to play ex- hfbition games, when he puts his name to a contract in the spring. IT we must play extra games, the ssched- uIe should be shortened to make room for them
 The Cleveland Maps have been a lite tie different in their dealings The players have received a liberal per- centage of the receipts of all exhibi- ton games, and it ann ounted to a con- son. On clubs where they are treat ed this way the players do not object to the extra work.

Iavtgne had become lightweight champion of the world about a year before, upon the retire ment of the undefeated champion, Jack McAuliffe. In Mcfarland the Saginaw kid met, a strong contender for the honors, and Lavigne had to extend himself to the limit to retain his title. Lavigne held the title a little over three years, defending it against Dick Burge, the English champion, and several others, and lost it to Frank Erne at Buffalo in 1899.
