~ RESIDENT o. B. ANDREWS, of
the Chattanooga club, may
have the same initials as we
have, and all that, and. of course, we
feel more or less drawn toward him.
But we simply can't let him get away
with this compressed schedule bunch.
Not without at least one long and
loud chrp of protest.
OF course, if President Obediah
didn't saw it, all this doesn't go, you
understand.
But If he did say it, as quoted,
we're agin him.
Mr.. Andrews is said to have said
that if the Southern League decides
to adopt the 1874 game schedule to
replace the usual 140-game program,
it ought to be played in the same
length Of time as the 140-game seized :
ule.
E>VEN II we weren't disposed to take
L the part of the ball players, al
ready Worked pretty nearly to Shr
limit by scheduled double-headers
and those resulting from postponed
and tie games, we would let out a
roar of protest against having to sit
I'D in a press coop and watch the
overtime slaughter.
Not being entirely selfish, we will
protest in the name of the ball play
ers. taking the position that the pub
lie is able to protect itself by not
going to double headers IL it doesn't
want to. It usually does, for some
reason. But that fact doesn't entitle
it to any defense
THE 14O-game schedule fills com
i fortably all the space now pro-
vided for it. and supplies quite enough
double headers, given even fair
break in the weather conditions.
PLAYING or attempting to play,
fourteen more games in that period
would make that Augean stables job
look like a contract to keep the bios
SONS picked off century plant.
Under absolutely ideal weather con-
ditions ii might be done. But 1t
would be a fearful grind for the ball
nlavers and for such patrons as were
in any sort of sympathy with the S.
p. c. A.
M OREOVER, that sort OF thing ap-
lNl peals to us as no sort OF sug-
gestion TO pull at this juncture In the
affairs of men.
Here is the Federal League, going
out after ball players in every direc-
tion-and getting them, say what you
please about It. Without praise OF
blame of the Feds, 1t may be SAID
fairly that the 4-games-in-hVe-
months plan offers more inducements
10 southern League ball players to &C
and play ball somewhere else than
anv other idea that could be uncorked
And the Southern League ball play
ers have. as rule, shown themselves
very loyal this winter in the face OF a
good deal of temptation
THE 154-game schedule, with M
teen Gays added to the length o.
the playing season, would be pretty
neat move to combat the depreda-
lions Of the Feds, 1t would give

and il is being constructed under the
direction of the Seattle Park Com
missioners The new links, inchd
ing the land for children's play
ground, is composed of one hundred
acres, beautifully situated on the
crest Of Beacon Hill and commanding
a fine view of the city on the west
and with towering mountains stand =
ing like sentinels around.
The course will consist of eighteen
holes, with a total length. of $3.50
yards The first nine holes are $3.50
yards long, and the second an even
5000 yards.
THE lengths OF the various holes
are: First, 300 yards: second
