AMERICAN ASSOCIATION HAS
 FREAK SCHEDULE.

THE schedule of the American asso-
 citation. recently made public by President Chivington, contains 8 num- Der of unusual features. The substitu- tion of Cleveland for Toledo was re- sponsible for some of them particular ly for the arrangement of dates, which gives the new Forest City team fewer home games than any other club. Be- cause the series provided for Cleveland confiicted in sixteen dates with games of the American league there, these sixteen contests were transferred to other towns. The Cleveland Associa- tion team will not play at home until May IA.
 The schedule for the first time has not been drawn with the idea of avoiding conflicts with the Louisville races. and the league will compete for patronage with them. It was said that the new schedule gives Columbus a decided ad- vantage over it's three eastern neigh bors, as the Cleveland team must play . larger number of it's games away from home. The Indianapolis club will have competition at home from the Federal league. "

BROWN GETS SPRACkLING AS
 ASSISTANT COACH

w EARL SPRACKLING, 1912, will
 be assistant coach of the Brown football team in 1914. With the sign ing of the papers which make him Coach Robinson's assistant for the coming season, Browns football stock has taken a sudden rise.
 Sprackling is one of the best football men ever turned out on the hill. He was all-American quarterback in 1910 and 1911 and captain of his team in 1911. It was his spectacular work. in conjunction with that of halfback Mo- Kay, that was chiefly responsible for Browns defeat If Yale in 1910. Before entering Brown he was captain of the football team of the East high school of Cleveland. which won the Ohio state championship.
 Besides winning his football 'B'' four times, Sprackling was freshman class president, a member of the glee club. played class baseball varsity basket ball and was member of the two most important undergraduate socie- ties-the Sphinx and the Cammarian club.

WOULD PREFER COLD
 STORAGE TO CHURCH
Methodist Evangelist Says Modern
 Churches are LukeWdrIn.

There is as much chance for saving souls over the bar of the whtskey joint as over the altars of many of our churches. A red- blooded young man would rather be put in cold storage than get into some of our churches said the Rev. Harry Miller at the Methodist church evangelical service last evening. The meeting was a breezy one throughout and Frank Stevens, formerly of the United States army and a capable athlete and boxer, told of his conver- sion to religion. At 7:15 o'clock this evening he gives an exhibition boxing match at the Y. M. c. A., where he will speak on How Fighters Train All the young peoples societies in the city will rally at the Methodist church tonight.
 MT. Miller said, in part, last even- ing: Samson was a giant of super human strength When the power of God was upon him he slew a thousand of his enemies. But he disobeyed God and lost his power. He went to sleep. When he awakened he beheld his enemies, about to fall upon him, but said I've cleaned up on that bunch before and will do it now But he wist not that the Lord was departed from him. Y
 Church Modern Samson.
 'eThe church is a modern Samson. It triumphed over the deadly spell of licentious mytho1ogies, conquered kings, and empires, turned the course of history into. brighter channels and held up new ideal for manhood, and 9. new reverence for womanhood. But today the church does not com pete with the saloon, the gambling den, the brothels, the dance hall, (the brotheFs twin sister,) and the other institutions which are ruining the young manhood of America.
 Churches Are Lukewarm.
 There are 13.OOO,Oo0 young men in America between the ages of Is to 50. It is estimated that 172,O00 are active church mem nbers; 5,0OO,000 go once in while; 100000 have never darkened church door. Something is wrong The church makes feverish efforts to save them. It does not reach them. It can't compete. It is out of the running. If a baseball game were run like the average church service, the bleachers would bc empty. We need more enthusiasm. For because thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth.' God will dis own a cold church. He pleaded fervently that the church will live ac- ccrding to he teachings of Christ when 1t would have sufficient powers to meet the needs of mankind.

CARRANzA. IS WARNED
 BY UNITED STATES
Unee Sam Urges Rebel Chief to NodIfy Order Concerning SpaniaG.

Washington, April |, 8.-Vigorous representations went from the Amer ican government yesterday to Gen eral Carranza, the constitutionaiist chief, urging that he modify the or der of General Villa expelling Span States has undertaken to extend to Spaniards in Mexico the same pro- tection it affords Americans resident there, and Ambassador Riano has been assured that nothing will be left undone to assure for the unfor- which they are entitled under inter- national law and usage.
 That Spain proposes to exhaust every resource to protect her people in the revolution-torn republic was made plain yesterday when Rear Ad- miral Mayo, at Tampico, cabled the navy department that the command ing officer of the British cruiser Her merne had been instructed to care for Spaniards at this besieged fed eral port. Officials here did not com ment on this development.
 The state department, as we'll as the Spanish embassy here, is embar- rassed in dealing with the situation at Torreon by lack of exact infor- nation as to the extent of the decree of expulsion and how far it has been executed.
 The gravity of the problem has been increased by unofficial but cred ible information that this policy of 1.s~ of general application: that as rap- idly as the constitutionalists by force of arms extend their control over such cities as Saltillo and Monterey and other places now within the fed eral lines, they intend to drive out the Spaniards and seize their property.

FIELD DAY PROPOSED
 FOR N. E. 0.P. LODGES
Grand Warden William 6 Coxeter
 PreSdcS at State Convention.

Bridgeport, April s.-About soc members and eighty-eight delegates from New England attended the twenty-sixth annual session of the grand lodge of the New England Or der of Protection in this city today
 The following officers had been elected up to the adjournment for lunch:
 Grand warden, w. G. Coxeter, Hart ford; grand vice-warden, John E. Lyddy, Bridgeport; grand secretary, J. J. Minnix, New Haven; grand treas urer. F. M. Drew, Ansonia; grand chaplain, Mary A. Bruce, New Ha- ven; grand guide, Dr. J. E. Collishaw, Hartford; grand sentinel, w. A. Tay- Tor, Meriden. El
 William Coxeter Presides.
 William G. Coxeter, of Hartford, grand warden, presided. Reports presented showed that although the number of lodges at the beginning or the year was SS, there had been two consultations since January 1, mak- ing the present number 86 On Jan uary 2, Eclipse lodge of Waterbury was consolidated with Sheridan lodge of that city, and on February 20, Meriden lodge was taken over by Electric lodge. While the member ship at the close of 1913 was 13,O88, a net loss for the year of 1SO it was stated that the numerical standing of the organization since January and up to the first of the present month showed material increase. The total number of deaths in 1913 was 162. Receipts for the year were $1O,483.24 and disbursements ST. 65143, leaving a balance in the treas ury of $2,S31.81
 Financial Condition Excellent.
 Grand Warden Coxeter said in his address that financially the order in the state is in better condition than at any time since it's organization. He added: "Just how long this condition will exist is up to the members. The state has made a good healthy gain this year and if this continues we need have no fear of the future.''
 He said there had been many sus- pensions during the year, but be- Heved that members should be edu- cated up to the necessity of living up to the law. stricter enforcement of the requirements he believed would prove beneficial to the lodges.
 Among other things he recommend cd the holding of one field day to be attended by members from all over the state. the holding or district dep suty meetings in different parts of the state, and the doing away with the cffering of prizes as an incentive to activity on the part of members and the adoption by the executive com sRittee of some other plan.

 Hauser since the latter part of 1918 has been breeding over | series of re- cent misfortunes. Among these were the death of his mother, the death of his small daughter, Marian, and injury to knee, which prevented his playing last year.

A real rah rah major league
 team.
 ' Hickey is a college man, and he has ssbecome inoculated with the virus of educated baseball. With two years of Experience in handling professional players. he has had a chance to see how the major and minor leagues ham, dle train and develop baseball players.
 Then, chosen to lead the St. Louis Browns, he has set to work to develop a real baseball club and has returned to the college idea
 He doesn't care much whether they are college men or not; whether they can demonstrate the theorems of ad- vanced calculus, but he insists upon college methods. whether or not his players ever have attended night schools. He believes that intelligent educated men make the best ball play CTS, and he wants that kind-pla yers with sense enough to understand that decency and intelligence off the field indicate skill and intelligence on it.
 Hickey has fifteen college men on his list this spring, and he figures that from them he will form the most i'm telligent team in the league-even if it does not get out of last place, but he is not figuring on last place. The college men are:
 Branch Hickey. manager; Jack En- zenman, catcher: Joe Jenkins, catcher; Bill McAllister. catcher; Sam Agnew, catcher; Goodloe Rogers. catcher: Hol- lander, infielder; Roche infielder; Bold, infielder: Ed Manning. pitcher; Harry Houck, pitcher: Fred Witte. pitcher; Ed Ashley. pitcher: Clarence Walker. left fielder; Dell Pratt. infieider. and Snedscore. infelder.
 Manager Herzog of the Reds has an International battery composed of Chief Johnson. full blooded Wine bago Indian. and Gonzalez an ebony hued Cuban. of which he is very proud. He also has a Frenchman, a Swede, a few Irish, numerous Germans a Scotchman, a Norwegian, a Jew and Yingling, whose name sounds like an imported launderer. Two natives of Cincinnati are also on the Red squad and should be classified to suit the readers taste.

CTS released under optional agreements for two successive seasons, shall not exceed eight for the same year,
 News that little Jack warhop has recovered the use of his salary wing and can sail up that puxzling raise ball once more is ono of the encouraging items from the Yankees camp. War hop, whose real name is Flynn, is as game as a fighting bantam. He told Chance last year that his arm had been crippled by rheumatism and that he wouldn't sign a 1914 contract with the Yankees until he had shown conclu- sively that his shoulder was strong again. Chance says that the little fel- low will be sent in against certain clubs-the Tigers. for instance.
 is the same Quirk who forgot to put before one of the worlds series games in Boston in 1912. Wood stood in the box for eight minutes with cold wind blowing while hole in the fence was patched up. In the first inning, there fore, Wood was nearly frozen, and the Giants rolled up six runs.
 Although Vean Gregg, the Maps star left handler, was under contract for $5,000 to play again this year he told C. w. Somers, his employer, that he intended to jump to the Brooklyn Feds for more money. Somers therefore tore up Gregg's contract and signed him over again at 8 $10,00o salary.
 Russell Ford, now a Buffalo Fed, is sore on Gilmore for barring Ed Swee- ney from the new circuit. As Ford got $5.000 in advance from Gilmore, he can't be released until next year, but it's 8 good bet that he will be all through when that time comes.
 Some of the Washington players are inclined to believe that Germany Schaefer, the comedian. will go over to the Feds. As a player Germany has about outlived his usefulness to Grif- filth. At any rate, Schaefer has his cronies guessing.
 The Phillies have irons in the fire for several good players now with other major league teams. Dooin admits that he is weak at short and second and that the box needs bolstering.
 When the Cardinals open their sea- son, at home they may have to play the first game at the Browns park. Robison field is being done over and may not be finished in time.
 Fred Clarke, leader of the Pirates, certainly deserves to be called an old warhorse, but he is young in spirits at that This will be Clarke's fifteenth year as big league manager.

AGED COUPLE END
 LIFE BY HANGING
MT. and Mrs. Jacob Theis of New York Were DespOndent for Fear They
 Were a Burden.

New York, April 8.-Despondent be- cause they believed they were a bur- den to their grandchildren, Jacob Theis, 79 years old and his wife, Elizabeth, 78, committed suicide today by hanging in the apartment of their grandson, George, in First avenue.
 The old couple made careful preparations for their death.
 Apparently the old man helped his wife adjust the moose around her neck. Then he assisted her to the window sill over which the rope was fastened. When she had stepped off to her death he slashed his wrists and then hanged himself beside her. Dangling side by side, they were found by the janitor.

 Carothers had another interview with Carranza last night, but it was said that the generals attitude against the Spaniards remained unchanged.

 ''The three salient features of the campaign against Torreon which will no doubt be carried into the cam paign against other cities to the east and south-were the comparative efn- ctency of the sanitary arrangements said to be unequalled in the history of Mexican warfare; the remarkable quickness with which the wrecked railways in front of the advancing army were made passable and the continuousness of night attacks, giv- ing the combatants a weird and sim ister aspect which the struggle by by day will always lack"
