BASEBALL TOO BRUTAL:
ROMANS HALT PROGRAM
Special to The Telegrabb

Rome, Feb. 1.-THE unfamiliarity
of the Italians with baseball was dem
onstrated yesterday by the refusal of
the authorities to permit an exhibition
game between the New York team
of the National League, end the Chi
Cages. of the America. league, with
out first being convinced that 1t is not
a brutal game"
After the points of the game were
explained the authorities still insisted
that q net be erected within the sta
dunn to protect the spec .ators. Even
when promises were given that this
precaution would be taken permission
was withheld until Wednesday at noon
when few innings will be played
for the benefit of the authorities who
desire to judge for themselves what
manner of game the American pas
time Is.
Arrangements have been made for
an audience with the Pope, but on
account of the action of the civic au-
thorities, some of the players will have
to forego this honor.

JOHNNY EVERS CASE
Up To THE LEADERS
Deposed Players Will Be Given
Hearing by the National
Commission

New York, Feb. 1.-THE deposal OF
Johnny Evers as manager of the Chi
cago Nationals by Charles w. Murphy,
owner Of the club, for the moment has
sidetracked the important consid-
GRAFTON that has brought so many
baseball men to the city, the menace
of the new Federal League.
The national commission members,
Ban Johnson, August Hermann and
John K. Tener, were apparently so
much perturbed at the news, coming
as it does at a so critical a time in
baseball affairs, that they met in
formally and discussed the matter last
night. No public statement was made
after the meeting, but it is known that
Evers will go before the commission
in the next day or two with his con-
tracts.
Governor Tener, president of the
National League, said that he would
study the contracts held by Evers and
that the player manager would get
justice. President Murphy, of the
Chicago club, said that he had nothing
to add to his statement given out in
Chicago concerning the deposal of
Evers and signing of Hank O'Day,
one-time manager of the Cincinnati
club, to take Evers' place.
The American League officers met
to-day to adopt playing schedule for
1914. The opening dates will prob
ably coincide very nearly with those
announced yesterday by the National
League, which call for initial contests
on April IA, with the closing of the
season on October Z. To fill their
playing dates the National League
clubs will travel S1.9S9 miles

Murphy Explains
the Evers Incident:
Was Too Impulsive
BY Associated Press

Chicago, ILL.,. Feb. IL. The dis
charge of Johnny Evers yesterday as
manager of the Chicago National
League team and the appointment of
Henry O'Day to succeed him, while
almost as great surprise as the dis
missal of Frank Chance in 1912, had
been planned for some time. This
became known to-day, when baseball
writer's recalled an interview with
President c. w. Murphy last week in
which Evers was criticised.
There are three types of man
agers," Murphy said, "the man who
manages and plays in the games, the
man who manages from the coaching
line and the man who manages from
the bench. Chance was a great man
of the first type, McGraw and Calla-
han are great in the second and Con-
ME Mack and Stallings are leaders in
their style. Evers is great ball
player, but too impulsive to be a
manager and player at the same
time"

Schedule Adopted
by National League;
Plums Evenly Divided
Special to The TELEGRAPH

New York, Feb. lin addition to
ousting Johnny Evers as manager of
the Chicago Cubs and signing Hank
ODay, the veteran umpire, to lead
tne cups, the only real business trans
acted by the National League mag
mates was the adoption of a schedule
Inc season will open April IA, and
close October Z. According to a not
Ice accompanying the schedule no
changes shall be made that will con-
met with the American League play
ing dates, and double-headers shall
not be scheduled for conflicting dates
except by the consent of President
Johnson, of the American League. An
exception to this ruling is made on
the hnal trip of the season, to be ex-
erclsed only in the case of absolute
necessity. There are but four con-
Hlctlng dates. however, all of which
occur in Chicago, those being May 10,
81, July and September 13.
In the distribution of home holiday
ana saturday dates, those schedule
piums are about evenly apportioned,
aithough the western clubs have a
slight advantage over their eastern
rivals.
Inc Phillies have secured several
rlch plums, and with the team in the
nght for the pennant the financial re-
turns should be big. Besides opening
the season at home with the Giants on
April IA the Phils have thirteen Sat
urdays at home and two holidays,
Boston being here on Memorial Day
and Brooklyn on Labor Day.
Away from home Philadelphia has
twelve Saturdays, five SUNDAYS and
one holiday, that being played in New

Pittsburgh draws fifteen SATURDAYS
and three holiday dates; Chicago four
teen Sundays, eleven Saturdays and
TWO holidays. st. Louis secured eleven
Sundays, ten Saturdays and one holi-
day and Cincinnati has fifteen Sun
days and ten Saturdays. In the East,
Boston has thirteen Saturdays and
three holiday dates. New York and
Brooklyn share alike, each being al
loted fourteen Saturdays and one
holiday.
The road schedule shows that Gin
cinnati has fifteen Saturdays, two Sun
days and three holidays; Chicago,
fourteen Saturdays, three Sundays and
two holidays; st. Louis, fifteen Satur-
days, six Sundays and two holidays;
New York, eleven Saturday, five Sun
days and two holidays; Brooklyn re-
