the Wards bought into the league.
Charley Williams, secretary of the
team, has gone to Baltimore to assist
at the schedule meeting, which will
be held Monday. A big task confronts
the game fiXers in avoiding conflict
ing dates. Where a conflict is certain,
as in Chicago, the schedule will prob
ably be drawn to compete with the
least popular of the two big league
teams.
Manager Hank O'Day ran into cold
weather yesterday at Birmingham,
forcing a postponement of hostiltles,
and Immediately became pessimistic.
Reports along the route to be trav-
ersed by the Cubs are that chilly
weather will be encountered at every
step, and O'Day fears the effect on
his veteran pitchers.
He has wired permission to leave
the grapevipers in the far south until
a week or so before the opening OF
the season. Otherwise, he fears he
will be forced to start the campaign
with a bunch of screamed beavers,
who will not boil out until the middle
of summer.
The scheme calls for leaving Che
ney, Vaughn, HUMPHREYS, Smith,
Pierce and Lavender in the care of
Catchers Bresnahan and Tyree for
daily work under the hot southern
sun.
Such a plan sounds like fine busi-
ness. The pitchers would get plenty
to do every day, instead of game
now and then, as would be the case
if all came north together. They
would be under the guidance of Bres-
nahan, a wise bird, hep to the tricks
of the trade, and able to impart some
of his gray matter to them.
The Sox firsts trimmed Venice, 8 to

Larry played a game in a pair of
new shoes. The skin was rubbed off
his ankle, and blood poisoning set in,
which has infected his whole leg.
The prop is swollen and extremely
painful.
There was some talk that Larry
might lose his leg, but the physicians
believe that this danger has been
overcome, and that complete rest and
constant care will bring the expen-
sive Frenchman around in time to
join the team before the opening of
the season.
When he was hurt Larry was just
beginning to strike his stride. The
leg he injured last year was properly
healed, and he was showing the speed
and Wanted ability that made him
the most sought after man in the
American Association last year.

London, Nov z7-The disaster to the
British warship Bulwark. which was

Sheerness yesterday. was caused by an
explosion in her magazines.

Vice admirals and rear admirals were
present at the time Of the explosion
and reported that they were convinced
the disaster was due to an internal

The explosion rent the ship asunder.
