AMERICAN LEAGUE
ADOPTS SCHEDULE
Both Organizations Transac
Minor Business-Leave
Feds to Commission.

New York, Feb. 1s.--ln the midst
of the National league hubbub the
American league held it's schedule
meeting a few blocks away and COM
pleted it's work. The 1914 schedule
was adopted and it wac agreed that
clubs for h elimination of the draft
could not be granted. the players pur-
chased this year from these clubs
shall be permitted to finish the entire
season with their present clubs.
The Federal league was discussed
and a definite plan of action evolved
against inroads on the American
regarding this plan. which will be laid
before the national commission by
President Ban Johnson.
The discussion of the Evers case
by tho National league occupied the
greater part of what proved to be a
p~rotracted session. although many
other important matters were passed
upon. The committee Of three
Tener. Hermann and Toole-appoint-
ed for inter-league business. was dis
charged and in future all matters Of
Importance calling for action between
agues will be entrusted to the ma
tional commission, which has full
ton which may be found necessary
in dealing with the Federal league or
any. other organization outside organ
lied professional baseball.
Won't Use Same Parks.
1t was unanimously agreed that in
future there should be no joint occu-
pancy of major league grounds by
major league clubs except in cases Of
extreme emergency and then only
with the approval of the club inter.
ested as we'll as the majority of the
clubs Of both National and American
leagues.
The secretary was instructed TO re.
quest the national commission to
hand over a sum amounting to near.
~ $4,000, which is Is per cent of
h New York clubs profits from the
last worlds series, and which is to
be divided among the other clubs Of
tho league.
Umpire Rigler's claim against the
old management Of the Philadelphia
club was reported to have been eatis-
tactorily adjusted by the payment Of
$1,000 to Rigler and due credit was
given to the earnest endeayors Of
Governor Tener in bringing about this
settlement. ~
h request Of the class IA leagues
for exemption from the draft rule was
refused. but this action was taken
through the national commission. the
American league having taken similar
action earlier in the day.

This fact indicates that the robber-
les were the work of oil -fashioned
burglars. rather than of those modern
ones, who fear nothing and stop at
nothing. The criminals Of bygone
days usually had some sort of a be-
lief in the hereafter-a belief that
made them fear death and kept them
from taking human life unless abso-
1utely driven to it. There remained
in the breast Of nearly every one OF
them some shred Of conscience or gu
pe.stition. To the criminal OF today
this life Is merely a s%ojourn in a hotel.
which may be terminated at any mo-
ment or prolonged for years. The on
ly vengeance he reckons on Is that
which may be melted out to him on
earth. That is why he will commit
murder for a fixed consideration and
take his chance Of being caught.
By reason Of his own disbelief and
his reckless contempt for human life,
he is moro dangerous than any OF his
predecessors.

Los Angeles, Feb. Is. - Frank
Chance, manager Of the New York
American leagueHteam, said yesterday
he was in the field to get Johnny
Evers, the Chicago Cub manager. let
u by Murphy.
II don't care what the Federal
league Offers" he said. Il will pay
more. Evers is a great ball player. I
played with him and know, and I am
sure he will play good ball for the
New York Americans"
Chance made It plain. however, that
his determination to get Evers de-
pended on whether the national base
ball commission declared Evers a
free agent and thus able to negotiate
for another place.
Murphy" he said. 'is a n to

politics in the National league and
has given the Federal league an OPP
portunity to get a foothold.
There Is no more call or use for a

not been for Murphy there would
have been no Federal league"

work for Murphy. He treats ball play
ers as slaves: Some people thought I
was crazy when / threw up my place
and sold the stock l owned in the
Chicago club, but I am sure they do
not think so now.
Il was able to continue with the
Cubs as long as I did because I had q
side contract. apart from my contract
as a player, to manage the team, and
!DN IN terms Of this contract Murphy
had no control whatever over the
team. He could not have come into
the club house without my consent
under the terms of the contract. If
it had not been for that Murphy
would ave disrupted the Organization
and We would have had a

NAVY MAY GO THROUGH
 PANAM ACANAL SOON

WASHINGTON, May 12--As an ob- ject lesson to the world the Navy De. partment Is planning a gigantic naval parade through the Panama Canal at an early daate. The exact time has not been set, but when Col. Goethals announces the canal in readiness the powerful fighting force massed on the east coast of Mexico will pass through to the Pacific and return.
 Speaking of the plan, Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels said:
 "The navy's work at Vera Cruz vir- tually is done and Tampico stands ready to be taken whenever 1t is deem ed necessary. For these reasons the armada could be spared without dang. CT. The troops and marines now ashore will be amply sufficient to care for any eventuality."
 It is Secretary Daniels plan to send the Canal first a fiotilla of submarines, followed by torpedo boat fiotilla, then by gunboats, cruisers and finally the battleships. The big sea fighters will come last and will be classified accord ing to the size and draught.
 "The first of the flrstclass battle ships to so through probably will be the Arkansas or the Florida" said the Secretary. Under no circumstances would I order either the New York or the Texas through before the limita' tions of the Canal had been ascer- tained"

HOMESTEADERS SEEKING
 RENAL PENINSULA LAND

Joseph Guyot, writing from Seward to w. P. Southworth. of this city, says there are many people going into the country tributary to Knik seeking homesteads. He estimates the num- Der at 40, and says Knik is lively. He writes that things are dull at Seward, but that the expectations of the peo- pie are high.
 Mir. Guyot believes that the engin. eers will eventually decide upon Sew ard as the terminus of the Alaska railroad. He thinks that it will be discovered that Portage Bay is not suitable for that purpose.
 There is nothing at Seward for laboring men. according to MT. Guyot, and he suggests that they not permit railroad reports to lead them to go there unless they have work in sight. or money to keep them for a few weeks.
 Seward people are expecting out side capital to come there this sum. mer in search of mining investments, and there will be a good deal of pros. pecting in that vicinity, according to Mir. Guyot.
