President James A. Gilmore OF the Fed
eral League made public yesterday the
schedule Of games for his circuit the en-
suing season. Buffalo and Baltimore
will have the honor OF inauguratins the
indepe nd,n cause at the Maryland city
on Monday. Brooklyn and Pttspurs via
cut IN the following day at the Smoky
City, The other four teams Will wait
two days longer, until Thursday. wnen
Indianapolis wall appear In 81. LOUIS anu
Chicago at Kansas CITY.
The delay in several of these openings
was evidently the result OF eli cumstdnces
over when the + EIDE. al y. omoters had no
control. In st. Louis, tor instance are
already two well established major league
clubs. one of wh.ch will make Its 1914
bow two days before Miner Browns team
makes a bid tor public patronage. Also IL
was necessary to give the Tar Eastern
wing a slight advantage on account OF a
forced early visit to the western ex-
tremities. a.
Rrooklyn evidently was responsible for
the unusually early intersectional In
yasion The Ward interests did not become
involved in the new league until the time
vas far advanced. On this account and
because the spring has been very late II
has been found impossible to complete
,he new steel and concrete stands at
washington Park before the second week
in May. The Tip Tops had to be pro-
vided with out of town engagements dur
ing the early part OF the campaign.
b. ooklyn's first home game Is slated
for May IL with Pittsburg. To make
up for the inconvenience OF tne mrs.
few weeks the club then will remain at
Washington Park nearly a month. Brad
Iey's men have a very bad break at the
atart of the race. They open with four
games in Pittsburg, jump to Baltimore
for three; back to Pittsburg for three
additional. then on to Kansas City and
around the entire Western section OF the
circuit In short. they will be called upon
to play no less than nineteen games on
foreign fields before showing to homa
crowd.
The Brooklyn Federals will conflict with
the Dodgers thirty-three times None oil
these. however, will be on holidays TWO
Of July and Labor Day. Memorial Day
will be spent in Buffalo in opposition to
the International League club.
