Small Chance for Long Schedule
140-Game Route Suits Southern
Bv O. B. Keller.

w re don't exactly get President
w Andrews in his contention
that the adoption of 1874
game schedule would result in finan-
cial difficulties in the Southern
League. The Chattanooga magnate
doesn't favor an extension of the
present 14O-game program, at least
for certain cities in the circuit. And,
Of course they all have TO play the
same number of games.
Here's what Prexy Andrews says;
0THE adoption of 154-game
L schedule will result in finan-
ciaI difficulties for several of the
smaller towns in the league The no.
game schedule is the best thing for
the circuit, and as for myself, shall
heartily stress the necessity for its
abortion. Judge Kavanaugh's opin-
ion in the matter comedies with
mine
THAT settles the hash for the over
L time program, We take 1t. Mr..
Andrews was member of the sched-
ME committee last year, which
worked out very popular program.
Ana he Is A. member of the schedule
committee for 1914. Besides which,
there is Judge Kavanaugh. And II
the court inclines to the short sea-
son. why, we'll just get down on
that proposition with all we have left
after a tough winters bout with the
Fl. c. of l..

NTavbe it's because we regard 1t
from an Atlanta viewpoint. But II
hos aiUavs seemed to us that If base
hall In the chill autumn will pay prot

more Of it in the glorious Indian sum
noer Of Dixieland should prove well
come innovation.
They are going to draw up sam
ME Of each schedule, to present to the
committee when it meets IN Mem
mis- next week, and then there VIII
be some debating.
Rut. as previously set forth. we are
preparing flowers for the l54-game
proposition.
As an afterthought. II occurs to US
n that the 140-game idea carried
nc quite far enough last season. one
wore week-one more day-Would
have necessitated an Atlanta annex

ONE argument in favor Of the 154-
~ game season is that it would
mean an additional stipend Of about
s15o TO each Southern League ball
PLAYER for the season. This, It IS
said would aid the league to combat
any fancy salaries with when the
Federal League might be batting It's
hooks.
the hall player looks at his salary as
SO much per month. and doubtless
would figure that if he drew s15o
more in the longer season, 1t wonld
