Continued Through Today.
Transfer Ratified.

NEW YORK, March o. - F>ed1ral
League owners met and talked at the

They will meet and talk there again
today.
After the pow-wow. which was a
star chamber affair. James A. Gilmore.
president Of the league. announced that
he and his conferees had done number
of things. They had ratified the trans
fer Of the Indianapolis club franchise
to Harrison n. j.. and had approved
the continuance OF the Kansas City club
in that city. They also decided that
Bennie Kauff. the hard hitting out
fielder, should play with the Tip Tops

The rumored shift of managers. by
which George Stovall, of Kansas City,
was to change places with Bill Phillips,
Of the Newark club. did not take place.
at least officially Stovall was on deck,
as he had come in on that train so
popular with the baseball mNgnates. the
Twentieth Century Limited, together
with the Gilmores and c. G.. Madison.
Of the Kansas City club. But Bill Phil
ips got lost somewhere on the way. So
the deal will hang fire TIL today. when
he Is expected to arrive.
The real business of the meeting, the
adoption Of the schedule for the coming
season, will be taken up today. Drafts
of the schedule were presented to the
magnates b. Lloyd Rickert and Robert
league. These will be studied and ap-
proved. The scheule will contain 154
games, and the opening date, it is
understood. will be April 10.

affected by the loss in batting strength

dition to losing two pitchers, Yale has
lost swlhart. at first base, Cornish at
