New York, Feb. 29-That a stretch
Of many thousand miles Of land or
water no longer acts as a bar to am
ateur sports contests is to be again
demonstrated during the coming sea
son of outdoor competition. Sweden
is to send a track team of her best
athletes to America for series Of
international meets and almost every
college schedule shows one or more
intersectional contests. This is par
ticularly true in the 1916 football,
rowing, baseball and athletic dates.
A five or ten-day trip across the
continent no longer phases the Pa
cific coast athlete. Stanford and Cal.
ifornia universities are both likely to
he represented in the big eastern
and middle western intercollegiate
track meets with more than an even
chance that one or both varsity crews
will row at either Ithaca or Pough-
keepsie. California is at present a
member Of the eastern intercollegiate
association and Stanford has made
application for election to member
ship at the next annual meeting.
Western Athletes.
Both Stanford and California have
competed, off and on for some years,
in the middle.western conference
meets. California also has invaded
She eastern intercollegiate chamrl-
onships, but Stanford has never sent
her athletes to the Atlantic coast for
test against the pick Of the eastern
universities. The two Pacific coast
institutions are expected to have I'M
usually strong track and field teams
this year and if they enter fair-sized
squads in the eastern and middle
western Intercollegiate meets, which
are set for succeeding Saturdays, the
far coast collegians are likely to prove
factors of great importance in the
final apportionment of points.
The Conference records show that
in recent years these universities have
scored victories in many events. II
1910 both were among the leading
point winners. A year later Califor,
MIA was third out of a field of Is,
Missouri and Chicago taking first and
second places. California won in 1912
from a field of Is point winning col
leges. The succeeding season the
Berkeley athletes ran fourth and in
1914 Stanford was second and Cali

New York, Feb. 29.-BaSeball Sche-
dule experts are almost unanimous in
expressing the opinion that the Ma
tional league schedule, considered as
whole, is one of the best balanced
lists prepared in years. So far as the
allotment Of Saturday, Sunday and
holiday dates is concerned the eight
clubs Of the organization share even
". Every club secures twenty-five
Saturdays about equally divided be-
tween home and abroad. All receive
three holidays with the exception of
Boston, which secures four, owing to
the Bunker Hill day date. The four
eastern clubs play from five to six
Sunday games; Pittsburgh eleven
and the other western teams, eight
cen Or nineteen.
The final days play in the Nation
al Ieague is SCI for Thursday, October
5. and in the American league day
earlier, which will in all probability
bring the opening game Of the 1916
worlds series on Saturday, October
I. Under this arrangement the COM
peting clubs will BE certain OF one
Saturday game and if western clubs
are engaged in the title battle, one
Sunday contest. II the series extend
ed beyond four games, Columbus day
will be included and should it go
seven games, second Saturday
might be added to the list, making an
excellent outlook for the gate re-
ceipt8. The care with which the
major league schedules have been
prepared is further arrested by the
fact that there are but three conflict
ing dates.

HERMAN SAYS NO, BUT THAT
MEANS NOTHING
BY Mark Shields

BY Mark Shields
Garry Hermann says there is no
deal on for, Buck Herzog which
would mean a shift of the Red man
ager to the Cubs.
At one point during the Federal
league war Garry was out with a
statement that no Federal Lacquer
would be allowed in his park. Yes
teTday a Federal Lacquer pitched for
the Reds, and Hal Chase, king Of
leapers, is one of the stars of the
team.
So we take what Garry says with
many grains Of salt. Garry now says
the Cubs have no men he would take
in trade for Herzog. AS though the
Reds cared about material other
than the cold coin. Enough money
will get nearly any player on the Gin
Cinnati team.
That sounds like a broad state
ment, but the manner in which good
managers have been treated in Red
land is basis enough for it Appar- q,
emily a winner is not the chief aim
of the directors there.
But without Herzog or any other
new men, the Cubs are on the verge
of causing Some cOmmOtion in the
veteran major. Warm weather has
put the club in it's stride and it will
be a difficult problem for any team
in the circuit. At present the Cubs
are seven and a half games to the
rear Of the leading Dodgers, but this
is no insUTmountable obstacle.
MuIIigan has made lots of errors.
He will make many more. But there
is no question of the tall youngsters
budding ability and it may flower at
any time.> MuIly has a tendency to
play bouncing balls badly, taking the
pill on the Upbound - fighting the
ball That is certain to result in
many bobbles, but it is a fault that is
