MAY SHORTEN SEASON
FOR MAJOR LEAGUES
National League Owners Believe Ban
Johnson's Plan Will Help Business.

New York. Dec. 1s.-No oficial an
nouncement was made at either major
league meeting last week as to schedule
plans for 1917, writes w. ]. Macbeth, In
the New York Tribune.
The joint schedule committee Is soon to
meet to draft dates for the coming sea-
son. 1t would not be at all surprising II
the experiment Of contracting the play
ing season were attempted by the Ma
tional and American Leagues,
For several years Ban Johnson has ad-
vocated a schedule Of 40 instead of 154
games. He was prevented from putting
bis theory to the test because of the
unanimous opposition by National League
club-owners. OF course, the American
League could not afford to remain idle
while the National was operating. As q
matter Of self-protection the schedules
must coincide.
Opinion, however, seems to have
changed in the National League. More
than one club president of the Tener cir
cult last week expressed the opinion that
1t might prove beneficial to lop OF q
couple OF weeks. especially as with the
new form Of contract, and in keeping with
the expressed policies Of economy it would
be possible to tighten salaries accord
ingly.
The scheme may not be attempted this
year., said q National League advocate
Of Johnson's idea, but 1t Is bound to
come In 1918. unless early spring weather
conditions improve.
For the last five years early season
business has been very poor. Only the
weather has been to blame, as under
normal conditions public interest in every
city should be at high pitch for the first
six weeks Of the season. It takes that
time for each big league club to make the
complete circuit, and for that part Of the
journey, at least. every entrant has
pennant chance.
October weather invariably has proved
more affable to the game than late April
and early May. But by October interest
Is dead. save In the cities which have
teams that enjoy mathematical chances
to win q pennant Even II the 154-game
schedule is to remain an institution,
believe 1t would be Q wise move to open
ten days or two weeks later and close
later. There are enough open dates to
permit q more compact schedule that
would delay the wind-up only a few days
later than last year. The American
League clubs Of the West had finished

League close In the East last season"

BLUDGEON W1ELDERS
T. PRODUCE some ALIBIS
Those Who Slumped in 1916 Point to
Enlightening Pitching Records.

(By the International News Serviee.)
New York. Dec 1s.-Some OF the blud-
geon wielders in the National League
who failed to sting the ball safely al
many times as they had hoped to during
the 1916 season have an alibi.
Yes, boy! And that alibi can be found
In the pitching records OF the forkhand

you at first, but II you, Mr. Fan, had
stood up against some of the uncanny
southpaw twirlinE that National League
batsmen faced last summer you'd under

In slanting at the pitching records for
1916 we notice that the southpawing fell

runs made or them were fewer than
those made OF the righthanders

against him all season. Not bad, eh?
In second place Is Grover Alexander
Of the Phils, and. of course, Grover is
