CHICAGO, Dec l4.-There viii be
no curtailment of the playing season,
no slashing the player limit. nor lin
itation of the training season in the
major leagues next year. The club
owners of the National and American
leagues decided at their joint meeting
here today that there was no cause
for alarm in baseball at present They
agreed, that if the war forces them
to retrench it will be time enough to
adopt a war policy when they actually
face conditions next spring.
The two leagues decided to open
the 1918 season on Tuesday, April 16,
week later than last year, and to
play a 154-gape schedule. which has
been the program for years: The Ma
tional league agreed to the American
league plan for the collection of the

collect only what the government i'm

cents on pavilion seats s cents on

BILL BARD0N GETS
PEEVED BECAUSE He
COULD NOT GET BACK
Former Bisbee Man Does Not
Know of Passport Law. and
Finds Himself Held Over
Night In Mexico.

Bill Bardon; who was in the city
late Wednesday afternoon, was not i'll
very good humor and his friends
were at loss to understand it, as he
is always of genial nature, but the
cause has been discovered, as Will
be seen from the following article
which appeared in the International
American OF the date of Thursday.
bill Bardon, the prominent citizen
of Rodeo, left Douglas in bad humOr
yesterday He was sure sore through
and through and as he pointed his car
in the direction of Rodeo he Dreathed
imprecations against the immigration
officials of both the United States ant
Mexico. All this was because Bill
crossed the international line into
Mexico on Tuesday evening and was,
detained there over night an dthe
most of yesterday because he failed TO
comply with. or know anything about
the passport requirements of those
who cross to and from Douglas into
Mexico. Bill is native OF Ireland,
lived in Texas for while, in Bisbee
Tor many years and in RodeO since
Arizona wet dry. He was formerly
in the saloon business in Bisbee and
is in the same business in Rocco
where. he serves many of his old Bis
bee and Arizona customers. He was
30 young to know anything about
passports when he left the Emerald
Isle, no one ever heard of a passport
being required to go out OF Texas

was halted at the American custom
house when he attempted to return to
Douglas, after a business visit to
Aqua Prieta, he was completely dumb
founded and the longer he was held
there the madden he got He called
and cussed all the American officials
who could be reached on the tele-
phone, but effecting nothing along that
line he put in the latter part of Tues
day night and the forenoon of Wednes-
day morning calling TO his friends in
Bisbee and Douglas and imploring

those who were appealed 70 for help

After he finally got back to the
soil of his adopted country, Bill rold
years he had quenched the thirst OF
this city when throats were parching;
he had entertained Douglasites in
Rodeo many the time and that he felt
that he had not received the speedy
relief in his Aqua Prieta trouble to
which those services entitled him."

The navy has been limiting recruit

average for all stations. Men in ex-
