SLIGHT CHANGE FOR
 SHORTER SCHEDULE
Favor of TAO Gafaes Schedule For Ma jor League is Fast Disappearing.

Sentiment in favor of a 140 game major league schedule in 1918 is dis appearing. The clubs may take the field with a reduced player limit, but from present indications the big leagues will retain their 154 game schedules.
 President Tener of the National league had a piece of good news for National league players recently when he said it had been decided to pay the players on six months basis as has been the custom heretofore. Under the proposed season, running from May l to Sept Is, the players would have been paid for only five months.
 Tener, in commenting on this fact, let it be inferred that if the players were paid for six months work that amount of work would be exacted from them.
 In Chicago yesterday Charley Com iskey of the White Sox, the leading ex- ponent of the 154 game season in the American league made the radical Sug- gestion that it may be necessary to pool both gate receipts and players in the American league next season in order to avoid shortening the schedule or reducing salaries to a five months basis
 Comiskey admits that the suggestion is radical and he does not necessarily favor such course but says he would be willing to go to great lengths to en- able the major leagues to retain their high standard during the duration of the war.
 Tn discussing the inroads which the new draft may make into the big league ranks next season, Comfskey has the following to say
 Pooling of players may become inn perative to preserve anything like equality in playing strength. If the forthcoming drafts for the national ar my take half a dozen regulars away from others and none at all from some clubs, the result would be a runaway pennant race, which would rob the sport of all public interest early in the season.
 Coming from the owner of the world S champion ball team and the second best money maker in baseball, a sug- gestion to pool recenpts and players is up to the usual standard of Comiskey sportSnanship- However, it is unlike ly that such an extreme step need to be taken at least in 1918.
 There is no doubt that the big leagues will be hit harder by the draft than appeared the case at the end of last season. The new claSsif1cations will largely bring to the fore numerous players who held high numbers in the draft lottery. However, the great per- centage of major league players are married, and will claim exemption be- cause of dependent wives or families.

 STOCK MARKET

New York, April 27-Opening-A firm undertone prevailed at the be- ginning of trading today, important stocks showing a disposition to rally from yesterdays late selling move ment Metals, equipments and ship- pings led the advance, the latter be- ing feverish because of the abandon
 mert of the British blacklist. Gen. trar Leather, Virginia Carolina Chem ical and the western gas shares rose appreciably with Reading and Union Pacific,: but railroads in general were irregular and inactive. Many ini- tian gains were lost in the first half hour
 Noon-Speculative conditions ruled during the dull first hour, the cratic course of prominent industrials being typical of the general list. United States Steel, which opened unchanged at 116 1-6, soon rose a substantial fraction, only to fall back almost a point, from which it rallied, relapsing again later. Other steels were vari- ably under yesterdays final prices while United Fruit, Ohio Gas, Indus triel Ilcohol and Maxwell Motors were one to two points lower. Trad ing became more active in the second hour on a fresh spurt in Steel, which advanced to 117 IA with more mod crate gains in metals and railroads Bonds were irregular.
