NAY CLOSE AUGUST 70
Big Leagues Are Considering Clos

Series Following.

CHICAGO. July 3o.-closing the ma
tor league schedules about August 20
and staging the world series imme-
diately thereafter Is the plan now ia
vored by President Ban johnson Of
the American League, to comply with
Secretary Bakers work -or-hght order.
President johnson last night sent a
bulletin to the American League club
owners asking their approval of the
plan, which. 1t is understood. also is
under consideration by the National
League.
Closing the season August 20 would
leave eleven days in which to prepare
for and play the worlds series and
still obey Secretary Bakers order to
disband September /. There has been
talk Of continuing to September 1. or
even the day following. which is Labor
day, a legal holiday, but the American
League executive is strongly opposed
to this.
He is in favor of tho world series.
but believes 1t should be staged within
the time limit placed by the Secretary
Of War for the suspension Of the sport.
If the August closing is agreed upon
the western clubs Of the American
League will not start the eastern in
vasion scheduled for August II and
the eastern clubs Of the National
League will not start west. The days
remaining before the oficial shut
down. September 1. probably will be
employed in playing exhibitions and
games with clubs in the same Sec
