Railroads Halt
Schedules Of
Ball Leagues

PITTSBURGH. Jan. 2A.-The Joint
schedule committee Of the two major
leagues Messrs. Dreyfuss, johnson
and Heydler-are finding a great deal
more difficulty in arranging dates for
the coming season than is usual They
we're unable to wind up their work to-
day.
The meeting adjourned tonight, with
about three-fourths of the work done.
In fact, the schedule makers barely
reached the end of August in their date
figuring, which also means that the
majority of the holiday dates. have been
agreed on, Labor Day being the only
one to come in the deliberations to-
morrow morning.
Ban Johnson and his secretary, Will
lam Harridge, had reservations on the
o'clock train tonight for Chicago, and
were forced to cancel them. but Mr..
johnson said tonight that he was con-
tident of getting through the work Fri
day. Secretary John Hcydler was plain
ly disappointed at not finishing up to-
day.
Railroad problems have entered
largely into the discussions, and the
committee is going little slower for
the reason that they want to be forti-
fed for letting down Of the railroad
efficiency of former seasons. Garry
Hermann, chairman Of the National
Commission, while not member Of
the schedule committee, stayed over to-
day. and will likely be a member of the
party until the work is completed.

Boxing News and Notes
BY FRED HAWTHORNE

While we have found much to admire
IN Assemblyman Martin McCue's new
boxing bill, it is lacking in one vital
detail, and we are moved to draw Mr..
McCue's attention to the oversight, on
behalf Of a downtrodden, overworked,
devoted, heroic, abused and lowlv
gathering of humanity-the men who
are supposed to sit next to the ring
side at the bouts and write the stories
for the edifcation Of the "oldcst sub

We wrote it "supposed," for these
unfortunates rarely get within hailing
distance of the ring, the choice seats
being reserved for the BARRIERS, boot

loved our fellow man and liked to see
him get along, but that was before we
earned our daily coal by writing of
how Kid Awful walloped Battling Bee

Form Combine
Against De Orc

While the situation as to the various
contentious made by August kieck-
hefer. former three cushion billiard
champion. and Alfredo De Orc, present
holder of that title, remains the same,
the meeting arranged between the two
men at the Offices of the Brunswick
Bake -Collender Company in this city

that professional players have formed
combination against De Orc for the
purpose Of curtaiing his future hold on
the title
Kieckhefer had announced the dav

threc-cushlon title, the emblem and the

forty days.

the brunswick company, sitting as the
court of last resort on Wednesday.
ruled that kieckhefer could not take
the title by forfeit. The meeting YES
terday was for the purpose OF listening
to further evidence from both sides.
and at the end OF the session Mr.. Miller
announced a decision would be rem
uereu to-day.
De Orc, who only arrived from Ha
vana on Wednesday night, claimed that
the Brunswick people had cabled him
at Havana that the match with Kieck-
hefer had been postponed to January
30, 81 and February /. because it had
been impossible to secure a suitable

day the time limit expires fail TO on
