son, which will open Wednesday
April IA, subject to the approval oil
the American league which will
meet here tomorrow The train
1 ing season was extended from four
to six weeks prior to the opening OF
the playing season.
Nine Games Favored.
Mr.. Heydler unofficially stated
that the frightening of the world
series to nine games and the new
rules for the division of the re-
ceipts seemed to find favor among
the club owners.
President Heydler presented his
annual report on league affairs dur
ing the past year, part of which read
as follows:
Z "On the debit side of our affairs
we can place the ruling of Judge
Stafford in the Baltimore suit, that
professional base ball is commerce
and that the system of operating
organized base ball is a monopoly
or an attempt at monopoly and
therefore in violation of the Sher-
man law.
This finding has been appealed
from to the higher court, which
hearing however may not be reached
until the spring or summer of 1920
We are hopeful that in the final
analysis the national sport will not
be, classed as a commodity or as a
combination in restraint of trade.
Break Viewed Unfavorably.
The breaking away of the minors
from the national agreement may
likewise be viewed unfavorably, for
although the majors have not suf-
fered by this breach, yet chaotic con-
ditions are bound to ensue unless
