|CRIFF FAv0RS
LONG SCHEDULE
Old Fox Confident League
Will Increase Games
From l40 to l54.

Manager Clarke Griffith. of the
Nationals, says he Is firmly OF the
opinion that when the schedule for
1920 is adopted 1t will be for
154 instead of 140 games. as was
the rule the past season.
/ believe the fans want 1t. i know
1 would like to see 1t back again.
My reasons for going back to the
old rule is this: 1t means from
$4,000 to $4,000 difference in the
treasury of each club in the two
leagues.
1t does not cost us very much to
pay the extra expense for the other
two weeks. You see even IL we are
on the road we have four games In
stead of three to play, so that all
the extra money spent is for board.
That amounts to about 800 per day.
We have no extra railroad fare lv
pay, so that figuring that we are on
the road we will have about four
or not over five days of extra board.
This we will grant amounts to say
$500. In the way OF salaries II will
not cost us a penny for we have to
pay the same amount for playing 140
games that we would have had to do
IL we had played the longer sched-
ule.
If the 154 games are re-introduced
1t will mean one and possibly two
Sundays and that means all profit to
every club. Taking $4,000 to $1,000
from the profit side of the ledger
means that amount of money toward
helping to purchase a player that
may be the means of team winning
a pennant. The games that will be
added will amount to a week earlier
in the opening of the season and
the other week will be tackled on the
close of the season. Fans are al
ways anxious to see the opening of
the season. and IL we had only one
Sunday game to play it would mean
a lot of money to every one connect
ed with the game.
One could not blame the schedule
makers last season for making the
season 140 instead of the old num-
ber. for you know we were not even
sure of even opening the season.
Then we were all at a loss as to
what effect the war was going to
have-you can bet that IL we knew
then what we know now that the
smaller number of games would
never have been accepted.
