Trouble with International
There we're certain rancors expYes sed
more or less promiscuously The
isague itself had an argument which
vii be treated later Rancor broke
out in sll its horny handed objections
on the proposition Of permitting the
Newark club OF the international
League using the Federal League park
II Harrison. n. j. This paYk. ever
since the settlement; between the Fed
srs League and organized baseball,
las been in THE keeping of Jim Price.
The Newark International League club
used it last year TO advantage.
The major leagues this year refuse
70 renew The lease. The buck has been
psssed between the American and
National. Brt the cat popped out OF
ne bag Yesterday afternoon. The Ma
.ons League Went on record as op-
posed to renting 10 Newark unless this
club would assume all organized base
halls obligations for the remaining
pericd Of four years.
When the Federal League promoters
sere bought of Harry r. Sinclair, the
muti-millionairc oil magnaie. was ner-
mit'ed 70 drive q close bargain for the
Harrison venture. The big league
guaranteed him the right to sell most
q tie outlaw stars OF worth. as we'll
as & long-term rental for the Harrison
grounds. Now the big leagues would
saddle the burden Of this particular
liability OF the International League.
But the international League has
troubles Of Its own. Chief OF these Is
he 1922 schedule. John Conway
Fooles lsds, H. the interest Of econ

Mi1-up in Int" Schedule
Well Jack Dunn and a few moro. Of
us henchnlcn who lead this Jnterna~
Nnai League by the nose, worked ur-
midnight Monday on the schedule.

sssr work possible. Submitted to
aelr confreres it was discovered that
1ere were half dozen SATURDAYS
sundays and holidays missing. The
sang had entirely overlooked the finest
lanadlan holidays extant.
Another busy session and q draft
sas submitted for approval. The Cana
aian holidays and the weekend dates
aad mean time become desired insti-
Ntons. Then Walter Hapgood. the
IerberuS of Rochester. discovered that
