Sf Tuesday. April II. as the opening
date for the 1923 pennant race Of the
National League. was the principal
feature Of the annual meeting Of the
senior baseball organization today. In
making the announcement after the
first Of two-day session, President
John A. Hedyler, stated that the Ma
tional League magnates were I'M
aninously in favor of opening the
the case in recent years.
Weather conditions have proved
more favorable for baseball early in
October than the fore part of April
during recent seasons, according to
Reydler and it was thought desirable
to change the dates to conform.
Playing a schedule of 154 games and
allowing for the usual number Of
open dates the league executive ex-
pressed the opinion that when the
schedule was completed 1t would
show the world series on or about
Tuesday. October 9. he said. approx
mately one week later than the in
itial game in the 1922 series.
Asked if this later opening would
also be observed by the American
League, Heydler said that he knew
Of no reason why there should be a
difference of opinion, on the matter.
He stated that at conference with
President B. 3. Johnson, of the
American League. last August, April
II was fixed upon as the date and
that the joint schedule committee
Of the two major leagues so under
stood the situation. Any attempt to
Shift to an earlier date would work
hardship to the National League
Clubs. many of which, he said, had
already completed their spring train
ing plans, including exhibition games
as late as April Is or IS.
The greater part of the session
was devoted to routine business in

WINS the MATCH
:: Regular practice has been going on
for the past two weeks under the
jurisdiction of DR.. Marquardt. Much
progress has been made during the
short practice session due largely to
the new material that has come to

terest that has been taken as COM
| pared with last year.
The elimination trials between the
eight candidates took place last
Tuesday evening in Hedman hall, the
| two men, Chafetz and Smith being
the highest point winners.
This is the first out of State in

Smith played together last year,
defeating the Waterville Chess Club
and the Ticonic Chess Club of Win
slow and should be an even stronger
combination this year.
One of the biggest losses to the
team was Herbert A. Perkins of
Waltham. Mass. through graduation.
Besides being one of the best play
| ers, he was a regular member of the
D. U. basketball team and a student
| of such high rank as to get the covet-
ed Phi Beta Kappa key. 1t is hoped
| that among the new recruits there is
one who may fill his shoes.
This will be the last game until
after the Christmas vacation and
should be great practice and eX-
perience for the team.
