"a YEW YORK, January 1.-THE
M American and National Base
VI Ball Leagues, with carefully
L considered disregard for the
traditional way of doing things, have
decided to fit their 1886 schedules
to their teams.
The program agreed on yesterday
at a conference between Ford Frick,
National League president; Harvey
Traband, secretary treasurer. and
William Harridge of Chicago, Amer
lean League president, calls for shorter
and more frequently varied series. in
tersectional play starting two weeks
after the opening and general speed
ing up of the program.
Thus the probable pennant contend
ers will be able to come to grips within
the first month after the campaigns
start April IA. The fourth inter-
Boston to be played July at Braves
field. The closing date Of the 1874
game schedule is September 81.
Probable Contenders.
THE lineup for the season indicates
that the New York Yankees and
Boston Red Sox in the East and the
world champion Detroit Tigers and
the Cleveland Indians in the West
probably will be the American League
pennant contenders, While the New
York Giants, Chicago Cubs and st.
Louis Cardinals again will be the
principal National League title candi-
dates.
Under the old system there would he
comparatively few meetings between
the rivals until the season was well
under way.
The openings will follow the old
order for the most part, but the first
shift of scenes will come earlier than
before, April II, while intersectional
play is scheduled to begin April %
Each club will make four intersectional
trips instead of three as before and
play fewer games each time. The
games per series will be on a 1882
basis instead of the old 4-4-3.
Inaugural Date Set.
THE various opening dates we're
scheduled as follows:
April 14-American: st. Louis at
Chicago, Detroit at Cleveland. New

not depend alone on the capable
Lavelle Oopey) Dean for victory.
Dean is marked man in the public
high school championship series.
Coaches pit their best men against
the lanky Lincoln Parker, hoping that
the all-high sensation of last season
will not have many opportunities to
let fly with unerring pot shots.
But Coach Charley Guyon has an
swered this strategy with quartet of
courtmen, any of whom can step in
and assume high-scoring role. Yes
terday it was Capt Chick Hollidge's
turn and the fleet forward, aided by
accurate passes from his mates, rolled
up Is points in leading Eastern to a
1925 victory over Tech as Western
edged out Roosevelt, 1914, to inaug-
urate the high school series.
Eastern Closes With Rush.
EASTERN showed very little Of its
championship form during the
first half against Rusty Thompson's

ished like Discovery to erase any
doubts as to their true caliber.
Horace Lowe, whose basket ball
efforts are much more successful than
his endeavor to grow a mustache, pro-
vided the TOO fans with a better battle
than they must have anticipated.
Substituting for Jimmy Vermillion late
in the first half, the elongated Lowe
Immediately tipped in two baskets to
start rally which ended with Eastern
holding a scant 1914 half-time lead.
Hollidge came back in the third
quarter to toss two-pointers from every
angle of the floor, vaulting Eastern
into a 1918 lead.
Those who nursed any hallucina-
tions about Deans guarding had their
doubts knocked sky high as Dopey held
the spearhead of the Tech attack, Ver-
million, scoreless throughout the game.

May Send Him TO u. ,. 'front.'.
THAT'S the problem confronting the
leaders of the Italian Army. Right
now they have Pvt. Camera under
their thumbs, warming up in the bull
pen. They can send him to Ethiopia
or to America, both fronts being in
need of reinforcement. The army
leaders have full control of the situa-
ton, because Primo, being under IS
years of age, is the legal pawn of
Italy's compulsory training system.
Your correspondent is following this
interesting military crisis through the
agency of Signor Luigi Soresi. Car
nera's manager and New York repre-
sentative. Signor Soresi is in close
touch with the big triple-threat man.
He believes now that Primo
will be dispatched to the Ameri-
can, or western, front, rather
than to the Ethiopian.
ct expect him back here at the end
of this month" said Soresi. He Is

Ethiopia"
This is cheerful news compared with
the last bulletin from Italy. In the
last bulletin Pvt. Camera informed
his manager with groan (the cable
rate for groans was never lower) that
he was being trimmed and dressed for
so days service in Ethiopia with a
special mountain artillery unit OF
which he has the fortune, or misfor-
tune, depending on your point Of view,
to be a member.
"Italy needs me-" was the gist of
Primo's message. "Addio, my friend.
perhaps forever"
But 1t develops that Italy has
not made up her mind and still
Is debating the question.
No doubt Primo would be a handy
man in the mountain artillery. Dis
guised as a fertile foothill, with goats

could edge nearer and nearer to the
