Chicago, March i5.--(UP)-Amer.
lean League clubs received their
marching orders today in the form
OF l943 schedule completely over
hauled TO meet the demands OF war
time transportation.
President william Harridge an
nounced the new order travel guide
and said he hoped close pennant
race would draw the browds which
otherwise might stay away, with SO
many stars In the army.
We've tried 10 1T the schedule
into tempo OF the times" Har-
ridge said, land we can count OH II
being successful II we have the BEN
eft OF tight pennant race. Close
competition will offset the departure
OF star players into the military SER
vices"
Harridge reported that the Amer
lean leagues attendance last season
the flrst diamond campaign Of
World War Twas satisfactory.
'"T'he American League drew APP
proximately 100000 fans" he said.
The outstanding changes In the l043
schedule are:
O-Tho International trips In
contrast 10 the four trip plan pre-
viously In vogue.
(O--5cheduling OF double-heaclers
from the first week OF the season on.

Much Less Mileage
Reduction OF the number OF inter-
sectional trips was made TO save
travel. American League clubs last
season travelled 10000 rail- miles
rs against approximately 10000 miles
under tho new program.
Clubs were formerly given an OPP
ton OF arranging double-headers for
Sunday dates by transferring games.
This season the twin bills were
placed into the original schedule and
will be played from the first Sunday
OF the season on.
Tho White Sox lead In doubles
header activity with bargain bills
arranged for each OF the ~ Sunday
they are home. The Philadelphia
Athletics, Washington Senators and
81. Louis Browns will play twin bills
II out Of ~ Sundays, the Detroit
Tigers and Cleveland Indians 10 out

Yankees eight out OF ~.
Five clubs again will play night
ball. The Washington Senators have
II contests nj home under the lights
with Cleveland, Chicago, 81. Louis
and Philadelphia playing II each.
Nocturnal activity usually does not
starte until early June, but the Sen
ators have their first game this sea-
son slated for May II against the
Red SoX.
YankS, He'd SOx Favored
In case OF close l,ennant race the
at home finish figured TO provide
eastern clubs with a decided advan-
tage, The program, for example,
gives tho Yankees and Red Sox 20

Final Score 80 to rs

Despite the fact that the Cadets
have lost two Of their best all
around players, Bill Knlghtly and
Mark Scott they managed to win
an 0 point victory over a very fast
md classy team. This Boys Club
Varsity featured AL Damellio who
was one OF the c!asSiest little play
crs In the city at this time. Damellio
was the player IN Saturday nights
game who really held his team to-
yether. Generalli also starred for
the Varsity, chalking up about 0
points. This team OF Damellia and
OenerRlll, really were the spark
plugs OF the Varsity In Saturdays
TIT.
For the Cadets Kenn Belts was
high man OF the evening, throwing
up 10 points; Ken really gave the
Cadets the edge on the height, by
combining his length with that OF
"Lank" Joe Bannon. Ugo D,Agos-
tho played n very fast all around
game Saturday night, being ut the
right place Mt the right time. He
managed to throw up only 4 points
though putting him In the top
bracket as q speed player. This
Cndct team had some very good
playing material IN Red Vadnais,
Joe Barnon, Bob Reynolds and
Jocko Conlon.
The Cadets came 10 the Boys
club on Saturday night after win
ming decisive Victory over i4eav-
Gnworth last Sunday by q score OF
10 TO 30, expecting 10 defeat the
Varsity by as great q margin. (At
least that Is what some OF their sup
porters limited. This victory decidedly
puts the Cadets at the top OF their
league and tho top OF all teams In
the city. This team Is now made
up mostly Of the Crosby high team,
also Bill Carey, sensational player
for Tech In the past season.
