Majors Ready
For 1913 Play
Regulor l54-Gome
Schedule Okoyed

GHl1A1O-ha1or League base
ball clubs yesterday agreed 10 hold
their spring training close 10 home
and adopted a 154-game schedule
for the 1913 season.
The Majors have played a 154-
game schedule annually since
1920.
The season will open Wednes-
day. April 81. and close Sunday.
Oct. Under the original sched-
ule drafted at the December meet
ings of the Major Leagues, the
season was To have opened April
Is and closed Sept. 26.
In making the announcement
relative to spring training. Base
ball Commissioner Kenesaw NJ.
Lands said:
Club agreed to train either in
their home city or as close there
to as possible and within the ter
ritory north of the Ohio and Pc
tomac rivers and east of the Mss
issippi, except in the case of the
st. Louis clubs which may condi-
ton in Missouri"
THREE TRIPS
The schedule calls for three
EastWest interseetional trips as
compared with four last season.
Wen do our utmost to cooper
ate during the season to reduce
man-mileage," Lands said. That
involves practical things that will
have TO be worked out as the sea
son progresses. We agreed TO use
the type of transportation equip
ment that is least congested."
No formal action was taken
on the proposal TO reduce the
travelling squad from 25 to
30 players. However, lands
said clubs would be asked to
take voluntary measures In
keeping with this proposal.
Phelps D. Sample. a representa-
tive of the Office of Defense Trans
portation at Washington, was
present here TO communicate the
action taken at the meeting TO
ODT Director Joseph B. Eastman.
The meeting failed to produce
the drastic curtailment that had
been forecast after Lands trip
week ago to Washington where
he conferred with Eastman.
SHORT SESSION
Lands reached an agreement
with Eastman a week ago on the
type of playing schedule for 1913
and the spring training conditions,
but the nature of this accord had
remained secret until today's
meeting adjourned.
The meeting, which had
been expected to be brief,
lasted two hours and 40 min
utes and 1t was believed that
the club representatives de-
bated extensively some of the
provisions, including the Oct.
3 closing date for the sea-
son.
It was reported that some of
the club owners had preferred the
Sept. 26 closing date, agreed upon
previously. in order that the World
Series might have been held at
an earlier date.
Opening of the meeting was de-
layed two hours by failure of
Eastern representatives to arrive
because of late trains. All the
big league teams, except the
Washington Senators, were repre-
sented by one or two spokesman.
Clark Griffith, Senators owner,
was unable to come because of q
stockholders meeting.
