The dispute this time centers over a plan to shorten the league sched- ule. Some of the owners belleve the present schedule of 154 games is too long and that the league should both open later and close earlier than' it Lias the past few seasens. President Weissmann of Waterbury, | Owner Powell of Worcestgr and Presi- | dent Haylon of Pittsfield are said to | favor this shorter schedule scheme. Owner J. H.
