St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 24.—President Ban Josnson of the American League announced here today that the 1918 schedule would be cut from 154 to 149 games. He said the season would be- gin_about April 27 or May 1, and end the middie of September. ~“I have always thought that 154 games were too many,” sald Mr. Johneon. “Each year I have contend- ed that 140 games was the ideal sced- ule, but as the sentiment among the club owners did not seem 'to favor my idea, I never pressed the point. The shortening next season is in no wise a war move, although I think the war provides.a very good reason for inaugurating the plan. “The details will be worked out at the annual meeting in Chicago. I.do not think the shortening of the sched- ule will entall a reducticn of the play- er limit. “The new schedule will enable the teams to get a later start to training camps and this also will be a big fac- tor, as it fiequently has been too cold in the south to do much training when the teams arrived in February.” August Hermann, chairman of the national commission, and president of the Cincinnati Nationals, in a letter to a St. Louis newspaper, said he favor- ed a 140 game schedule. Pres,lflendt ifflhnsox;{ denied that he had_signe: ller Huggins, manager of the St. Louis Nationals, to manage an American League team next year. New Haven, Conn., Oct, 24—At the annual meeting of the Eastern League Baseball association held here today officers were elected, the -pennant for the season formally awarded to New Haven and an amendment allowing the election of officers for more than a year adopted. The quedtion of putting teams in the ‘field next year was set- tled affirmatively and a schedule com- mittee named. Danlel O'Neil of Hartford was elect- ed president and secretary for a three- year term. Thcmas O'Brien of Hart- ford was elected treasurer. ‘Directors were chosen as follows: Morton F. Plant, New London; James T. Collins, New Haven: C. T, Lane, Bri rt; James T. Clarkin, Hartford; Willlam E. Carey, Springfleld; Edward 8. Smith, Worcester; M. J. Garrity. Port- land, and R. W. Emmons, 2d, of Law- rence. ) The echedule committes is M. J. McMahon of Wcrcester and M. J. Gar. rity of Portland, who will have the as. sistance of Treasurer O'Brien. They will report in December. A check for $100 was presented to Manager Collins to buy a pennant for his park.

Chicago, Oct. 24—Robert Fitzsim- mons, who died at a hospital here last Monday after a week’s iliness of lobar pneumonia, was buried today at Graceland cemetery. Funeral services for the former champion heavyweight pugilist were held in the Moody taber- racle, conducted by Rev. Paul Rader, himself an athlete in his college days on_the Pacific coast. More than three thousand persons from all walks of life attended the per- vices and filed by the bier at the clos of the services. A large proportion of those in attendance on the services made up the cortege which followed the flower-laden casket to Graceland ceme- tery. “This man fought many battles,’ Mr. Rader said, “and. tasted the sweets of victory more often than he did the ROWLAND TURNED DOWN WRITER’S CHANCES Would Not Write Up World’s Seri for Papers.
