The playing schedule for the coming season, in which there are only thrée conflicting dates on the two major league ecir- cufts, was adopted. The championship season opens on April 16" and closes in the eastern es October 5 and in the wes ton the following day. The board of directors ratified Pres- ident Tener’s appointments of um- pires as follows: Robert Emslie, W. Henry O’'Day, Charles Rig- ler, W. J. Byron, E. C. Quigley, Peter A. Harrison and Charles B. Moran. The. directors refused to allow the Chicago ciub’s claim of $2,500 paid-as salary to an injured player, Victor Saier, from the date that the Pitts- burgh club claimed him. The player ‘remains with Pittsburgh and Chicago loses the money. A stricter enforce- ment of the coaching rules was rec- ommended so that “goat-getting” tac- tics from the coaching lines or the players’ benches: will eliminated as far, 'as possible in future. . 2 A readjustment of official salaries was confirmed during the regular iéague meéting but just how far this made J.
