HEALY, Iu-gunh Bld'g., Norwich, Ct. . =ik e ad:uatments T Néw York, Aug. 2—At a special meeting of the National league here today it was' decided that no National league championship game should be played after Sept. 2. The club owners Went on record as strongly favoring a world's series to be played immediate- ly after that date. President Dreyfuss of the Pittsburgh club, a member of the National league schedule committee, will leave tonight for Cleveland, where he will confer with the American league officials to- morrow. Mr. Dreyfuss has full power to act for the National leagug in re- gard to any schédule readjustments. The National League baseball sea- scn of 1918 will end not later than Sept. 2. Ilmmediately afierwards, the winning eclub will participate in a world series with the American league flag winners, provided arrangements for such a contest can be made with the rival major leasue. These were the outstanding decis- ions reached at a special meeting of the National league clubs presidents held in this city late today, The con- ference, which had been originally set for tomorrow, was sdvanced twenty- four hourse in order that the senior organization might be in a position to present its plans to the American League magnates who are scheduled to meet in Cleveland Saturday to take action which will conform with Sec- retary of War Baker's order that baseball players must be prepared to cbserve the wark or 1ight regulations after Sept. 1. Barney Dreyfuss, president of the Pittsburgh club and a member of the National League scheduie committee, left immediately after the conference for Cleveland where he will confer with the American league officers in reference to re-arranging the sched- ules so that a world series may be beld, provided the junior association s in favor of the usual seasonai base- ball climax. Dreyfuss was given full power to represent the National league and the latter organization wiil abide by any agreement he may make. The wording of the National League resolutions is such that the pennant seasen may be ended considerably in advance of Sept. 2 in case it is nec- essary to complete the world series by the end of the present month. Reports from American league offi- cials indicate that ths is the desire of the majority of the club owners of that organization in order that there may be no conflict with the ruling of Secretary Baker. If Dreyfuss acquiesces to this ar- rangement the post season champlon- ship series may be staged on or about Aug. 20. This would give at least ten week days in which to play the best four out of seven games necessary to ecide the winner. All the National club owners are in favor of series and as the American ue magnates are understood to similar opinions if¥is said the auestion of suitable dates for the se- ries is the only one to he settled. These in attendance at the meeting here toeday were: Presidents Baker of the Philadelphia club: Hempstead of New York:® Ebhets of Brookiyn; Dreyfuss of Pittsburgh: John K.
