A schedule of games for next season, with opening and closing dates, was accepted. The transfer of the majority stock In the Sacramento Club to Harry S. Wolverton and Lloyd Jacobs waa unanimously approved. The awarding of seven games a week to Sacramento Instead of six; the formal resignation of Frank X. Ish as league director to represent the San Francisco club and the election of J. Cal Ewing to take his place: the thor ough discussion of the liability act and Its effect on baseball in California, and placing the ban on post-season games was accomplished. Then the magnates retired to a downtown cafe to be the guests of the Sacramento club at a ban quet. Praaaat Awirl F.ada Seaaloa. It was a busy afternoon and Presl dent Baum was pleased at the progress made in the usual routine business. All that remains now Is for a session Sat urday at which time the pennant will be voted to Portland and then the meet ing will be over. The adoption of the schedule as pre sented by John P. Cook was the big business of the day. It calls for the customary 30 weeks of play with each club meeting the other six times, three at home and three on the road. The opening date was placed on March 31, one day earlier than last year, and the season will close accordingly, on Oc tober 25. Venice will be the visiting team at San Francisco March 31. Port land opens at Sacramento for the first time since the two clubs have been In the circuit, and Oakland will be the guests at Los Angeles. The holiday dates were duly agreed on and all the magnates expressed themselves as pleased with the schedule of games as has been arranged. The granting of seven games to Sac ramento Instead of six as has been the order of affairs, came through the re quest of Harry Wolverton. Lloyd Jacobs and Charley Graham, of the Capital City. They were on hand to argue that a Sunday morning game would be a big attraction in Sacramento. A couple of tryouts were made last season and they drew big. In the warm weather Sacramento owners declare, the morning games will be far more attractive than the after noon sessions and the directors con cluded that it would be good policy to give the scheme a trial. So Portland will be the only city In the circuit which will be confined to six games a week. . Harry S. Wolverton In the new capac ity of owner, and Lloyd Jacobs, of San Francisco, who is taking his first fling in the game, addressed tne gathering and made known that they had pui chased Jack Atkln's stock, which gives them control of the Sacramento club. The directors unanimously'approved of the transaction. Post-Seaaon Games Barred. The controversy that was caused last Fall by the fight of the Venice and Los Angelea players to go through with their post-season series was set tled for all time, when the directors passed a motion unanimously prohib iting the exhibitions The motion reads as follows: "That no post-season games be tween clubs of the league or clubs of players of the league be played after the close of the season unless played with the permission of and under league jurisdiction." So there is no more soft money for the boys when the serious race for the pennant is over. This action Is taken to guard against htppodromlng the National pastime. The liability act In all Its forms was discussed at length. Frank W. Lea vltt, of Oakland, explained that the new state law might interfere with a baseball contract but the directors took no action and decided to treat with the players as they have done In the past. Ewlsg Saeeeeda lab. The formal resignation of Frank X. Ish. president of the San Francisco Club, as a league director waa not startling. J. Cal Ewing, vice-president of the club, succeeds him and Ish will continue In baseball. It was simply a move to let Ewing handle the in terests of the Ean Francisco Club In the league meetings. The annual report of A. T. Baum, president-secretary-treasurer, was read and ordered filed. Baum also reported fully of tha minors' league meeting at Columbus, dealing at length on the new legislation that win affect Class A A clubs. When the business was all over Harry Wolverton and Uoyd Jacobs insisted that the magnates be guests of the Sacramento Club at an Informal banquet. "Here we are Just branch ing out as magnates In the Coast League." he explained, "and we want to show you that we can do up affairs In their proper style." Manager Del Howard and alike Lynch, manager of the Spokane Club, were. In conference during the after noon and it is possible that the Seals will turn over a. player to the North western League before the season opens. McFarland Outpoints Trendall. ' ST. LOUIS, Mo.

McFarland was the aggressor throughout. - QUARTETTE OF PARTICIBANTS BY BEAVER S)Z&j BIG ILL IS TONIGHT Interest Aroused in Williams McNeil Bout. BOTH BOYS WELL BACKED Each Boxer Said to Be in First-Class Condition and Knowlton-Cron-quiet Se?nlon Brings Coast Leaders Together. It has been a long time since an amateur match has started so much talk as the go between Al McNeil, of tho Beaver Athleilc Club and Walter Williams, the clever 115-pounders. who meet tonight at the Armory in the Beaver Club's first smoker. There are no odds, but both boys have plenty of backers at even money. Williams, until this Fall, waa the star of the Northwest in his weight. He made a bad start of the Winter's festivities and lost the Coast cham pionship match to Paul Pederson. of Vancouver, at the Multnomah Club's meet last month. Williams was In bad shape when he fought in San Francisco and Tommy Tracy, Multnomah'a instructor, has not the slightest doubt but that Walter will redeem himself in the mix to night. When the boys met in the prelim inaries last month Walter received the decision over McNeil. This was about the only one which caused a stir among the fans. Williams is in fine fettle and Mc Neil is surprising everybody by work ing enough to be down to weight. Yes terday he was one pound under 115. He has been working hard ever since the match was first talked and neither will have an alibi to offer. Knowlton and Cronqulst will meet at 138 pounds. This mix brings two Coast champions together. Knowlton won the 13s-pound title in tne recent championships and Cronqulst cleared up the 143-pound class lor himself. Both boys are In trim, so tba second act of the all-star production prom ises to be as interesting as the first. The programme . will begin at 1:30 and is: 115 pounds McNeil."

FEDERALSfGNiNG DENIED PLAYERS' FRATERNITY HEAD SAYS COATRACTS NOT MADE. Form of Agreement Must Be Approved Before Major I.easmo Player Take Jump, Declares Falls. XEW TORK. Dec 4. David L. Fultx. president of the Baseball Play ers Fraternity. Issued a statement to night In which he denied a report that a number of major-league ball players, members of the fraternity, had signed contracts to play with various clubs In the Federal League in 1914. His statement on the subject follows: "I do not believe the report that a number of the players In organised ball have been signed with the Federal League for the reason that 35 per cent of the players in the four larger leagues have stated to me personally that they would not sign with anyone until contracts satisfactory to the fra ternity were procured. As the ad visory board has not yet passed on the Federal V League contract and as no agreement has yet been reached with organized ball, any player who signs a contract with either faction at the present time will be considered to have committed an act ot hostility to the fraternity, which may cause ex pulsion. "We understand that the Federal League contract, . which will be sub mitted to us within the next week, will comply with all our demands. It so. the fraternity will place no ob stacles In the way of the players sign ing. "A few players may have signed al ready and a number, more may have agreed to do so when the contract is approved, but there isn't the slightest doubt In the mind of any member of the advisory board that the players with few exceptions will remain abso lutely loyal to the fraternity and will follow out the plan agreed to several months ago."
