MAY B BIG ROW OVER THE BOOKINGS Journal Special Service. New York, Jan. 19.Contrary to expectations Ban Johnson,, president of the American league, and President Harry Pulliam of the National did net meet yesterday to compare their playing schedules for the coming season In order to avoid conflicting dates wherever possible. Robert McRoy^ Johnson's secretary, did not arrive in town until late with Johnson's sched ules, and the meeting was postponed until today. The two presidents will discuss whether the giants or the Highlanders will have the opening date in this city. According to the agreement between the two leagues, the highlanders are entitled to the date, the giants having opened last season. Since the National league has named April 12 as its opening day, and Johnson for the Ameri cans has selected April 17, it has been asserted in National league circles that Pulliam will schedule the giants to open here on April 12. Under any circumstances the highlanders will open at American League park with the cham pion Athletics April 17. Johnson announced yes terday that he had appointed the rules commit tee of the American league. It comprises Man agers Clark Griffiths of the highlanders, Connie Hack of the Athletics and President Thomas Noyes of Washington. Next month they will meet the National league rules committee, Man ager Hanlon of Cincinnati, President Dreyfus of Pittsburg and President Murphy of Chicago, to talk, over possible changes in the playing rules. Johnson announced that the American league's schedule meeting will be held in this city be tween Feb. 10 and 15. STUDENTS TUBNED DOWN Badger Faculty Stood by the Instruc tions to Representative. Journal Speoial Service. Madison, Wis., Jan. 49.The faculty of the Wisconsin university yesterday turned down a request from the student body that the Instruc tions of Professor F. J. Turner, representative to the football conference in Chicago, be recalled. The instructions are that Professor Turner urge the suspension of intercollegiate football for two years. The student committee which presented the pe tion was cordially received, courteously heard and heartily thanked for its interests in ath letics, but was firmly informed that the faculty would not alter its attitude toward the great game. President Van Hise said that he realized that the question was one that vitally affected the university, but that he believed that the action of the faculty should stand, as It had been taken after thoro discussion and consideration by ma ture men who ought to know 'what was best for the Interests of the university. Professor Turner left for Chicago yesterday afternoon. Before departing he said that he would endeavor to carry out the instructions of the faculty to the best of his ability. He would simply urge the suspension of football for two years in the hope that during that period such reforms would be adopted as would free the sport of Its present objectionable features. MICHIGAN IN THE DARK Professor Pattengill May Advocate a Graduate Coaching System. Journal Special Service. Ann Arbor, Mich., Jan. 19.Professor A. H. Pattengill, chairman of the university board of athletic control, was selected yesterday by President Angeil to represent Mich igan at the football conference. The senior council, the student governing body, recommended the appointment of Professor M. E. Cooley, but the students are well satisfied with the selection of Professor Pattengill. President Angeil refused to give out a word in regard to Michigan's coming stand at thee confer ence altho he admitted that Professor Pat tengill and he have come to an understanding in regard to what shall be forthcoming from Michi gan's representative. Manager Baird and Train er Fltzpatrlck maintain the same silence eo rumor Is all the dope available at this time' It is persistently rumored that Professor Pat tengill will recommend the abolishment of the professional coach system and a return to the original graduate method. This would be bit terly opposed by Michigan students, as Yost is the idol of the campus. He has a long-term contract with the athletic association and un doubtedly could collect his salary for the full time if he cared to press the matter. It has been fully understood by those on the inside that the faculty has never looked with much pleasure on the practice of giving' a pro fessional football coach a larger salary than is paid to anyone else connected with the institu tion, and the rumor In regard to Professor Pat tengfll probable stand seems likely to have a substantial foundation.

Barton, the representative of the Illinois univer sity at the conference on football In Chicago goes hampered by few instructions from the unll versity senate which selected him. He will advocate reduced rates of admission for students at athletic contests, and a comprehensive one year residence rule. Both these measures have been previously ad vocated by Professor Barton, who has long been the Illinois representative on and is the secre tary of the conference athletic board.

The fight-mad dened spectators yelled with excitement. Ref eree Hastings counted tensslowly and .still Guck lay- motionless. The seconds picked up the boy and carried him to a corner of Jhe room.

Mackenzie, aged 24, of 146 Eighty-ninth Street, dies as the result of injuries received while playing football for the second team last fall, this death will be due to the brutality of a football player and will be laid directly at the door of the Ohio State university, football team. This to the statement of the boy's mother. Young Mackenzie is now lying at Lakeside hospital in a stupor and five physicians are unable, to make a correct diagnosis of his case. The young man, a freshman in Case. and presi dent of his class, was hurt in a terrific gamet for the championship of Ohio with OhS BUMP FOE VARSITY Faculty Team Administered Trouncing to.

WANTS NEW SPIRIT Chicago Man Thinks Rule Tinkering Will Do Little Good. Journal Special Servioe, Chicago, Jon. 19.Professor Albion W. Small of the University of Chicago, who has an Interna tional reputation as a sociologist and who has made a close study of football, believes that-re forms in the code of rules will not eliminate the elements of brutality or unnecessary rough ness. He holds that a new spirit must be de veloped amqpg the universities and points to this as the only cure for the evils in the college game. "No legislation can be brought forth that will do away with the roughness or brutality of the game," he declared in an Interview today. "It is absolutely impossible to bring about, the slightest change in the game by making any new set of rules, adding new suggestions or changing any now in vogue. "If football is to be reformed, the only wny to do Is to change the spirit of the universities and the men who officiate in the games. To pre vent the attending evils I would say, first, se cure absolutely pure and honest-minded officials and impress upon them the importance of their duties. Then go in and change the spirit of the universities. We cannot hesitate to- believe that there are many evils in Intercollegiate sport at the present moment.. The spirit of rivalry seems to be too keenone might say, too commercialized. Just what Is the propery remedy for these evils is hard to say, but I think if all Intercollegiate sports were abandoned and the games kept strictly within" the confines of each university for a certain period of years the atmosphere would be purged and Intercollegiate sports might be revived again. "I do not believe football will be abolished at the meeting of the conference college representa tives. I do not believe it will be the senti ment of the University of Chicago to drop tho game." iat The Lund'Lands and Apex were "He'Winners in the Indoor baseball double-header'at Monitor hall last night.

Its first meeting was billed for last Friday, but It was postponed until today, owing to the death of President Harper. What policy the University of Chicago rep resentatives at the conference will advocate was a matter. of conjecture among University of Chicago" stqdents yesterday.

Acting President Judson declared today that the attitude of the officials of tfi'e university would not be known after the session of the conference. LEWIS TELLS JUST HOW IT HAPPENED Journal Speoial Service, New York, Jan. 19.In a letter received by 8 local friend of Willie Lewis, New York boxer, the poor showing made by Lewis in his twenty five-round draw at Colma last Friday is fully ex plained.

Lewis went Into the ring with a painfully sore foot, on which be could hardly hear any weight. Here is a part of" the letter telling^of his Injury: "I have been laid up for the past two days with a very' sore foot and could not on the road or work Jn .the gymnasium with it, aji'lt pains me even when I stand on It. It Is all red and festered and I fear that blood poisoning has set in. I don't know how I will step around with It when 1- fight. If I was near home I would call .the .fight off, but.I, guess.
