Those In charge of thie subscription lists will be starting in on their work in a short time. Owing to the fact. that he holds the office of president of the Central Ontario, Baseball League, Mr. Wil- liam Kennedy deemed {it his duly to resign as treasurer of the Kingston team and his resignation from that office was accepted last night at the meeting. Mr. Stanley Hall was ap- pointed treasurer of the club. A tentative schedule, which had been received from the secretary of the League for consideration, was brought before the executive meeting but after considering it for some time, it was decided to refer it to two members of the executive to make whatever changes deemed re- quired by the meeting. The sche- | dule as drawn showed long waits be- tween games for Kingston at home in one or two cases and there were other - points that the executive thought might be straightened out. The two members to whom the sche- dule was referred will make note of what changes Kingston wants and will forward the schedule to the League secretary with the revisions requested by the Kingston Club. In connection with proposed ex- hibition games, Bert Booth was ap- pointed to make arrangements for bringing into séveral ontside teams for exhibition games with the King- ston Club during the intervals of the schedule of the Central Ontarie Lea- gue, Mr. . Booth will make every effort to secure the best teams to come here and it is expected that some fast baseball clubs will be seen in action on the local field. A meeting of the members of the executive and the players is to be held next Monday night in the Board of Trade rooms for the presentation of medals, cup and League pefinant which the Kingston team won last year. It had been previously stated that the umpires in the home cities would name their own assistants to work with them during the season. This information was not quite 'correct. The home club is to name the other three officials to act with the already appointed umpire for each city, The Kingston club has not yet named the other three umpires besides George Sullivan but will do so at the next meeting. : CARLARIS GETS HIS GARLAND IN LONG RACE Montieal Marathoner to Com- pete for Boston Honors. | { Popular Montreal marathoner who'll compete in the famous Bos- ton A.A. race to be held shortly.

Duluth, Minn., April 14.--Colonel John Hammond, associate of Tex Rickard in promoting a second New York team for the national Profes- sional Hockey League, disregarded warnings of a hockey war with the Western Professional Hockey Lea- gue here to-day when he started dickering for the services of a group of players in the Centra), Amateur Hockey Association. Hammond, with Conny Smythe of Toronto University fame, attended the final game of the championship series between Minneapolis and Du- luth. They held numerous confer- ences with players of bof" teams, including Billy Boyd. "ohuanie Me- Kinnon, Mickey McGuire and Ching Johnson of the Millers and Herble Lewis and Lee Lafrance of the Hor- nets. Coach Lloyd Turner, coach of the Millers and a part owner of the Cal- gary team, in the western loop, warned Hammond against dickering with the players, as under the agree- ment between the two professional loops the Western circuit has the option on all players west of a de- markation line between Port Arthur and Chicago. Hammond's contention was that the team being organized for New York is not bound by the agreement as a franchise had not been grant- ed. He intimated that if the appli- cation for franchise was denied, hoc- Key interests of New York and other eastern United States cities would pull out of the National circuit and form an independent league com- posed of teams in the States alone.
