WORLD S SERIES DOUBTFUL

National’s Long Season May Block the Post Season Games. •New York, Dec. 21.—Persons familiar with the inside machinery of baseball think that unless the two major leagues change their plans the public will be deprived of the post season series for the world’s championship. The National league has voted to play a schedule of 168 games, the season opening on or about April 14 and ending on or about Oct. 15. The American league has decided upon 154 games, opening on or about April 14 and closing on or about Oct. 6. It is believed that the team winning the American league pennant would decline to take part in a world’s series after remaining idle six or seven days while the National league champions were finishing their schedule.
