National League Delays Schedule Amid Closing Date Clash
New York December 9 The National League failed to agree on a tentative schedule that would close the season by October 3, creating a fresh issue for the joint meeting with the American League tomorrow.

The league also examined a new ball with rubber coating in two sections, noting it did not affect home runs. A memorial service honored 13 baseball figures including Brooklyn leaders Ebbets and McKeever and Christy Mathewson.
