COASTERS TO MAKE UP SCHEDULE TODAY Special to The Tribune. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 2. The "mag-nuts" "mag-nuts" of the Const league will foregather at the St. Francis hotel tomorrow "to fix np a schedule for this year. Incidentally, they will hear a report on railroad rates. Now that the government has moved in and taken charge of the railroads, these baseball folks are not a little worried. Under government supervision, a ton of coal looks far better than eight tons of ball players, so Jerry Downs may get a contract to cart the ball tossers around the state in auto trucks. President Baimi expects a full attendance. at-tendance. J. P. Cook, the born orator, will be here from Salt Lake with a grip-full grip-full of schedules. The "magnuts" are expected ex-pected to convene shortly after noon. The first four hours will be taken up by Cook, wishing his fellow "ma smuts' a happy New Year. Then adjournment will be taken for dinner, after which Cook will take uii in detail the first of the fifteen schedules he has prepared, with illuminating illumi-nating remarks in passing. Now that Judge McCredie is no longer in the Coast league. Cook stands alone as the best schedule and speechmaker of the bunch, and for that reason the meeting of lfis will stand out iu his memory as the foremost successful in its history.
