johnson Not Satisfied With Indicator
Handlers.

Detroit, Aug. 19.-While every base
hall magnate is looking for star play
ers, President johnson of the Amer
lean League is keeping his weather eye
peeled for umpires who can stand the
big league pace.
Three years ago President johnson
did not give his umpire staff a thought,
for he was perfectly satisfied with its
makeup. Three years time can bring
a lot of changes in the personnel of
big league umpire staff, as President
Johnson is now aware.
Never in the history of the two
major leagues has there been a better
chance for the ambitious youngster to
win q berth in the majors. There are
at least three places on the American
League staff that are unsettled, and an
equal number exists in the National
League.
It would not be at all surprising if
both major leagues spring a bunch of
new arbitrators on the public next
summer.

CHRISTMAS SHOPPING
Yes, the newspapers are urg-
ing the people to do their Christ
mas shopping early and have pity
on the poor, tired clerks.
It's a great game for the stores
helps fill the papers with adver-
Using, lengthens out the holiday
buying, helps get rid of last years
leftover stock, and gives the
stores chance to clean UP the
last week by marking down
prices.
But it doesn't make any more
money for the clerks, and doesn't
keep them from growing tired.
And all the talk about doing it
for their sake, is bunk.
If the newspapers are really
concerned about the poor, tired
clerks and want to help them,
they can do it best by starting
campaign for better wages tor
the clerks.
But they won't do that. II
would make their big advertisers
sore.
so do your Christmas shopping
whenever you feel like it.
