Emery Ball Rule Proves
Expensive to Magnates

With all this talk of the shine ball,
the licOrice ball, the talcum powder
ball and the other foolers, American
league batters are charging opposing
pitchers with using comes yelp from
club magnates against the edict
against the emery ball, which brings
UP anew the subject of the high COS,
of baseball.
Magnates aren't kicking on the
emery ball because of changing their
minds about the plumb mcanness" of
the thing, not at all, its just as mean"
in their eyes as ever, but they are OBJ
jecting to the frequency with which
they are called upon to provide new
balls.

New balls that have been pitched
only once or twice may be the vic.
Tins, but it makes no difference to
the jumps, who orders them out of

= Charley Comiskey estimates that 20
new balls are being used in every
game played at the White Sox park,
exclusive of those stolen by specta-
tors. This is about twice the number
that used to be used before the emery
ball rule came in favor.
The same wall is going up in every
big league park that boasts concrete

During 1914 the number of women
who obtained employment in other dis
tricts through the employment ex.
changes was 32,0SS; in 1915, 1886;
in 1916, 16o,Oo3; indicating the in
crcasing mobility of women's labor
due to war conditions.
To maintain the physical well-being
Of children, opportunities for recrea-

supervisors are regarded as highly i'm
portant. Sunday work should be elm
mated and children should be. en-
ployed at night only when other labor
cannot be obtained. Employment of
boys under sixteen should be restrict
ed to 60 hours per week, it is urged.
1t should be borne in mind that this
limit recommended by the committee
expresses their opinion Of the maxi
mum which may be permitted to meet
the imperative need of necessary mill
tary and other supplies in a time Of
great emergency. 1t is estimated that
10000 children at or about the age Of
fourteen, normally leave the elemen-
tary schools annually, and that in 1915
this number was exceeded by. about
$4,000 with the probability that it is
now much greater.
