other contractors who now render
service to the government for pay.
But no service he can thus render

JOHNSON FAVORS NEW PLAYING HOUR
American League Head Would Have Games Start at 4 O'Clock

Chicago. March 19 - Baseball games in the American League will begin at f D. m. this year, one hour later than in former years, if Ban Johnson, president of the league, has his way. Johnson thinks the later start will enable many persons to leave their offices for the day and that the attendance will be increased largely
 Before leaving St. Louis last night Johnson took steps to put the 4 o'clock opening up to the club own CTS, but he expressed the opinion thatt the league would vote on the question and make the opening time uniform.
 As I see it. the added hour of day. ! light under the new law will be al boon to baseball,' said Johnson. we can start our games an hour laterl by the watch and still have plenty; of daylight left to finish. By begin-| ming play at i o'clock this season wei will be following the old style as fari as the sun is concerned.
 ''I will take up the matter with our) league immediately. It seems to mel certainty, however, that instead of leaving it to the opinion of the indi-I vidual club owners, the league wi1t1 vote to start all games at o'clock. 2
