by President Wilson's recent procama-

Major Baseball Leagues
Plan to Start Games an !.
Hour Later
RULE ADVOCATED
BY BAN JOHNSON
President Of American League to Ask
His Organization to Vote for 4
Racing More Popular.

NEW YORK, March 20-Baseball |
officials see great boom for the game |
if the new daylight saving bill becomes
(; law. Secretary John A. Heydler of
the National league states that the
league had taken no action as yet con
corning the hour OF starting games and
that the question would probably be
left to each club. AS local conditions
in cities differ, the various major
league clubs will arrange the hour of
starting games to suit their patronage.
1t is almost certain that most of the
clubs will begin ball games at 40 I'M
der the daylight saving plan. With the
local clubs it is almost certain that the
Giants, Yankees, and Brooklvns will
greatly benefit by the plan TO begin the
games at 40 clock. The new ar
langement of hours would give more
fans a chance to see games than ever
before on week days With the down
town offices closing at o clock, there
is certain to be great increase of
patronage
The daily patronage of baseball
games usually averages more in New
York than other major league cities
because of the large transient popula-
ton of the city in summer. However,
there are numerous fans who are held
at their offices just long enough to pre-
vent their attending ball games which
begin at $50. With the games be-
ginning at 40 there is sure to be
greater crowds All the baseball Off
ciaIs who were consulted on the
question yesterday predicted that the
game would have its greatest season
under the new conditions
The daylight saving bill will alse
have a favorable effect on racing be
cause numerous racing patrons whc
are unable to get to the track at go
will be able to be there if the race,
begin an hour later al $50. All out
door sports will benefit by the new
bill, and for that reason promoters o
all kinds of athletic pastimes look 70
q prosperous season.

U. TOCONTROL
AFTER THE WAR
Borah Predicts Government
Ownership; Legislation
Planned.

Government ownership of public
utilities and natural monopolies in
the United States, not only for the
period OF the war. but for all time,
was forecast in the Senate yesterday.
Senator Borah. of Idaho, leader of
the Progressive Republicans. in dis
cussing the recommendation of the
Federal Trade Commission that the
packing plants of the country be taken
over by the government, said:
IT am of the opinion, although 1t
will be charged as being socialistic,
that the time has come when every
monopoly, and particularly every
natural monopoly. must be taken un-
der the regulation of the government.
II am in favor of taking the stock
yards and placing them under the
permanent control of the government
Of the United States. They are a
natural utility; they are a necessary
instrument of business; they belong
to the entire public. and believe that
when We come to the legislation we
will be able TO do something In the
way of taking over certain parts of
these business institutions which will
then enable US, perhaps, to regulate
that which is left"
Legislation Being Prepared.
The legislation referred to by Sena-
tor Borah is now being prepared for
presentation to Congress and contem-
plates a permanent form OF govern
ment control of the packing industry
instead of mere control for the pc
riod OF the war.
Senator Borah made his forecast of
legislation contemplating permanent
government control of monopolies in
n speech defending the Federal Trade
Commission for its packers report.
The legislation will be sought dur
ing the early days of the regular ses-
sion of Congress which begins in De-
Cember, as the present session Of
Congress is pledged to deal only with
war measures.
II the President takes over the pack
ing industry in the meantime the leg
islation for permanent control will be
pressed as strongly as though he had
not acted.
Since the attack by the United
States Chamber of Commerce on the
Federal Trade Commission for its re-
port on the packing industry. and the
recommendation of the chamber that
the commission be abolished, Senator
Chamberlain has almost daily launch
ed an attack upon the Federal Trade
Commission, denouncing the body as
a whole and its members individually.
Senator Borah yesterday, in defense
of the commission. said that not a
single fact or figure OF their conclu-
Cions or findings in their inquiry into
the packing industry had yet been re-
futed. and that from a personal study
of the evidence upon which these find
ings and conclusions we're based. he
was convinced that they were justified
in every particular.

WANT TEDDY
FOR RUSSIA
Letter from Battle Front
Contains Boost for
Roosevelt.

American soldiers abroad believe
that Col Roosevelt should be sent
to Russia at the head of an Ameri-
can army, according to a letter re-
ceived by Louis Rothschild. of this
city. from Irving Chayken. a former
Washington newspaper man with q
marine regiment in active service on
the Western battle front
Teddy is as good a soldier as ne
Is an orator" Mr.. Chayken writes,
and IL he were in command OF q
division on the Eastern front there
would be no danger OF German dom
ination. His son. Quentin was killed
at the front where I was and the
major was put away ia the attack
in which my regiment participated" e"
Germans Lose Heart.
Mr.. Chayken declared that the
German soldiers lose heart when
brought face to face with the SOL
diers OF Uncle Sam. In one sector
where his regiment was engaged
the German infantry refused to
fght our men and over half the reg
iment deserted to the American side
When asked their reason for de-
serting one German told Mr.. ebay
ken that 1t was because the Amer
leans had the reputation of fighting
like hi"
The prisoners declared that the
German soldiers did not know. how
many Americans were on French
territory. and that If they ever
learned the truth the greater part
OF them would mutiny.
The regiment to which Mr.. ebay.
ken belongs took part in the battle
near Chateau Thierry with the other
Marine regiments that distinguish.
ed themselves during the attack.
I'VE surprised the boches at theii
own game" he writes. "and even
the crown prince with his best men
could not stop us"
