Try to Improve
 Local Pageants

Chicago, Sept. A ten-day institute held here by the Drama League of America closes this week. The school thought by heads of the Drama League, to be the first of its kind in the country, is being held for the purpose of promoting better local plays, pageants and theatricals.

President Silent
 About Clauses of Foreign Treaties

Washington, Sept. 3.Expirationl at midnight tonight of the ninety dayl period allowed the president by the new merchant marine act to give notice of the intention of the United States to revoke certain clauses of commercial treaties brought no off cial announcement from the execu- tive department of government. 4
 State department Officials whose study of commercial treaties to which
 the United States is signatory has
 revealed that about 25 such pacts1 contravene the merchant marine act. declined absolutely to say whether any decision had been reached or any action taken. Intimation came from one high official, however, that
 the matter had gone to the white.
 house. 4
 Doubt was expressed in some quar- ters as to whether the ninety day period expired tonight but, examina- tion of the act showed that it was
 signed by the president June 5,.and that therefore the period came to an end today. Clauses of the existing treaties which must be revoked are those which in the words of the act "re- strict the right of the United States to impose discriminating customs duties on imports entering the United states in foreign vessels and in yes sels of theUnited States and which also restrict the right of the United States to impose discriminatory ton- mage dues on foreign vessels and on vessels of the United States enter ing the United States"
 Speculation has been widespread as to the effect of notices to other na- ticns of this governments intention
 to revoke such clauses, officials have
 expressed almost general belief that the revocation of the clauses will
 lead to abrogation of the entire treat ies.

Great Britain Has
 Her House Problems

New York, Sept. 3-The acute housing shortage faced by many cities in the United States today brought from the Guaranty Trust company's description by it's for eign trade bureau of how Great Brit ain was meeting a similar situa- 1 ton.
 "The program of the British Min istry of Health-complet rehousing in three years-is about one year behind and is costing more than dou- ble the original estimates" said the report.
 Local authorities in England are left in charge of the work unless they fail to show results, in which case the business is turned over to the Office of Works.
 "What is keeping back housing at the present time is the fact that there are not enough skilled men to do even a quarter of the work want ed. The trades unions will not allow the number to be increased from the outside. ,s
 "The government is using a sort of indirect compulsion by prohibiting luxury and unessential building so that if man will not build cottages he Is not allowed to build anything
 "There are housing bond campaigns all over the country. In London, sub scrlptions to the six per cent bonds are coming in at the rate of about 100000 pounds day. While the To- cal governments are issuing six per cent bonds, the British government charges seven per cent. Borrowing in the ordinary way for housing schemes not financed by bonds is usually seven per cent.
 "On July 21 the total number of housing schemes in England and Wales numbered 10,673, covering, in 1all, land for 8OO,OOO houses. In Scotland 1O3,OOO houses have been authorized, the bids averaging about 100 pounds per house. This is roughly about 100 to 15O pounds more than it costs per house in Eng land,"

Champion Drinks Plenty of Water
 and Eats Plums

Benton Harbor, Mich, Sept. A. A big old fashioned farm house situ- ated on the outskirts of Benton Har- bor, and within a block of the arena in which he will face Billy Miske on Labor Day is the training camp of
 Jack Dempsey, worlds heavyweight champion.
 The house is spacious and well equipped for the needs of the cham pion and his training force. A rub ping room has been furnished adja- cent to the champions bedroom and there is plenty of space for the rest of the training party, which consists of Manager Jack Kearns, Ben Smith. the trainer, Big Bill" Tate and "Pan- anna" Joe Cans, negro sparring part ners, cook an dtwo other men who are solicitous for the heavyweight champion. Dempsey is heavy drink CT of the fine artesian water that he pumps from the yard. When he gets through with his daily workout and has been cooled thoroughly after a rubdown, he lies down for half an hour to get rid of all heat in his sys- tenn. Then his handlers bring him a pitcher of water right out of the pump and he drinks it slowly and with evident relish. Dempsey is a firm believer in drinking plenty of water.
 In the back yard of the champion s training camp is a fine plum orchard and Dempsey seems to enjoy picking the fruit from the trees and eating a half dozen or more plums between meals. He likes all kinds of fruit and as the Michigan fruit season is in it's height now, Jack is having his appetite gratified.

With the end of the American Asso-
citation season fast approaching. the
Indians and Brewers resumed action to-

and, as the first two games In the match

plenty of determination, showing.
The game this afternoon and one to-

will come to wind up the season with
the Trihesmen.
The HendricksRen are battling hard
to edge up a little as the finish Of the

ful today that Pug Cavet would be able
TO turn Egan's outft back.
Cav ami Stryker are not ready for
pitching duty, aud this leaves the Tribe
hurting stan weakened, but the twirlers
who are ut are anxious to make strong
finish and have nTada known willing
ness to work extra IL necessary.
Fans are keenly interested in the play

bids fair to be the phenom OF the Asso-
citation net season. He has speed to
burn and his clean thefts of bases have

PACE CONTINUES FAST

With the National League pennant
waving over Brooklyn the Interest OF
fandom conferred today on the hot fight
between the Chicago White Sox and the
Cleveland Indians in the junior major
league. The National League pennant
was decided Monday when the Giants,
the last club to challenge Brooklyn, lost
. game to Boston and thereby fell out
OF the race
hanging on like bulldogs. Both won
their Monday games in decisive fashion
and the Indians managed to hold the
scant half game lead that bridges the
gap between first and second places.
Today Iris Speakers ,eam continued
its series in st. Louis, where two more
games are to be played, but the White
Sox will be idle until Friday, when they
are scheduled to open a three game
series with tbe Browns. Meanwhile the
C1eyelanders will take on Detroit in
four games.
Chicagos lone hope rests in two de-
feats for the Speakerites in their remain
ing six games and, though the 0hioans
are going great guns, snch happening
IS possible before they get away from st.
Louis though not probable.
While the American Leaguers are fight
ing 1t out the Brooklyn Dodgers will
point themselves for the worlds series
Uncle Wilbert Robinson now has a
chance to give his star twirlers a much
needed rest and in this respect be en-
joys distinct advantage over whichever

Granting that pitching viii have much
to do with deciding the Issue In the COM
ing series, 1t Is apparent that the Dodgers
enjoy an edge at this stage. for Brook
lyn's pitching staff is stronger as a whole
than the stats of either the Indians or
White Sox
The victory OF the Dodgers In this
years campaign was honestly earned and
we'll deserved. Wilbert Robinson got I'll a
last ounce OF baseball out OF every me ~
Der Of the team and the fact that tW
newly crowned champions won a rnaioritv

every other team but the Cincinnati Reds
proves that they played consistently.
The fact that the Dodgers must Invade
an American League city for the first
three worlds series games Is not looked
upon as a serious handicap, for Brooklyn
has been a good road club all year.

played in Brooklyn Oct. Il and the ninth
game, if any, will be played on Oct. 16

cIared that arrangements for the opening
game, if held in Cleveland, could not be
completed by Oct. 8. He said that new
stands were being erected and other ar

decided it would be best to change the
dates, giving the FIST three games to
Brooklyn.
