bath could be had for $1,000, and seven
rooms and three baths for $4,000. In Lex
ington avenue, near Sixty second street, the
rent for two rooms and bath is from $1,000
TO $500. And these are not the best
apartments nor in the best neighborhoods.
If rentals like these could be collected in

Since. in any final analysis, It is clear that
Hoover is speaking with the voice Of America
and reacting to impulses that always have
moved this country, appeals like that made
at Havertord will not go unanswered. The
funds needed for relief of children in central
Europe and elsewhere will be- given literally.
More lasting than tho songs and legends
Of conquest and hcroism are the songs and
legends of great service and great compass
sion. They last. They tell of the comfort
ing things that men love to remember They
are n reinsurance and Il promise. And so
the dollars that Hoover spends so ably in
the afflicted places Of the earth will not
only relieve the poor and the dCsolate and
save the dying. They will re-cstablish faith
and they will make friends OF millions not
only for America, but for the things which
Americans have been striving and dying and
working for since this nutiVn was founded.
But essentially this great service of relief
ought to be done in the name of childhood
and for those innumcrable children who,
unlike our own, have no hope in their lives,
no song and no other way out Of the black
wilderness Of pain left in the wake Of war.

Miss Berry is n Georgia woman who has

What does surprise you is that she rules
her great industrial school and her huge
farm Of 1000 acres with n frmer hand than
most college presidents manage to put on
their jobs. and collects all the funds neccs
sNry for the education of her scholars as a
sort of holiday occupation.
Those OF us in the party who had heard
her for the first time the other evening were
bewldered as to how she had accomplished

heard her many times and knows her well
set our fears at rest.
Miss Berry will always light on her

happens where she is concerned. Why

MINOR LEAGUE CLUBS
 HOLD ANNUAL MEETING
American League Has No Power to Hold Players of the
 Three Clubs Which Have Joined the New National
 League, Believes Austrian

Chicago. November 9.-The Am srican league has no power to hold the play CTS the three clubs which have joined the new National League, nd every man on these clubs can play in the new organization next year, accord ing to an opinion given tonight by Ali fred Austrian, attorney for the two Chicago major league clubs and ad> wiser in the drafting of the Lasller plan for reorganization of the game.
 MT. Austrian's opinion was rende-ed In response to statements form repre- sentatives of the five clubs which are backing Ban Johnson in the baseball war that the league owned all it's play CTS, and that the Chicago White Sox, New York Yankees and Boston Red Cox clubs correctly could take only their ball parks into the new league"
 The players belong to the clubs, and their contracts are made with the clubs" said Mir. Austrian. 'rhe eague is merely voluntary organization, which has no contract power over the men other than to prescribe certain clauses which may be put into con tracts. l do not care to say at present whether even this power which volun- tarily has been given the league is law ful.
 There is no doubt, however, that the Chicago, New York and Boston clubs, formerly of the American League, may take their entire playing perso mel into the new national league, regard less of claims to the contrary which may be made by MT. Johnson and lis five backers.
 The New National League, however, is preparing for extensive court action, and expects numerous investigations to be applied for by the five American League clubs before they permit the players on the other three clubs 10 be taken from the league, according to representatives of the new organiza- tion.
 We expect bitter court battles,' laid one club owner, but we have ,ro- gressed satisfactorily, and have no doubt as to the outcome. The rew league is composed of the money naks ing clubs, and they are ready to spend every cent necessary to win"
 This club owner pointed out that if necessary the Chicago, New York and Boston clubs could put teams of anna tours in the field as their representa- tives in the American League. if they 80 desired.
 The three former American clubs are made up of many of the stars of the game, including Babe Ruth, Dick Kerr, Ray Schalk, John Collins, Carl Mays, Harry Hooper, Duffy LeSVis, Jack McInnis, Bob Shawkey, Roger Peckinpaugh, Schang and Ward.
