Johnson of the American League,
while visitor here to confer with
Owner Ball and Business Manager
Quinn of the Browns. refused to dis
cuss the legal tangle in his circuit,
but said he looked for base ball to
have another good year. and that sew
eraI changes in the rules We're con-
templated.
Base ball had a very good year in
1919" said Johnson, "and l look for
another in 1920.
.There will be a meeting of the
committees of the two major leagues
in "A short time to legislate against
freak pitching. Connie Mack and
Clark Griffith will act with rhe on
the committee representing the
Ter. Barney Drcyfuss and William
Neeck form the National League COM
mittee.
There are some who want to take
drastic action. However | will not
say that the spitball will be ruled
out. ! am inclined to think that the
hUrlerS in the two major leagues to-
day will be given. say, two years, to
correct these pitching faults.
However. ] do not think that any
youngsters coming up from the
minors will be permitted to use the
splitter and any other freak delivery.
To Tighten Umpire's Work.
1T is proba BILE that the rules will
be put down clearly and leave moth
ing to the judgment of the umpire.
There is a chance that when the
meeting is held, in one of the west
arn cities, two or more of the umpirec
will be asked to attend.
When asked if any new agreement
had been made with the minor
leagues Pre- .ident Johnson said:
This probably will be done at a
meeting between the major and minor
leagues. However. | do not think
this gathering will come until after
the Baltimore Federal case has been
settled. We have appealed the Bal
timore case. l have not heard when
a hearing will come, but expect it to
be some time in March"

GREAT BRITAIN
 IS SOLVING ITS HOUSE SHORTAGE

New York, Sept. s-The acute housing shortage faced by many cit ies in the United States today brought from the Guaranty Trust company a description by it's foreign trade bureau of how Great Britain was meeting a similar siuttaion.
 'The program of the British Min istry of Health-complete rehousing in three years@is about one year behind and is costing more than double the original estimates said the report. 2
 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.
 'fWhat 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 all low the number to be increased from the outside.
 ''The government is using sort of in direct conpulsion by prohibiting luxury and unessentia1 building,' so that if a man will not build cottages he is not allowed to build anything. There are housing bond cam paigns all over the country. In London, subscriptions to the six per cent. bonds are coming in at the rate of about f10o,000 a day. While the local governments are issuing six per cent. bonds, the British govern ment charges seven per cent. Bor- rowing in the ordinary way for hous ing schemes not financed by bonds is usually seven per cent
 "On July 21, the total number of housing schemes in England and i,, all, land for s00,o00 houses. Of | these TYPO have been approved with an area for 550,0O0 houses. In
 Scotland 103,Oo0 houses have been authorized, the bids averaging about BLOOD per house. This is roughly
 about f10O to f15o more than it costs per house in England.''

Learning From Others.

The greatest mark Of master
builder Is his ability to learn from
others. The truly great man Is never
ashamed to learn. He willingly takes
pointers from his Office boy when that
important parsonage has something to
give. It's in this way that he gets
ahead. The old world Is forever ex-
ceeding human experience. Each day
adds to the facts Of the unknown. IN
dreamed of facts today are tomorrow
made commonplace. The great man
knows this well. Accordingly he tries
to keep abreast Of the changes that
make or mar the future. He builds
by trying to make each new fact an
aid to the general progress and gath
ers his data wherever he finds 1t. He
subdues the world with the material
the world itself gives him.
