900, 900 in 1920 and $755,000. 900

New York. Sept. 1i.-All this

as many times as they used to, but
their hits are all necessarily longer.
Change in the pitching rules has
been a factor because batters have
more confidence when they step up
to the plate
Shocker is one OF the few remain
ing spitballers and he has made it
a most effective weapon. He does
not believe, however, that the use of
foreign Substance on the ball should
be necessary to make a great pitcher.
"There always will be a way OF
putting q hook on the ball without
beating the rules" he says. Look
at Joe Bush. He has perfected a

pitcher out of him. He lets the ball

FEATURES OF FUTURE CITY
Chances for the Better That Are
Assured Simply by the Ordinary
March of Events.

Tomorrow you may not know your
own city. They have probably begun
altering it already, or are planning to
do so. If not, it doesn't greatly mat.
ter, because certain forces at work
will compel far-reaching changes auto
matically. Tomorrow your city will
have wide bOulevardS cut through its
narrow streets. These will accOmmo.
date four, six and eight lines Of traf'
tic. They will start at the center and
run miles out into the country. Thou.
sands of buildings will be torn down.
Sharp street corners will be rounded
off and the circle and crescent take
the place Of the checkerboard.
Did your city fathers, years ago, lay
out a downtown boulevard or town with
a strip of parkway in the center?
That beauty spot will be needed for
traffic. But better beauty spots will
appear miles from the downtown sec
ton. Slums and tenements will dis
appear, too. 1here Will ne d Seherai
grading up of living standards, and an
equalization of real estate values.
When you drive a car the traffic cop
will no longer be able to bawl you out,
for he will disappear from street
crossings, guiding traffic by electric
signals from a point where he can see
everything but say Nottingham is,
If he doesn't disappear altogether, says
a Saturday Evening Post writer. For
there will be dOubledecked street cross
ings at congested points. And traffic
at ordinary street crossings will be
speeded up by diffused lighting which
kills the shadows that now make
them dangerous.
