LATE SEASON DEAL
OF PLAYERS BANNED.

81 CHICAGO, Aug. / tBy the
Associated Press) .-Late season:
deals by which clubs literally
have been wrecked and pennant
contenders strengthened through
sales and trades of players are
doomed TO go the way of the spit
ball and other discarded customs
OF organized baseball if National
and American magnates hold to
the notions expressed at yester-
days confab with Commissioner
Lands.
Althou gh no changes in the
rules will be made until the next
annual meeting, sentiment among
the club owners was SO strong
against late season transactions
that revisions Of the baseball code
TO advance the time limit on sales
between major league clubs are
virtually assured when the base
ball laws are overhauled-
Definite action on the barn
storming revision, which was the
main purpose OF yesterdays meet
ing. requires that Il players APP
plication to particip ate in eNhibl-
ton games at the close OF the
season be accompanied by writ
ten consent of his club. &5

Modern Place Being Built to
House Newspaper Men
During Games

MORGAN2OWN, Aug. Is.
When the 1922 West Virginia Un1-
yersity football season opens here
that group known as the ork-
ing press the worthy gentlemen
who cover the games for their re-
spective papers, will be comfort
a bly, located in the first real
press box ever located az the
Mountatneer athletic field. An
nounc efent of the proposed con
struction of the box was made
known today in a statement oS
Director Of Athletics H. A. Stans-
bury, who has submitted plans to
a contractor and ordered work on
the edlfice to be started lrmedi-
ately.
The new improvement is to be
built at a considerable elevation
in the rear of the hillside bleach
ers and will accommodate approx
imately twenty newspaper corres-
pondents, alon gwith thei: tele-
graphers. typewriters and other
paraph ernalia It is to be covered
and made as mfortable as pos
sible with the exacting needs OF
the newspapermen given close at
tention-
Director Stansbury's action was
undou btedly prompted by me JUS
tifiab1e criticism to which be has
been subjected by newspapermtn
both from this and other states
for the lack of press accommoda-
tions at the local athletic field. In
past seasons the writer's have
been forced to sit on the West
Virginia players bench with a
! rudely CONSTRUCTED bench serving
as a table. Uncovered and expos
ed TO the wind and elements this
was very unsatisfactory from
every standpoint. The climax was
reached last Thanksgiving when
the battery Of scribes was forced
to sit for almost two hours in a
driving rain without the slightest
sign of protection. Typewrlters
were ruined and paper soaked I'M
til it was Impossible to write on
it even with pencil THE criticism
of newspapermen after this game
set local athletic officials thinking
and iaused them to approve OF
the construction of a regular press
box which is sure to meet with the
wholehearted approval of sports
writers OF this section Of the
country

The "Bloc" Is Not New.
(Rryan's Commoner.) ]

The Eastern papers bitterly complaining ol the horticultural Bloc.' Some to the extent ol it as unpatroticif it becomes any more effective than it is is liable to be called treason able All this agitation about the agricultural bloc is very amusing There has not been time in thlrty years when there was not Wall Street Boc Blg Business Bloc a Manufacturers Bloc, or Brewers Bloc Every important question is liable to shatter party lines When prohibition became real issue the drys as well the vets ignored party lines ana stood for the wishes of their constituents The East ern members regard party lines when ques-
 ton comes up that touches the financial interests the manufacturers interest, or the big corporations
 The formation of bloc is not unusual ana can not be regarded improper The only criticism that can fairly be made against the agricultural bloc IS that it has acted in the open. It's members nave not been ashamed to proclaim their purpose to ls- nore politics: and to defend the interests Of the farmer. The financial bloc always worked under cover as do the bocs that promote the interests or DIE business
 The agricultural bloc is largely responsible TOT
 the most valuable legislator have thus far had In
 this it secured the passage of the bill regu-
 atng the packers it is responsible for the passage oi the bill that protects the farmers from those Who used gamble in his products. The agricultural ploc has recently for the farmers representat1ve on the Federal Reserve Board This much they have done in the way of securing affirmative relief and then have furnished the nucleus around which sui fcient number of Senators and members gathered to prevent the big business bloc from reducing to the extent they desired the taxes on big incomes Ihey able prevent all the reduction attempted but they kept the rate eighteen per cent h1gher than the big business bloc wanted it.

TOURIST TRAFFIC WILL IMPROVE.

All the steamship companies operating in Alaskan waters are making special arrangements for tourist travel to the North which it is estimated will be sideraby greater than that of any year since the United States entered the It is said that all of the companies will be prepared to handle more pas sengers than they last year. and efforts are being made to procure additional boats by those who have not already completed that task. The Canadian Pacific will operate the new Princess Louise, of its largest The Princess Alice which it's flagship last year and before will also carry tourists to Alaska but she will longer play leading role in that capacity The Admiral Line will operate the old steamers Queen and Spokane the Southeastern Alaska route and it is said, it is en- deavoring to secure another vessel for the tourist traffic of the Inside Passage The Alaska Steamship Company will utilize the Jefferson Alameda and Northwestern It has been negotiating for another vessel for the Southeastern route, but with what success has not been announced.
 This is industry that has contributed not little to the prosperity of Alaska in the past, and it is refreshing to know that it will be better this year than during any of the recent past It is business that should be encouraged There is industry that would respond quicker to advertising if the arrangements to for it ample, and there is industry that contributes to country in proportion the investment The tourist tide leaves lots of money in the channels through which 1t passes and it infrequenty results in the investment of capital for development and other purposes.

A Reprieve for the Old Parties.
lNeW York Post. ]


 Samuel Gompers not among those present at the Chicago conference of farmers labor representa- tives and unattached prOgressives which decided terday not to go in for political party But Mr. Gcmpers must have read of the decision at Chicago with good deal of equanimity. Denounced chroncally as enemy to the true interests of labor, tool and purblind leader of the blind MT. Gompers has the satisfaction of seeing his political tactics indorsed by the men who have said so many hard things about him. There is to be no new party, but the efforts of the at Chicago will be thrown to the support of oldparty candidates favorable farmer-abor and thrown against hostile candidates This is what MT. Gompers has been doing for a generation.
 There is still difference however between the Chicago conferees and MT. Gompers. The latter is that he wants separate political party The Chicago conference is not sure, for all time. Next December there is to be conference to discuss the question It depends, obviously, what the November elections will show. If the policy of boring from within produces results there will be party If there results there will pre- sumably be party. But this is hand-to- mouth policy that is not likely to produce results either by boring from within by the creation of a new political instrument. If you go in for boring from within you have stick to it for years before profit shows. If you believe in separate party you must do the MT. Gompers is something of statesman, in the that he has made up his mind and sticks. With his opponents it seems to be a of again and off again. as the winds shift.
