Players

Chicago, Aug. ls.-chanses in the

No>dehntte action on these matters,
necessary to give 80 days notice prev
ious to officially voting on the subject.
William Veeck,& president Of the
Chicago National club, suggested a
change in player@limit date ffem May
Is to June IL. He believed this would
give q club more opportunity to try
cut its recruits before being compel-
led to cut its roster to the required
limit Of rs players. This change would
give a Club an additional month in
which to make choice from its recruit.
RaPney Dreyfuss, president of the
Pittsburgh Nationals, did not approve
OF buying or selling ball players in
mid-seasqn and asked that a change
be made. Mr.. Dreyfuss was well
supported by the ether club owners
gested that the date on which trades
Of sales Of players could be made
should be changed from August l to
June Is: This. change it was, pointed
cut, would prevent the se-called buy

JUST FOLKS

HOUSES.
/ wonder as I pass them by
The houses standing in a row,
Beneath the canvas of the sky
How many various tales they know;
And sometimes musing, as ! walk,
l fancy l can hear them talk,
For houses, inst like me and you.
Have eyes and ears and voices, too.
They have a common eIoquence
To tell their tales of mirth and woe,
The hollyhocks along the fence
Proclaim some charm of long ago;
BY many sign l know full well
The happy homes where children dwell,
And little fingers not in vain
Leave prints upon the window pane.
A house grows wrinkled, too, with age,
And grave or glad, as humans do,
And like some picture on a page
Portrays its life in open View;
Here in some little window shows
The beauty of n single rose,
A symbol, eloquently clear,
That one who loves the flowers is near.
I never walk the street alone,
For l can hear the houses there
Speaking a language of their own
And telling all their JOY and care:
The close-drawn curtains. sombre still,
Tell me that some loved one lies III;
And then watch to see again
That child's face at the window pane.
You may not know the people there.
But you can read their lives by signs
Which all their houses daily wear,
AS out of them their story shines.
A babe was born here yesterday,
Small bits of raiment proudly say;
And here the crepe upon the door
Tells Of a passing soul once more
