Ban Johnson Is Gloomy Over Out

President of American League Says
TWO Years of Unprecedented
Prosperity Has Given Base
ball Owners False Ideas.

Discretion is needed in baseball,
President Ban Johnson of the Ameri-
can league says So. He declares the
magnates in the majors and minors
are not using it and as a consequence
may have to suffer in the future. I'm
less they come out of their delirium
and stop paying and demanding out
rageOus prices for players, they are
likely to have sad awakening as
early as next season.
Prosperity in the last two years
has carried them off their feet and
they are forgetting what the word
prudence means. writes Oscar Reich
Ow in the Chicago News. If they
have any they are not using it, accord
ing to Johnson who is not bubbling
over with optimism over the outlook.

along on a fictitious prosperity for
the last two or three years" said Pres

the game and everybody concerned.
Next season may not be so good for
the owners. They have had two Won
derfully prosperous years and have
allowed that fact to affect their judg-
ment There is likely TO be a sudden
slump in baseball. Indications are
that the industries will reopen full
blast next year. If they do the men
who attended the games this summer
will be at work and will have no time
for the game If the club owners,
majors and minors, are wise they will
prepare for conditions of that char
acter.
Major league club owners uncOn-
SciOuSly are doing baseball an almost
irreparable injury by initiating the
prices on players as they have this
year. They are slowly wreCking the
minor organizations. the bodies from
which their stars must come. They
do not realize il now. but they Will
later Players for whom eXOrDitant
prices are paid get a distorted idea
of their ability and demand more sal
airy than they are worth. If they do
not stick they are sent back to the
minors, where they insist on a salary
that the small magnate cannot pay.
This condition comes not from only
one player but hundreds of them. with
the result the salary lists of the minor
league clubs are so high they cannot

age are some of the things that could
be transmitted to the son. That, OF
course is quite different from saying
that billiard experience and skill, as
such, could be inherited from the
father. The son might or might not
be a billiard player, according to che
development of his qualities. The fact
that young Jake grew up in an envir-
Onment where he would see a great
interest taken in billiards would tend
to influence him to take up the game
and encourage him to develop his
skill"
Man of Intelligence.
There is no billiard face or eX-
preston any more than there is an
expression peculiar to any other Oc-
cupatiOn or profession, according TO
Professor Starr. Shown picture OF
Jake Schaefer's father, Professor Starr
said: 1T would be impossible to tell
from this picture that the man was
a billiard player. The picture shows
a man wide awake, keen and lntelll-
gent. If | were given a group of pic,
! lures and told that certain of the
group were those of billiard players,
! I could, with my attention thus oil
rected, pick out four or five pictures
which would include those of the bill
! lizard players. But without such a
hint it would be impossible to tell an
occupation.
Young Jake evidently is man
who has himself under control. He
looks intelligent. But, as in the case
of the father there is nothing that
would indicate that he was billiard
player There are no Distinguishing
marks From the picture one can see
that he might be a billiard player oil
anything else that requires control
and intelligence"
Chicago eagle. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1889-19??, 1922-06-24

Does young Jake Schaefer'S skill
come by Inheritance from his famous
father? Could his father have trans
mitted to him that ability which has
made young Jake the worlds 49,
balkline billiard champion? These are
questions that are being asked by
billiard fans everywhere. In the ma
jGrity of instances, followers of the
game are convinced that the answer
to both questions is yes"
Science, however, in the person of
Professor Frederick Starr, anthrOpOlO-
gist of the University of Chicago, says
No Schaefer's father was a worlds
champion until 1908. His father died
before young Jake took up billiards
seriously. 50 that the late wizard
could not have given young Jake much

Characteristics Of Father.
Maybe it is Imagination or perhaps
1t is something else, but old billiard
fans profess to see revealed in the
features of young Jake the character
istics of his father Professor Starr
cannot see them. He asserts that
everyone who is an authority on evo
luton will agree in his statement that
the son could inherit no accumulation

IN RUSSIAN MODES
Demand Prevails in Paris for
BIouses and Sweaters.
Garments Flt Well Into the Present
Fashion Picture and the Shops
Are Busy

The present influence Of Russian
styles in all types of dress in France
is due to Russian refugees, according
to a Paris fashion writer in the New
York Tribune. Processes and grand
duchesses, driven from their own coun-
try, their lands confscated, their
money and Jewels gone, have turned
to the occupation which deals with
the subject nearest a woman's heart
and the one which she naturally
knows most about-the designing,
making and selling of clothes.
Both alphabetically and artistically
these Russian wares have made a
great impression In Paris, and a de-
cided Russian vogue prevails, par
ticularly in blouses and in sweaters.
These garments fit very well into the
present fashion picture because even
as far back as August there was this
tendency toward both the Russian and
Polish types in coats and blouses.
Jenny, Renee and Patou all showed
models distinctly Slavic in feeling.
Within the last month the inspiration
has been definitely named Russian.
The various ouvroirs, or workshops,
operated in Paris for the benefit of
Russian workers, are very busily en-
gagged in executing private orders on
blouses of Russian style. Paris manu-

prepared BY the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
The dairy house that will fulfill
sanitary requirements, and at the same
time be practical and inexpensive, has
been planned by the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. Many re-
quests are received for information
concerning the construction and ar
rangement Of such buildings. To meet
this demand the department has drawn
up plans for dairy houses of various
sizes which can be constructed
economically. Copies of the plans will
be sent free to those applying for
them.
For a person who is striving to I'M
prove the quality of his products a
practical, inexpensive type Of dairy
house, such as that planned by the
department, is an absolute necessity.
Milk that is poured or strained in the
barn, or allowed to stand there, is
liable to be contaminated by bacteria
and to absorb stable odors. AS soon
as the cows milk is drawn it should
be carried to the dairy house, to be
cooled Immediately to so degrees f.
or lower. An up-to-date sanitary dairy
house is provided with all the facilities
for cooling milk in the most economi-
cal manner.
For convenience the dairy house
should be near the barn, yet so far
from it that no barn Odors can be
detected in the house, and should be
on well-drained land that slopes from
the house.
The principal purpose in building
a dairy house is to provide a place
where dairy products may be handled
apart from anything else. To carry
out this idea it is necessary to divide
the interior Of the building so that the
utensils do not have to be washed in

HANDWoRK is IN HIGH FAVOR
Woman skllful With Needle May
Have Beautiful Clothes at Very
Moderate Outlay.

Any sort of handwork is in high
favor this season, and this should
mean a lot to the woman who makes
her own clothes. Ready-to-wear
garments that are largely handmade
are decidedly expensive, but when a
woman is sufficiently skillful with her
needle to do her own embroidering,
hemstitching, ETC., she may have really
beautiful clothes at a very moderate
outlay.
There is nothing radically different
in spring styles from those Of the
season just ending, The straight sill
houette holds good, the low waistline
is very much approved, and the un-
even hem continues to be a feature.
There are many novel and interesting
sleeves and some new neck treatments,
but on the whole there is compare
lively little change Certainly, how
ever, emphasis is laid on increased
skirt length.

the same room where the milk is
handled. The idea of absolute clean
illness must always be kept in mind;
and for this reason there should be
no unnecessary lodges or rough sur
faces on which dirt may lodge. Venti-
latOrs are necessary to keep the air
in the milk room fresh and free from
all OdOrs, and to carry steam away
from the wash room. Windows are Of
great Importance, as they admit sun
light and fresh air, and facilitate work.
In summer the doors and windows
should be screened to exclude flies
and other insects.
1t is necessary that there be plenti-
full supply of cold, running water at
the dairy house. If it is not possible
to have a regular water system, water
may be piped from an elevated tank
by an engine, wind mill, hand pump,
or hydraulic ram. The dairyman can
Ill afford to spend his time carrying
water in a pail to cool milk and wash
utensils.
For the proper sterilization of uten-
sis an abundance of steam or hot
water is needed. A pail or can may
appear to be clean and still may con-
tain numerous bacteria which will
hasten the souring of milk, cause bad
flavor in butter and cheese, or spread
contagion. After the utensils are
thoroughly clean they should be either
scalded with boiling water or steamed.
The dairy house should be so built as
to economic labor to the greatest ex-
tent. To do this the building must be
arranged to avoid unnecessary steps.
The equipment of the dairy house
consists of a IL to horsepower
vertical boiler which supplies steam to
the sink and to the steam Jet in the
drain board, a galvanized-iron wash
sink, a can rack, a BabcOck tester, a
concrete cooling tank, a milk cooler
and milk scales. A separator may
also be located in the milk room, De
tails Of the construction and arrange
ment Of this and other dairy houses
may be had by writing to the bureau

FORMAL ORDER
EMPTIED MINES
Call for Suspension Of Work Was
Issued From International
Headquarters.
SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND OUT
Men Are Especially Directed to Do All
in Their Power TO Protect the
Property Of the Employers
and Observe Laws.

Suspension of work by all union coal
miners at midnight March 81 was or
dered by officers of the United Mine
Workers Of America March q, the call
being the first ever issued for both
bituminous and anthracite workers to
walk out simultaneously. Six hundred
thousand men are directly affected by
the order; it was estimated officially.
The suspension, the order provided,
will continue until stopped by union
officials.
The order, which was sent to the
1900 local unions, directed the miners
to give the operators their fullest CO.
operation in the protection of mine
property and counseled against vio-
lence and violations of the law. In
addition to affecting all union miners
in the United States, the order also
directed approximately $3.50 union
men in western Canada to join in the
walkout, but did not apply to $4,000
miners in Nova Scotia.
Never before in the history Of the
coal industry has a suspension or
strike order called for cessation Of
work by all union miners In the
United States. In the past, wage con-
tracts in the bituminous and anthra-
cite fields have not expired at the
same time, but a complete tie-up in
union fields was considered during the
great anthracite strike in 1902. A sym
pathetic strike by the bituminous min
ut AhnA W
unions convention, it being argued
that the soft coal workers were bound
by contract.
The issuance of the call came with
the recent strike vote of soft coal min
ers not completely tabulated, but 1t
was said officially that the work of the
unions board of tellers had progressed
to such a point as to show every field
voting overwhelmingly in favor of a
suspension. Indications we're that nine
tenths Of the miners favored the walk
out.
The unions membership, excluding
that in Nova Scotia not affected by
the strike, is about 100000 men. OF
these, approximately $4,000 are in the
anthracite districts of Pennsylvania,
and the remainder scattered over the
soft coal fields. Past suspensions in
the anthracite fields, however, have
practically closed all operations, lead
ing to the official estimate that almost
100000 men have been called out of
the mines.
The order. was addressed to ''the Of
ficers and members of the United Mine
Workers of America" and was signed
by John L. Lewis, international presi-
dent; Philip Murray, vice-president,
and William Green, secretary treas
urer.

DRESS TO MATCH THE COAT
Suit Houses Have Concentrated on
Producing Attractive Styles In
Three-Piece Garments.

Taking a leaf out of the book of
the dress manufacturers, the suit
houses have concentrated their efforts
on producing attractive styles in three
piece garments. They substitute, how
ever, the coat or Jacket for the cape.
Underneath this outside garment there
is provided a dress Of the same ma
terial, which follows a tailored design.
According to the manufacturers, this
style is just getting into its swing and
will see it's best season next fall,
though quite few numbers have al
ready appeared and there will be
plenty for the late spring.
