Kenesaw Mountain Lands, fully re-

numbing cold of Washington and the
drenching rain of Pittsburgh during
the late worlds series, has decided that
another year will see the great cham
pionship started earlier. His vote
as high commissioner of baseball yes
terday released a deadlock on the
question between the National and
American Leagues in their annual
joint session.
A year ago the commissioner and
President Ban Johnson of the Amer
lean circuit were far apart but now
they are together, for Landis' vote
was on the Americans side-that the
season for the majors shall end
September &c. And moreover, the
worlds series game will start at 80
half an hour earlier than under the
old schedule.
The bag of resin for the use of the
pitchers, hurled into the National
League meeting by President Heydler,
was not opened but will be inspected
at the meeting of the rules committee
early next year.
The National favors the move to
save baseballs; the American opposes,
no matter what the reason.
Barney Dreyfuss Of Pittsburgh,
William l.. Veeck of Chicago and Sam
Breadon of st. Louis have been named
National League representatives, on
