Major League Owners Awaken to Foliy of 8tarttng Seasons Too j Early Toner In Line. It took a long ttmo to do it, but Ntttloifal Leaguo magnates apparently lljavo awakened at last to tho folly of 'Btartlng the major leaguo seasons too early. - ftcxt year, if popular senti ment among tho club presidents pre vails, tho mnjor leaguo fans are very likely vto wait until near tho first of May for their regulnr diet of pleasure. The parsimony of some fow Nation al Leaguo club ownors was respon sible for all tho early spring tortures during' thd paHt two or throo years. Ban Johnson for tho past flvo years has advocated a much later start than has been observed. Indocd, at tho tlmo ChMoB H. Ebbcts and Charles W. Murphy foUght so hard for a schedulo of 108 games the big C7ar of thoAmorlcan Leaguo was oponly advocntlng a cut to 140 gamos in his circuit Ho would havo gone through with did plan, too, If his collcaguos had nol backed out nt tho very last moment They thought" such a con tracted period of activity would glyo tho rln major leaguo too great an advantage. Tho JpAst fow years havo worked' n marvolcnls chango of heart. To begin with most of tho grasping magnates havo drdpped or been dropped out of tho National Leaguo. Tholr places havo b'oon taken by" such genuine sportsman as James E. Qaffnoy and William F. Bakor. Ebbets never wna a bad fellow only at ono tlmo ho kept company with soino strango col leagues. Banfjohnson declared in Chicago tho other day tjiaf., thq American LonKUQ, would not'becln its season so nriy fiejtt year. Ho said it sb If ho menniflip coniorm 10 mis pinn re gardless of tho National League. .However, it Is qulto likely that he has talked tho matter over with Gov ernor Tetter and that the National Leaguo. President is of tho same mind. In fact, Toner said In Brooklyn that What' hq says bears a great deal of weight, in National Leaguo affairs. , PROVES A STUMBLING BLOCK i Babe Acamsf Star Twlrler of Pitts burgh Team, Will Be Worked Hard During This Season.

AUTOMATIC LAMP ON STAIRS Arrangement Gives Late-Comer Ample Time 'toi Ascend Stairway Beforo 'Lights Are Extinguished, In Europe many of tho apartment houeos aro- provided with automatlo stair lamps j which can bo lighted by tho touch of a' button at the bottom or top of the stairs. The lamps burn for two or three minutes, automatically extinguishing themselves at tho end of this period, soys ,EloctrIcal World. This arrangement gives the late-comer ample tlmo to ascend the atalr,wny (lighting each flight successively if there are several) and It has tho ad vantage of saving tho aU-nlght ubo of lamps. Such a schemo would, however, be less adaptable to American practlso becauso most cities hero have ordi nances requiring landlords to operate hall lamps all night long, On the scale of otfrer costs, also, electrical energy Is, cheaper in this country than abroad so that Icbb need exists for economiz ing In qurrent. Automatlo switches used 1q Germany extinguish the lamps at, the end bf two or three minutes aft er thq tenant has had time to reach his apartment If entering; or to pass through, jtho street dbor if leaving th" o building.
