OVERCROWDING AN ALHAMBRA
Pirates Climbing Steadily
PUSH GIANTS OUT OF POSITION
BROWNS BEAT YANKEES
New York, June 9, Pittsburgh Pirates are challenging strongly in the National League.
By defeating the tall-ending Brooklyn Dodgers in both games of a double-header, the Pirates leaped from fourth to second place in the Longue. However, St. Louis, the lenders, also won. The Cardinals are four victories ahead of Pittsburgh and the losses are four fewer, though they have played one game less.
Pittsburgh won its first game day by four to one, on a hitting score of light to seven. The recond game the Pirates took seven to five, on tr
hits to twelve.
OFFENCE BY JANUARY

SIZE OF HOUSES
OVERCROWDING in dwellings will be an offence after
January 1 next in all areas where the number of over- crowded families is less than 100 or is less than 2 per cent. of the number of working-class houses.
The Minister of Health, Sir Kingsley Wood, announced this decision recently in a circular to all housing authorities on the further steps needed to bring into operation the whole of the over- crowding provision of the 1936 Housing Act.
Those already living in overcrowded conditions at the pres- cribed date are protected until other suitable accommodation is available.
But it is clearly desirable, the circular states, that the fixed date should not apply in an area unless and until adequate arrange- to-ments are in sight, not nearly for making fresh overcrowding unnecessary but for providing sufficient accommodation to "de crowd" within a reasonable time,
The fixing of January 1 as the date will give authorities time to put in hand rehousing before then.
Local authorities submit a general rehousing proposal by August 1.

SHOCK TO YANKS
The American League stamling was not altered by the Yankees defeat, but it was remarkable that the lowly Browns should havo heen the team to stop the New York string of luck.
In spite of an injury to Hemsley, who split his finger and had to retire in the ninth inning, St. Louis shack- ed ten hits and scored five runs. They held the Yankees to five hits and three runs, and the New York fielders care- lessly bungled three times.
