F: INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 9.-The national
executive board of the United Mine
Workers of America adjourned today sine
die without promulgating formal in
dorsement of the application of the min
ers of the anthracite district for permis-
sion to strike. At the close of the ses-
sion, President John Mitchell said:
'There is practically no change in the
situation since last night. If the opera
tors do not meet our demands within a
given time the strike will be ordered upon
the Endorsement of Secretary Wilson and
myself
Whether the time allowed is five days
or longer l decline to say As set out in
our statement of yesterday, influences are
at work to bring about settlement with
out ordering the men to lay down their
tools. l must again decline to say what
these influences are for the reason tina
making this information public would at
once destroy their effectiveness.
IF there are any political influences al
work know nothing of them, and 1 don't
think 1t has come to the knowledge OF
the board members. It would be very
bad policy for the national officers Of the
mine workers to ask the intercession OF
any political party, and this most certain

HAZLETON, Pa, Sept. 9.-The result Of
the national executive board of United
Mine Workers, in session at Indianapolis,
in declining to declare strike involving
the entire anthracite coal field until fur
Their efforts at Cancellation have been
made. is taken among the mine workers
here as an Indication of the level headed
ness on the part of the leaders, and they
are now confident that the way is open
for bringing about settlement through
arbitration. although only a few of the
many operators who would be affected by
a strike have agreed thus far to that
proposition. The operators, on the other
hand, regard the postponement of the
strike as meaning that the leaders do not
yet consider the anthracite field strong
enough to enforce the demands made by
the Hazieton conference
1t is reported that the district presidents
will remain here until tomorrow and en-
deavor to prevail upon the operators to
make some concessions. but as the board
has left, all possibility of settlement has
vanished, and a strike seems to be the
only outcome unless the national execu-
tive committee at Indianapolis changes
the programme tomorrow
1t is reported that a strike will be order
ed Tuesday night All eyes are now turn

Ut0pian Object of the New Ball
Players Association,

Players Association,
NEW YORK, Sept. at was definitely
decided today by the Protective Associa-
ton of Professional Baseball players to
pace before the league magnates several
propositions from the players, that, If
adopted, will make radical changes in the
league contract A committee was ap-
pointed to wait on the club owners( at
their annual meeting, and and for a can-
ference. The committee is Charles Zin-
mer, Pittsburg; Hugh Jennings, Brook
Ign, and Harry Taylor, the association s
counsel.
If the magnates agree to receive tho
players committee a contract will be pre-
scented that abolishes the sale and farming
systems, and also the privilege now taken
by league clubs of claiming the services
of released player.
Should the league magnates refuse 10
confer, which is considered probable, it IS
the sense of teday's meeting that steps
should be taken to compel the magnates
to grant the players an audience.
The association passed a resolution on
the motion of President thinner, that will
be good news to those who attend ball
games. 1t was TO the effect that kicking
and rowdyism must be eliminated from
the game, and that everything possible
viii be done by the players on the fell to
hurry the games along, every man at the
meeting pledged himself to carry out the
spirit of the resolution.

CURED there in a winters season some
fifteen years ago. 1t was perpetrated by
a eountFyman of yours and was the re-
suit OF an after-dfnner wager made in
one Of our clubs. The American laid a
heavy amount that he would go down
one Of the straight toboggan slides on
skates. 1t was thing that had never
been attempted in Montreal and one I
do not think is likely to grow popular
for a fall would result in almost certain
death or in injury so frightful as to make
death seem preferable by comparison.
The American took all bets, and when the
time arrived for the trial he APP
peared with a pair of old-fashioned
skates, generally called rockers You
probably know the kind-where the steel
is in the form of a half moon from toe to
heel. the blade Is all circle and affords no
sembiance Of an angle to offer resistance.
They were very popular skate in the sos
and '70s, but no one but an expert could
use them. 1t was an exceedingly wise
choice. for a skate with a straight run
ner would have detected or jumped at
small obstacle, which the rocker, on
the other hand. would pass safely over.
When the appointed hour arrived and
the man appeared, far away at the
head Of the slide, all present held their
breath. It did not seem possible that
he could make that fearful descent in
safety. and a majority of those present
looked for him to pitch over the low
sides and to be killed in the fall With
hardly moments delay he started. At
first he seemed to move slowly, and then
his speed rapidly increased. Everybody
waited for the fall that did not come.
Sttffly erect, that black figure descended
quickly, and yet more quickly. Half way
down his speed was So great that it
seemed to the onlookers beyond human
endurance for him to retain his balance
longer, Yet, flying faster and ever
standing erect. he held on until he
struck the level at the foot Shooting
out on this like a cannon ball, he cross
ed to the soft snow like streak OF
light. Then his speed materially de-
creased, and when MS snow-cIogged
skates finally pitched him headlong he
received no injury. He was up in a trice
without assistance, and his first words
were request for drink. About TWEEN
ty were handed him. Beyond a slight
pallos he showed no sign of the great
