The general situation tonight can be
briefly summarized as follows:
Ten men. five of them skilled, quit at
the lower Union Mill of the Carnegie

the strikers. Their detection represented
the first break in the Carnegie forces of
more than $4,000 men. The strikers were
jubiant over the incident, but the COM

at once and that there will be no more

Smith was in fine form and with the
exception of an i9excusable error by

game and covered his position skillful-
ly. The outfield never missed a single
opportunity and the infield played in
good form.
There were, however, several errors
and they occurred when Charlotte made
the most of them. In fact, the game
