Mr. Shaffer said l4lat the manufacture

conditions which surround the men. San

were fifty years ago, he said. On the
question of hours Of labor, Mr.. Shat

FOOLED THE cow PUNCHERs.
Mitchell on Mike the Tramp Pulled
Down Big Money.

Since the return of Geo. H. Ke.cham,
with his champion trotter Cresceus, 1t
has leaked out that Cresceus is not en-
titled to all the honors of the recent
campaign His running mate, Mike the
Tramp gathered in a laurel or two.
When Cresceus trotted at Tucson, Ariz.,
the event was followed by a running
race between cowboys on their own
horses, the first prize to be $25. 1t was
an event for fun and, big side betting
The enries came from all over the cOun-
try, and none of the cowboys knew one
horse from another.
When the time came for the mustang
race there We're mighty few in the crowd
who recognized, under clever DISCUSSES
Mike the Tramp, with eddie Mitchell on
his back Mike had been hurriedly fit
ted out with a highpummeled, loudly
decorated. feathered and beaded Mexican
saddle, with tremendously big stirrups,
and the diminutive rider wore a SOM
brero, tasseled and tinseled and at the
proper angle. He had provided himself
with a blood-curdling whoop. The cow
boys didn't know Mike the Tramp, and
they guyed the rider and horse
Over $1,000 was put up by hackers of
Mike the Tramp and the booklets We're
nit for thousands. Some began to mis-
trust something was up late in the game
and wiped Mike the Tramp off their
states.
With the horses off Eddie Mitchell
held Mike the Tramp well out in the CEN
ter Of the track, second in the race, with
q big raw-boned frontersman, in a red
shirt, setting the pace. 1t was evidently
the purpose of the leader to set the pace
all the way around, having confidence
in the endurance of his horse. But the
others began to creep up nearer. The
Tramp under a double wrap and the
bunch sped on about the first turn and
into the stretch on about even terms
Mike the Tramp swung wide at the
turn, a trick he learned long ago in hi
r0mps with Cresceus. 1t was a yelling
WhOoping, bowling crowd that saw them
fight it out. There wasn't anything to
it. so far as first money was concerned
when the stretch was reached Mike tn
Tramp swung wide, and, with nothing
but the shouting crowds in front of him
ate up the distance like Cresceus coming
down the l. st quarter at Columbus last
summer. OF course Eddie Mitchell won
first money, and a few dollars on the
side. The red-shirted rider got second

NO TRUCE DECLARED

Club League, but the American
League Desires -'eace
in Baseball.

CHICAGO, Jan. 19.-President Ban
Johnson, of the American Baseball league,
stated today that no truce in the base
ball war was declared at his recent con-
ference with A. G. Spalding.
- met Mr.. Spalding," said President
johnson, simply as matter of cour-
teSy to him. 1t was nothing more than
>an exchange of personal views Mr..
SIalGing represented no baseball organi-
cation, and in consequence L could not
treat with him at all in my official ca
pacity. The American league cannot
ueat with any fCur-club league. 1t has
alNays cOntendeG that the public wants
TWO big Leagues, however, and as soon
as the National league settles its differ
epces and comes to US as united body
we will be able to work with them for
peace in baseball.
- do not know that this proposed con-
ference at Buffalo for the consiSerat ton
of the playing rules will ever be held.
l am now waiting to get the opinion of
the American league club owners on the
proposition
This meeting, however, if it should take
pace. would not signify any combination
or alliance with any faction. The Freed
man faction Of the National league. or
Hickey, Of the American association,
would be just as welcome to that con-
fer ence as would the representatives of
Spalding or Powers. The public wants
uniform rules for the government of the
games. and that would be the sole aim
OF sCch a conference.

Freedman, Mr.. Brush states that he went
to the New York man after discussing
the feasibility of the plan with Robson,
Hart. Soden and Conant in an endeaVor
TO bring about harmony and concert in
the ranks of the league. after Freedman
had fairly been ostracised. Of his ac-
complishment Mr.. Brush states: Il did
not carry the olive branch to Mr.. Freed
man. for he met me with one before
had gone half the distance
Concerning the Red Bank conference
and thu trust scheme that was Matched
that day Mr.. Brush states that form
of consolidation was discussed-not, how
ever, in the sense of a trust as the term
is commonly understood, but a consolida-
ton or community Of interests that would
preserve the individuality of the club,
and at the same time permit the board
OF control to carry out any measure noe
essary for the good Of che entire organ
