the employees of said mines from going to
or from said mines and coke plants or
from engaging in the business of mining in
said mines or laboring upon said coke
plants.
The purpose of this restraining order
Judge Keller says, is to prevent unlawful
combinations or conspiracies and TO re-
strain all of the defendants engaged in the
promotion of such unlawful combinations
and eonspiracies and all other persons
from entering upon the properties Of the
coal companies named in this order. and
from in any way interfering with the en-
ployes ef said coal companies or either Of
them in their mining operations and manu-
featuring of coke, either within the mines
or upon the coke-oven plants, or from pass
ing from their homes TO their mines and
coke-oven plants or from the mines and
coke-oVen plants to their homes, and from
in any manner unlawfully inciting persons
who are engaged in working In the said
mines or the said coke-oven plants to cease
work therein, and from unlawfully prevent
ing persons who desire to work in said
mines or upon said coke-oven plants en-
tertng into such services for the said de-
fendant coal companies, and from in any
way aiding and abetting such acts as may
result in the violation and destruction OF
the rights of the complainant under its con-
tracts, as recited in the bill herein.
The motion for permanent injunction is
set down for hearing at Charleston, No
vember Is, 1902. The court appears to have
taken no cognizance of the request to have
the defendant coal companies force the de-
fendant individual to vacate the tenement
houses.

Excellence was claimed out of the race by
w. McLemore, the owner Of DR.. Clark. for
1850. Michaels told the stewards about
Burns rough riding. but they did not ap-
pear to think that the result of the race
was in any way affected, and 1t is. indeed.
unlikely that Prince Richard could have
won, though, IL let alone, he might have
been In the money.
Mackey Dwyer was much too good for
the lot opposed to him. and won in a gallop
by four or five lengths. never giving his
hackers uneasiness. II. T. Griffin started a
horse by the name of Frank Karrick, who Is
getting to be known as "the joke horse" 3"
No matter what the company or the size
of the field this horse always runs last But
his presence in the race enables his owner
to claim other horses If he sees any he
wants.
Mr.. keene's Gimcrack. an Ornament colt.
made his second start of the season in the
second race, and won cieverly by length.
The lightweight handicap went to Redpath.
who at last appears to have rounded into
form.
Lawrence Waterbury's colors were carried
to victory by Swiftmas in the third race,
the old horse carrying the top weight and
winning by three lengths.

Grand Circuit Trotting.

The grand circuit races at Columbus yes
terday were tame, but there was large
attendance and considerable speculation
The feature of the afternoons racing was
the POI pace. In the overnight pooling
Riley B. was a hot favorite, selling at $50
to S25 for a field of five. Just before the
race he became sick and was withdrawn.
G. F. w. was also withdrawn. leaving only
four to score. Fanny billiard was made
the favorite in the new books at $25 to
$40 The mare won the first heat with ease
in 2.0514, lowering her record a full Sec
ond. In the second heat she broke badly
in the first turn and barely beat the flag,
the heat going to Major Muscovite in 2oSA.
Before the third heat there was a very
heavy play on the field to beat Fanny Dill
lard, who brought s15 to s25. The Judges
decided to take Snow down from behind
the mare and substitute McHenry. The
latter could not be found, however, and
Scott Hudson refused to drive the hobbled
PAGER. After much deliberation Snow was
allowed to drive, and he brought the Dill
lard mare home winner by a neck over
The Bishop, who made a try for the heat
after Major Muscovite had died away.

CoMIsKEY's VIEW.
Chicago Magnate Expresses Himself
on the Baltimore Deal.

On Tue od1IlIlOT0 De8l.
Charles Augustus Comiskey can hand out
a hot one when in the mood. He felt that
way the other day when asked his views of
the Baltimore coup. Said he:
II think it is the cheapest play 1 ever
saw pulled off in base ball, and the men
who did it will find out I am right before
they get through with it. Why, that deal
will do the American League lot of good
and cannot help the National. They have
rid us, without any blame attaching to our
shoulders, of the worst bunch that ever
broke into base ball. and of men who have
been menace to the american League ever
since we took them In.
s'McGraw and Stallings tried to sell out
to the old league last year, but were caught
red-handed THEN they got down on their
knees and begged for forgiveness. We have
known we had traitors there all along, but
could not get rid of them without trouble.
Now the National has cleared the way for
US Ban johnson has been tipped off all
along just how things were going, and was
nreuared for 1t. We will go right ahead
and give the Baltimore public lot better
base ball than McGraw or Kelley could
ever give it. We have made a base ball
town out of Cleveland after the old league
methods killed it. Is there any reason why
we can't do the same by Baltimore? The
American League had the National League
all down and out last winter and they
know it. Both factions were trying to lean
on us. and we could have killed the Ma
tional League by saying the word. 1t has
always been the good of the game with the
American League, but 1t is always extermi-
nation and self-nterest with the National.
So long as we deliver the goods to the pub
lie 1t will be with us

Base Ball Notes,

A bad start makes good ending
When the Senators don't hit there Is
nothing doing"
Mr.. Orth is dropping back as the Sena-
tors star pitcher and willie" Carrick is
becoming quite prominent.
The game scheduled for Chicago yester-
day between the Champions and Orioles was
postponed on account Of wet grounds.
The Senators take another try at the De-
troits this afternoon, and perhaps Mr.. Jack
Townsend will lead his companions to vic
tory.
Twirler Mullin has been doing exception
ally good work for the Detroits this season,
the games that he has lost being by narrow
margins OF one or two runs. Mullin says
he likes Washington.
Delehanty played the first base position
without an error yesterday, and 1t seems
as If he can't be coupled up wrong. He is
certainly the idol Of the Washington fans"
Never before in his career has Herman
Long played such game as he is putting
up this season. In the last ten games he
has had 103 chances and has made only one
error.
In Philadelphia they say Fogel made a
great effort to sign Lajoie. They say Larry
went to bed dazed when Horace pointed out
to him how great an electric sign over q
Broadway resort reading "Lajoie & Foger'
would look.
Cleveland's victories yesterday and the
day before over Boston and Chicago did the
Athletics lots OF good.
1t seems hardly possible that John T.
Brush will sell his interest in the Cincinnati
team unless he is assured OF acquiring the
ajority Of stock in the New York team.
John wants the prestige Of q team behind
him to make him the powerful factor he is
in the National League.
The McGraw episode will result In some
sensational changes this winter. An Amer
lean League man "in the know says New
York will surely have an American League
club next year.

by the one-sided score of to 1. The day
was dark and drzzling rain fell, which
kept the attendance down in the hundreds,
That clever left-hander, Mr.. Mullin was
on the rubber for Detroit, and he kept the
senatorial sluggers guessing from the start
till the close of the game. But two hits
were made off his delivery, single each
by the veterans of the team, Ryan and
Ely. The solitary run scored by the
Washingtons was the result Of an error
and little luck.

gone out, Wyatt Lee reached first in safe

Catcher Buelow made a quick recovery OF
the ball. Umpire Connolly allowed Lee to
come home on account of the sphere being
blocked.
This was the only bright spot in the Sen
ators' long line of ciphers, as they imme-
diately resumed the no-run business and
kept it up till the contest was closed.
Albert Orth was the Senators pitcner,
and his curves were once more hit hard
and often This made the third straight
defeat that has come Orth's way, and he
is about due for a substantial string OF
victories. Back of Orth the Senators field
ed well, Delehanty playing first in clever
style. while Doyle, Ely and Coughlin killed
off hits with commendable precision. The
feet-footed sprinters of the Tigers took
great liberties with Catcher Clarke 8
