McAleer Discusses the Prospects.

While Manager McAleer was somewhat
disappointed over not being able to play
yesterday, he was still in good humor
enough to talk about his team to an Even
ing Star reporter. Said he:
This is our final trip into the eastern
country, and 1 have at last got the boys
into the shape for which they are noted. 1t
has been fierce struggle for the Browns
to work up into first place, but it will take
herculean efforts for us to stay there. L
am confident that my men, who are better
roadsters than the White Sox, will keep
ahead OF Comiskey's band on this trip.
However, l am expecting to see Boston
and Philadelphia put up remarkable stand
on their home grounds. When We return
home, August Is l expect that we may be
third to the two eastern clubs and ahead of
Chicago.
The margin should be some three or four
games, and by September Is l look to see
us at the top of the heap. Once in front
the gamest in the American League and the
best fortified for a bruising race down the
stretch.
''I will be perfectly content If we win six
of the twelve games we are to play in the
east. An even split is all that l am count
ing upon, and there is no reason why we
shouldn't get it.
Getting an even break in the luck from
now on we are bound to fly the flag at the
end of the campaign. OF course, should
such valuable player as Wallace get in
jured, or one Of our pitchers, say Powell
or Donahue, become incapacitated from
further slab duty, 1t would hurt lot and
very likely throw us out Of the running.
However. an even break isn't much to
hope for and getting it there will be no
stopping us when once we get in front.
wallace I consider the grandest bali
player in the profession at the present
time. He has improved 100 per cent since
the days he played with the old Clevelands.
Those plays back of third that he is pull
ing off all the time shows how skilled he
is. The average shortstop is tickled to
death when he knocks down one of those
raps. Wallace not only gets them, but
follows the stop up with a throw.
plays behind the second pillow he makes
with so much ease that the fans hardly
applaud him any more for them. Another
player turning the same play would make
it look difficult and be cheered to the echo
.'Padden is playing the game of his life.
His second base play has been well nigh
faultless, and he has done his share of the
sticking. Mccormick and Anderson have
helped out a whole lot. Both men are
playing at an improved rate of speed this
summer.
Neither Burkett nor Heidrick has struck
his batting clip yet. If they go at q
400 clip from now on the work of our
pitchers VIII be all the easier. HemphiIl is
hitting hard. but in tough luck. However
he is sure to pile up 800 on the season.

AMERICAN LEAGUE MEETING.
Directors Confer at Cleveland on I'm
portant Business


A meeting of the board of directors of the
American League was held at the Hollen-
den Hotel in Cleveland yesterday the ses-
sion lasting nearly five hours. The meet
ing was called by President Ban Johnson
for the purpose of discussing the future
plans of the league and to make a report
on the season as far as it has gone. The
meeting was purely an executive one, and
no one other than the committee, except
vice president Charles w. Somers, was al
lowed in the room.
All members of the board were present.
They are Messrs B. F. Shibe of Philadel-
phia, H. J. Killilea Of Boston, Charles A
Comiskey of Chicago and John F. kilfoyIe
of Cleveland.
When asked if anything had been done
President Johnson said that lot of unf1n-
ished business had been cleaned up and
only the business of the league was fixed
up. I'VE only discussed the questions of
the hour and cleaned everything up, and
found that the American League is stronger
than ever In looking over my books the
other day 1 found out that the American
League had drawn over 100000 more people
up to August 1 than at the same time last
year. This speaks for itself where We
stand with the people" Discussing the
amalgamation story sent out from Chicago
Mr.. Johnson said:
There is absolutely no chance for an
amalgamation between the American Base
Ball League and the National League We
are not at present engaged in picking up
dead timber. Business during the past two
years has prospered as it never prospered
before and the American League has
reaped the benefit of that prosperity.
Last winter the National League gave
us the opportunity to amalgamate and alb
sorb that organization. but we refused to
do so, believing that the best interests of
base ball could be served by the operation
of two major leagues"
The other members of the committee all
denied the amalgamation story

DEPUTIES FIRE ON STRIKERS.
Two Miners Wounded in a Fight at
Duryea.

A dispatch from Wilkesbarre, Pa. yester-
day afternoon says:
A riot occurred at the Warnke washery
at Duryea this afternoon. Trouble had
been brewing since early morning Before
o'clock 800 men and boys collected about
the place and threatened to interfere with
those who wanted to go to work. Sheriff
Jacobs had a number of deputies on the
ground, and they held the crowd back The
works were started up but remained in
operation only a short time. The crowd on
the outside threw stones over the stockade
at the deputies who were on guard inside
Several times the deputies were tempted to
fire. Rather than have any trouble work
was suspended for the time being.
The deputy sheriffs returned to Wilkes
barre early this afternoon. reporting all
quiet at the washery when they left They
had hardly reached Wilkesbarre, however
when the deputies on guard were attacked.
Several men in the mob also attempted to
climb over the barricade. The deputies
warned them to go back, and when they
did not d volley was fired, but the most of
the bullets went high into the air. Harry
Collins was shot through the right leg.
Andrew Marlack, a Lithuanian. received
flesh wound, and another foreigner I'D

coat. colored man employed at the wash
cry, thinking his life was in danger. es-
capped from the barricade and ran down the
street. He was pursued by an angry crowd,
who cried, Hang him. Hang him!" The
man was finally run down, but before any
harm could befall him a number of con-
stables rescued him.
Deputy sheriffs from LuZerne and Lack
awanna counties went to the scene of the
rioting, but when they arrived all was
quiet. the mob having dispersed. An eye
witness says the attack, the shooting and
the retreat did not last more than five min
utes.
Warrants were sworn out before the bur
CESS, charging the deputies with rioting
and feloniously wounding. The constables
went to the washery and placed twenty
five men under arrest. They were ARA igned
before Burgess Burlington tonight and held
in $1,000 bail each. They could not furnish
bail, and were brought to the county jail
here.
The United Mine Workers say the shoot
ing was uncalled for and the deputies alone
are to blame Vice President Rescavage of
the miners union of the district No. SAYS
the deputies were in an ugly mood all day
Sheriff Jacobs of Luzerne county is in
Hazleton. The Office here is in charge of
Chief Deputy Rhodda. He denied a report
which gained currency tonight that Sheriff
Jacobs had applied to Gov. Stone for troops
He says all is quiet a Duryea now. and he
does not expect any further trouble. II it
washery again the sheriff will have a
guard strong enough to preserve order and
give enough protection TO those who want
to go to work.
Sheriff Jacobs arrived from Hazleton To-
night, and at once went to Duryea, where
he will spend the night. The operators Of
the washery say they will not start up the
works tomorrow, as some unknown person
wrecked the machinery during the excite
ment following the rioting this afternoon.

SITUATION IN WEST VIRGINIA.
State Troops Would Not Report to
Coal Operators

CHARLESTON, w. Va, August 90
When the state troops reached Thurmond
to preserve order and protect property in
the mine region a request was made of
Assistant Adjutant General Hutsou, in
command. to report to the operators at
Rush Run for instructions. He refused
point blank and said he was there with
troops to act under Instructions from the
sheriff of the county to preserve order and
not TO take instructions from operators
Sheriff Daniel then took three companies
and the signal corps to Rush Run to guard
the public roads and protect people. The
remainder of the troops bivouacked at
ThUrmond.
No outbreak of any kind occurred today
The governors private secretary, General
BoSgs, reported minutely to the governor
at noon that the utmost quiet is prevailing
but he confirms the necessity for troops on
the ground. The entire strength of the
regiment now at Thurmond is not quite
$50 1t would be entirely inadequate in
case of violence. The output in the New
river field yesterday was $500 TONS about
one-tonth of the usual amount
