MEN MAY WORK NINE HOURS.
Sheet Mill Union Men Hold a conven. ton in Pittsburg of Importance.

Pittsburg, Pa. August 31.-The result of the convention today of the sheet mill lodges of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers will proba- bly, bring about decision that the men work nine hours instead of eight as at present and the output the same of each turn A vote will be taken tomorrow.
 The convention met today with 27O del- egates from as many lodges.
 The union mills are nearly all idle while the non-union mills are working. The manufacturers say that with a restric- ton on the output the cost of production is greater than with the limit removed For this reason the non-union mills have an advantage of the union mills and are turning out nearly all the sheet steel that Is being manufactured.
 The question of opening up all the non- union mills was not discussed at today s meeting. This action will be the last re- sort to bring about a better condition of the industry.

 Away By a Mob.

Guthrie, Okla, August Ex-Governor Ferguson has received letter from As- sistant Secretary of State Loomis, inelos- ing a letter from A. B. Raikes, British consul at Newport R. l., asking for full investigation of the David s. Brown case.
 Brown is a Canadian-born subject and with his family settled on a quarter sec tion of land in Cheyenne and Araphoe dis trict and declares his intention of becom- Ing an-American citizen. He alleges that a mob on August T. 1895, drove his fam fly away, burning his dwelling and stole his cattle and horses. With his family he fled to Kingfisher, Okla, where he has since resided. The grand jury indict- ed a number of persons. They were tried and found not guilty, it being held that Brown was still a British subject, and thus the courts had no right to pass on the case. Brown has appealed several times to the British embassy, and 1t is believed that he will seek indemnity for damages sustained.

On "Why Teams Show Poor Form on the Road" Charles Dryden of the PhiIa delphia North American, has this to say.
 "one phase of the playing season which always bothers the loyal fanatic is why the average team wins at home and loses everything but It's franchise on the road. There must be a reason for this change of form, and one as good as any is that the players eat too much. This is not saying they are starved at home. On the contrary, they live well, but the change from home and boarding house fare Is different, and morning exercise is out of the question on the circuit.
 Take a sober, well-trained athlete away from his roast beef and vegetables and turn loose among the table d'hote music and finger bowls of a first-class ho- tel, and his appetite runs away with him Any one is prone to overdo the menu in case of this kind and doesn't realize how much food he has taken on until the waiter pulls the table agay to give him room to rise.
 With a great many varietits-including the HIIy-SeNen--LO4 tempt nln, Anu eaunB to Jig time music, the hungry. robust athlete can scarcely be blamed sor up holstering himself with watermelon, koup, Ice cream, fish, pie and deviled crabsA He feels more In the mood for hibernat tng than going to work, and not infrequen E he appears upon the field and plays ba n like a sofa cushion
 "As a rule, the travelling player arises late. He crawls out at or 10 a. m, takes n large breakfast and a larger luncheon or dinner two hours later. All teams are alike in this respect and these remarks do not apply exclusively to the Athletics, with whom we have made three happy cruises around the stormy circuit
 Some pla CTS cut out the monday meal, but thu majority take the limit at the regular hours and eat some more be- fore going to bed, all of which tends to throw the system out of gear. Long night rides, loss of sleep and the discom- forts of hotel life are wearing on the athlete, and consequently the general eff fectiveness of a team Is not up to the standard on the road

WHY BASEBALL TEAMS
 LOSE AWAY FROM HOME

Another restless idea possesses the travelling player. He imagines he might miss an interesting spectacle If he went in and sat down. So he stands hour after on the stone pavement in front of the ho- tel until his spine becomes ossified and his legs are dead to the world
 There is nothing to see, and the player knows it as well as anybody but he re- mains ever on the alert, which is human nature we suppose
 ''At home he would rest with his fami- ly or visit friends. On the road he has no special calling places, so he does the back-breaking act on the sidewalk watching street cars and cabs go by as something odd and refreshing to look at. Between times he eats and increases the burden he holds up on the sidewalk.
 "Should you take the trouble to rubber around the hotels, you will see visiting teams doing the same thing in the fore noon and evening. They either stand at the curb or hold up awning posts and building fronts, occasionally shifting to one leg when the other grows numb.
 Tn some cities, the hotel porter places chairs along the curb, and the athletes sit and smoke and see the world in com fort. Not being quite so fatigued, the teams play better ball In the chair towns.
 Not Many Players~Drnk.
 These few sidelights on eating and standing the long curbstone watch will, we hope, dispel the old drink superstition. When team comes back from a disas- trous tour the wise rooter wants to know, on the quiet, how many of the fellows were hitting 1t up or if they were all boozed It is either alleged dissipation or internal strife that makes the team go wrong.
 "Very few players these days daily with the drink, beyond a glass or two of beer, rsot enough to impair the league, and in ternal strife" generally is limited to na- lures Greco Roman wrestling match with hearty meals.
 "Aiy one who has travelled much can appreciate the discomforts of life on the road, yet the average crank thinks the job one, grand picnic. Of course, all i teams do not blow up on the circuit, but their genenal usefulness is not so great. The Boston outfit is an exception, and the only way tofaceount for an excellent road record is that New England thrift impels the Boston pilyers. to eat sparingly, even though it costt them nothing"

To meet just such necessities
there has been established a
brain market with headquarters

This novel institution is really a
high-grade employment agency,
although it has as much in COM
