A GENERAL STRIKE 1
Ironworkers Vote to Fight
Labor Battle to Bitter End.
AIMED At IRON LEAGUE EMPLOYERS

Order Goes Forth For Strike Today,
and 1t Is Expected to Affect
Ir0nworkers In Large Git
les All Over the Country.
NEW YORK, Nov Before Sam
Parks closed his eyes in Sing Sing pris-
on members of his union had assembled
in Maennerchor hall and voted to call
general strike of ironworkers all over
the country today. The fight will be
conferred in New York, but will affect
all cities in the United States where
members of the Iron league are em-
ploying men. The strike will be called
this morning.
This action was taken under the di-
rection Of Frank Buchanan, president
of the international Association of
Structural Ironworkers. who made the
announcement when the meeting was
over. ...
Mr.. Buchanan stated that the local
and executive committees Of the IRON
workers had made repeated efforts to
come to an agreement with their en-
ployers in New York, but that they had
been turned down. at every point
"and now said he, sit is fight to a
finish
Parks influence, he said, had nothing
to do with the decision to strike Buch-
anan and members of the national and
local committees have had repeated
conferences with the Iron league in
this city, but nothing has been accom-
plished in the direction of peace. Yes
terday, according to Mr.. Buchanan's
statement, final effort was made, but
the attitude Of the employers became
SO antagonistic that all hope of set
tlement was abandoned, and the union
voted unanimously last night to fight to
finish.

visit to the western MaSSaCnuS6CtS

before the opening of the American
league season have caused considerable
dissension and ill feeling among the
managers in the Massachusetts league.
The Springfield Union says:
A funny condition of affairs has
come to pass in the Western Massa.
chusetts Basketball league and it is
likely that a league meeting will be
called for Sunday to straighten out the
tangle. The trouble came last night
when Manager M. W. HuIivan of
ThompsonvilIe used Charlie and Henry
Martens and Florence Haggerty in the
game against Westfeld. Manager
Hullivan showed last night a letter
from President Morrissey which warn
ed him not to use Charlie Martens in
the game, but he says he feels he was
justified in his action by the methods
used by other managers.
Mr. Hullivan said that he had asked
Henry Martens to play for him in
Northampton, Wednesday night. and
had received the permission of Mana
ger NJ. e. Hickey of Springfield,
whose property the Martens are, ac-
cording to the rules of the league
When he arrived in Northampton he
found Henry Martens ready to play
for Northampton, and says he was toio
by the player that Tom Dowd had III
formed him he could not play any
where excepting, with Northampton
According to Mr. Hullivan, Martens
said Hickey was present and oftered
no objections when DoWd made the as
sertion.
Last night Hickey denied ever hav-
ing said that Henry Martens must
play with Northampton if he is to play
with fhis league. He said he mad
given Manager Hullivan permission
to do business with Henry, but had
stipulated tnat Charlie Martens was
to play with Springfield, or not in the
Western Massachusetts league. H1ck-
ev now says he will put the whole
matter I'D to the league for decision,
and will abide by whatever action is
taken.
In the meantime the players that
the Western Massachusetts league
managers have been dickering with
will go to Meriden to-day. according
to their own announcements. These
men are Kennedy, Haggerty, Charlie
and Henry Martens. They all say
they are going to stay with Meriden.
The Meriden players have been jol-
lying the managers of the Massachu-
sets league.
McKeon's only fault is that he is a
little timid about roughing it. He is
somewhat afraid Of mixing it up. 1t
he should overcome this fault he win

The opening game in this city will
be played on next Tuesday night
when New Haven will appear here.

HIGH PRICED FOOTBALL.

Ihe system of admission to the most
important football games of the sea
son has been open to vigorous adverse
criticism for many years. Football is
not only a sport but an imposing f1nan-
cial machine, whose receipts and ex-
penditures at the leading universities
rival that of many extensive business
concerns. When $4,000 or $4,000 is
taken in as admission money for one
game, the profits, by their magnitude,
most unpleanatly overshadow the
sport for sports sake spirit, and the
public has room for complaint in more
ways than one. 1t is true that the ex-
pehses of manufacturing a champion
ship eleven are also enormous, and
that the large surplus remaining at the
end of the season is used to maintain
other branches of competitive sport
which are not self-supporting.

championship of British Columbia.
Godfrey stood terrific punishment in

the. end OF the ninth his seconds threw
up the sponge to avoid a Knockout.
Bob Eitzsimmons is preparing to
begin active training for his fight with
George Gardner in San Francisco on
Thanksgiving eve. 'Fitzsimmons has
engaged big Joe Kennedy of California
to assist him. Kennedy was Cham
pion Jim Jeffries's sparring partner
when the latter trained for his fight
with Lanky Bob, and he also boxed a
while with the champion when he was
fitting himself for his go with Corbett.
Kennedy IS not a scientific boxer. but
fights much on the style of Gardner,
and should be of much help to the
old man of Bensonhurst
The richest thing in pugilism for
some time is the announcement that
Joe Cans proposes to draw the color
line and will, in the future, box none
but white men, says the Buffalo Times.
The statement comes in all seriousness
from Philadelphia, where the pro-
moters are using Cans some and are
anxious to use him more. He has
turned down two or three matches late
ly offered because his proposed op-
ponents were negroes. Were it not for
the fact that he is easily the best man
in the world at his weight, and that he
has never lodged the issue, it might be
supposed that the effort to match Wal
colt with him had something to do
with Gans's attempt to dodge boys of
his own color. Cans manager. Al
~Ierford, is so fond of using black boys
in the ring that he killed boxing in
Baltimore last winter through Just this
thing. Any tough colored lad could
get on. and there were so many black
fighters in Baltimore that the streets
weren't safe for white people. So the
police stopped the game.

quacious about what happened to him
