sions at st, Louis.

A dispatch from st. Louis, Mo-, SAYS:
The work Of the fiftieth annual convention
Of the International Typographical Union,
which adjourned Saturday, resulted in the
complete revision Of many Of the general
laws embodied in the constitution that will
have far-reaching effect on the printers
trade.
The action favoring the eight-hour day
stands out pre-eminently. If the referen-
dunn to which this proposition has been
submitted for final decision concurs with
the convention. as the delegates believe it
will, $4,000 union printers throughout Can
ada and the United States will be affected.
1t Is provided that the law shall go into
effect January l, 1906 and a fund is to be
raised by assessment to pay the expense
Of q strike II 1t should be found necessary
to resort to such a measure
Consideration of the report of the COM
mittee on laws was resumed, when favora-
BILE action was taken by the convention on
the proposition to provide for the admins
tering OF obligations by certificates to new
members outside the Jurisdiction of subor-
dinate unions. making more stringent the
present law relative to abuse and vitu-
providing a standard for linotype matrices,
and providing that provisional members
may use the union label.
The conventions action in voting to sus-
tain q foreman in discharging an alleged
incompetent establishes a PRECEDENT which,

working In any department of a union
printing Office to be absolutely competent
to perform the work required Of him.

JEFFRIEs A BIG FAvoRITE
Little Money is Being Wagered on Jack
Munroe.

champion James ]. Jeffries and Jack
Munroe, who seeks the Los Angeles mans
crown. are reported to be fast rounding
to form for their approaching fight.
NO two giants of the prize ring ever
trained so hard or consistently as are this
pair at the present time. says San Fran
cisco dispatch to the Philadelphia North
American.
Jefrries Is fairly burning the roads in the
vicinity Of his quarters, at Hardin Springs.
and there seems to be no let-up to his in
door work The big fellow has taken it
into his head that fighter cannot get too
much outdoor exercise, and moonlight runs
have been added to his program.
AS the date for the battle approaches
Munroe shows some signs Of anxiety. He
is nervous. and the fact that Kid Mccoy
has not arrived has displeased him greatly
The miner has great faith in Mccoy. and
is confident that he will win If the famous
Kid Will only be on hand to second him.
Mccoy wired that ne would be on hand
Friday. but had not put in an appearance
yesterday
The indications are that the fight will
not draw as largely as the promoters hope
for. Jeffries rules a big favorite. There
are few ring followers to be found who are
willing to take the Munroe short end. 1t
Is the general opinion that the fight will be
a short one, and that Jeffries can win In
any round he chooses
Since the postponement of the fight both
men have taken good care OF themselves
and at this time are fit to fight In day
notice. Munroe looks the picture OF health.
and Jeffries is sound as dollar. He
has no trouble from hts knee, and says he
will train carefully in order to avoid &C
cidents.

Winning Rally by st. Stephens.

The st. Stephens boys defeated the Mt.
Pleasant Congregational team yesterday
at Van Ness Park by the score Of IL to 10.
After the game seemed hopelessly lost. st.
Stephens started batting rally in the
seventh inning and won out by scoring
ten runs in this inning. The trouble start
ed when Duffy reached first by being hit
by a pitched ball, and this coupled with
two errors and eight safe drives caused the
downfall of the Congregauonalists.
Mt. Pleasant, after being blanked In the
first, took the lead in the second inning by
scoring six runs, and held a commanding
lead after this until the fatal seventh.
when Thorpe, who toed the rubber for his
team, was pounded at will. He was relieved
by Scheckeles in this inning. but he. was
called upon when it was too late to save the
game.
Mcknight. who was the slant artist for
st. Stephens, held down his opponents to
seven hits. Poor support behind him was
responsible for several runs scored by the
Congregational team. Myers was RESPONSE
BILE for four of the seven errors charged
against his team.
Kicker carried off the batting honors for
the st. Stephens, getting three safe drives

Fourth Defeats Gurley in Good Game.

The first large crowd for several weeks
turned out on the Mount Pleasant grounds
yesterday to witness the Fourth Presbyte-
rian team play the Gurleys. and saw a
good game Fourth winning out by to3.
From the first both teams were on their
toes. both knowing that the winning side
would have to play ball. and every good
play brought the enthusiasm of the crowd
into evidence
The Fourth team started in run-g getting
in the fourth inning. Then the poor work
of Brush on the second sack for the Tigers
became evident. He did not seem to be
able to handle the easiest chances and
several times made bad errors in judg-
ment.
Thomas was in the game from the start
on the third sack. scoring two of the three
runs that Gurley made on neat, timely
two-bagger, with two men on bases, in the
eighth; the other run was made off triple
steal engineered by Wynkoop from the
second sack. The bases being full he
drew the throw and succeeded in getting
Thomas home. then stole third, allowing
the man on first to advance to second
This is the only triple steal on the records
of the league, and, in fact is quite a rec
ord in amateur base ball circles of Wash
ington.
Beall, after his sojourn at Colonial Beach,
was back in the game. and his play of the
backstops position seemed to inspire his
team mates to put up the game of ball
they have been playing most of the sea-
son. Score:

team had slight trouble in covering the
Mt Pleasant Methodist boys with coat
Of whitewash on the White Lot yesterday
afternoon. defeating them by the score of
8 to o.
A pretty triple play in the first inning
saved the champions from being scored
upon. With none out and the bases filled,
on kerr's drive to Harding in left the side
was retired In quick order by series of
fast plays. the most prominent of which
was "Pap's" throw home catching Brown
at the plate. After this excitement the
Presbyterians settled down. and through
Hutchinsons excellent performance In the
box only one of the Methodists managed to
get to second in the remaining eight in

a hit.
