The rumor that strike OF boiler.

up to the present time remained
unverihed. The date set for the
strike was last Friday. but moth.
ing occurred in La Junta that day

ed at this time.
The main reason why such .
strike would not be advisable on
the part of the boilermakers at the
present time is said by Santa Fe
officials 70 be because .here are SO
many men out OF employment.
The fact that many eastern roads
are dispensing with many Of their
boilermakers and sending their
engines into the Baldwin Locomo-
tive works for repairs, is said to
have created an over supply Of
laborers- The Baldwin shops ere
now short OF building work and
are taking in the repair work Of

York National league team was after.
His parents reside at Lancaster. Pa. q.
Pitcher Charley Case, VINO was with
Rock Island last season, has been sold
by Springfield to the Pittsburg Ma
tionals. He will join the Pirates at
once. Camnitz. late of the Cotton
States league, who has proven too
light for Pittsburg, figures in the deal,
and viii report to Manager DonneIly
of Springfield. 1t is the belief of the
admirers of Case that he viii make
good in the National. He is a heady
pitcher and a seasoned player. He
has followed the game long enough to
have learned all its fine points and
has been around enough not to shy
at the tall buildings.
Since the change in the management
of the local team there have been all
sorts of stories passing among the
dope artists relative to the future of
Ross Thornton. One was 10 the effect
that he was TO be sold to one of the
major leagues and another that he was
TO be traded TO Decatur for Roxy Wal
ters, both of which are groundless.
Rock Island reluctantly would part
with the services of Thornton, who is
probably without a peer as a fielder
in the Three-Eye league, but would
not stand in the way of his advance
ment. if he had opportunity to better
himself. President Sexton mas had
some correspondence with a Western
league club in reference TO a trade for
Thornton, but nothing has come of it
as yet. The Western pays better sal
aries than the Three-Eye, and natur
ally Thornton is anxious 10 take ad-
vantage of any opening that the local
association may arrange for him in
faster company. His salary here con-
tinues the same as when he was man
ager. A deal was on to trade him to
Colorado Springs for catcher and he
was offered $165 a month, but declined
the place.
