BARNES BEAT ATHERToN.

Springfield. June 29.-Jim Barnes won two falls from Ed Atherton of El- mira Heights, N. Y., in the catch-as- catch-can match in Graves hall last night. Barnes won $20O stake and the entire net gate receipts. About 500 attended.
 Atherton's weight was announced as 15Ik pounds. Barnes admitted that he weighed 161, but said that he had taken on flesh rapidly after ceaslng hard work.
 The first fall was led up to by some of the fastest work ever seen In this section. Atherton used leg holds clev- .erly and had his opponent in danger several times. Barnes spun out of some holds which seemed too stout to be broken.
 After 10 minutes. Barnes got q crotch hold and was bearing Atherton down steadily, when the middleweight crack broke away and got half-nelson on Barnes so quickly that the crowd noIsed up considerably. After 10 min. utes there was period of rapid-tre wrestling. both men being in danger ?n several occa sions. A scissors hold ana half-nelson kept Atherton from getting the advantage over Barnes. the west erner pinning Atherton in 21.2sis.
 The second bout was full of actiosl. .No time was lost in dallying tine men rlashing in the center and going to the mat. Barnes got behind Atherton and did the work on top for nearly five minutes. At the end of minutes D seconds Atherton got combination crotch and hammerlock from which Barnes couldn't get away. A broken arm was ahead of Barnes in the event of trying to stave of the inevitable. but he made a game stand before yielding. Tn the deciding fall. a half-neison was used at the end of 1I minutes g sec opds and Atherton was underneath.

A RAIL PLAYERS UNION.

Chicago, June 29.-If the efforts o. Samuel Gompers are successful, ball players may be called out on strike some time in the near future in sym pathy for some other trades union. or they may have grievances of their own that will warrant strike in their own behalf. Letters have been received by all players in the big leagues, asking them to become members of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor and the organ ize local unions in every city or town that supports ball team.
 The movement is not the first one or it's kind. as the labor leaders have or ten tried to get the players into the or ganizations, but never has any success attended their efforts. When the bal, players had their own organization q few years ago the labor leaders asked them to join the federation, but the idea did not strike the players right. Now, that the players have dropped their own organization, there is less probability of the ball tossers organi- zing. The war between the American and National leagues three years ago broke up the players organization.
