AMERIoAN ASSOCIATION.
Season Closed with Only Two Teams
in the Race.

Kansas City. Sept. 1s.-The race
which closed yesterday in the Amerl-
can association was really a two
horse affair between Columbus ana
Milwaukee since July 4. Up to that
time Minneapolis had a lead OF a Few
points, but then the Nillers took an
awful slump, finishing a rather close

St Paul, last years champions, are
fifth, below the 500 mark. The best
team undoubtedly won the. pennant.
The Senators were severely handicap
ped in the pitching department many
times during the season. Veil ana
Berger were laid up several times ana
Malarkey jumped to the outlaw league
when he was most needed Manager
Cantillon can have no reasonable ex-
cuses to offer for the Brewers. The
team that finished the season was the
same that started out. and his pitchers
were in good condition throughouf.
Minneapolis had plenty of bad luck
The infieId was badly crippled for
nearly three weeks. and the pitching
staff was badly off at times. Louisville
was badly crippled here in an accident,
but it was too late in the season to
affect the standing of the team. The
others never had a chance.

THE MINERS WIN OUT.
Men at Pittsburg Get Extra Pay For
Pushing Coal Cars.

Kansas City, Sept. 19.-There is
trouble among the Kansas miners in
consequence of the demand of the
miners on the operators, from United
Mine Workers of America No. il. This
much was definitely settled yesterday
afternoon when a telegram was re-
ceived by Vice President and General
Counsel w. c. Perry, who as chair
man of the operators had been in con-
ference with George Richardson, pres
ident of the Mine Workers. The tele-
gram stated that the proposition sub
naitted by the operators was satisfac-
tory and acceptable to the mine work.
ers, and they would work under it.
The operators granted about all the
demands made on them by the miners
and this included the principal conten-
ton made by the union.
This demand was the one that came
about through the pushing of coal
cars in the mine. The miners asked
for extra pay for pushing coal cars
to the smoke hole a distance of sew
eral hundred feet from where they
were working. They insisted they
were obliged to only push the cars in
side of their own workings, and If they
had to push the cars over that distance
they should have pay for it.
