along with the other banners and the cup
81 the O'Gorman Co., there will be many
money rrizes. Amopg the most valuable
OF these will be tke $50 prize given by the
Hanley Brewing con rany.
Mr. Hanley whef approached by the
ccp,nittee entered into the spirit or the
affair with great zeal and offered the
rrize mentioned. which is considered by
the committee TO be the most handsoms
thing done by any friend OF the laoor
movement in this city for that occasion
All the other breweries OF the city have
manifested willingness 10 contribute 10
the occasion with the exception or one
there being one other 70 he heard from.
though none OF them have gone TO the
gene rous extent % Mr.. Hanly.
The balls and bats for that day have
been given by Hayden and number OF
other stores are 10 give still other prizes
II ia a matter OF great pleasure to the
members OF the committee TO find the
business men OF the city so willing 10
interest themselves In the AFFAIRS or that
day.
The unions at this time are all working
for the prizes and have teams training
for the several events. There Is not
union that is not figuring TO capture all
the prizes except the trick ones The
ba rtenders. carpenters. plumbers and
brewers retail clerks and steam filters
are all working.N having teams organized.
and gone into training for the events.
The results of all this will be that there
will be close competition in each OF the
events. and the ball game has been won
several times. on paper, by both the cen
trail body and the Building Trades coun-
Gil The latter has always had very sue
cessful team In the field and can't see
how they can lose. but the central body
claims also 10 have several trump cards
in the way of baseball up their sleeves
and will show the Building Trades coun-
ell something on that day
on paper II would seem that the central
body has n larger and better aggregation
TO choose from. since there are In that
/ body numbers OF men who have made
.
whoever wins will have to work.
