was polished smooth by the friction 1t had

story came back to him.

PLAYERS FROM THE LOTS.

ter with better managers. is an example.
Powell was pitching star ball with prairie
leagues in Chicago. He had everything,
and then a few tricks of his own. He was
discovered by players on Ansons team.
They got him out to the Westside grounds
to practice and show a few things to
Arson. After watching him for a time
Arson ruled him out. He voted him
a good kid, but not up to the standard.
What Powell did to Chicago afterward is
historic. He found berth with Tebeau,
and became one of the greai pitchers of
the country. His especial delight was to
trim CnicaSo-which rejected him.
the owners OF ball clubs throughout the
country are bowling now because there is
lack of good players being developed In
The minor leagues. Yet there are enough
good ball players working on the semi

Chicago today to supply material to
strengthen half a dozen good clubs. The

One Of the funniest things ] ever saw
in baseball came to my attention only a
short time ago 1t was Sunday, and was
taking the usual Sunday car ride through
the suburbs of Chicago when l ran across
a ball game. The crowd was lined up
along the cement sidewalks, cheering, and
the two teams were hard at it out on an
open lot. So, being interested, l alighted
and watched the battle from the sidewalk.

In that team were Billy Hart and Billy

acquire quite so much fame.
But mostly they come in pairs. Two
boys get together. One is pitcher, the
other catcher-and they learn to work
together. They usually break out into
professional ranks as a battery, and half
the time one of them finds he really is
an outfielder or a third baseman instead
of pitcher or catcher. I'll wager that two
thirds of the professional ball players
today started in either as pitcher or
catcher and afterward found their true

There are real baseball games played

LABOR POLITICS.
AMERICAN FEDERATION HAS NO
DISTINCT PARTY.
MEMBERS FREE TO CHOOSE
Independent Voting Urged-Worklns
in Unison With Farmers Eduea-
tionaI Alliance Universal Union
Label Not Adapted.

Minneapolis.-The recent political
activity Of the American Federation OF
Labor occupied a prominent place in
the report OF the executive council.
which was read Tuesday at the con-
vention of the federation.
The report defined the attitude Of or
ranized labor toward politics. Accord
ing to the report, the total sum re-
ceived for campaign purposes was
ss,056; the total expenditures being
$3.50
The American Federation. the re-
port says, does not contemplate the
formation of distinct political party.
II does not intend TO dictate the party
membership of any union man. II does
propose to suggest from time TO time
legislative measures OF advantage to
labor and to secure the nomination and
election Of representatives and sena.
tors favorable to their enactment.
We have never opposed politics In
our organization" says the report, al
though we have always opposed parti-
san politics. Independent voting with
an eye single to the interests of labor
is urged upon all members OF the affili-
ated unions"
The report shows that an alliance
DteH lOTlIltu VII IL iut ldI mclS GU
ucational alliance for mutual support
and that an effort has been made to Sc
cure government statistics on women
and child labor.
On the question OF the dozen or
more controversies between rival or.
ganizations in the similar trades which
have long vexed the federation. the
committee reported no progress but
declared that when such internal dis
sensions were carried to such lengths
as to inconvenience employers VINO
were disposed to be fair to labor, the
limit had been reached.
A Porto Rican representative OF tho
Porto Rican federation council was
placed on the official delegate list.
The report of Frank X Foster and
james Wilson. the fraterna. delegates
of the American Federation OF Labor
to the Thirty-ninth annual convention
of the British Trades MON Congress,
held in Liverpool September 9Th, was
read by Mr.. Foster. II dealt exten.
sively with the political activities OF
the British unionist. Their conclu.
sion from their observations was that
that at present the movement was
only in an experimental stage. They
nre also of the opinion that outside
forces contributed to the election OF
trades union candidates to Parliament
at the recent election, and suggest
that the sweeping success of trades
unionism at the polls is in excess OF
the actual strength of the movement.
Political matters are paramount at the
British labor conventions, forcing
questions of organization, propaganda,
Jurisdiction and labels to the back
ground
The label trades held a meeting in
the convention hall after the adjourn
ment. The proposed universal union
label was discussed at length, but
failed to secure Endorsement.

SUCCESSFUL AiRSHiP.
Wonderful Work Of N. Santos-Du-
mont's New Aeroplane.

Paris-M SantosDumont made an
other series OF experiments with his
perfected aeroplane, the Bird of Prey,
in the Bois de Boulogne Monday. At
one time he skinned along at height
of fifteen feet and at thirty miles an
hour for 215 metres, when fear that
his steering propeller would strike the
cheering people forced him to descend.
The right wing of his machine was
slightly damaged.
Some aeronauts present declared
the aeroplane would soon fly for
miles. The next trial will take place
at Longchamps race course, from
from which the crowd can be ex-
cluded.
The principal change in the areo-
plane Monday was that the side rud-
der reins were fastened to the shoul
der OF NJ Santos s-Dumont, who oper-
ated them with movements Of the
body. He was thus completely sue
cessful in preventing the rolling mo-
ton OF the machine.
