APPEAL TO PRESIDENT.
Commercial Telegraphers' Association
After Landowners"

The troubles of the telegraphers are, 1t
is said, to be taken to President Roosevelt
for adjustment. The grievance of the
knights of the key, as set forth at recent
meeting of the Central Labor Union, is
against the Landowners as they are
termed These are telegraphers who hold
government positions. where they are re-
uuired to work eight hours, and afterward
fill places in the offices of newspaper cor
respondents and others having leased wires
Some of the government operators are also
said to be on the extra list of the telegraph
companies.
The situation here has become SO acute,
1t is added, that s. ]. Small of Chicago,
president of the Commercial TelegraphersS
Union of America, has been summoned to
this city, and is expected to reach here
this week to investigate the complaint of
the local workers.
1t is said Mr.. w. w. Beattie of this city,
first vice president of the Telegraphers'
National Association, favors making a d.
rect appeal to President Roosevelt as the
best way of solving the problem. He said
there are number of biographies en-
ployed by the government who are assured
of work at least three nights a week on
commercial wires in Washington Offices
Others are given preference for extra work
He charges that there is unfair dscrimi-
nation against those telegraphers who are
without regular work, and Mr.. Beatte de-
clared that unless relief Is obtained from
other sources the matter will be placed in
the hands of two union telegraphers who
will be members Of Me Sixtieth Congress.

TURF AND TRACK NOTES.

w. c. DAILY was called before the stewards
at Aqueduct yesterday to straighten out
conflict In claims made by two owners,
Cochran for Fire Opal and Bauer for IL
fusion. on the DAILY apprentice Guy Burns
in the second race. Daily testified in favor
of Bauer, but the stewards decided in favor
of Cochran, and Bauer, unable to secure a
rider, scratched his entry.
The steeplechase jockey, McInerney, who
rode Dulcian in the jumping race at Aque-
duct yesterday. when the horse fell at the
next to last jump, was crumpled into
heap and >the horse seemed to roll on him.
Mcinerney rose before help reached him,
but had a hard time trying to convince
spectators that he was not hurt, though he
walked off the field unassisted. Pinker-
ton policemen watched him suspiciously
until he left the track, in spite of his as
sertion that he was not injured, the recent
case of Jockey Sewell having made them
doubtful as to just how badly rider might
be hurt without showing it.
The racing stable trained by A. ]. Joyner
which comprises the horses racing in the
names of five different owners, practically
completed the racing year at Aqueduct
yesterday, when Trainer Joyner stated he
was ready to go into winter quarters, the
stable having won total of $134, 1855 in the
season. The winnings were distributed as
follows: S. Paget, fifteen races and $685.

S31 800; E. r. Thomas, eighteen races and
27,755; A. ]. Joyner, nine races and

Terry McGovern started a filly named

ROW IN BROOKLYN
BASE BALL CLUB

NEW YORK, November 13-Litigation in
the New Jersey courts will follow the an
nual meeting of the Brooklyn Base Ball
Club. which was held in the First National
Bank building at No. 1 Exchange place,
Jersey City, yesterday afternoon. The fac
tions in the organization led by Charles H.
Ebbets and Edward Hanlon clashed, and
some inside base ball history is likely to be
told as result The Ebbets faction was
In the majority yesterday, and voted to
elect Mr.. Ebbets. his son, Charles II. Eb-
bets. jr.: Henry w. Medicus. Albert c. Wall
and Robert \. Wright directors of the club
The last named is elected to take the place
of the late Harry c. Vonderhorst of Bal
timore.
In casting their ballots Hanlon and Fer
dinand A. Abel voted for Hanlon, Abel
and Howard Griffiths of Jersey City. Han
Ion and Abel cast 1.219 shares and Eb-
bets the remainder or 1.251. Hanlon at
once protested the election, claiming that
Ebbets, his and Medicus are not eligible
as directors for the coming year He bases
his claim on the ground that they were di-
rectors last year and failed to file a certif-
cate of election with the secretary of state
of New Jersey. The penalty for failure
to file such statement is that the men so
elected are not eligible to election to sue
coed themselves until one year has elapse1
from the end of their terms. Hanlons pro-
test was not needed. and the matter will be
taken into the courts.
After the meeting Hanlon said that he
had begun suit in the court of chancery
of New Jersey to compel Charles H Ebbets,
the president of the club. and Henry w
Medicus, the secretary and treasurer TO re-
fund several thousand dollars alleged to
have been drawn by them from the treasury
as salaries. and in excess of the amount
allowed by the certificate of organiZa ton
during the years 1903 and 1906. Mr.. Hanlon
claims that the salaries of the president and
treasurer are fixed by the charter as $1,000
and S2,OOO, respectively. Mr.. Hanlon al
leges that Ebbets drew from the club at
the rate of $1,000 a year, and Medicus al

FOOT BALL NOTES.

Capt Herbert Dillon of Princeton has
rheumatism and may not be able to play
against Yale. Daub. who played half
against Old Eli last year, showed up well in
the Tiger line against West Point and will
take Dillon's place if the latter's joints do
not timber up.
Cooney is acting-captain of Princeton dur
ing Dillon's absence. The duties of the
captaincy were too much for Cooney before,
but they do not seem to bother him this
year.
The caliber of the Tiger backs is shown
by Daubs inability to make a back field
position this season. Last year Daub tore
through the Yale line several times. but he
cannot Dust either Mccormick, Rulon- Miller
or Harlan.
In the Brown game Veeder kept up his
good punting. The Yale line gave way to
Brown as it did to West Point. and Veeder
saved the day by repeatedly booting the
ball back down the field.
Now Dartmouth comes out frankly and
Acknowledges that she must give up the old
system of play and change over to the new
wrinkles. Her experience with Princeton
taught her that nothing worth while can be
obtained with modified old foot ball between
the 2o-yard lines.
That lack of endurance shown by Cornell
here seems to have been overcome. The
Ithacans made a grandstand finish on Sat-
urday, when they defeated Holy Cross in
| the last half.

preparation for Michigan and every man
reported for work in good physical condi-
ton.
The great part Of the afternoon was
spent In running through the signals,
with Lawrence at quarterback. No new
formations were tried, SO 1t is evident that
Penn will rely on her style of play used
against Lafayette on Saturday for Mich
fgan. The end defense was formulated for
some of Michigan's plays, and the greater
part of the back field coaching consisted in
forming effective interference.
The scrubs and freshmen alternated in
the scrimmage practice against the varsity.
Townsend was given a chance in the var
sity back field. He got around the end on
three different occasions for gains of twenty
yards. Stein and Gribbell were again given
a chance on the line. Lawrence was in the
major part of the practice, Keinath sue
ceeding him.
