HOT FINISH OF
BASEBALL YEAR

How's this for a garrison base
ball finish? In q recent game be-
tween Detroit and Cleveland, Of
the American league, Cleveland
had four to goose egg, with two
Detroit men down in the last Of
the ninth. Only weak hitters were
to follow and the Clevelands had
climbed into their carriage, while
the most of the Detroit team were
shedding their uniforms. Schei-
beck came to bat and singled.
Siever followed with safety that
put two on bases and a roar went
up that brought the crowd run
ming. Cobb lined one that scored
Scheibeck and Coughlin brought in
Siever Crawford walked and then
Freddie Payne came to bat with
bases full. BY the time the Cleve-
land right fielder found the ball
the sacks were clean and Detroit
had pulled out one of the most
forlorn hopes that ever settle down
ON a diamond.

MITCHELL LIKES
THE PLAN

Here is what John Mitchell,
president of the United Mine
Workers, says Of the American
Federation of Labor's entry into
politics.:
"The move certainly has my
hearty Endorsement. 1t is non
partisan and will commend itself
to the American voter We aim in
this campaign to stand by our
friends and to resolutely oppose the
men who are allied with the forces
that can be honestly classed as
enemies of the trades union move
ment. I feel confident that the
steps taken by the federation are
the only correct way Of solving the
problem"
In regard to Speaker Cannon's
chances for reelection in Illinois,
Mitchell had only this to say:
Joe has a pretty stiff majority
behind him."

CENTRAL LABOR
UNION

If the sentiment of the delegates
to the Central Labor union can
be accepted as evidence, the local
unions still feel that Industrial
peace in this city is not yet Sc
cured. The Washington Water
Power company, as usual, Is the
cause of friction. That labor-fight-
ing concern was up for discussion
again last night, and the Central
union delegates expressed them
selves in favor of attempting by ev-
cry legitimate means to persuade
the public from patronizing the
cars Of the local monopoly. This
brought up the question If any
other car service could be secured
to the fair grounds. Delegates
from the Electrical Workers union
stated that the Traction company
would run cars closer to the fair
grounds than the Washington
Water Power company cars, and is
