played the national game. Come

of all by Charlie.
It looks as though Spokane fans
would see league this year with
but four teams in it. The North
west league managers are having
hard time getting the six teams
wanted. Helena promoters promis-
ed to come in, but now there is
trouble brewing and that city may
INTO enter. Bellingham is practic-
ally out of the game this year. This
leaves Spokane, Tacoma and Butte
for certainty and one other town,
possibly Boise, for the fourth.
When the Indians came to their
senses after the second inning of
the indoor baseball game yester-
day at the S. A. A. c., they discov-
cred they were playing a match
game with the Highlanders, and
that during their moments of men,
tai alteration the Highlanders had
made 10 runs.
The Indians, with the exception
of the second inning, outplayed the
Highlanders at every point Of the
game. The final score was: High

In the other game played yester-
day between the two tailenders,
the White Flyers won Is to 10. The
game was exciting from start to
finish. Several Highlanders played

MOOSUP, Conn, March II. -
Tehre's a strike at the r,ill!
This announcement will not
startle the outside world. 1t will
cause no panic in the securities
market. 1t won't even start a rip
pie of excitement in the cotton
weaving industry.
But a strike at the mill is to
Moosup the epitome of tragedy. 1t
spells suffering and heartache,
means possible hunger and certain
homelessness for 400 people old and
young
The bell in the gray tower of the
mill tolls mournfully each morning,
but the weavers do not respond.
The men and their wives are hold
ing meetings daily in the town hall,
where the vessels of French invec-

whom these simple minded folks
attribute their sorrows. But to the
children-all must work at the age
of 14-this is as yet gay holiday.
For two score years the employees
of the Union mill found little fault
with their lives. Mothers and faith
ers have grown old at the loom and
their children have followed them.
Unrest came only after old VIM.
Cray died, two years ago. For many
yeras he had been the Super" as
