MOTHER UNION BACKS UP.

The great somersault by the
Motnerly Union. that hasty defender
of the saloon men. taken this morn
ing, is so ridiculous as to be actually
pitiful. It is a shifting Of feet which
can only happen where outside and
irresponsible persons have too much
to say about what a newspaper shall,
or shall not do.
Yesterday morning the Union fairly
frothed at the mouth over what it de-
clared was an Unqualified Falsehood"
referring to the expose in The
Statesman of the attempt by saloon
men to force Louis Kan to discharge
his foreman, because the latter hap
pened to be president of the labor
council, which endorsed union men as
unionist candidates. Obeying the die
tation Of John H. Pedigo who. with
Fred Dryden, president of the liquor
dealers. carefully censored the stuff
in the Union. that paper recklessly
came to the support Of the coterie and
without realizing the trap, jumped
boldly in and denounced the publ
cation as "a contemplate lie" and as
an article utterly baseless."
The Union knew at the time that
extraordinary defense of the conspira-
tors was made that the expose in The
Statesman was true Its own en-
ployes, members Of the union and the
labor council, had given information
of the attempted coercion Of Kan and
the attack on Hester.
At the very moment Pedigo forced
the Union to accept the fierce defense,
the copy Of the letter from the labor
council to the liquor dealers, published
yesterday in The Statesman, was in
the Union Office. That letter, in ITSELF
was a sufficient proof to any intelli-
gent man. But in it's fairness" the
Union would not publish it, because
Pedigo would not allow anything
which would injure the conspirators
to appear. The Union even suffered
the words of Louis Kan to be expur-
gated wherever it was deemed injur-
ious to the defense, as conducted by
Pedigo.
Yet to read that back up editorial
in the Union this morning you would
imagine that organ of the saloon men
was fairly yearning for an opportun-
| ity to publish the labor councils side
Of the. sensation.
weakly defending itself the Union
further says:
IF The Statesman knew anything
Of fair and unbiased journalism, it
would know that a newspaper is not
supposed to give sanction to every
thing that appears in it's columns in
the form of interviews or communica-
tions."
Isn't that tricky evasion? The
Union tries to tell you that signed
statements, or interviews, are ordin-
| arily printed without the newspaper
being respOnsibla for the views ov

Hills Three Railroad Aides.

James ]. Hill, the railroad magnate,
has three sons in the same business.
James N, the eldest, is vice-president
of the Northern Pacific; Louis w. is
first vice-president of the Great
Northern and Walter H. is right-of-
way agent for a new line between
Sioux City and Omaha. It is gener-
ally understood that Louis will be
his fathers successor in the railroad
world.

Although the political organs are
attempting to make it appear other
wise, The Statesman published the
expose of the attempted boycott of
Louis Kan as a matter of news-as
a thing which should be shown up to
the public. The publication was In
the interest of no candidate, nor
against any candidate.

Death Comes to "A Child at Play.
OLYMPIA, Nov. 1.-FollOwing some
internal injury received yesterday
morning while at play, Walter Ayers,
S-year-old son of George Ayers, of
South Central street, died last night
at $3.50 o'clock. The exact cause of
his death has not yet been determined.
The little fellow was playing with
his older brother when he suddenly
fell to the ground screaming with
pain. The brother carried the lad
into the house and a doctor was sum-
moned, but he passed away last night.

The Evening Bunc' declares no
reason can be urged against the cleo

The one great reason for voting

whom were turned down and repudiat-
ed at the last primaries.

Prodigals Win Second.

Phil Corcoran showed how game he was by going onto the slab in the second game to twirl for his team. He had stiffened up a bit during the ten minutes rest and in the first three innings the Prodigals found him easy. Two hits on him in the first inning. two more in the second and a two sacker and two singles in the third, aided by three errors. net ted us five runs. Not the semblance of a hit came to us after that third inning and Corcoran had us again tied fast. Bill Rogers was doing great twirling in the meantime and not a little scratch hit was made off him until the sixth inning. when Cor coran himself broke the ice. The first and only run for New Haven was made in the seventh on a double by Hannifin and single by Burke In this game McEnroe. the new short stop. played a star game and his dou- ble play in the sixth and another in the last. when he ended the struggle. were of the star nature. and he was forced to doff his cap to the plaudits of the crowd.

There Is n protest against the Spring field game fin which Cy Miller pitch cd. because Cy is a contract juniper and is on the black list. Manager O'Neil put the player on the black list himself and is now playing him. Miller played against Holyoke Satur- day. Secretary O'Rourke will be asked to explain why Murphy was allowed to pitch for Manchester Sat. urlay. contrary Co the rules of the league. New Haven Is especially in terested in this matter. as Manager Danaher once felt the weight of O'Rourke's displeasure in a similar case. The Hartforl pyoteSt against New Haven and the Hartford protest against Bridgeport will also come I'D and the session promises to be q live ly affair.

HARVARD MEN MUST IMPROVE.
They Row Fast, But Do Not Satisfy
 Coach Wray.

Bourne End. Aug 15.-Both the Harvard and Cambridge crews took practice spins on the river yesterday. The pace is gradually being worked up in both boats. Harvard yesterday morning rowed from the Spade Oak ferry to the Bourne End railway bridge. The time was 3 minutes 14h seconds, which was two and a half minutes faster than Cambridge travelled the same course Monday night. The distance is about three quarters of mile. Both crews seemed pleased with the result.
 Yesterday afternoon both shells were out again. Harvard rowed to Stonenouse and back. The average stroke was 32. Several short sprints were also included in the afternoons work. Cambridge padded to Mar low Point, where they turned about and with the stroke at 2S returned to the Bourne End bridge.
 Harvard for the first time seems pleased with the days practice. It is admitted that the men are not SO Tar advanced in condition as the Cam bridge men. Only Monday night John Richardson. No 5. was indis- nosed. but he was back In the boat for praetice yesterday. Coach Wray s,vs that he is not satisfied either vi,h inc condition of form of the men. He says that the crew is not rowing nearly as we'll as before the Yaie race.

THE DIAM ON D
WE LOSE AND
 THEN WE WIN
An Even Break For the Prodigals and the Hens The Games Play
 ed On Other Diamonds.

We lost and won yesterday in two games that were almost similar in the scoring. The first game was taken by New Haven because Cooney Rice, McCabe and McEnroe allowed just four of the five runs that New Haven scored to be tallied up against us by the worst kind of misplays. We won the second because we hit Phil CorcOran in the first three in nings with sufficient force to enable us to make the runs we scored in the game. After that third inning Cor coran had us tied up in all kinds of knots, for not another hit did we se- cure. In the first game we were un- able to hit Corcoran safely until the sixth inning, when Rice laced one out, but it added nothing to our ad- vantage. We made another hit in the seventh and one in the eighth, but no injury accrued to New Haven. In the ninth with two men out we had the only good chance of the day to do some scoring. Thackara, Jimmy Walsh and McEnroe each made a safe bingo. Then with the three on UdocS Euult dTlcy WdS StHI up IO bat for Hogarty, but all he accom- plished was pop drive to the pitch- CT, who promptly threw him out at first and the game was over.
 New Haven scored her runs as fol- lows: In the second inning the Hens came over the plate twice and with out one solitary hit. In the first place Burke hit out to McCabe and that generally reliable player let it go through his hands. Hayward sac rificed him another base and Bunyan got free pass. Cooney Rice had made one error in the first inning and to keep that company he made two in succession in the second, and when the errors had been counted up two runs were also chalked up against us. Three more came in the seventh on singles by Fitzpatrick and Hannifin, hit by the pitcher and an error of McEnroe at short. The score.

Dick Fitzgerald, Tipperary, followed up the opening. and not meeting with much resistance easily scored point Play now was very fast and exciting, Kerry distinguishing themselves by excellent catching. Sullivan then ad- ded another point. Combination amongst Kerry team began to assert itself. and three rather easy goals fol- lowed. per Fitzgerald. German. and Jack Fitzgerald, .Tipperary began to wake up somewhat. and were now Hlaying with deterpiilaaiSp p-hfh science. and were rewarded by free which. however came to nothing. They were still pressing at half time.
 The second half opened in Tipper- ary's favor and before many inter changes a goal, per Jim Cooney, was registered. Fast and furious play followed in Kerry territory. and the goal was assalled several times: but the defense was sound. Tpperary however. were not to be denied, and q point was scored. Mid-fieh play was now the order, some brilliant pas sages being witnessed. At length the ball travelled to Tipperarys' half and Fitzgerald scored. Tipperary followed up, but resistance was offer ed at every yard. However, keeping the pressure up point was scored. Exciting play was seen. and Kerry scored a point. There was no further scoring until the final whistle went. Result '

 Cooney Rice was forced to retire during the second game yesterday, and Jack Walsh took his place. Rice has a bad leg which is giving him trouble.
 The New Haven fans who were present in large numbers yesterday were surprised at the big middle of the week crowd that witnessed the game Tn this c1ty.
 One of the knockers who has heaped abuse on the sporting writer of this paper was nailed to the cross last night and squealed like stuck pig when cornered.
 It is a pleasure to watch a game where all senseless kicking is cut out. Dan shannon umpired corking good game and there was little chance to make any objections.
 McEnroe. the new shortstop. made one bad error in the first game yes terday, but his brilliant work in the second game made the fans sit up and cheer him to the echo.
 Sam Leeyer could pitch as we'll if he had but one hand. In making his swing he seldom touches the left hand to the ball. using his left arm principally to maintain balance.
 The Chicago Nationals are not worried over the fact that they have an eastern trip to make just beforC the windup. They win as big per- centage of games on the road as they do at home.
 shutouts came thick and fast last week. In four American league games the losing side was dipped in kalsomine. while in ten National league conflicts the losers collected strings of zeros.
 Experts who have seen Perrine. the second baseman Of the Kansas City team. play say he is a wonder at cov- ering ground. He had sixteen chances without an error in a sixteen inning game against Toledo the other day.
 Bill Peet. we missed you yesterday. what do you mean by staying away from a double header with those pets of yours in the fray . Your assistant was all to the merry however. al- though the local scorers prevented him from cheering.
 Another big crowd should be in on Friday when the whaIers and slapper Kennedy come here for a double header. Guess we will have to take Sam's measure twice on that day. We need the scores and Sam needs the money.

Burke's absence from several games allowed Ladd to crawl up in the number of hits and the two are now tied with 11S each. Ladd put in big week with thirteen hits in nine games.
 As the result of Yale's steady base stealing, he has passed to the front and now has forty-one to his credit. Keane stood still at thirty-eight. Soffel of Norwich is in the game with thirty-five, while O'Rourke, Jr's, three steals in New London carried him up to thirty-four.
 The jumping Mccormack leads the league in sacrifice hits with twenty nine, Jope of New Haven coming sec ond with twenty-seven.
 Hannifin and Lord lead in two-base hits with twenty-five each. Rising and Nichols have twenty-four each.
 O'Rourke, Jr, is still the three-base hit leader. although he has not made one in some weeks. his ten holds good. Burke is the home run maker with nine. Il
