ALL HAIL LABOR DAY.

Sincerely, cordially and with all
vigor we greet the hosts of labor of
America with the fraternal "Hail !.
All Hail Labor Day May you,
the toilers of our land, learn your
full rights, have the understand
ing and the manhood to achieve
them.'
Upon the shoulders of the work
ers of our time rests the response
bility. TIC them is committed the
mission by those who in the past
have struggled for liberty, justice
and right to carry on the great
work where they have laid it
down.
Within the past two decades
much has been donc by the work
ers in the fullflment of this great
duty. Organized labor within
that period has immensely i'm
proved the material, moral and
social condition of the workers.
Increased wages has been secured
and maintained; the workday has
been shortened, resulting in better
Education, more books and better
pictures; more food, better cloth
ing, better surroundings, brighter
and better homes; more time and
opportunity for the cultivatioreof
the best that is within us; honor
able labor alternating with healthy
leisure with all that it implies;
leisure to live, leisure to love,
leisure to taste our freedom.
And withal, for the improve
ments which have come to the toll
CTS in their work, in their homes,
or in any other field, they arc in
debted and under obligations to no
one or to nothing but their own
increased intelligence, character
and gift, as manifest in their as
ISOLATED capacity in the trades.
union movement.
Much remains to be done for tho
present as well as the future, but
the achievements of the trades
union movement in the interests of
the workers of America must
prove to all an incentive to greater
effort.
1t is true that conditions are not
now what we have 4 right to ex
pect and hope them to be, but look
back and count with the time
when the workers were vcritabla
slaves, toiling long hours for pitt
ably low wages under awfullv i'm
poverishing conditions, when the
employer was the master of all he
surveyed and the worker toilcd
long without hope or aspiration
for himself or his kind.
Much of the burdens of ages
which were borne by the type of

been lifted, and the bent form and
the reccding forehead have been
changed to the upright attitude
and a higher developed manhood,
with better life today and a
better prospect for the davs to
come, and this has been accom-
plished under our modern indus
trial system through the numbers.

pRO.LEAGUE BASKET BALL.

One of the greatest surprises IN basket
hall circles was given the Commissioners by
the q. A. C. Tuesday night. The game was
fast and exciting, but the Commissioners
had to take the short end OF the stick.
Rickenbacker, in center, played great
game for the E. A. c.
The struggle between the Ordway A. C..
and the w. l.. /. for first place honors will
be continued Tuesday, when these two
teams meet in a game that promises to be a
..corker." This will be the fourth meeting
of these two teams. The Ordways are one
to the good.
Burlingame's inability to shoot is the one
fiaw in his work as a first class guard.
James is certainly doing good work for
the E. A. G.
Moriarity of the Commissioners knows the
game from A to 2. The guards on the OPP

saUIREs TO FIGHT o'BRIEN.
Tom McCarey Believes the Match is
Virtually Made.

Special Dispatch to 4 he Star.
LOS ANGELES, January 12.-BiI Squres,
the Australian heavyweight, and Phila-
delphia Jack O'Brien are practically
matched to fight twenty rounds before the
Pacific Athletic Club of Los Angeles some
time in March or April.
Matchmaker Tom McCarey has secured
Squires' consent to fight for a good purse
and he expects to land O'Brien soon. The
amount of the purse will be settled upon
as soon as McCarey can get into COM
munication with O'Bren.
The match with OBrien is largely at
Squires suggestion though the fight has
been talked of for a year past. Squres
was notified by cablegram that the JEFF
fries fight had fallen through through JEFF
fries refusal to make fair division of the
purse. The Australian promptly wired back
that he was willing to come to America to
fight anybody, and asked for a match with
O'Brien. He was asked to name a mini
mum purse, but he made no mention of
money, so it is taken for granted that any
purse satisfactory to O'Brien will be ac-
ceptable to him. McCarey says:
1T is my intention to have SQuires and
O'Brien fight here in March or April if
Squires can ct away from Melbourne on
January IS, he planned originally. i
think he will be a good card, and if this
affair with O'Brien should by any chance
fall through 1 am going to give him a
crack at the winner Of the O'BrienBurns

SOLD TO TIE NEW ARKS
SECOND BASEMAN GILBEET TO
LEAVE THE GIANTS.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, January 12.-Bflly Gilbert.
for several years star second baseman OF
the Giants, has been sold to the Newark
club of the Eastern League, and will not
appear in a New York uniform next sea-
son.
Neither the Newark club nor the ew
York management would say what was
paid for Gilbert, but it Is supposed to be a
good round sum.
Every club in the National League waiv-
ed claim to Gilbert-that is, they did not care
for his services-and New York turned him
over to the minor leaguers.
Gilbert came to New York with McGraw
from Baltimore and has done great work
for the Giants. There is no faster man
in the business than Gilbert when it comes
to fielding, but in latter years he has fallen
off in his batting Gilbert Is probably one
of the most popular players personally that
ever wore a uniform. His departure from
the major league will be regretted by. his
close friends among the players and the
fans.
This leaves the position of second base
on the Giants open to Strang, Shay or prob
ably one of the newcomers. When McGraW
left for Los Angeles he said he had no
idea as yet how he would fill the various
positions on his club. Spring practice will
have to determine that.

and many new ones, who are expected to
help fill up the gaps.
The st. Patricks and the Trinitys will
not present the same lineup of last year,
and will put many new men on the field.
Manager Jimmy Kelliher of Trinity has
strengthened the team considerably since
last season, and from the indications it
should make strong bid for the flag.
Kelly HarriSs, the crack little third base
man, will be with the team again. The
following players have been secured: NJ.

POTOMACS LEADING
REAL ESTATE BOWLERS

With the beginning of the second half
of the schedule in the Real Estate League
the Potomac team is found clnging to the
leadership of that league and making
clean sweep of the last three games it
has played. The boys had long rest dur
ing the Christmas holidays and are deter
mined to keep up their winning form and
not lose their advantage over-the other
teams which they gained after hard
struggle. Robinette, Walker and Bontz
have been the consistent bowlers of this
team and have pulled it up to it's present
position, all three having a very good per-
centage. The Columbia team, which occu-
pies second position, is still plugging away
at the pins in desperate effort to gain
something on the flying leaders, but instead
falls back, game by game. 1t is doing
good work, but just can't keep up with
the hot pace that the Potomac boys are
setting. The credit for the work of the
team belongs to McKnew, Phelps and
Marsh. The Assessors and Lawyers are
again tied for third honors, each hav-
ing won and lost the same humber OF
games, with a percentage of .527. In the
last set the Lawyers won two out of three
while the Assessors lost two. The other
two teams have not Jared SO well. and &C.
Hall getting the tail end with very poor
percentage.
All the teams have played thirty-six
games up to date The Columbia team
which was holding first honors in team
average has again been ousted from that
position by the Potomacs, with a good
average of S64, having made sol strikes,
s64 spares and toppling 30,T22 pins. In the

to the utmost If they wish to secure the
title for this coast.
One man who is sure to be a member Of
the California team is Albert Mum, who is
considered the best all-round high school
athlete in the west, and who will probably
wear the insignia of the Olympic Club OF
San Francisco. Mum is particularly strong

of 3 feet IL inches, and in the pole vault,
in which he has crossed the bar over eleven

ability to stand high in the list IL he can
overcome the hurdling of Johnny Garrels
of Michigan and the weight throwing of
Martin Sheridan of the Irish-American
Athletic Club.
Another Pacific slope competitor will prob
ably be Ralph Rose. whose achievements
with the shot ard hammer have won him
great recognition In athletic circles. 1nvf-
tations to try for place the team are
also to be sent to Charles l.. Parsons of
San Francisco, who won the 100-yard dash
at the Lewis and Clark exposition in ten
seconds fiat; w. R. Garcia, also of Frisco,
who secured first place in the SS0-yard run
in the same meet in minutes 80 sec
onds; Sam Mays of Portland, Ore, the win
ner of the two-mile run in ii minutes 3 10
seconds: NJ. A. James and w. A. Baker
of Portland, the shot putter and hammer
thrower; A. johnson of Portland, who has
thrown a discus 30 feet 8 inches; Fred
Burgess of San Francisco a 440-yarder,
and A. A. Glarner. a California miller. Eff
forts will also be made to secure Splinter
seconds for the hundred. If he joins the
coast squad the team will be one of the
strongest western aggregationS that ever
competed in big meet.

WILL PROBABLY FIGHT MURPHY
Kid Herman Inclined to Meet Young
| Corbett's Conqueror.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO. January 12.-Kid Herman an
nounced today that he would probably &C
cept the offer of Promoter Riley of Tono-
pah of a $40 OCO purse for a finish fight with
Tommy Murphy of New York at the Casino
Athletic Club on March IS.
Herman did not say positively that he
would accept the proposition, but said that
he felt favorably toward 1t, and would let
Riley know positively within the next few
days.
After the Cans fight made up my mind
that 1 would quit the ring for a time, and
maybe for good,'' said Herman, but l
don't think man who is not a millionaire
has any business passing up good offers as
long as fight promoters think he Is sood

II have been planning to go into business
right away and / am afraid that to start
out for another battle now Nigh upset my
plans Another thing, / have just been mar
ried and l have to consult my partner
now before 1 start planning for another
battle"
Herman evidently feels like taking a
Whirl at Murphy and the winners end or
the $4,000 purse, and there is every reason
to believe that he will accept.
He was very complimentary toward
Murphy.

ANOTHER MATCH PROPOSED.
Trying to Arrange Bout Between
Lewis and Melody.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, January 12-Manager Mike
Riley of the Casino Club of Tonopah wired
a sporting editor here today asking him to
find Honey Melody, and see if he would
consider match with Harry Lewis of
Philadelphia, as he wanted a bout for his
tournament of four bouts in March.
Mellody's manager, Johnny Mooney, was
at once communicated with, and he imme-
diately signified his willingness to the match
If Lewis would fight at the weter-weight
limit.
Mooney said that he understood the arti-
cles of agreement were On the way from
Tonopah for bout between Melody and
Gardner, and he had no idea that Lewis
was considered, but it made no difference
who Mellodys opponent was, as he would
fight anybody at the welter-weight limit
Lewis is now out in the west, and that ac-
counts for the action of the club in want
ing to secure him to meet Melody.
That the club wants other eastern fighters
is true by the dispatch received by Mike
CTwin) Sullivan today from Manager Riley,
who wants him to meet some one in the
welter-weight class.

GETTING READY
FOR THE SEASON
Meeting of Board of Directors
of the Marquette Base
Ball League.
Prospects for the Coming Year
Declared to Be Most
Promising.

A meeting of the board of directors of the
Marquette Base Ball League was held at
the National Guard Armory Friday even
ing and officers were elected for the season
of 1907, and the ST. Martin, st. Aloysius ST.
Peter, st. Patrick, Immaculate and Trinity
teams granted franchises in the league
The officers elected We're: Capt. c..
Eugene Edwards, president and treasurer;
Sargent w. Robbins. vice president Ma
thaniel T. Morley, secretary and official
scorer.
The third season of the Marquette League
promises to be the best the league has yet
experienced. The uncertainty about the
other local amateur leagues will throw
many good players into the Marquette
ranks.
Last year the league was hampered by
getting started late, and the officials not
wanting to make this mistake again this
year have practically completed all ar
rangements except as to the grounds, and
the committee selected for the purpose is
considering several excellent locations.
The St. Aloysius Church team, not the
Aloysius Club team, comes into the league
as the only new club, and numbers in its
ranks some of the best players in the
Capital City League of last year. Manager
Maurice OConnell declined to give out his
lineup, but says he will have one of the
fastest teams in the league when the
schedule begins.
The ST. Dominic and Holy Name teams
Of last season will not be in the league
this year, and the st. Joseph's team, which
endeavored to get franchise was turned
down for being too late in making appli-
cation.
The playing season will begin Monday,
April %, and there will be but one game
played each day, as the foreground propo-
sition has been tested and proved a failure.
OF last years teams, the St. Martins are
an unknown quantity, but the fact that
they will be managed by the Rev. Eugene
Hannah, who is the founder of the league
and who built it up, is enough to guarantee
a strong team Bernie Gallagher and Jesse
Baggette, the youthful battery that won so
much praise in the Marquette last season,
may play with the Cumberland team in the
P. o. NJ. League this year, although moth
ing definite has been learned. In case these
two youngsters are given a trial by the
professionals the st. Martin and Immaculate
teams will have to develop new batteries.
Lee Hillary of st. Martin was one of the
best twirlers in the Marquette until the
North Capitol street aggregation dropped
out, and he Will probably be st. Martins
mainstay in the box this year in case they
do not get Gallagher.
John DAILY, whose clever management
landed his team to the front in one of
the most exciting finishes ever Witnessed in
amateur base ball in this city and who
led his nine successfully against the other
pennant winners of the local amateur
leagues, will be at the helm again this
year and will have most Of his old players

CITY BASKET BALL LEAGUE.

The crowds are growing and the games
are much faster. Interest now centers In
the I'd Regiment Carroll game.
The Corcoran Cadets walloped the West
Branch Y NJ C. A, u to 20, in great
game Wednesday.
Williams and Fowler of the local Y. NJ. Z.
A. team are claimed by their friends to be
the fastest backs in the south. Wait until
Reyes of the ID Regiment gets crack at
the game, or perhaps one of the Carroil
backs has something to say.
The I'd Regiment team is creeping up the
ladder. Y. NJ C. A. and the CAROLS have
both played three or four more games than
the Guardsmen, however.
The Y NJ. c. A. rolled up the largest
score of the season against the Caprons In

ing when the maroon and gray put the
wearers of the red and white to sleep to the
tune of 81 to Z.
