MANAGER KELLY'S VIEW OF
THE BASEBALL CONTROVERSY

In yesterdays Daily Leader Mr.
Edward Cooper, manager OF the
Bramwell Athletic Association, made
a statement aDour the Controversy
between himself and the MAJ ager O.:
the Blueheld Athlets4 Asss citation
In which statement ~ <t-s. onin-
ions and makes statements about
which there is a difference OF in
ion
TO begin with Mr.. Cooper a.ates
that there can be no doubl - to
the right Of Bramwell 20 claim
Pitcher Bonno," and states in sub
stance that. upon arriving at Blue
field yesterday, that he Inquired OF
me whether or not Bon was un-
der contract with Bluefie 3. and tnat
upon being informed that Bonno
was under contract with eluefeld,
that he (Mr. Cooper) stated that
Bonno could not play with Bllede1d.
because he was under contract TO
play with Bramwell; thst BraawelI
would not stand for his pitching for
Bluefield against them and that
Bluefield refused to play wlthodt
him.
AS to the statement from Mr..
Cooper that there can be no doubt
as to the right OF Bramwell 10 claim
Pitcher Bonno." I am willing for
the public 10 know the facts and
pass upon the matter; and 7 am
further willing 10 submit the matter
TO three disinterested parties; one
Of said parties to be selected by Mr..
Cooper; one to be selected by my
self, and these two to select the
third and 7 will abide by their do
cision with the distinct understand
ing that n the decision be favorable
TO the Bramwell Athletic Associa-
tion, that a. shall pay Bonno a salary
satisfactory to him 50 long as they
retain his services. or until Blue
field finishes the season, as the
Blueheid Athletic Association is
willing TO do.
7 make the above stipulation be-
cause it IS simply matter OF justice
TO Bonno that he be allowed 10 play
on one Of the teams and be paid for
his services
When Br Cooper told me that he
had contract with Bonno 10 pitch
for him told him I had a contract
With him TO pitch for Blueheld and
asked him 70 let me see his contract.
lie then stated that he had no con
tract with him. but that he had Iet-
ters and kilograms binding as a con
tract. ] asked him 10 show me the
letters and telegrams. and expressly
stated that II he had such letters
and kilograms that he could take

PoRTUGAL'S GUIDED YOUTH co
ONE BETTER THAN OUR OWN
DEGENERATES.

Lisbon, Portugal. Aug. 24.-lNew
York's notorious Seeley dinner and
the reported. orgies OF degenerates
which shocked the new world last
decade have paled into insignifica-
tion beside the scandal which has
developed here through raid made
by the police on a studio outside this
city and the arrest OF half a dozen
alleged young laborers who are
members OF some OF Portugals most
noted families. The scenes enacted
are claimed to do Justice to the age
of Nero. Young women were enticed
to the place by dissolute youths who
kept them virtual prisoners. and
cruelties almost indescribable are
said to have been practiced on these
helpless victims.

MES President Small, OF tho Tele-

reason there was no one TO confer
with.
While the telegraphers believe
their position as strong today as
when the strike was inaugurated.

firm in their decision not to treat
with the strikers. the strike will be
carried on more fercely than evur.
According to G.. NJ. Henderson. a
former Postal employe. the compa-
nies have already made decided
concession to the men. Henderson
applied for reappointment. and was
told the company had decided TO
abolish the bonus system, which is
one cent per message after days
work, and establish straight salary
schedule for all overtime" wires

been working for.

New York. Aug 2S.-New York
faces another great strike that
threatens meat famine. The
drivers and packers employed In the
wholesale beef packing houses IN
this city are out All the big houses
In the combine or beef trust. as well
as the independent firm OF Schwarz-
schild and Sulzberger are affected.
The drivers demand a week TO con-
sist of sixty hours and no more. and
an increase OF pay as well. They
have been in conference with the
packers for the past Eve days. and
not being able to adjust their griev-
ances satisfactorily. walked out on
strike at a given signal. climbing
down off their wagons wherever they
opened TO be. leaving wagon loads
beef In the hot street unattended.
Fearing possible disturbance the
packing districts are patrolled by
police reserves night and day. but.
as yet, there has appeared no sign
nf violence.
The strikers chose the worst time.
FOR the packers. for just now there
ie the usual weekly rush TO I'LL the
bic orders for Saturday. Many pack
ers have contracts with the truck
Ing firms to do their carrying. and
as the drivers are union men. II Is
thought more than likely the Team
sters' Union will declare sympa-
thetic strike. tying up all wagon
trade in the city.
