are foraging almost in the dooryards

Eckersal Mohawk Game a
Draw Championship
Undecided.

Chicago, Dec. 9.-In the presence of
some 1000 football enthusiasts the
Eckersalls and Mohawks battled two
rounds to draw in the West Side ball
swamp yesterday. The game was to
have decided the middleweight cham
pionship of the city, but failed in its
purpose. since neither eleven was able
to score a knockout. Tor a time in
the second half it looked as though
the Eckersalls We're going to put
something over, as they were within
easy drop kicking distance on two
occasions.
Captain Eckersall might have landed
the coveted four points but for two
thngs-the ball weighed ton and his
linemen were evidently not sharp shod.
The result was that he kicked hur-
ried grounders both times and was
thrown into the puddles by the oppos-
ing forwards. Eckie evidently did not
relish playing in the mud, and his
Mohawk rival, Red Baker. proved his
superior in the soft going The ex-
Maroon star outpunted Baker. but the
latter was the whole show in the mat
ter of catching the heavy pigskin and
foundering back past the ends.
The teams weighed in before the
skirmish started. The Eckersalls av-
eraged 154 and the Mohawks 149. The
former eleven asked permission to play

Gurn of the football league turned

RETREHCHMENT IN n. Y.
One Hundred and Twenty
five Thousand Men Idle,

New York, Dec. S.-A careful canvass
Of the business situation reveals the
fact that in the city Of New York
there are at present l25.0o0 men out OF
employment OF this number $4,000
are IL the tailoring trades. mostly
workers in the East Side district
Among the skilled laborers the
building trades have felt the greatest
i'll effect of the business depression in
this city. The stringency in the mon
ey market has compelled speculative
builders 10 withhold operations for
more opportune times, and as a result
$4,000 men in the building trades are

building operations Will be consider

and the workers received double pay
for overtime.
The years 1905 and 1904 were not a.
good. but there was work for every one

on top of this came the announce

About oue-half of the bricklayers

fectly satisfied with their pay. Indeed
the men in the building trades are per-
fectly in accord with their employers
as to their pay it being the highest
ever known.
! Because of the slack condition OF
business the master carpenters recent
~ attempted to reduce the pay of the
10000 carpenters from 50 to $3.50 g
day. but the members of the organiza-
ton made a strong protest against
the reduction. Conferences were hello
and the matter is still under consid-
Grafton. 1t is believed, however, that
the carpenters will win out and thai
no attempt will be made to lower the
wage scale.
The employers. when asked about thi:
matter declared that as the building
season would be slack nothing would
be gained by forcing a general reduc-
ton in pay.
Tailoring Trade Affected.
According to the members Of tn
United Hebrew Trades there are more
than 100 900 workers out of employ
ment on the East Side. The tailoring
trade is the hardest hit.

WILL PLAY ALL STARS
st. Vincents Will Leave
Soon for California
Christmas Engagement.

The ST. Vincent football team eigh-
teen strong, will leave for California
week from Wednesday to fill Christ
mas day engagement with an all-star
coast eleven. It was the original plan
OF Coach Hagerty to schedule games on
the coast with the st. Vincent team OF
Los Angeles, one or two other strong
college elevens, and the Los Angeles
high school team.
This plan was perforce given up
when word was received from the
management Of the Los Angeles st.
Vincent eleven that no one college
squad on the coast would be strong
enough for a brush with the Chicago
ans. The showing of the latter against
Notre Dame made an impression on
the gentlemen of the west.
The result is that they have selected
the best players from the colleges
around Los Angeles and San Francis
co and will work hard in preparation
for the battle with the Fasteners.
The coast eleven is made UP of play
ers from st. Vincent's. the University
of Southern California. Occidental coll
lege and Pomona college. The game
will be played in Los Angeles Christ
mas afternoon.

gerty will Immediately set out to de-
