AMERICAN LEAGUE
 LOSES 0LD STARS
Collins and Griffith Among Those No Longer
 With Ban Johnson.

Players who figured fin the Ameri- can League during the opening season of the organization fin the east--I901 are rapidly passing out of the lime light. Comparatively few of the men who were with the Ban Johnson forces in that year are now drawing saiary rom clubs in the American League.
 Three men figured in the news of yesterday who were leading ligats iii the days when the two major leagues were at war. These were Jimmy Col hns, Socks" Seyboid and ClarKe Griffith, two Of whom were in the thick of the fray, Collins as manager of the Boston club and Griffith as manager of New York
 All had previously played. in the Ma uona' League. Collins and Griffith as stars and SeyhOld with Cincinnati.
 The American League has been d major organization only eight seasons, and yet the stars over whom the war ring factions waged such a bitter con iiict have already passed the zenith of their powers. Griffithis still tread ing the pathway of fortune, for he yes terday signed to manage the Cincin- nati team
 Twice the "Old Fox as Griffith !s called, came near landing the champ ionship for the New York Americans.
 Once he was beaten out for the co. eted honor by Collins, who, in 1904, led Boston to it's second successive championship. It was on the final day of the season that the forces of Cor lins and Griffith met at New York in the double header which decided the late of the pennant.
 New York needed two victories ls land t3e flag, and Boston required onIy enc victory. Collins team won tic first game, the deciding play being (, wild pitch by Chesbrc.
 Strangely enough Criger. who has just been traded by Boston to s,,. Louis, was the player who darted o,vr the plate, when Chesbro made his costly heave.
 Seyb3Id, who has made much of the Athletics history during the past eigI, seasons, and Collins were uncouditlyu ally released by Manager Mack yvs- terday. Both have good prospects for next season, although each is well fixed financially, and no longer has tU play baseball for living.
 Collins. who received a very high salary, both at Boston and in this city, has his money invested in real estaLs. at Buffalo, while Seybold and his fla ther own thousands of acres of lana in the south, and also have q profita- ble business at Jeanette, Pa.

.NO BAD EFFECTS FROM MEXICAN LABOR WHILE T IS TRANSIENT

WASHINGTON Dee. Mexican Labor in the United States Is the subject Of an article by Dr. Victor <. Clark, in Bulletin No. 7s Of the lafeae of labor Of the department of com merce and labor.
 Within less than decade there has been a large increase in the amount of Mexican labor employed m the United States, but more marked even has been the Increasing range of It's distribution. As recently as 1900, immigrant Mexieans were seldom found more than hanGreG miles from { the border. Now they are working as uhskilled laborers and as section hands as far east as Chicago and as far north as Iowa, Wyoming and San 1 Francisco. The number of different industries in the southwest which are dependent upon Mexican labor Is in creasing. In some occupations Mexi- cans are rapidly displacing Japanese and Greeks, and even Italians.
 Compared with the numbers of Ital- fans and Slays coming in upon the Atlantic coast, the number of the Mex lean immigrants IS still smali-be- 1 tween 60.000 and 100000. They are. however. entering a sparsely settled territory which has great demand for labor
 The Mexican immigrants are mostly from the peon and from the migratory labor class, from region where agri- culture and mining are the chief em- ployments. They are of Indian blood with slight infusion of white blood, but Indian in physique. temperament, character and mentality.
 Brought from the farms and mines to work upon the railways of north ern Mexico, the Mexican labOrer drawn by the higher wage paid in the United States, is easily attracted across the border, where the mine, the railway, the cotton field. and oth- CT employemnts have furnished work for increasing numbers each year,
 As Iaborer the Mexican immigrant is said to be unambitious, physically not strong. and somewhat indolent and irregular, but against this is put the fact that he is Cucile. patient, or ! 3crly in camp, fairly intelligent under competent supervision. obedient ana cheap. His strongest point with Une employer is his willingness to work for a low wage. At the wage and un- der the conditions under which ne will work, he is, by many employers, preferred to the Italian, Greek, Japa- nesc and other labor which is avail able.
 The Mexican labOrer, returning to his own country from the United States, carries back a new and high CT standard of living. He has become accustomed to better or at least diff ferent-clothing more varied food and Ia greater variety If wants. This rap idly has it's effect upon the community to which he returns
 So long as the Mexican immigration is transient, it is DoJ likely to have much influence upon the United States, except as It regulates the lab- or market in a limited number of uH-

 THAT PENNANT
Pirate Baseball Club Members Are Taking Good Care Of Themselves This Winter For 1909 Fight.

PITTSBURG, Pa. Dec. IS-Judg- ing from the tone of letters received at local baseball headquarters recent ly from members of the Pittsburg team. the Pirates are all wintering we'll and taking the best of care of themselves. So far as can be learned, they are all enjoying themselves to the limit and keping in splendid con ditioa.
 There is no denying the fact that the fans are going to expect great things of Fred Clarke's cohorts in the season of 1909, and there is no reason for believing, now, that their expec- tations will not be realized
 Manager Fred Clarke wrote letter the other day to President Dreyfuss, in which he told of a very pleasant and successful hunt through Okla homa. The party travelled in two large wagons and slept in big tent and enjoyed the outdoor life very much. They had fine sport with their dogs and guns and, besides bagging seven raccoons and innumerable quail, captured, alive, eight coyotes. which will furnish sport for hunts later in the season.
 "Capn Fred writes that he is once more back on the Kansas ranch. He says there Is plenty to do to keep him employed all winter. but he is sure that he will be in splendid condition when reporting dime comes in the spring.
 He is taking a deep interest in the plans which President Dreyfuss out lined to him for the Pirates new park in the fashionable Oakland district and believes that the investment is a good one and that time will prove it to be a paying one.
 Tt looks like big sum of money 10 lay out at one time" he writes to his employer. but I do not need to tell you that baseball is not only a big business, but a growing and pros porous institution, and that you Wilt reap handsomely in the future With such plant, you ought to be able to make money, even with a second-rate team. But believe that you will have better than a second-rate team. We were right in the fight last season, and l am confident that with one or two changes, we will have a team that will stay in the running all summer have heard considerable about Hyatt the young outfielder we have secured from the coast, and if he hits half as well in fast company as he has been doing out there, he will prove the goods. 1 also had letter from Wag-

LA S0LEDAD MINE SAID ID BE RICH
Carries Strong Values In Gold With Some Copper and
 Silver

TUCSON. Desc. 1S.-Charles A. Young was in the city Thursday on his way to Santa Ana, California, his home. from his mining property in Llano. Sonora, Mexico, where he spent several days looking over the proper ty.
 NIT. Young, who did not desire to give the names ,of those interested in the mine, La Soledad. said that it was gold property, bearing also copper and silver. Several samples have been sent to the Fl Paso smelter and show ap so well that they will commence shipping to Fl Paso by the first of the year and expect to reap considerable profit from their property, which is one of the richest in their district.
 MT. Young said that the feeling of unrest, due to the Yaqui troubles, had gradually subsided and operations are going on in even better shape than before the troubles with the Indians commenced. New capital is being in troduced into Sonora daily and new properties are bing opened up. so that within a short time this will be one of the richest mining districts in the world. .@;y

 A letter was also received from Catcher George Gibson. who is winter ing in London Ont. He says he has been keeping in condition chasing a lone jackrabbit, which, to date, has eIuded capture. He says that jack rabbit is about the speediest thing he has ever run across, and declares that it would make a fine trainer for the Pirates. lie promises to catch it. if possible, and to take it along to Hot Springs, next March, so that the fat boys can get lots of exercise chasing it about Wilmington Park.

STEAMER
 WINS SEA BATTLE
After Many Days Fight Against Rough Seas Steamer
 Reaches Port.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Dec. Is.-FoI- lowing a battle of many days with the elements, the Norwegian steamer Fridtjof Nansen of Bergen. boand from Troon, Scotland, for Sydney, K. C., put in here today, with ten feet of water in aer fore hold. Capt. Meidei stated that at one time he never ex- pected to reach port.
 The Nansen left Troon on Noyem- Der. The ship had no cargo, and was so high out of water that she received the full 4s4rce of the series of gales which lasted eighteen days. When two days cut, the Nansen ran into a storm of hurricane proportions.
 High seas smashing aga nst the yes sel started a number of the riyets for ward and did other damage The. ship made water rapidly. but there was no great danger of the forehold filling until the pumps became chokeo.
 Then it was feared tae Nansen would go to the botfGzn, but temporary repairs were made during 8 hull in the storm, and for days the ship struggled through the pillows in an effort to reach St. Johns Today when the steamer entered port sae was well down forward. We. ghted by the water in the forehold ten feet deep.

THIEVES USE
CHLOROFORM
IN NIGHT RAID

Samuel Isabel and wife and son,
James and wife, who live at 5l0
Riverside avenue in the Hot Springs
addition, were chloroformed by rob-
bers, presumably chicken thieves, last
Saturday night, but were awakened
before serious results were produced
nv the anesthetic. About IL O'Clock
Samuel Isabel was aroused by some
unusual noise about the premises and
got out of bed, experiencing at the
same time feeling Of sickness, or
nausea, brought on by breathing tn"
poisoned atmosphere about him.
He found his wife sleeping heavily
and had some difficulty in awakening
her, His son and wife, who occupied
a tent some fifteen or twenty yards
away from the parental home were
also found to have been chloroformed,
but were finally reused form their
stupor and gotten out into the fresh
air of the night. The chloroform had
been injected into the sleeping rooms
OF both families through the open win
dows, by the use Of atomizers. and by
dropping into them small pieces OF
cloth saturated with the anaesthetic
The Isabell's are successful poultry
raisers and it is believed that the OBJ
iect in chloroforming them was to
carry off without opposition lot OF
chickens in one of the poultry houses
near by. Twice within the last ten
days or two weeks the Isabel poultry
houses have been raided by thieves
and It was known that the owners
we're prepared to resist any further
aggression in this particular. The
first time twenty valuable chickens
were stolen, and, on the second vista
ton by the robbers, fifteen were
taken; the aggregate value of which
was not much. If any. less than thirty
dollars.
The police were summoned to the
Isabel residence about IL o'clock Sat
urday night, but were unable to find
any trace of the would-be robbers, al
though In the alley at the rear Of the
house it was discovered that wagon
had turned around and driven away
sometime during the night. The
wagon, It is believed, was intended to
carry away he chickens. but, being
foiled of their purpose by the unex-
pected awakening of Mr.. Isabel to
drive it away without their anticipat-
ed booty.
