BROWNS BIC SCHEME
Chicago Pitcher Says Ball Play
ers Should Be Numbered.
INNOVATION MAY BE TRIED.
Three Fingered One Boosting Plan to
Have Figures Designate Identity OF
Each Player on Team-WouId 30 OF
Great Help TO Spectators.


ut will not be long, probably next
rear, when NIL ball players VIII wear
numbers just like athletes In n track
meet or jockeys on a race track" said
Mordccal Brown. the Chicago Nation
ais star twIrler. recently.
The three fingered one was asked
what he thought of such scheme and
SAID ne mad always encouraged II ana
would like to see rule passed by the
National baseball commission making
1t compulsory for every player TO wear
his number on his back, so that every
man and woman In the grand stand
could readily identify the player at
bat or In the field or wherever no
might be.
II know It must be troublesome for
the people In the grand stand to fol-
low the players, especially visiting
teams" continued Brown. 1T would
be 30 easy for player to have his
number made right in his suit, and the
programme would carry the key.
"For instance. the programme could
print the list of players on the team,
beginning with Chance, i; King, z;
Overall, 8, and so on down the list OF
names until every player had been
numbered. When he came to bat his
number on his back would furnish the
kew to the Identification.
'What swell mixup there would
be at track meet II the competitors
were not numbered! How many per-
sons In u grand stand would know the
winner of horse race II they were
not guided by numbers? Then why
should It not be just as Important for
baseball players to be identified?

The per value OF the stock is 500
per share, but IS now offered at one
half (ss0) and it is worth it. The
company has already sold limited
amount Of stock, equipped the prop
erty with the best working machinery
in the world and it has plans for
great future. The money secured
from the sale Of stock will be to push
the work. Every dolar will be used
to prepare for the best interest of the
company. AS the drill goes down the
stock will surely rise. The price it is
now offered at will only be a short
time. A good rule 10 to let oppor-
tunity in when it knocks at the door.
For an investment there IS nothing
more tangible, brighter or more surer
dividend paying than this stock, par
ticularly at $50 per share. Don't wait

RESULT OF THE POLL KNOWN
Local Carmen, Blacksniths, Boilermakers Dom
Favor Shike---Sensational Reports Gen
orally Denounced Developments.

1t Is learned today by The Senti-
mel on absolutely reliable authority
that the result of the secret ballot
taken in Grand Junction among the
employees of the mechanical depart
ment of the Denver G. Rio Grande
has resulted as follows:
The car men unanimously decide
to. stand by the company
The blacksmiths unanimously de-
eide to stand by the company.
81 per cent of the votes of the
boilermakers are for no strike.
The machinists are undecided,
resentatives who are now In Denver
to confer with the Rio Grande man
agement.
The Vote at SaNda.
The Sentinel also ascertained this
afternoon on absolutely good au-
thority that the vote of the men in
the shops at Salida is almost identi-
cal in its nature with the vote of the
Grand Junction men.
These vote results will be sent in
to Denver today.
The result of the vote taken at
Salt Lake City, Burnham and Den
yer Is only a matter of conjecture.
Prominent railroad men on the
employees side, not officials of the
company, have been heard to ex-
press the belief today that an AMIGA
BILE settlement will be reached be-
tween the management then and that
no general strike is probable but Of
course is possible.
No Slips Used.
The statement sent out in the As
ISOLATED Press dispatches from Den
yer yesterday to the effect that print
ed slips had been distributed among
the machinists, boilermakers and
others, with the request that they
sign up to agree to stand by the new
rules under a threat of discharge If
they failed to do so, proves to be un-
true.
The Sentinel is in position to state
with authority that no printed slips
have been distributed among the men
and they have not been required to
attach their names to any kind of an
agreement or contract.
Again The Sentinel learns that the
company has no intention of firing"
or disch arging any of the employees
of the mechanical department who
decline to express willingness to
stand by the company's new rules.
The True Facts In the Matter.
Instead of the men being presented
with printed slips and requested to
put Yes" or mo" down in black
and white. the true facts in this con-
nection are as follows:
The management of the company
sent on Thursday night to the fore
men of the various departments of
the mechanical work circular let
ter. This letter referred to the new
rules and regulations that will gov
ern the shops after March 18th. Each

MANY BIG SLIDES
RUN AT SlLVERTON
Especial to The sentinel.)


Silverton, Colo, Mar NEARLY
a dozen snow slides have run in tho
last As hours in the mountains ad-
jacent to Silverton, causing great
property loss and endangering the,
lives of many people. ).
John Hennings, an employee at the
Iowa mine, is the worst injured OF a
score of victims. He was caught in
slide which carried away part of
the mine buildings and was badly
crushed. He was dug out from un-
der tons of snow, and, it is believed
will recover.
One slide carried out portion OF
the Silver Lake tram and also dam
aged the farmhouse.
A snow slide occurred on Mineral
creek, destroying several mine build
ings and causing loss of $1,000
The loss to the Iowa mill owners is
$4,000.
Telephone lines to all sections of
the district are down and details are
lacking. 1t is feared that loss OF
life may have resulted from some
of the larger slides.
Many of the big mines in the camp
are closed because of inability to get
power, owing to the destruction OF
the Animas Power Company's lines

foreman was instructed in this letter,
which is to large extent in the ma
ture of bulletin, to talk personally
with the men under his charge and
ascertain if they were willing to re-
main with the company under the
new rules and regulations. Not a
man was to be asked, or has been
asked with the authority of the rail-
road, to. sign his name or a "Yes" OF
No. Simply an expression of opin-
ion was wanted from each man. No
slips OF any kind were distributed for
signatures and no man has been or
will be compelled to express his opin-
ion in the matter. For instance the
foreman has addressed many of the
men in this manner, Cam you con-
scientiously work for the company
under these new rules?"
No Orders to Discharge.
The sensational reports sent out
from this city by a local paper to the
effect that every man who did not
sign "Yes" or agree to stay with the
company is denounced by high offic-
ials of the road to be absolutely false
and without foundation.
From what The Sentinel can learn,
and it has been in communication to-
day with men of high authority in
the service. the company has no in
tention whatever of discharging any
of the men. There have absolutely
been no orders to this effect issued.
No threats have been made to the
men and none will be made.
There has been no order issued or
no statement sent out by the railway
management from which it may be
assumed that the men who do not
agree to work under the new rules
will be promptly discharged on
March 18th.
The company is now simply en-
deavoring to get Ia touch with the
sentiment of the men regarding the
new rules, etc.
An official of the company de-
clared to The Sentinel this morning
that no fight is being made against
the men and many of the reports to
the effect that enmity exists are high
" exaggerated.
Yellow Reports Sent Out.
There is no question but what re-
ports of the most sensational and
''yellow" nature have been sent out
of Grand Junction by certain CORES
pondents for Denver papers regard
ing the situation anc conservative
men on both sides declare that such
reports can only make matters worse
for the men and for the company.
RightfulIy Non-Committal.
The machinists. as stated above,
are undecided on the strike PROPOSE
ton and the Grand Junction machin-
lists decline to express themselves in
decided manned. Naturally they
would take this course as they are
desirous of being governed by their
representatives who are now In Den
yer.
