and John A Jones. the East Chicago
delegates of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton OF Iron, Steel and Tin Workers to
the conference with the Western Bar
Iron association at Detroit last week.
arrived home yesterday. The confer
ence agreed on a new scale from 1908
and 1909 which seems to be pretty gen
orally acceptable to the mill workers
of East Chicago.
The new scale is a slight reduction
from the one in force in 1906 and 1907.
In 1897 and 1908 the men received an
advance of from 5 to IN per cent.
This was taken off together with about
per cent more. The puddlers, how
ever. will get a slight advance over
the 1906-07 rate but they are only ones
who will. all the others getting a small
decrease. The Republic people are ex-
pected to agree to the scale also and
il is to be hoped they viii and the
mills started again.

Philadelphia, July 13.-The White
Sox and Athletics broke even today in
the double header. The Philadelphia
team won the first game by the score of
to l, and in the second game the
Sox led all the way, finishing with the
count Of to . in their favor.
Two of the Athletics pitchers were
knockedout during the afternoon. Jim
my Dygert was forced to quit before he
had finished one round of the first
game as the Sox had no trouble in hit
ting his delivery. Eddie Plank took his
place and managed to hold the Sox
without another run. although he was
hit hard and often in the last few
innings of the game
Manuel was the Chicago pitcher. He
was wild, but was not hit as often
as Plank. He gave three bases on
balls, two of which resulted in runs,
made one wild pitch that was costly

When Hughes reached the Chelten-

was the place he first learned to play
ball, and he being now too old to play
ball it was where he would finish up
The first two runs made by the Colts
were made on errors; the last run be-

PLAYERS and the other between two of
the best known semi professional teams
Of Chicago. The American league park,
where the games were played this af-
ternoon. was scarcely able to accomo-
date the crowd that sought admitance.
Schaefer was taken i'll nearly a year
ago and his condition is such that he
never will be able to play a champion
ship game again. He is fifty three
wears Of age and has been a profes
sional billiard player for thirty five
years. When in his prime he was with
out at peer at the "gentlemen's game.
His first professional appearance was In
a game with George SIosson at Indian
aDolis in 1873. on which occasion he
was beaten 500 to 3S1. The first pro
fessionaI tournament in which he took
part was played in Tammany hall in
New York in 1875. when he won two
out of six games at straight rail bill
liards At Cooper Institute tire years
later he won the championship by de-
feating SIosson. GARNER, Sexton and
other of the famous cue experts Of
that day.
Schaefer is one of the veterans of the
sporting world. Thirty years ago when
he was holding his first championship
honors John l. Sullivan was preparing
for his match with Joe Goss; Dan
O'Leary had just made a 1Oo-mile pro-
fessional record as a pedestrian and
Edward Hanlon, the champion oarsman,
was in his prime. Schaefer survived
in active service all of these and many
more. Crippled and almost maine from
rheumatism and accidents, and COM
PEELED to change his stroke because Of
physical infirmaties, he continued up
to the time of his present illness to
play the ost perfect nursing and masse
game known and at the time he was
taken to his bed he was matched to
play George Sutton for the 1871 balk-
line championship.

Cubs Only the Giants double victory
a Pittsburg kept the champs on their
lofty perch. 1t was a tight squeeze. but
the gay Quakers had six runs to show
at the finish as against only five for

chance TO raise thunder in the ninth
with two out and men on second and

gobbled by Mr.. Red" Doom and the
game was over.
The two costly errors on the Philles'

ANDERSON WILL
Be IN FINE TRIM
Bout Between Anderson and
Caponi on Labor Day
to be Hummer.
CONTEST TO DRAW BIG CROWDS
Tony Caponi of Chicago, Will Be
the Local Middleweight's
Opponent.

Carl Anderson Is looking forward to
his fight with Tony CapOni on Labor
Day with the expectation of giving the
Italian the fight of his life.
Anderson says that the great diff
fculty In the past has been the fact
that he has had to train down to n
weight SO low that 1t greatly reduced
his effectiveness.
This time he will fight at catch
weight and he will be as strong as
too far with the process of reducing
weight.
The boxing contest is to be pulled off
in Hammond and will be widely ad
vertised throughout the whole region.
Anderson said that he was anxious to
secure some one who would be a card
as a referee.
Many Fans Expected.
He has several people in mind, but
he does not care to say much about
them until he is sure he can get one or
another. 1t is understood that there
will be a large number of fight fans
out from Chicago and Gary and the
other neighboring cities.
One of the drawing cards at the box
ing contest Will be the fact that the
returns of the Gans-Nelson fight, which
is to be held on Labor Day, will be re-
ceived during the evening.
This in itself will be a big attraction
and will make the entertainment worth
going to see. Carl Anderson goes into
training today and he expects to be in
fine fettle before his go with Caponi.
Caponi is one of the toughest fell
lows in the game at his class and if
the Hammond man can make a show
ing with him he is sure to Re able to
get some more good fights.
The $3.50 forfeit has already been
posted and Anderson is willing to let
| that amount stand as a side bet If Ca
poni is willing The gate receipts will
be divided, 10 per cent to the winner
and 25 per cent to the loser.
