executive board of the Amalgamated
association OF Street and Electric
Railwaym Employees of America

erai strike of the $4,000 members of the

way company have been instructed to
gather at New Haven. Conn.,, tomorrow

future conduct.
The trouble started in this city when
fifty-four men on the Rhode Island
companys street railway system, con-
trolled by the New York, New Haven
& Hartford railroad, were discharged.
The company stated that the men
were released because of breach of

Amalgamated association.
Mr.. Walsh stated today that should
a strike be declared only the New Ha-
ven system, including 1000 men. would

To the friends of the Edison and
Hoegee teams and the fans of the
great national game:
This Edison VS.. Hoegee game Will
be one of the best that has taken place
in Southern California for long time.
The Edisons still have a perfect per
| centage of 1000, having won all SIN
games, while the Hoegees are only one
game behind. The Edisons have gained
| the name of being one of the cleanest
| lot of ball players in the state, while
their fielding is phenomenal.
Manager Ward Of the Edisons always
instructs his players before entering
game that they must respect the UNI
pire and the players of the opposing
team, and If they lose the best team
wins. On the other hand, the Hoegees
are known as a bunch of hard hitters,
rapping the ball to all corners OF the
lot. They never say die and always
are in game to win.
Manager Ward of the Edisons ex-
meets Bernie Mckay to arrive in time
to play with the Edisons week from
Sunday.
Manager Bill Goodman Of the Hoe
gees continues to get two and three
hits a game. 1t is stated on COCA
authority that he can sign with the
San Francisco team any time he wants
to do so. Another good one for the
California league, which shows the class
of ball they are putting up. Also, they
are after Pitcher Lyman Of the Ed
sons.
The Edison players feel happy nova
days at the success of Andy Briswalter
with the Los Angeles team. They re-
spect him and think very highly or MIN:
They made Andy promise he would
pitch for them in the Winter league
and as Andy always keeps his WORD the
Edisons will have one or the pest
pitchers to be found in Southern Cali
fornia. He has the first game to lose
to the San Pedros, McCormicks or Pas
adenas of the Pacific league. He
pitched the Edison team to victory
every time he pitched against these
| teams.
| Catcher Eagle of the Edisons Is after
a tryout with Oakland. Ward has taken
the proposition up with Van Haltren
| and no doubt he will be given try
out the next time Oakland visits Los
Angeles. Eagle has the making OF
great catcher, and Ward says he Is
conner. He is a good receiver, splen-
| did whip and extra good sticker and a
heady player.
Manager Hahn of the Chutes has g
bunch Of live ones at last and he will
make the other teams go some for
their money.
Manager Bondie of the Athletics
seems to be in bad luck. His team
plays good ball, but at the wrong time
some one of his players comes along
with an error. Cheer up, Bondie, you
will win some time.

NEW YORK. July THE report OF the
American Railway association, giving the
number of idle freight cars in the country
on June "a. shows that during the two
weeks from June 10 to "a, there was a
decrease Of 36,720 in the number OF surplus
cars. Just about one-third Of this repre-
sents a decrease in the number OF idle box
cars. The Improvement was by no means
uniform the country over. In the New
England states there was an increase in
the number OF idle cars, while the middle
western states showed substantial de-
creases.
There were on June "a total Of S12,s42
idle cars in this country and Canada on the
roads reporting TO the American Railway
association. compared with Sl9,567 on June
10 and with a maximum of 413,33S on April
%. The decrease reported is the fourth
consecutive decrease in two months, or a
total reduction OF 100, 491 idle freight cars
The resumption of mining in parts Of the
btuminous coal fields, which were idle for
most of the month OF April, was the first
important factor which operated toward
a decrease in the number of idle cars
much OF them seemingly connected with the
crop moving requirements, has further de-
creased the idle list.
