TURKS HERE FOR
SERIES WITH
TIGERS
The Turks are here.

The Turks are here.
Mike Lynch and his aggregation
of short-fence home-runf artists
came over to Athletic park this
afternoon for their first appear
ance in Tacoma against the Tigers.
Mike is conceded to be the best
manager in the league on inside
baseball, and with hard hitting
team behind him, he is making
trouble for all of them. Tacoma
fans are rather inclined to look
for drubbing this week but, II
luck breaks right, the team may
yet show the Turks a few tricks.
There is considerable dissatis-
faction shown over the MANAGE
ment of Russ Hall this year. The
tickle fans who think everything
all right as long as victory perches
on the banner of the home team
and who know everything is dead
wrong as soon as defeat comes,
charge Hall with playing favorites.
They say that he puts some players
in and keeps them in when better
men are on the bench.
The long Acquaintance of the
Tacoma fans with the winning
baseball tactics of Mike Lynch
makes 1t hard on others who essay
the task of directing the destinies
lof the Tigers in Tacoma.

STANFORD TEAM
TAKES BOAT RACE
FROM WASHINGTON

SEATTLE, June I'm the three
mile race on Lake Washington
yesterday, Leland Stanford univer-
sity of California defeated Univer-
sity of Washington in the eight
cared shell race by three lengths.
The time was 1870.
1t was a pretty race. Stanford
started with 3S strokes and drop
ped to SO and at the end of the
first mile Washington led. Near
the end of the second mile Stan
ford increased to 40 strokes and
Washington, at "a, was left be-
hind Washington braced up and
pulled up even again but Stanford
increased her stroke and pulled
away at the finish.
Stanford averaged 30 pounds
heavier than Washington, and
Washington was favorite before
the race.

land other places, a subsidiary
company of the Northern Pacific,
will try to stop the loss of life in

a steel and rubber alright helmet

is sail to be absolutely impervious

connected by a rubber tube, which
in turn runs to a tank in which
oxygen is confined. This supplies
the air necessary for breathing

What would American capital
lists say IL government officials at
Washington fathered bill COM
polling contractors who do work
for and furnish supplies to Uncle
Sam to treat with their employees
in an organized capacityf That
is precisely what the British gov
eminent, led by Winston Churchill,
is doing. The British cabinet has
laid before parliament a measure
known as the trade boards bill,
which is an advanced scheme OF
social reconstruction. and amounts
to the government performing
the function of a trade union, espe-
ciaIly In trades in which the work.
ers are still unorganized.
These trade boards will be COM
posed of public officials and repre-
|sentatives of employers and EN-
ployes, and they will have the
power to fix wages, hours and 9TH
er working conditions. Six months
after the trade board arranges the
rates they become obligatory and
will be enforced by the govern
ment. But within the six months
period those employers who volun-
tarily accept the board decisions
will be placed on a white" or fair
list, and will be the only ones ell
gible for government contracts.
The bill will undoubtedly go
through parliament land there
will be no supreme court to de-
clare it uneonstitutionaD. Great
Britain will thus become the sec

stantly expecting the bail to be
thrown to third, cannot do his best
because he must be ready to stop
and return toward second at any
moment. But the shortstop, un-
hindered by any such thought, can
run at full speed, which he does.

he slides for the bag, only to be
