Labor Exchanges Come to Wageworker
Desk in Handsome Array.
Gee, but the holiday issues of the
labor papers of the country were
mighty fine. The Wageworker gets a
lot of them, and SO numerous were the
handsome holiday editions that il
would be useless to attempt to give
them individual mention. But it re-
joices us in spirit and makes us ex-
ceedingly glad to note the increasing
prosperity of the labor papers of the
country. The labor editor is coming
into his own, and if he will only hold
up his head and insist upon being
treated as a business man he will con-
tinue to prosper in increasing meas
ure.
This reminds us that there are about
a hundred of them who have not yet
affiliated with the International La
Dor. Press Association. They ought to
come in and help put the business on
higher and better plane. They car
learn something to their advantage by
addressing the secretary-treasurer,
Will M. Maupin, Lincoln, Nebraska.
It's little late, but here's hoping
that every labor editor in the country
had Merry Christmas, and that every
and prosperous new year.

ANTi.TueERcULosis CRUSADE.

The trades unions of the country
welcome with gratitude the assis-
tance of every agency that looks to-
ward the eradication of tuberculo-
sis. For this reason there should be
the heartiest cooperation between
the local trades unions of Nebraska
and the Nebraska Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculo-
sis. This society is doing splendid
work, and asks the hearty support
and cooperation of not only the diff
ferent local unions, but the Nebras-
ka State Federation of Labor.
tuberculosis is the great enemy OF
the wage earners for the simple rea-
son that it breeds and thrives un-
der conditions that surround workers
under present conditions. The socf-
ETY. is aiming to stamp out the great
white plague by doing away with the
conditions under which it breeds and
thrives. II 1t succeeds in this it will
have succeeded in accomplishing that
which the unions are trying to ac'
complish, namely, the bettering OF
sanitary conditions. Surely the unions
will welcome any help along these
lines.
Mrs. X r. ]. Edholm. of Omaha,
secretary of the Nebraska society,
has kindly accepted an initiation to
address the Nebraska State Fedora
ton of Labor convention at South
Omaha next month on this important
topic. Her address will be of inter

ONLY TWO ARE LEFT
Evers and Lajoie Only Big Nine Sec
ond Basemen to Hold
Their Jobs.

New York, Nov. 24.-What an awful
havoc Father Time has played with sec
ond basemen in the big leagues during
the last three seasons
Never before In the history of the game
have there been SO many changes in one
position as there have been in the second
base guardianship. OF the sixteen men
who covered that territory on the major
league teams in the fall of 1896 only two
are still holding down the same job. They
are Johnny Evers of the Chicago Nation
ais and Nap. LajOie of the Cievelands.
The other fourteen teams have changed
second basemen once or more in that
time.
Among the second basemen who appear
to have been crowded out permanently
as regulars or are only holding on tenn
porariiy during that period are Miller
Higgins of the Reds, Ed Abbatichio of
the Pittsburgs, Kid Gleason of the
Utilities, Charles of the St Louis Nation
ais, Laporte of Boston and New York
Americans, fsbell of Chicago Americans,
COrcOran of New York Nationals, Richey
of Boston Nationals, Alperman of the
Brooklyns, and several others who came
in as experiments but didn't stick.
Several second basemen also switched
teams during that time, notably Jimmy
Williams, from New York Americans TO
St Louis Americans; Conroy, from New
York Americans to Washington; Schaefer,
from Detroit to Washington; and Dele
hanty, from Washington to Detroit. Egan
of Cincinnati, Knabe of Philadelphia Ma
tiOnals, Miller of Pittsburg, Mcconnell
Of Boston Americans. Purtell and Atz of
Chicago Americans, Gardner of New York
Americans, and Redmond of Brooklyn are
the newcomers who have attracted the
most attention during the last three sea-
sons It is quite likely that Evers and
Lajoie will last some seasons longer,
thereby leaving no certain openings in the
second base field for years to come. But
what canning of second sackers in the
last three years.

GREAT TRACK ATHLETE
TO RETIRE FROM GAME

New York, Nov. A.-Harry Hillman, the
greatest hurdler and one of the best mid
Gle distance runners this country has ever
produced, has decided to retire permanent
~ from athletic competition. He gives
several good reasons for quitting the Gin
der path, among them that it is better
to retire now before any mishap might
dim his many hard-wOn laurels
Harry tried to retire several months
ago, but desire on the part of the big
athletic clubs 40 secure his entry caused
him to change his nina. He says he
won't come back again.
Hlllman has business matters to keep
him busy and he feels that 1t is impossf-
bic for him to devote the necessary time
TO training; and Harry was never a man
to run unless he was in the best shape
possible. Athletics also take too much
time from the home circle. As a first
Lieutenant in the Thirteenth regiment.
Hillman would also like to be of great
use to the athletes.
During the national CHAMPIONSHIPS at
Seattle, Hillnan received an injury to his
knee. Many thought that the reason why
he has not competed lately, but the knee
is as good as ever now and doesn't bother
him at all.

JEFF KEEN ABOUT
FIGHT WITH JACK

IF 1 had my way I would have the man
who is to referee in my championship
fight with Jack Johnson judge the battle
from outside the ring, like they do in
England" says Jim Jeffries. This an
nouncement was made by the big cham
pion after listening to an argument be
tween Sam Berger, Bob Vernon and Jack
Gleason, the California fight promoter,
on the subject. Il have always been
great admirer of the English style. In
the IlrSt place, fighter knows perfectly
well that if he holds on he is liable to be
disqualified and on that account he will
do more real fighting. l really think they
should try the English style over here,
for it would result in faster and better
fights and also give the public better
run for its money"
Jim Jeffries has given the fight fans of
this country something new to think
about by suggesting that the referee of
his fight with Johnson shall sit outside
the ring. This is the rule which prevails
at the National Sporting club in Eng
land, where Jeffries has seen number of
bouts decided.
The scheme appealed TO the big fellow,
and he would like to have it tried in his
next championship battle
Americans, however, are not likely to
take kindly to the suggestion for the JEFF
fries-Johnson settO- No innovations are
desired in a contest of such great inn
portance, and it is not likely that the
try any new schemes.
The English idea of refereeing, accord
ing to those who have seen it worked, has
something on the plan which prevails here
of having the referee in the ring.
In England, the boxers are accustomed
to breaking clean" They resort less to
clincbing than the American boxers, and
when told to break by the referee, they
do so at once without trying TO hit on the
Dreakaway. Should a boxer disObey the
referees order after one warning he is
likely to be disqualified.
In this country the referee has no such |
cinch. Boxers here clinch and hang on |
for dear life, and it is considered by them |
and by many of the spectators as legit- |
innate part of the game. This trick caused |
the Acknowledgement bout in this city |
TO be nothing less than a farce.
In this country, too, boxers pay little |
attention to the referees warning They /
clinch repeatedly, and in nearly every |
bout the referee is kept busy prying the /
boxers apart. The English rule of hav-
ing the referee outside the ring and of /
compelling obedience to the referees or /
deTs appears to be much better than the 4
custom here
Promoters in this city are usually so /
keen on the scent of novelties that it /
is a wonder the scheme has not been |
tried here. While the, idea would be a /
good one to put to the test in small bouts.
where no decisions are rendered by the /
referee, there is little chance of Jeffries'
idea. good as il may be, being tried out
in a championship battle until American |
fighters and fight patrons have been (
gradually educated to the English plan.
