One Jeems McAleer. of the sixth plae-

Of the Mound City sport writer's can be
relied upon as the truthful stuff Here's
another lift which the Post-Dispatch
hands the Nationals boss:

Aleer who directed the Browns for so
many years. To MeAleer's credit, It must
be said that this kind of work goes well
with his players His line Of unceasing
chatter appears 10 keep his players on
their toes from the first to the last They
don't appear 70 know what quit means.
THAT McAleer still bears an old grudge
against ST. Louis and St Louis fans was
evidenced by little incident that hap
pened IN the sixth inning, with Washing
ton at bat. The score at that tine was
tied, and Mcbride opened the session
with a single.
George was dancing off first, with
McAleer In the coacher's box at that
section Of the diamond. With ConToy

his voice. Come on, Wild, The old army

"As was the case when McAieer was
with the ST. Louis team. he had in
stTucted the batter 10 sacrifice. Wild
tried 10 lay down the hunt. but as so
many ST Louis players under MeAleer
have done. Conroy popped the ball to
Hartzell, and Mcbride narrowly escaped
being doubled off first.
'McAleer, as leader Of the Browns,
was always the long-faced chap. He
had always been famed as a hard loser.
When things broke against HIS team he
plainly showed IL in his disposition and
actions. He was never there with the
Jolly for hts players when they pulled
a good play Neither did he cheer mis-
boys after some blunder.

His first putt was about two or three

MEN RESUME WORK
 ON STATE CAPITOL
All Except the Sheet Metal Workers Go Back to Work on the Building Without Incident-NOn-U Union
 Contractors Still Silent.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 7.-Work was resumed on the new state capito1 this morning, all the men returning to their places, with the exception of the sheet-metal workers. About 15o men were affected.
 There was no incident of any sort out of the ordinary. The men returned to their duties as quietly as they had withdrawn. and in little while the superstructure was again alive wits workmen.
 But no sheetmetal workers went on the job. As the commission ha7 promised the union that none eXnenf the men with union cards will be al. lowed on the job, and as the non-un- ion contractors are still firm in tho refusal to ''sign up, there was no resumption of the sheet-metal opera tions
 At noon the contracting firm Of Haley & Hornibrook were still silent do u IIl0lI 1lttuCiOuS. uc duS W 6T tO questions as to what they intended to do was met with the brief statement, "We have nothing to give out"
 It is somewhat significant, however. that no attempt was made to put men on the job held by Haley & Horni- brook indicating that the union, com mission, and all others interested, do not care to force an issue involving the contract held by that firm.
 Apparently everything now depends on the next move of the non-union contractors, as to what complications, if any, the situation may assume.
 Incidentally, Governor Donaghey is at Newport today, where he deliver a campaign address in his candidacy for reelection for governor, and eyi- dently feels that so far as the commis- sion is concerned, the matter has been adjusted.

GORE EMBARRASSED
Oklahoma Senator Left His Other Pair of Pants in Washington,
 Containing His Wallet.

St. Louis, Feb. Limited States Senator T. P. Gore, of Oklahoma, ar rived here last night in a state of great financial embarrassment. In fact he was compelled to borrow mon ey Of a stranger on the train to pay his fare from Washington to St. Louis
 His predicament came about because he boasts two pairs of pants-the che he had on, the other with his wallet in the hip pocket occupies the post of honor in the senator's boudoir in the capital.
 Summoned back to Oklahoma by an urgent message Saturday night, he hastily dOnned the trousers in which he likes to appear before his con- stituents, and ran for the train. When the conductor came along he found no wallet and but for kindly stranger the senator would have been compelled to walk.
 Former Governor Francis and oth- CT Democrats came to his rescue when he arrived here and he was able to continue his journey later in the evening.
