heads of the eXpressmen's strike.
Charles W. Foster. secretary of the
International Brotherhood of Team

be held to decide this question.
There ii will be decided if the gen
eral strike order, which would tie up
the city so that few men or goods
could move except on street cars, sub
way or elevated, shall be issued.
In the meantime Mayor Gaynor, Mr.
Foster said, has agreed to meet
committee of the strikers at his otli 'c.
a committee called on him to say that
they wanted TO protest against the
presence of policemen on express wag-
ons.
a riot. in which one man was in
jured seriously and two arrests were
made on charges of felonious assault,
occurred at the American express sta
ton at Forty-seventh street and Madi-
son avenue. About $50 strikers were
standing in front of the place when
wagon with the usual police guard
approached. Some one threw stone.
and Immediately the air was filled
with missiles.
At the first volley William Hoyt,
helper. who was on the seat beside
the driver was hit on the head and
knocked from his seat to the ground.
He was carried unconscious into the
express station.
The police. mounted and foot, charg
ed the mob, using their long night
sticks freely. Central Office detec-
tives scattered among the mob also
used their clubs.
With mounted policemen Gathering
about the streets driving Off riotous
strikers at one point. guarding eX-
press wagon drivers at another spot
and with policemen on foot in clusters
at nearly every corner with drawn
night sticks. many displaying revolv-
ers. the vehicles of the employing com
panies meantime dashing to and fro in
an effort to avoid showers of rocks
hurled by the strikers and their sym
pathizers, the strike situation was not
only full of danger and excitement.
but also exceedingly picturesque.
The crowds along Broadway were
frequently treated to the spectacle Of
an express auto or horse drawn wag-
on hurrying along at top speed while
in front galloped two mounted police
men and two more mounted bluecoats
brought up the rear.
Scrambling along the sidewalks in
some instances would come strike sym
pathizers eager to get chance to
send n volley Of stones at the driver
and the police. Then the foot police
men would swOop down on the mis-
chief makers, who would melt away
under the menace of night sticks.

WHO IS FASTEST PLAYERg
Contest in Circling Bases Is Suggest
ed fer Saturday by Ty Cobb.

Special Dispatch To The star.
PHILADELPHIA, October 13.--Who is
the fastest man circlng the bases in the
American League? A question that is
often asked. Yes. But SO far it has never
been answered.
In Philadelphia today are the star
players of President Ban johnson or
ganization. And among them are sever
al men who are recognized as the best
sprinters around the base paths. WHY
would il not be a good idea To have u
test right here and now and at least de-
eide the question of supremacy for the
present?
Tyrus Cobb. the Detroit outiielder, who
is playing with the All-Stars against the
Athletics, is father of the idea To have
a contest next Saturday before the game.
He believes he is the fastest man i'm the
league. But he recognizes in Eddie Col
Inns of the Athletics and Milan of Wash
ington two men who might be able To
beat him in an actual test.
Cobb suggests that before Saturday
game Collins, Milan and himself circle
the bases. timed by experts, and see who
is entitled t. be called the fastest. Tvs
idea is not - have a prize of any kind,
but merely make il a contest for sports
sake and give the Phiadelphians who at
tend the Athletic-All-Star game Saturday
a chance to see il.

CUBS RECEIVERS
VERY CONFIDENT
King and Archer Positive That
Athletics Will Be Un-

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, October 1:;.-'Will the
Athletics steal many bases in the world
series?''
That question was asked Catcher john
ny King of the Chicago Cubs base ball
team, and he declared himself on what
he thinks Connie Mack's men will do on
the bases if they get there. In this i'm
portant conflict King will be a point of
interest to the fans here and in Philadel-
phia, owing to his absence from the game
last season. 1t has been asked whether
he has gone back or if he is good as
ever; therefore. king himself willingly
gives his opinion OH the base running of
the Athletics
When the great backstop was asked
the above question he replied:
First of all. the Athletics must get on
base When they do. then it is time to
be the alert, but not sufficiently to
cause me or the pitchers any unnecessary
worry. OF course, much depends on the
pitchers. and men can be relied on
to great extent Every one watches
he bases carefully, and runner is not
going to get off far enough to make pill
ferinG n sack easy task. Should run
ners succeed in gaining d good lead |
think Jimmy Archer or myself will be
able to get orr throws down in time to
have the umpire call the stealer out.
Some people think my arm is not as
good it was 1t may not have the
same snap of three and four years ago.
That is Impossible TO regain. but | Will
say this much-that it is still good. Ed
die Collins Will not give Archer or my
self bit of trouble, | believe. When we
played the Detroit series TX Cobb was
expected to Durlon bases at will. IN the
first series in 1881 he did not steal one
base. The men we beast eXpeced to seal
the sacks did In 1908 he succeeded in
stealing two bases. Two stolen bases in
ten games is not much OF record for Il
man with Cobbs reputation. The same
may happen to Eddie Collins.
jimmy Archers views on the series are
ractically the same Kings. With an
arm like Archer has he should not in JUS
tee TO himself. think differently, fans say.
The young backstop's own teammates
praise him as being the greatest throwing
catcher VINO ever put on the mask and
protector To the fans ii seems only
natural fer them to do so. They are not
the only players or base ball experts who
say that. On the National League circuit
Archer is regarded the quickest and
hardest pegger i'll the league.
