WAGE CONFERENCE
OPENS AT TOLECO
Miners and Operators BO;h Firm
In Their Demands.

Toledo, o., Feb. 8. - After several
postponements, the bituminous coal
operators of Ohio Indiana and west
ern Pennsylvania and representatives
Of the United Mine Workers got to-
gether in this city today in an effort
to decide new wage scale and fix a
basis for uniform contracts in all
other districts of the United States
and Canada. j. C. Kolson, manager
of the Jackson Hill Coal and Coke
company of Terre Haute, Ind, is pre-
siding over the deliberations.
The operators and miners both en-
ter the conference with their plans
and policies fully outlined.
The operators, in a lengthy state
ment. recite the difficulties with
which they have contended because
of cheap mining in West Virginia
and parts of Pennsylvania. The OPP
orators say that these unorganized
fields are rapidly acquiring control of
the market. They put it up to the
miners to either bring the West Vir-
ginia and Pennsylvania fields up to
conditions in the central competitive
field through organization, or suffer a
reduction in wages.
The miners demand an increase of
10 cents a ton for all coal mined by
hand and a proportionate increase In
the machine scale, and a number of
changes in working conditions.

SNYDER HELD
 CUBANS SAFE
Kustus, New Outfielder Shows
 up in Fine Form.

With Chief Snyder pitching winning ball, the Mechanics had no difficulty Saturday downing New Britain in the latter town 5-2. It was the first vis- it of the locals to the home of the prised by the snappy play of the Me chanics. Though New Britain grabbed one more hit than the Mechanics, their hits were scattered throughout the nine innings, with the result that there was not much damage done. The Me- chanics played a remarkable steady game in the field, in fact put their best fielding game since the season started. Though credited with two misplays neither figured in the run getting.
 The Mechanics can claim the con- test, mainly through their punching of hits. Right at the start Jimmy Hill led off with double. Capt. Eley ad- vanced him to the mid station with a pretty sacrifice. Kustus, the hew man, who replaced Steinhauser in left, celebrated his appearance by skipping a daisy single to left for Hall scoring.
 Hi Ladd in the second doubled and scored when Riley threw wild In the fifth KOcher got around to second on two errors, and pranced homeward when Hall contributed his third hit of the game. Chief Snyder lifted the pill over the fence in the seventh for the fourth tally. A base on balls to Hey, a steal of second by the same player. followed by another hit by Kustus chalked up the last run of the game.
 Two drives by the Cubans in the first produced their first tally, while Needham's double after Hummer had made a hit in the fifth brought in another run. It was in this inning that Chief Snyder showed the material he was made of. With Neadham on second and none out, the Chief com pelled the next three batters to hit to the infielders, Needham being held at mid station. The score by innings:
 R H E Bridgeport 0 0 1 1 0-5-S-2 New Britain 0 0 0 1 0 o 0 0-2-9-4 Batteries: Snyder and Kocher; Case and SanscheZ.

JEFFRIES EXTENDS TO PAPKE INVITATION TO
 JOIN "CHAMP'S" CAMP

Jeffries Training Camp Rowarden- nan, Cal, May 9.-Big, Jim Jeffries has consciously or unconsciously fall en into a new and fairly well fixed training routine The scheme of toll which Jeffries has lately adopted is to alternate the hard working days and the light working days. One day Jeff fries spreads about half a full days work over the entire twenty-four hours and on the following day he finds his ginger and strength at high water mark and plunges into long stretch of hard work with a great zest for it.
 Billy Papke will return to Reward ennan after his fight with Joe Thomas on May IA to train with Jim Jeffries Jeffries has taken great fancy to the Kewanee man and has invited him to come back. The speedy middle weight is to, be used lot on sparring matches and that he will be a very useful addition to the camp and fill a long felt want was demonstrated by the six tearing rounds which the big man and the middleweight boxed this afternoon.
 "Papke is fast and clever" said Jeffries, "and although he is light he is aggressive and game to the core. He is young bulldog in the ring. I like to work with him. He is the sort of a scrappy youngster I need for part of my glove work"
 Probably the chief topic of conver- sation among the close observers at Jeffries's camp has been the wonder full showing he made in his Saturday afternoon workout, when after a half hour with great pulling and shadow boxing, Jeffries boxed six smashing rounds with Papke, followed by three fast rounds with Choynski and then wound up the day with an hour of handbar and rope skipping. Jeffries hardly paused in the long stretch of hard, heavy work. He tired out Papke and Choynski and at the end walked into his rubbing room as spry as and easy as though he were beginning the days work.
 You fellows think Jeffries showed up great today" said Dick Adams, who has been with Jeffries in training for most of his fights, "but I am tell ing you that this big fellow hasn't begun to get good. I know him. I have studied him like a book. If any body around here says he has reach ed his old form already, don't listen to him. Wait a while and you will

see what he really can dO.''
 That Jim Jeffries does not propose to incur the enmity of the fair sex was apparent this morning, when the big fellow caused the gymnasium to be closed to women visitors.
 You see, it's just this way he said. When a great big OK like me starts to mauling with a couple of little fellows you can't tell what will happen. If I accidentally put in a hard punch or happen to butt one of them with my head an unexpected knockout might result. Then all the women would go away saying 1 was the most heartless man that ever lived and they would call me every variety of big brute on the calendar
 Tex Rickard made his second visit to Jeffries's camp motoring down from San Francisco with his wife and John F. Kenny. Bad directions sent them fifty miles astray and the party did not arrive in camp until nearly o'clock.
 tT have just come down for a. friend ly visit to the camp said Rickard. We shall stay only 9 couple of days"
 Saturday was great day of work. In fact Jeffries's trainers look upon it as. the best day he has yet had. He worked long and hard and finished happy in spirits and unwearied in body. To keep the big fellow in that mood and forestall the possibility of his going stale, his trainers advised a strict adherence to the Saturday half-holiday scheme.
 ''Jim's improvement in condition the last few days has been wonder fuI,'' said Farmer Burns. "He could be in the best condition he has ever been in his life at the end of two weeks. It would take him only seven or eight days to take off whatever extra weight he may have and to dry out. Then few days more to round him off fine and give him good rest before going into the ring and he would be fit to fight the great est battle of his life.
 "But, of course, that does not mean that he is not going to to a lot of good for himself in the next seven weeks Jim has shown himself and shown us that he could take off his fat, and get his wind into as good shape as it ever was. What he will do now is to make himself quicker and grittier. Corbett and Gotch will be here to work with him after while and he will get a lot of good out of working with them. It will make him faster and cleVer.'

 San Francisco, May Slack John son went into active training at the Seal Rock House today and declares that from now on he will work hard to get into condition.
 "I am in fine shape already and do not intend to train myself stale before the big fight said he. Rest assur- ed when I enter the ring on July I will be physically fit and able to knock somebody's head off
 The big negro looks to be in splen- did condition and wants only to inn prove his wind and be able to accur- 'ately judge himself. Joe Cotton, his principal sparring partner, is on the scene ready to take up the work of human punching bag. For a month Johnson's work will consist of run ming, medicine ball and a few rounds of boxing.
 From Jeffs training camp come glowing reports of the big fellows condition After his fight with Thom- as Saturday in Frisco, Papke will re- turn to Rowardennan to box Jeffries. The former championSis greatly pleas ed with Papke's rough work and de- clares it will give him more good training than his other boxing bouts.

ahead at that time to be declared the winner.
 The contest was a real pitchers bat tie, with the honors coming the Bridge pOrter's way. Two hits and an error gave the visiting school boys their first and only run in the first session. The local students were blanked till the fourth, when with two men on Catcher Webster cracked out a two bagger, sending home the two men ahead of him. Webster scored a moment later on Johnson's timely wallop
 After the game it was learned that the visiting school boys would protest at the next meeting of the league, be- cause of the game being cut short, but as it was by agreement between the two captains, there is but small chance for the league directors decid ing to have the contest played over. But relying on the way B. H. s. has been treated in former league meet ings, notably at the end of last sea- son, they probably will come out on the short end. The score by innings:

JOE" THOMAS TACKLES PAPKE
 NEXT SATURDAY

San Francisco, May 9.-The first open air contest of the Spring is scheduled to take place at Coffroth's S Mission Street Arena next Saturday afternoon Joe Thomas and Billy Papke being the headliners. It will be the first time Thomas has been seen in action in this city in many moons, and those who have watched his .career since he left here for the East are of the opinion that Joseph will surprise his friends with the pug ilistic polish he has acquired.
 In the last fights he figured in here Joe was handicapped by his efforts to make weight. He seemed destined to become full grown heavy. and he had hard work keeping himself down to the level of the men he signed with It was told over at ShannOn'S that Joe was frequently on the verge of collapse owing to his efforts to get to the notch called for by the articles and there is every reason for believ- ing that in not a few of his fights he was too weak to give a proper ac- count oe himself.
 Joe comes back to us telling that it is no trick for him to do 158 pounds a weight which bothered him exceed ingly. He attributes it to having learned the secret of propert training and no doubt a great deal of credit is due to Sears of Boston, a we'll known conditioner, who placed Thom- as in shape for his many Eastern bouts and who is in camp with him now at Ocean Beach. Joe says the weight is no longer a bugaboo.
 Billy Papke is back in town and went into quarters at Millets. Billy is surely in fighting mood. He is sim mering with chagrin over the criti- cism which followed his last fight, it Colma with Stanley Ketchel, it was said at that time that if Papke had been possessed of more of the battle spirit he might have disposed of K [etchel, who was anything but strong.

NEAL BALL IS ON THE MARKET
Has Made Only One Hit in 25 Times at Ballast Year
 Was With "YankS'"

Cleveland, May 9.-Neal Ball, the former Highlander, who performed the wonderful feat last year of mak- ing a triple play unassisted, is not likely to remain with the Cleveland Club much longer. Neal is on the market, and thus far there have been no bids for him from any club in the American League, so the chances are that he will be released to a minor league team. Balls trouble is that he cannot hit, and as Manager Me Guire has a capable sub swatter and utility infielder in George Perring Neal will have to go into the discard When the Maps were in the South this Spring Balls batting was terrific The moment the championship sea- son opened his hitting prowess van- ished, and Manager McGuire, after keeping him in nine games and sec ing him make only one safety in twenty-five trips to the plate, finally had to bench him. After May 20 the Cleveland Club will be allowed to carry only twenty-five players, and Ball is one of the athletes who will not be retained. Balls batting aver age at present is only .O4O.

BRACINC BITS BOUT BASEBALL

Leaning up against them a bit. , Waterbury did not lost a game dur ing the week.
 They have no cause to feel elated in the Brass City over their position in the league standing. The Mechan- ics are but one game behind.
 The league magnates were robbed of a slight bit of change yesterday. New Britain-was to have played New Haven at Lighthouse Point Hartford at Waterbury and Northampton at Steeplechase, but the air was so full of weather that there was nothing doing.
 The Hamp players hung around the Atlantic all day yesterday. waiting for the sun to put in appearance. % Their trip cost Manager McCann 90 copecs.
 Julius Joseph Kustus, McCann's new Outfielder, made a very good impreS- sion on the New Britain inhabitants in his first performance. His two timely drives brought in two of the five runs. He is playing the left garden where SteinhauSer held forth.

 Now for the crucial tests in the big leagues. Today and tomorrow the first sectional clashes between the teams in the East and West open. The Eastern teams in the National League open up today in the West, while the Western teams in the junior organization start hostilities in this section tomorrow.
 The play during the past week shows that Holyoke and Northampton are woefully weak in their pitching staffS New Britain on paper has a good staff.
