may enter the game.

Must Get in Shape.

Some critics have doped it out that
Sweeley would be released this week
but such is not the case. The hust-
ling little catcher is to be taken along
on the initial trip. Reardon thus far
has not shown that he is in condition
TO work, and Belt might be thrown
iLto a hole by having to depend on
him. His arm thus far has not yet
rounded into slape and his chance of
getting into a game during the rst
two weeks of the season depends upon
his ability to work out the kink
There is no need of carving Prough
on the first trip as Belt would -ot
be likely to use him. However, his
arm is working out in great shape.
Friday he surprised the players gath
cred around him by cutting loose. He
displayed much of his old time fern
and in another week will be able to
work to advantage.
Belts selection of pitcher for the
opening day is believed TO be the best
he could have made Blue Jacket has
been going well and at present ap-
pears best able to cope successfully
with the enemy in the opening en-
counter. However, Jaeger and Burch
would likely go just as well, but the
manager has pinned hope upon the
Indian.

PHILADELPHIA March 23.-Fhe
general strike here has practically col
lapsed. The climax to the back 10
work" movement came last night, When
the executive board OF the United Tex
tile organizations adopted resolutions
recommending that all strikers return
tn work. AS result nearly all of the
90 900 mill workers returned to their
places of employment In Kensington
and frankfort this morning.
Although the long night conference
between representatives of the striking
carmen and their employers. held at
the home OF George II. earle, Jr.. city
representative on the Transit board
of directors, adjourned at an early
hour to-day without having reached
any formal agreement, strong hope was
given by the conferers that a satisfac
tory compact will be made at FUR
Their meeting.
IL was intimated that the conference
adjourned not because the contendins
parties were unable to find any com

cause both sides desired to take a re-
cess to consider the propositions sub

another, After these points have been
threshed out, the conference VIII again

belief that at this meeting lasting

The main points at issue. from what
can be learned. are the reinstatement
OF all the striking carmen, including
the men whose discharge on February

read before Justice Crutchfield Wed.
