.GALLAUDET REGRETS
JONES' WITHDRAWAL
Captain Not to Compete in
South Atlantic Mat
Championship.

Adherents OF the GaIlaudet College
| wrestling team regret to hear that
Leon P. Jones, the veteran captain OF
the Buff and Blue grapplers, has de-
| cided not to compete in the 125-pound
class in the coming South Atlantic
division of Amateur Athletic Union
wrestling championship. which pre-
liminaries will be held in the Carroll
Institute gymnasium Saturday even
ing.
The reason for his withdrawal is his
inability to come down to the re-
quired weight and his desire to see
Cowboy" Mosey. the present crack
Gallaudet lightweight champion Of
the South Atlantic division and for
past four years the 135-pound anna
teur champion grappler of this dis
trict, make his farewell appearance
Mosey graduates from Gallaudet next
June with an enviable distinction of.
the floor by an opponent in his college
career. and. incidentally, the cow
puncher has five medals In his pos
session.
Jones has ordered an elimination
contest this week for the Kendall
Green knights of the mat, so that
he may decide upon the wrestling
team to represent the east side COL
lege at the Carroll Institute prelim-
inaries Saturday. Besides Mosey,
Robert Conley the heavyweight title
holder OF the District by virtue of his
easy victory over Barrett, Y. NJ c. A,
at the recent National Guard tourna-
ment. is sure to be at the Saturday
preliminaries. The 145-pound class is
the most sought for place at Gallau-
det, and it is presumed Captain Jones
cannot decide between the three vet
eran wrestlers, Gardner. Gledhill, and
Bailey, before Thursday.

WAGNERS BOTTOM
OF BOWLING LIST
Continue to Lead Saenger-
bund League Upside Down
in Tourney.

The Wagners, of the Saengerbund
Bowling League, have the rather
unique and -unenviable distinction OF
leading the league at the bottom in both
team standing and average. and 1t IS
not likely they will lose their place in
either before the season closes.
The Mozarts are away and above the
other fives in team averages, with the
Glucks running second. High team set
belongs to the Mozarts also, with 2.647,
and the same team shares the honor of
high game with the Schuberts, with 917
each.
The Brahms are still topping the
league in team standing. with the Moz-
arts close in the rear. In the individual
standing De Yo dropped from third to
fourth place. Following are the aver

Tacoma Team Promises
To Push Olympia League

If the application for entrance of
the Takoma baseball team is looked
upon with favor by the officials of the
Olympia League, Captain Schrider
ing the circuit will have to look 10
their laurels.
Last season the Takoma nine was a
member of the Suburban League, but
for various reasons, chief among
players to show up for practice, the
club did poorly. With Schrider at
the helm this year, however, and with
the signing of several clever players
from the Suburban League, it is con-
fldently expected by the management
of the nine that it will be in the race
from the start.

THE OFFICIAL POSITION OF THE
CITY OF MILWAUKEE, ON
UNION LABOR.
(sy Carl D. Thompson.l

The attitude of the present admins
tration in Milwaukee towards organ
lied labor is well known. It is signi
ficant, however, that city Of con.
siderable size should officially take
the position which the city of Mil
waukee does. It is probably the only
city in America that officially sup
ports organized labor and the working
class.
The following resolution was intro
duced In the council when the Social
Democrats were in the minority. But
the Socialist sentiment had already
grown so strong in the city that the
majority members were even. then
compelled to adopt the resolution. It
now stands as the official position OF
the city. The resolution reads as fol-
lows:
"Whereas, The Trades Unions OF
the City of Milwaukee are struggling
necessarily, and spending much effort
and large sums of money to improve
the conditions Of the working people,
and thereby are improving the con-
ditions of this community, and
"Whereas, The Trades Unions are
thus bearing the brunt of the fight
while the results of this struggle are
benefting union men and non-union
men alike, and
whereas, The workingmen employ
ed by the city with few exceptions,
are not affiliated with their respec.
tive trade organizations. although they
enjoy the shorter work day and bet
ter wages which were obtained either
directly or indirectly through the Ell
forts of the trades unions, therefore
be it
"REsOLVED, That It is the sense
and intention of the Common Council
Of the city Of Milwaukee, that all
work done directly by the city o.
Milwaukee, or let by contract through
the Board Of Public Works or any
other department Of the city Of Mil
waukee, organized labor shall DC
given the preference.
Adopted by the Common Council o.
the city Of Milwaukee, Jan. 81, 1910.
