Mayor Swan Edison, Day Marshal Jack
Cassidy, Night Marshal Ed Jones and
John Maxwell, union miner, all of La

that on the night of June 16 Secretary
William Crawford of district No. Is,
United Mine Workers of America, villi-

union and taking a position in the Simp-
son mine. Crawford is a neighbor of
Sherratt's.
Secretary Crawford swore that he did
not abuse Sherratt, nor declare he would

DO NOT MISS THIS.
Union Labor Temple Association Pieni,
at Lakeside, Saturday, July 2e.

For several months past committees
from the central bodies and locals have
met regularly for the purpose of devising
ways and means of building labor tenn
pie in this city, the need of which is ap-
parent to every union man and women in
Denver. All phases of the proposition
have been thoroughly discussed. 1t was
first suggested that stock proposition
be submitted to the local unions, but this
plan was finally abandoned, owing partly
to the fact that the committee did not
feel that organized labor was ready at
this time to purchase stock. 1t was
finally decided that a start must be made
some time and this was just as good a
time as any. a series of entertainments
was decided upon, the first of which will
be a picnic at Lakeside Park, Saturday
July %. The proceeds from this affair
will be the starting OF q fund TO take
the preliminary steps toward purchasing
a site for the proposed temple. This is
one OF the most important moves started
BY organized labor in years and every
union man and woman in the city should
lend every assistance to the committee
in making this AFFAIR a grand success. 4
handsome diamond ring is offered as a
prize to the lady selling the most tickets.
The ring can be seen at NJ. O'Keefe &
Co.'S store, S27 Fifteenth street. A prize
OF suit OF clothes is also offered to the
gentleman selling the most tickets. The
suit has been purchased from Emanuel
Bros. 621-62S Sixteenth street. Anyone
is eligible to enter these contests. Tickets
can be secured from Edw. J. Hines, 174S
Stout street. A large committee is out
visiting all the locals, asking them to at
tend the picnic and they are meeting with
good success. All money derived from
tickets sold by the committee or con-
testants goes to the labor temple fund
and if the committee is successful in
passing 1000 tickets through the gates
10 per cent. of the proceeds from all con-
cesions owned by the Lakeside Amuse-
ment Co. will be turned over to the COM
mittee. Show by your presence at Lake
side Saturday. July %, that you are will
ing to assist good cause.

SLOW BALL SAVES PITCHER.
Addie Joss Learns . Lesson-tNaatsp
 Johnson Cu}sivates Floater.

Atdfe Joss is sorry he didn't think until his arm began to feel the effects of overWork that a pitcher cannot go on forever. Unti1 8 couple of years ! ago Addis never used a slow ball. Ha didn't get tired, and his fast ball and curve had the batters guessing. Last season Addie didn't use his fast ball
 until he had to, and he will take it good and easy until he is in a hols in every game he pitches.
 T see the mistake now of tek&>pg out
 ] all the time" said Adtffe last season.
 T am satisfied I shortened n1y career three or four years 6y using nothtng
 but speed"
 ,Addie's mistake, common one a few years ago, isn't being made by ed that way The Idaho wonder put all he had on every ball until Jim NrcAleer became manager of tho Na- tionals. Jim suggested and then fn- ball. Johnson, like Joss, didn't see the need of a hoaater when his speed stood the batters on their heads and 1 it didn't wear him down to use 1t all the time .'You won't be good pitcher until you have slow ball." said McA1eer. When you are hit hard you havens< anything new to give the batters. A team that solves your speed has you beaten.'
 That set Johnson to thinking. He had a pretty fair slow ball at the end of the season.
 Jack Coombs, the Athletic star, should last for years. He uses his speed and drop curve only when he has to. Coombs looks like an ordinary
 pitcher until he gets into hole. and then he is a wonder. He always haA something in reserve. Coombs pitnhea many games last season without k i his best stuff.

twiriers would like to see the box down as low as possible, as it would help them in their work
 The rules committee has gone the wrong way about it in trying to in crease hitting. In moving the box further away from the plate the base ball rulers only handicaped the slug gers It would have been better if the pitchers had been moved up nearer the batter. It is easily figured out that u man standing at the plate can hit it out when the pitcher is near the plate
 Take, for instance, a few years ago. when the twirler stood only forty five feet from the man at bat Look at the hitting that was done in those days. The pitchers probably didn't have as many curves, but they had speed, and there were not near as many strike outs.
 Nowadays the batter gets his eve on that ball too quick When the sphere comes up to him he is unable to do himself justice. I talked this matter over with the rules committee a few years ago and suggested at that time that the pitching distance be made fifty feet from the home plate blteved then. and am of the same opinion now, that such a change would increase batting all around.''

TOO MUCH TWIRLER. Iron Man McGinnity Would Lower the Pitchers Box to Level of Diamond.

Iron Man Joe McGinnity and Eagle Eye Jake Beckley, both of whom ought to know considerable about the work ings of the never ending conflict be- tween the pitcher and the batter, have widely different ideas as to what should be done to increase batting.
 McGinniety is of the opinion that the pitchers mound is doomed and that hereafter the twirler must be on the leSel with the batter. He also thinks that pitching distance should be de- creased to fifty feet from the box to the home plate.
 Beckley claims that fo reduce the pitcling distance would make hitting more difficult than it is today. With the short distance" says Eagle Eye, the pitcher with speed will wing them over 90 that the batter will new CT sec the ball"
 MeGinniey has radical views on the subject. He thinks the game is a case of ''too much pitcher" Being a man. ager, the Iron Man appreciates the troubles of the batsman. He says on the subject:
 "BasebaMu just now is a one mans game A manager gets good pitchers and builds the team up around the nfnger. Tho idea is to got twfrler in the box who can keep the opposing team from scoring many runs and try to make more of the man performing in the box for the other fellows.
 Fly putting the box on . level with the rest of the diamo.id the twirIers- that iH, most of fhem-wou1d find it harder to foos the 0atters. Underhand
