All Gainor's merits are those which
are natural to a born balIplayer.
Hughie Jennings believes that those
qualific atoms that come only by con-
slant play will be absorbed In few
weeks.
He points TO the fact that. two sea-
sons ago, Gainor was playing In a
league too small To secure even ma
tional protection. To jump him In one
season from the tall timbers 10 good
league like the Central, and then to
follow that leap by one TO the fastest
baseball organizations In the world, Is
terrific test OF any mans ability. At
that, Hughie doesn't believe the Sec
ond jump TO be nearly as long as the
first one. The player took that lrst
hurdle easily Hughle believes that,
with a couple OF weeks In which to
become acclimated. Gainor will find
the second transition one he can make
without trouble.
At that, Gainor has been child OF

BOTH TEAMS TRY

Regulars Move On To Columbus, and
Recruits To Kansas City in
Search of Sunshine.

Having failed TO fnd sunshine

than one game OF the series OF four,
the regular Tigers, under Manager
Hugh Jennings packed up and moved
from Indianapolis TO Columbus where
today they have a game scheduled
with the American association defend

has soaked the Columbus park, but
every effort will be made 10 pull on
at least one game OF the two which
are scheduled.
The Tigers present record Is one
game played, out OF the last seven
scheduled, not including today's very
dubious outlook. The players have
sat around hotels until they hate the
very sight OF one another, and Hughie
Jennings himself is fairly crazed at
the loss OF what he deemed his most
valuable practice period.
The Tigerettes pulled stakes In
Omaha without even looking the local
baseball outfit over, and are now at
Kansas City where they hope to have
better luck.
Nobody who has followed a baseball
team on trip OF this sort will fail
TO appreciate the discomfort and gen.
eral dissatisfaction caused by repeat
ed postponements. In addition, nearly
all the players have colds and coughs
as the result OF the sudden change OF
temperature. and naturally they be-

Cobb Lucky 1t Wasn't
Front Tire That Flew

INDIANAPOLIS. April 5.-Mem-
bers OF the National racing team are
today laughing over the lucky es-
capade OF Ty Cobb. the Detroit base
ball player who threw a rear tire.
while travelling at about 20 miles
an hour. The accident took place
on the Indianapolis speedway where
the Georgian was assisting in the
testing OF some new racing cars.
The racing sharps say that Cobb
is lucky to be alive today. Had 1t
been a front, instead OF a rear tire
that he threw, Detroit would now
be shy ball player and the Ameri-
can league would be in want OF an
undisputed king, for Cobb and his
machine would have turned a few
somersaults and 1t would have been
over.
Local people are unable to under
stand how Cobb is able to take such
desperate chances for the mere sport
Of the thing. The ball player how
ever, admitted that he had had a
warning when the tire jumped off,
and left the speedway shortly after

Hughie Jennings still stands pat on
his selection OF Del Gainor as the
Tiger frst-sacker.
ON THIS DECISION WILL REST
THE CHIEF RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THE TIGERS SUCCESS IN THE
GETAWAY OF THE LEAGUE RACE.
u Hughie has called the turn and
discovered a real big Lacquer, the
chances Of the club will be about az
good as those Of any rival.
II Galnor falls to show the neees-
sary class, however, Detroit's base
bali club will have TO be reorganized
right in the heat Of the league race.

which has a worlds chmplon to beat.

Tom Jones was released. or the half
dozen or so combinations which APP

kept his team intact at the other
positions and placed Gainor on the
bag.
Gainor Needs Confidence.
From the time when Gainor was
first selected. Jennings has realized
that his chief task was TO make the
youngster confident OF his own ability
TO make good.

BELIEVE IT. is a line OF argument
Hughie has been using on Gainor at
every opportunity announcement

INJUNCTION ATTACKED.
Des Moines, la, Street Railway Company
Commences Action to Have Ruling
Set aside.

Des Moines Ia-Charging that Judge
Lawrence De Graft violated the state
and federal constitutions when he is
sued an injunction terminating the street
car strike here last Sunday, the Des
Moines City Railway company has filed
motion to dissolve the injunction. In
this instance it is hoped that the con-
tention of the company will be success
full. The action of Judge DeGraff in
granting the Injunction upon the appli-
cation of the city council in effect is
compulsory arbitration, and the defini-
ton of compulsory arbitration to compel
men to work against their will is not
in accord with the inherent rights grant
ed to citizens of this country under the
constitution of the United States. If
the action of the court in Des Moines
can force the company to reinstate the
discharged employees, it can likewise
force men to remain in the employment
of the street railway company. The
press dispatches indicate that the en-
ployers everywhere are elated over this
recent innovation and abuse of the pow
er of the court and talk is rife of an
endeavor to seek to have the courts as
sumo in other places the same posi-
tiontion as did Judge De Graft. 1t is the
duty of every labor organization to en-
phaticaIly and insistently protest against
this latest conspicuous abuse of power
by the judge.

PRINTERS IN CONVENTION.

San Francisco-The 57th session of
the international Typographical union
opened here on August Il, with an ad-
dress by Mayor P. H. Mccarthy, and re-
marks from representatives of the daily
press, the commercial printing branch OF
the industry, and from representatives,
Of the local Typographical union. While
the union was organized in 1852, this is
the 5Tth convention that has been held
but it is not the 57th annual gathering
In 1894 the organization adopted the
biennial plan and no convention was
held in 1895 or in 1897, but a return
to annual conventions began in 1898 and
have been held yearly since. The report
of officers show that for the fiscal year
ending May 81, 1910, the membership of
the International union earned an aver
age of 1858 per member. For the fiscal
year ending May 81, 1911, the member
ship earned an average per member of

GOVERNMENT BY INJUNCTION.
City Council Of Des Moines, la, Succeeds
In Having Restraining Order Issued
Against Street Car Men.

Dcs Moines.-The city council OF this
city applied for and was granted an in
junction restraining the street car men
from maintaining a strike against the
local traction company. President Com
pers made the following comment, which
is pertinent and to the point:
The judges order is simply the log
ical result of an Illogical premise. II is
the natural development Of the abuse OF
the Injunction. The whole policy of the
species of injunction has been TO tie
the men OF labor to their work and to
make Intellectual any effort to secure
in the condition Of the
worker or to effectually protest against
the deterioration in the condition OF the
workers. That has been the purpose and
the policy OF the judges who have issued
the Injunction against workmen engaged
in n dispute with employers-injunction
which would never have been issued
against other citizens. or even against
the same workmen were they not en-
gagged in n labor dispute with employers.
The purpose and policy is to tie the
workmen to their work. or. in other
words. to bring them into a condition of
slavery"
