JACK TIGHE is ON
THE JOB AS USUAL
While Attending Big Baseball Com
ference He Quietly Lines Up
Some Good Men.

News from the big baseball camp at
San Antonio shows that Jack Tighe,
leader of the 1912 Louisville Colonies
is on the job as usual and has COPIED
a couple of good players for his team
next year, provided they show class in
the workout next spring. Burch, a
Brooklyn American league player has
been signed for the oUtfeId and none
other than our erratic friend, Grover
Laudermilk, he with the marvellous
supply of speed and cuves and lack of
control, has been signed for a tryout
in the box. Grover was with St Louis
Cardinals last year and made a good
record. Probably the Louisville team
will have in the lineup Bell Of the
Springfield-Dec Bloomington team.
Mcbride the former Islander outfelder
and Joe Berger, former Islander short
stop. McBide belongs TO Birmingham
and will have TO be purchased to Sc
cure his release and Berger was pur-
chased for the White Sox last year.

BOWLING NOTES.

Mixers second game was without an
error He had five strikes and five
spares. He COPIED the case of beer
offered for high score at the Deisenroth
alleys.
Meenan won the third game for the
Cubs with his spare in the last frame.
The margin for the winners was eight
pins.
Ackman's enforced rest last week
tuned him for the first two games. but
his third was a farce. He had six er-
rors in it. The first three frames of
his second game pictured a turkey"
but he only made 15S.
H J. WITCH and Hildebrandt of the
Stock Leaders had too much practice
before supper and were unable to warm
up in the series.
Captain William ] Bleuer of the
Stock Leaders rather fell down him
self last night, and so his men could
not be censured.
Claussen was high for the Moline
contingent, with 444, so that shows an
easy time for the Bachelors.
Potter rolled over $50 a week ago
and last night rolled Alb.
Stephens had the high score with
521 for the series and 195 tied Claus

WHY
Organized Labor in Ohio Favors the
Well-ReguIated Saloon, and Has, to
That End, Endorsed an Early
Disposition Of the License
Question by the Constitu-
tionaI Convention.

Ia their 1909 and 1910 Conventions
the Ohio Federation of Labor, in reso-
lutions, strongly Endorsed license and
regulation. This year at their Con
vention in Cleveland, in view of the
fact that the license proposition IS one
of the big issues facing the Constitu-
tional Convention, they called upon
delegates to take early action on the
question, in the following resolution:
Whereas, The Constitutional Con-
vention, which will assemble in Janu-
airy, 1912, will be the most important
gathering of citizens held in Ohio for
20 years; and
Whereas, The delegates to that con
vention will be called upon to deliber-
ate upon many questions intimately
affecting the interests of organized
labor; and
Whereas, The proposition for the
licensing of the liquor traffic has al
ready received the careful attention
of the General Assembly of the State
Of Ohio, and method for the elimina-
ton of the question from the delibera-
lions Of said Convention has already
been as far as possible provided by
said General Assembly; now, there
fore be it
Resolved. That this Convention call
upon all Delegates to said constitu-
tionaI Convention to take action inn
mediateIy upon the question Of the
licensing Of the traffic in intoxicating
EIiquors, to the end that this matter
may be more speedily disposed Of and
the arrangement made for the separ-
ate submission TO the people as to
whether the traffic in intoxicating Ii
quors shall or shall not be licensed, in
order that the time Of the Convention
will not be taken up by the liquor in
terests and the Anti-Saloon League, to
the exclusion of other important ques-
tons that are of vital Importance to
the labor movement Of Ohio.

Washington, Oct. 9.-In New. Jersey
where the patriots froze, starved
fought and died for liberty, methods
as tyrannical, if not more so, than
those in operation in Russia, are be-
ing used to break the spirit of those
who toll. Men have been dragged
from their homes and forced, against
their WILL to labor in the mines. They
have been beaten and put in JAIL;
their homes have been .deseerated and
their wives brutality assaulted and
some have been banished because
they dared be union men, Workers

Washington, D. c., Oct s.-The
day Of Elliot's hero is over. He is now
regarded as an undesirable citizen, j
and citizens of high standing have
united with union workers in the de
mand that he leave certain commune
lies for the community's good.
At East st. Louis. Ill, three OF
Eliot's heroes" were arraigned in
,ourt and given until sun down to get
put of the city Tattered, hungry. and
weather-beatn they presented pite-
3us spectacle, and when they told the
court that they had been picked up in
4 Bowery lodging house Id New York,
locked in car on a special train with
166 other @heroes" and given no food
IN the journey from New York to
CAST st. Louis, the court and the spec
Gators realized that the railroad com
pany had little rgard for the "heroes"
it expected to rout the strikers.
On their arrival in East st. Louis
the master mechanic of the local shop
had refused to put them to WoEk.
Penniless, tired and hungry they had
drifted into the streets Of the city only
to fall a prey to unfeeling policemen
who failed to recognize them as
heroes called them buns and drove
them back to the shop. There they
received scant courtesy, were bundled
on a special train and started for Chi
cage. But heroes" like, every day
men, need something to eat and they
dropped off the train and made an
other effort to satisfy the demands of
the stomach. The police grabbed
them again, and when they appeared
in court even the city authorities
seemed loath to provide them with
the scant, coarse fare of the criminal,
and they were driven from town.
Alas and alack for three of Eliot's
heroes.
AT McComb, Miss, whole train
load of heroes found very hostile re-
ception from the citizens of all de-
grees. Like heroes of outlaw fame,
they had guns and on arriving in the
Mississippi city they began to use
them like outlaks. They pumped lead
into the citizens, and said citizens re-
scented the mode of entry OF the
..heroes. But when the "heroes" add
ed insult to injury by neaping indigni-
ties on the women of the community,
the united citizenship asserted itself
and the. heroes" were compelled to
depart, guarded by troops.
At New Orleans, Mayor Behrman, in
addressing 5000 strikers showed con-
clusiyely that he too was no admirer
yof the men That Professor Eliot mad
tried to immortalize. He assured the
men, who were battling for their
rights, that he would exercise his
moral right to compel the railroad
