The Chicks will be home on Monday
for a game with Trenton.
Allentown was after the franchise of
the Lancaster club, but there was
nothing doing. The franchise Is not

York and Trenton had a race for
the securing of Pitcher Girard. from
the Wilkesbarre club. The Tiger man
agement won out. Girard was with
York last season and, in the fall, was
drafted by Philadelphia, which sold
him to Wilkesbarre this spring.
The race i'm the Tri-State League

requires but a few games TO shift the

enders into leaders Reading. which

and lost seven and tops the list, while
Wilmington with eight games won

the fact that the highest priced team

The Altoona Tribune believes that

Big LEAGUE RULE
FOR TRI-STATE
President Carpenter Adopts a
Rule as to Calling
Games

A new rule, similar to the one re-
Gently put into effect in the National
League regarding the calling OF
games by agreement of the contest
ing clubs, has been established in
the Tri-State League
In the future when two clubs agree
to call a game at a certain hour in
order to. catch a train or for any
other reason the inning will be played
through. instead of reverting back TO
the last completed inning.
President Carpenter has instructed
all his umpires to this effect, and
they understand IL. Hence there is no
likelihood of a repetition Of the riot
at Providence in the Tri-State.

Brown Sends Murphy to Mar :

Fighting
WELLS ENGLISHMAN,
THE NEXT CONFER

Tommy Murphy was knocked out
by Knockout Brown after forty sec
onds Of fighting in the first round Of
bout before the members Of the
Madison A. c.. New York, last night
No proof is offered that the bout was
not fought on its merits. though there
were several queer circumstances con-
nected with the mill. The majority
Of the spectators who saw the bout,
however, were Of the opinion that the
blond haired little Teuton honestly
caused the full drone of the doleful
decimal TO be tolled over the former
Pride Of Harlem.
There was no preliminary sparring.
With the opening clang of the gong
and the customary touching of finger
tips the fight was on. The men closed
together like fighting bulldogs. Brown
ripping a right-hand punch to the
ribs and following with a left TO the
same place. Tommy lunged out with
a left that stung the Teuton. who
bore in with both arms flying, rushing
Murphy to the ropes in a neutral cor
ner. They clinched and exchanged
punches TO the body. Tommy attempt
ing an inside uppercut that went wide
of the mark.
Breaking away. Brown again rush
ed, swinging a wicked right to the
body and then shooting the left IN a
half push to Tommy's jaw. Tommy
toppled over on his back, rolled over
and quickly rose to his feet, evident
ly disdaining to take the customary
count to clear his head. Murphy
walked into a crashing left and right
to the jaw that again tipped him over
on his back. Tommy writhed. squirm-
ed. kicked. half got up twice and
then settled down to the long sleep.
Matt Wells, the English lightweight
champion, has arrived in New York.
and went to Allenhurst to train for
the match with Knockout Brown.
The selection of Brown for the fight
followed his knockout of Tommy
Murphy i'm the first round of a bout

THEODORE IS cHYPTIcl

When asked BY a representative of
The New York World regarding the
report that he may again be a can
didate for president, Theodore Roose-
welt authorized the following state
ment:
Colonel Roosevelt finds it diff
cult to understand the comment
that has followed upon his article
in The Outlook regarding national
laws and business interests. He
has said exactly the same thing
many times before He cannot
see why it should be assumed that
this article indicates that he is
ready 10 take any personal part
in the coming campaign.
To which the objection might be
made that was presented by a colored
member Of the Georgia Legislature
few years back to a reply made to
an inquiry he had propounded, name
ly, Il ak de gemman a simple ques-
ton, an, please God, he trow a buck
etful OBJ words at me-" The colonel
doesn't say whether or not he has any
intention of sitting into the game. He
only finds it difficult to understand
why anybody should conclude from
his Outlook article that he has any
such intention. The Outlook article
taken alone might not logically JUS
tify any such belief, but considered
in connection with all that has gone
before and especially in relation to
the colonel himself, his disposition
and his political activities and aspira-
tons, it is something to cause specu-
lation. But be that as it may whether
it should or should not lead anyone
to suppose that Colonel Roosevelt is
considering another candidacy in his
own behalf for president Of the
United States, the question remains
unanswered concerning his intentions.
Is he after another nomination or is
he not? The general opinion seems
to be that he is, and his cryptic re.
ply to the straight question that has
been asked of him determines moth
ing.

ENGLISH RETALIATION, Ell?

1t has been announced that the
British government will undertake at
once a comprehensive plan for forti-
fication of Jamaica, as a military base
in the western hemisphere. This re-
solve, it is stated, follows upon the
determination of the United States
to build extensive forts in the PAN
anna canal zone, for protection of the
canal. This is the first fruit of the
policy of armament of the great 18TH
milan waterway which has been fixed
by the United States government and
is one more proof of the fact that
arming promotes arming with nations
as with men.
A few years ago the British gov
eminent withdrew practically all its
troops from North America, reducing
the strength of its forts in this part
OF the world to a minimum, and the
action was celebrated at the time as
an evidence of the progress of peace
and an expression of mutual conf
dence and regard Of the two great
English speaking nations The re-
solve of the British government to
fortify Jamaica to full strength a.
match for the United States forts on
the canal zone is swing back to-
ward the old conditions, and shows
that the United States. in consider
ing the canal as a military PROPOSE.
ton instead OF a peaceful waterway,
open to the nations Of the world and
under their watch and ward. is sur.
rendering much of the splendor of its
isolation and is tending toward the
introduction of the question OF ma.
tional armament into the politics OF
the western hemisphere.

THE coTToN LAsoR pRoeLEM.

While all this talk about poor prices,
syndicate relief, and oyerproduction
is occupying the attention of the cot
ton planter, he is worried more par
ticularly about the labor problem. be-
cause the scarcity of hands for pick
ing cotton has become a serious af-
fair. Field after field in this state
today is white with swelling bolls Of
the heecy staple which stands unpick-
ed because labor cannot be had for
love or money. Georgia produces a
vast amount of cotton, standing prom
inent among others in the cotton
growing belt, and when Their is such
a serious labor problem in connection
with its picking as at present obtains,
1t is high time for the farmers to get
together and work out saving pol
icy
Various measures of relief are be-
ing discussed, theorists even going
SO far as to advocate a repeal of the
Chinese exclusion act, in order TO
bring in large numbers Of Oriental
laborers. Other students of the sit
uation would have the cities force
their loafing negroes into rural terri
tory to perform farm work Then be-
there is the proposition of having the
farmers Of any one county, for exam
pie, come together, unite in statistical
contributions of available labor in
their immediate territory, and adopt
some cooperative plan by which the
fields Of one planter may be picked Of
their cotton, and then the fields of
another using a large, well trained
and well organized force of cotton
piekers, who are to be paid and kept
by each planter in turn as he gets
the benefit OF their work. Possibly
too, more money should be paid the
cotton picker to induce him or her
TO work. There are all sorts Of cir
cumstances attendant upon the prob
lem that could be threshed out by the
farmers as a community. and the co
operative scheme presents the most
Immediate effectiveness.
