1t was Henry Bronx Zimmerman's
turn yesterday and he improved it by
soaking In the nose a sou'paw hook,
converting 1t into three base hit
which was sufficient to give Lew
Richie victory over George Wiltse
in the second game of the Cub Giant
series. Joe Tinker is no hog and care
fully refrained from stepping into
Zim's light. Artie Holman accepted
an opportunity to cinch the game with
another triple behind a double barreled
boot in the seventh
The Giants found Richie an enigma
and he kept them Knocking down to
his favorite style of delivery all the
way through the scrap. Lew permit
ted himself to be touched for five hits,
one of them double, but in the first
four innings, before the Cubs gained
their two runs advantage, Richie was
absolutely intangible. Not until the
eighth inning could the enemy connect
with the place of registration, then its
only run was scored after two were
out and Richie closed that belated
rally by striking out Becker This
visiting gent was introduced by Coach
Latham as the cleanup kid but it
was a case of the cleaner cleaned when
Richie got through with him.

PROCEEDS OF LABOR DAY BALL

When you attend the dance on
Labor Day night you will have the
satisfaction of knowing that your
dollar and half is going to a most
worthy cause, and one that anyone
would be glad to contribute to with
out the compensation of having a
good time for the same.
The Tonopah Miners union will
hold the dance under the auspices
of that organization, and the funds
derived will go to defray the ex-
penses of sending three unfortunate
miners who have spent most of
their lives digging into the bowels
of the earth until such time that
they have become afflicted with
miners consumption, and their prac-
ticing physicians have recommended
a change of climatic conditions in
the hopes that they will receive /.
lasting benefit from the ozone of
a lower altitude.
The floor will be in excellent
shape for the occasion and a good
time and splendid music is guar
anteed by the management.

MACHINISTS
WILL SUPPORT
FEDERATION
SITUATION HAS GROWN MORE
ACUTE ON ALL THE RAIL
ROAD LINES.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30
The local machinists' union has re-
solved to support the demands made
upon the Hartman lines by the
federation of shop employees, now
asking for recognition by the rail
road company.
President E. L. Reguin of the
federation said yesterday that this
decision was reached last night
when a tentative strike vote was
taken. The men, he said, were
unanimous in their demands
The federation is awaiting the ar
rival from the east of the officers
of the international unions repre-
senting the five crafts working in
the shops. These officers are ex-
pected here today.
Their conference with julius
Kruttschnitt, vice president of the
Hartman lines, will be held to,
morrow. They will then demand
that the new federation be recog-
nized Officially and dealt with by
the company.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt was occupied
yesterday with routine affairs and
had nothing further to say in re-
gard to the federations demands
whatever.
Ernest l.. Reguin, president OF
the Federation of Shops Employees
of the Hartman lines, when shown
the statement by Mr.. Kruttschnitt
that the demands of the men would
be rejected, declared he was conf
dent, in spite of the statement
that the demands of the shop EN-
ployes would be granted.
Mr.. Kruttschnitt may change his
attitude" he said, when he dis
covers that 80 per cent of the
shopmen are standing by the fed
Grafton"
When asked il a refusal of tht
demands would mean a strike, Mr.
Reguin said:
'The federation must be recog
nized. We will not back up or
that issue. We have asked for rec
ognition and if we do not get i
well, that's up to Mr.. Krutt
schnitt He has time to change
his mind and we believe he viii
