OCONTO FALLS 2, WABENO 8.

The Oconto Falls base ball team,
champions of Oconto county, journeyed
to Wabeno Sunday, determined to add
another scalp to their long list of vic
tories. Their reputation as the best in
Oconto county had long preceded them,
and the best that the local fans were
led to expect was close game, never
expecting to see Wsbeno take the long
end of the score.
The game was a fine exhibition OF
base ball for the first four innings,
neither side being able to score. In
the last half of the fourth the locals
got their batting eye and pounded U.
Saunders for three runs. Not content
with three the locals came back in the
fifth and sixth and added five more.
p Saunders went into the box in tis
seventh and wabeno could not solve
his shoots.
Tn the meantime the locals played
6ne hall but in the sixth pass steal
and clean hit scored the first run for
Oconto Falls. They duplicated the feat
in the eight but were unable to over
come the large lead Wabeno had piled
up. Score:

STRIKE DEMANDS
OF the MINERS

Cincinnati. April l.-As sustain
ing their demands for increased pay
he miners gave out this statement:
Our desire for a twtnty-pcr-ceh'.
increase in pay will not seem unrcas-
enable when il is learned that most
of the 10000 anthracite miners
work only about two-thirds of the
time. The average working time for
each man last year was 2io days
and the average salary earned By
each man for the year was $500. or
Il SIS than $40 a week
Our men take greater risks than
they do in other countries. The to-
tai number oil men killed in mines
during the last ten years was 23.037.
THE yearly record Of deaths in
mines is now about $500. In the
United States the death rate for 900
men is 3.sl. as compared with l43
in Great Britain. and it is more than
double that of any other cOal-prO-
ducing country in Europe"
