BIG MINES IDLE.
Over a Million Coal Diggers
Now on Strike.
British Opinion Appears to Side
With the Strikers.

London, March with the exception
of a few small collieries situated in
isolated districts, all the coal mines of
the country are idle this morning. In
some of those places where work is still
going on notably in Warwickshire
where 10000 men are employed, the
miners will join the strikers tomorrow.
The only mine in the country where
the men have decided to. remain at
work is a little one in northern Wales.
and here the mining is carried on under
police protection.
An official return issued this morning
estimates the number of strikers Who
have already laid down their tools as
,O4S, 407. In most of the districts the
men are taking advantage of the strike
to enjoy a holiday and no trouble is an
ticipated. The greatest danger spot is
in South Wales, where the most deter
mined spirit prevails and where the
union fund.- are only sufficient to pro-
vide strike pay to the men for a short
time.
The railway throughout Wales issued
notices today that their train service
would be curtailed and other railways
in Great Britain will follow this ex-
ample tomorrow. The miners federation
resumed its conferences this morning
and one of the members expressed the
opinion that the negotiations with the
owners would be successfully ter
minated in the course of the next week.
Public opinion generally endorses the
government decision to pass a min
imum wage bill unless the remainder
of the owners agree TO that principle
which has already been consented to
by so per cent of the employers.
The conference of the miners fed
Grafton adjourned after delegating to
the executive committee full power to
continue the negotiations with the
owners and to summon the confer
ence to meet again when it shall be
necessary. Several hundred steam
ers are held up at the various ports
through lack of coal, but the large
lines assert they are

PONY BOB is DEAD.
He Was a Famous Express Rider in
the Fffties.

Chicago, March Robert Halsam,
~ years old, widely known a genera
ton ago as PONY Bob" died in want
here last night. For many years he
was famed as a pony express rider and
Indian fighter throughout the west.
He was the daring rider who car
ried the news of Abraham Lincoln's
election as president through a coun-
try beset by hostile Indians.
When the white settlers at Cold
Springs were threatened With massacre
in 1850, Halsam rode through the
Piute country in Nebrask and brought
aid. Twice on that tr,p he shot his
way through the India lines.
Later the veteran he'd a commission
as scout under Gen raj Nelson A.
Miles. Colonel Will, m +. Cody was
HaIsam's chief of scouts at that time.
Colonel Cody stared a subscription
to care for HalsaTn last summer, when
it became known that the former pony
express rider had suffered q paralyttc
stroke.

STARS OF LAST YEAR
Many Youngsters Came to Front
 During Last Season.
$22,5oo Beauty, Marty o'TooIe, Did Not Join Pittsburg Team Until Lats-Joe Jackson Best Fielder
 Unearthed.

Perhaps in no season in recent discovered or developed as during the campaign of 1911. The new stars discovered in the pitchers box were Rube Marquard of the Giants, Grover Cleveland Alexander and George Chalmers of the Phillies; Vean Gregg of the Cleveland Maps, Roy Caldwell of the Highlanders, Marty O'Toole of the Pirates, and Buck O'Brien of the Boston Red Sox. Other promising young boxmen of 1911 who may get into the star class in another season or two were Bill Steele of the Cardi- nals, Dave Danforth of the Athletics, Gene Krapp of the Cleveland Maps, Robbie Keefe and Rube Benton of the Cincinnati Reds and George Tyler of the Boston Nationals.
 With the exception of Rube Mar quard all these men were 1911 discov- cries. The tall, lanky portsider of the Giants has been in the big show since 1908, but last season was the first in which he earned his rations. Rube had to travel about the country in 1909 and 1910 with the reputation of being the biggest lemon ever plucked from the bushes, but Mar quard showed his critics last season, when he was one of the biggest fac tors in the Giants great fight for the pennant, and also twirled himself to the leadership in the official pitching

records. MarQuard finished the sea. son with 24 victories and seven de- feats.
 As Rube has been in the big show since 1908, the question of what was the biggest pitching find of 1911 rests between Grover Alexander of the Phil lies and Vean Gregg of the Maps. These two men pitched phenomenal ball, though Gregg's arm went lame near the end of the season, prevent ing his appearance in the box after early September. Greggs record was almost identical with the one made by Marquard. Gregg won B games and lost z. This was a remarkable feat, considering that it was achieved with 8 team that finished the season with an average of 1928.
 Gregg finished second among the American league furlers. Alexander won five more games than Gregg, but suffered six more defeats than the Cleveland phenom. Alexander finished fourth in the official National league pitching records, with 28 victories and 13 defeats. Alexander's team fin ished the season with almost the same record as that made by the Maps, the Phillies' final average being .520.
 "Slim" Caldwell of the Hilltoppers is another youngster who showed his metal in 1911. Though he joined the Kilties in 1910, Caldwell was practi- cally untried until last season. He managed to break even in 28 games, but many of his defeats were hard. luck affairs in which run or two would have changed the tide of battle in his favor.
 Marty o'Toole and Buck O'Brien are youngsters who did not join their teams until late in the season. The $22,500 wonder of the Pirates won three games and lost two. O,Brien, of the Red Sox, looked every bit as good as his more expensive brother. Buck won four games out of five starts and enjoys the distinction of being one of the four men to shut out the Athletics last season.
 Though the majority of the 1911 finds were pitchers. many other bril- liant youngsters won their spurs in other positions. Joe Jackson undoubt- edly was the biggest find of the year. Though Joe had been in the American league in 1908, when Connie Mack first grabbed him from Greenvilles s. O., he wasf really ia 1911 sdevelpp nis1t It t true Joe batted for .3s7 for 30 games l in 1910 and beat out ny Cobb for tho nominal l9adership h batting. but Iast season wap bis first complsts cana, patsn n the majors.

Lost the Game Notwithstanding Biakely Was BatteG
 Out of Box.

Fold dyce, Ark, April 20.-The fifth inning proved fatal to the Pine Bluff l1lgh baseball team this afterr oon in the game with the Fordyce High, and When the inning did finally close and the smoke from the hits floated away the locals had scored six runs, giving them a safe lead and so taking the steam out of the visitors, that with the exception of one spurt in the sev enth round ill which they score one run, they played istless ball. The final score was 13 to ' in favor of Fordyce.
 Up to the fifth inning Pine Blut4 was leading by score Of 6 to 4. They opened the game by sending two men over the rubber and in the second the vi itors scored three, but Fordyce re- taliated in their half at bat by get ting an equal memlar Flournoy, the Pine Bluff third baseman, started f0r a foul fly in the fifth and fell He had to be replaced by another man which also necessitated the changing of the lineup. The boys working in nnaccustomed places were nervous and their many errors, supplemented by timely hitting by the Fordyce lads, changed the outlook of the end of the game.
 Blakely essayed to pitch fer For dyce High but the Pine Bluffians hit him 90 hard he was taken out in the fourth and Holder, who replaced him, held the visitors down and kept their hits scattered. Mcintyre for Pine Bluff pitched a fairly good game but at cru cial moments he showed signs of weakening and with the poor support especially in the fifth Inning.
