BREWERY
/. Transfers
ON STRIKE

East Chicago and Indiana Harbor
are fortifying themselves against what
may be long and painful thirst. The
brewery wagon drivers were pulled
off" this morning by order of the bust
ness agent of the local lodge of the
Transfers Union, the bone of conten-
ton being a change in the wage scale.
According to the brewery agents, the
men are satisfied with the present
scale, which they declare in the long
run will yield them quite as much ie
not more than they will receive under
the revised scale. The business agents
however on the contrary declare the
men desire the change.
The old scale is $50 month and ten
cents for every empty barrel returned
and five cents for halves. The new
scale calls for $50 and four and two
cents per barrel and half barrel re-
turned.
| About seventy-f1ve men are affected
| by the order to strike The strikers
are employed by Fortune Bros Schlitz,
Mullen and Bartolamae. and Reesing.
| There was a meeting last night in
front Of Moss hall, Olcott avenue which
was attended by a number of the
brewery agents. The latter asked for
another day in which to consider the
proposition, but were refused. The
agents thereupon got their men to-
sether and worked them until mid
night last night making deliveries, as
| to be prepared for a day or two's siege
at least.
The new scale. according to the
business agents has been in the hands
of the brewery agents for a month
and the time limit was up yesterday.
Max Bear. agent for Schlitz says. I'll
fight the proposition as my men are
satisfied and 1 see no reason for the
union to call them of their Jobs. NV
drivers no wmake from s12o to ITO per
month with wages and commissions on
returned empties, and that loks like a
pretty god thing"

Brotherhood of Transfers will be out

look into the situation. The new scale
1t is claimed has been accepted
throughout Lake county with the ex-
ception of East Chicago and Indians

BUCK" LAWRENCE
IN POLICE COURT

James Lawrence, the big buck ne
gro, who runs a cheap photo gallery
down at Fourteenth avenue and
Broadway, is up for trial in the Gary
police court today as a result Of
charges made by small girls. If the
allegations are true and IL the black
lived down south he would have been
hanging to the nearest tree limb long
ago.
Six little girls, ranging from five to
ten years old, are witnesses against
the negro. Stories they told to the
prosecuting attorneys staff reveal
shocking conditions. A little white
girl employed by Lawrence also told
as to his character. just why the DO.
lice permitted a little white girl to
work for the negro buck is not known.
and why the fact that this act was not
resented by white Americans in the
neighborhood is another mystery.

AFTERMATH Of THAT
VALPO BASEBALL MEETING

'sUmpleby's poolroom rules for the
national game are expected to appear
on the local market in printed form.
Fandom is clamoring for just such d.
volume of information in which they
hope to find a logical explanation of
the now historic baseball steal. If the
process by which Hammond was GUST
ed of a to 8 victory over Gary can be
explained as legal the bugs" will

But not until them" said a Hammond
fan today.
A SmaE RaEfnning.
Details of the scandal that has be-
smirched the otherwise fair name of
the Northern Indiana League keep
coming up in the minds of patronss of
the game in every city in the region.
Even Gary fans do not sanction the
decision of officials and managers who
in session al Valparaiso Monday even
ing led Hammond away from its lead
with less effort than it requires to part
a Juvenile from a stick of candy
The game under protest was played
on June "a. A ball batted down the
base line and landing in fair territory
was called fair by the umpire. Ham
mond was at bat and their opponents
the Gary team. registered a kick
through their captain. A discussion
followed in which the umpire refused
absolutely to change his decision. APP
parently resigned the Gary captain
order his men to their positions and
play was resumed. 1t was not until 24
hours after that trouble began to
heave into sight on the eastern hori-
zon. Umpire Reading who had officiat-
ed at the game and declared ii a vic
tory for Hammond made affidavit that
the ball was foul. Such a procedure
was neither legal or fair and long
vehement "Ba" went up from every
city in the league.
A Big Ending.

HOW FAST DO BASEBALLs COZ
Careful Timing Of Ground Hits Es.
tablishes Fact Balls Travel at Rate
Of 60 Miles an Hour.

Ask any fan" how fast an average
"grounder" travels during it's first
hundred feet from the bat, and his
answer will be anywhere from 20 to
200 miles an honr. Split second
watches and careful timing OF many
ground balls have established the fact
that the average speed OF ground balls
that is, those struck by the bat of
the batsman from fair pitched ball,
which strike the intield before they
land in q felder's hands-go at the
rate of almost exactly 60 miles an
hour, faster than the fastest mail
trains.
Sixty miles an hour is 50 feet per
second. The bases are 30 feet apart.
A man who can run a hundred yards
in II seconds, which is fast running
for any one, but particularly SO for a
man with baseball shoes end uniform
on, can run 80 feet in 3.3 seconds. Is
1t any wonder that ball which is
felded in its first 100 feet Of travel
usually reaches FIRST base just frac-
ton of second before or after the
runner sets foot upon It?
Every fan knows the many close de-
cisions at first base form one Of the
destinations of the game. The speed
OF batted ball, the speed at which a
fielder can travel from his position to
the point where he can meet and
field the batted ball. the speed with
which he can stop the ball. pick it up.
set himself for the throw, make the
throw, the speed Of the ball across
the diamond from his throw, and the
speed of the travelling runner, are so
nicely balanced that 1t is always a
question Of whether or not the runner
will get there in time for the crowd
to see the umpire's hands go down,
or whether he will face thumb over
q shoulder indicating that he is out.

Twas with the Better Farming Spe-l
cial on the Northern Pacific during the
first two days. The various depart
ments Of the college have made
great effort to have the train illustrat-
ed in q very systematic manner almost
every phase of the work. done at the
college, and the work is SO well done
that it is very difficult to tell which
car is the most beautiful, neatest ar
ranged, or which one contains the most
useful information. Indeed, in every
car there is kind Of information Pc
culiarly Characteristic Of broad field
of work different from that in every
other car.
For this reason no one can enter
any one car without finding something
Of interest displayed there, as well as
Of value to him. No farmer living
within 90 miles Of a town at which
the train stops can afford to miss the
opportunity Of visiting the train. It is
essentially the agricultural college on
wheels. If the college work is not well
illustrated there, it is doubtful if we
will ever be able to do the work of
bringing the college to the people in
much better FORM
Best Efforts Put Forth.
The railroads furnished the cars to
the college several days before the
train left, and each department made
every effort it could to get a fine edu.
cational exhibit installed. It is evil
dent from the large number Of visitors
that entered the train the first day
that it is hardly necessary to call
tention to the matter.
However, it might be well to state
that every exhibit is under cover, and
even though it is porting down rain,
the people can come to the station,
walk into the cars and view the exhi-
bits just as well as though it were a
clear day. Those who visit the train
during the evening will find it lighted
even more brightly than by daylight.
Therefore, those visiting it during the
day will have but little advantage
, over those visiting it during the night.
Everything is Labeled.
