For This Nap

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. Feb. IA deal
was completed today by which George
Stovall. of the Maps. was traded even
for Pitcher Lefty George of st. Louis.
This puts an end TO negotiations
started by Frank Navin TO buy George

For some time. Navin has been al
ter George, as Hugh Jennings believes
he would be a great pitcher, but had
nothing save cash to offer. Magnate
Hedges wanted players and finally
fixed the deal with Cleveland.

Mexican Railway Strike

LAREDO, Texas, Dec. 28.-In addi-
ton to the troubles imposed upon it by
The revolution, the Mexican government
was called upon late yesterday TO face
the greatest strike in its history, when
thousands Of men employed in the
shops of the National railway went out
because their demands for an in
crease in pay had not been granted
In addition to an increase in wages
the employees asked some time ago for
The eight hour day. The governments
reply was not satisfactory, and, late
today the boilermakers walked out, TO
be followed IN a short time by mechan-
les from all departments. The first
step was taken at NuevO LardO, acreas
the Rio Grande from this city, ana
word was quickly flashed along the
line Dispatches received indicate that
The strike order was generally
obeyed, and thousands of men are out
all along the line.
1t was expected that the walkout
would occur January 1. as the men
knew some time ago that the reply Of
The government had been unfavorable.
and the strike yesterday therefore was
d great surprise.
