AT BAYONET POINT
SOLDIERS HELD
STRIKERS
Serious Clash This Morning at
Lawrence.
MANY PERSONS ARE INJURED
Governor Foss Has Ordered Five
More Companies Of State Militia
To Lawrence.

Lawrence, Mass, Jan. 15.-The
three companies of state militia,
which went on duty here today be-
cause of the strike of 1900 mill
operatives in the big wooden mills,
had clash almost Immediately with
large body of strikers.
Several thousand strikers in an
angry mood gathered in compact
body and seemed to be preparing to
make an attack on the mills where
they had been employed.
A large force of police and special
officers tried to dispense the strikers
but were driven back with several
injured from sticks and stones.
The national guard officers waited
until it was clear that the police
we're helpless. With fixed bayonets,
but unloaded rifles the soldiers then
charged the crowd which stood for
a moment shouting and throwing a
few missiles.
AS the soldiers came closer at
quick pace with bayonets set the
crowd of strikers suddenly melted
away and the militia is in command
of the situation.
Governor Foss has ordered five
more companies of the national
guard to report at Lawrence at once.

SENTENCED FOR LARCENY
Alseon Pomfret Given 81 Days In the
County Jail.

County Jail.
Algeon Pomfret, a husky looking
individual who said that he was
born in Ireland and that he had been
working on the Dexter A, Gleason
lumber job, was arraigned before
Municipal Judge e. H. Holden Satur
day afternoon on the charge of petty
larceny, convicted and sentenced to
81 days in the county jail.
Algeon was arrested on North ST.,
by Chief of Police Brazil. The Off
Ger had received complaints that two
men had been panhandling about
the village and from the description
easily recognized Algeon. When tax
en- into custody Algeon had 20 sand
witches, several cans OF timed meat
and a bottle Of Florida water in his
pockets. The sandwiches and timed
meat had been gathered by begging
at houses and stores In the village
but the bottle of Florida water, II
was learned by investigation, had
been appropriated from one OF the
show cases in the Quinlan drug
store. 1t was the theft Of the Florida
water that gave Algeon his 81 days
sentence. 1t is only justice to the
man to state that he was fairly well
intoxicated at the time he took the
bottle.
The other panhandler who worked
with Algeon was smaller man. The
little fellow stated at the Jail, where
he applied for nights lodging, that
he did most of the begging in ac
cumulating the supply OF sandwiches
and timed meat. Algeon was sc
healthy and able that he knew he
wouldn't receive much sympathy oil
food. The little man was given
nights shelter at the jail and re
leased in the morning as there was
no charge against him.

HENRY'S KNEE MUST
Be OPERATED ON
Big Catcher Is Suffering From
Floating Cartilage, Which
Will Be Removed.
GRIFF ORDERS HIM
TO PROCEED EAST
Hopes to Have Him Ready by
Time the Season of
1913 Opens.
BY ]. ED GRILLO.

John Henry, the Nationals star CATCH
err Will have to undergo an operation on
MS knee before he can ever hope to be
of service to the local team again
Manager Griffith received letter from
Henry, who is out on the coast. this
morning to the effect that a specialist
has pronounced his trouble as float
ing cartilage. or knee mouse. which will
have to be removed before the trouble
some member can be expected to serve
him competently again.
Griffith has wired Henry to come here
at once and will then arrange for the
operation. 1t is likely that Henry will
want to spend the holidays at his home
in Amherst before going under the sur
geons knife. Griffith figures that by hav-
ing the operation performed Immediately
after the first of the year Henry will be
able to do his share of the catching by
the time the season opens. 1t develops
that Henry injured his knee four or five
years ago while playing foot ball and
that his injury last year was not the
first he has encountered to the knee.
1t is believed that 1T will require about
two months after the operation before
Henry will be able to play. and it is not
believed that the operation will interfere
with his going to the training camp with
the Nationals.
Ty Cobb. who needs no introduction. is
in the city. The Tigers great star is
here on mission for the citizens of Au-
gusta, Ga. who are anxious to have
President-elect Wilson place Augusta in
his itinerary of his coming southern trip.
Ty is going to Princeton to have a chat
with Gov. Wilson, whom he met in De-
trOit last year.
Ty, who is quartered at the Willard,
does not consider himself a hold-out by
any means. He says that he has not
been rendered a contract by the Detroit
club but that he has had chat with
President Navin relative to what he eX-
poets to draw for the next three years.
He does not expect to have any trouble
getting into the fold of the Tigers.
Washington is sure to be a contender
in the coming pennant race and with
any kind Of luck may win the pennant.

The Detroit team will be largely expert

have to try out a lot of youngsters
Cobb looks to be in perfect condition.
Word comes from ST Louis that Roger
Bresnahan has agreed to accept $4,000
to surrender his contract with the St.
Louis club. AT this figure a settlement
is pretty sure to be reached shortly, and
then Bresnahan will have time to sit
back and allow Cincinnati. Pittsburgh
and Chicago to bid for his services. Bres-
nahan is very much in demand. Good
catchers are still very scarce article
and Bresnahan undoubtedly is one of the
best in the game today. AS all three of
the clubs that want him have pennant
aspirations, the chances are that he will
be the best paid catcher in the game next
season.
The action of the board of directors of
the National League in the handling of
the Bresnahan case may not have been

One reason why Chance should not turn
down that New York proposition is that
no club in the country furnishes better
opportunity for ii manager to distinguish
himself than the Highlanders. In the first
place. the team has been failure for
several years. and any sort of improve
ment in its standing will be appreciated
and reflect credit upon its leaders. But,
better still, there is some fairly good ma
terial to be turned over to the new mama
ger.
In fact on paper. Chance would be
handed better foundation for "a winner
than Griffith had when he took charge of
the Nationals. To begin with, Chance
would have fairly good pitching staff.
one which might upset calculations if
properly handled. In Chase he has a Won
derful ball player for his iniield. though
it must be admitted that the rest OF the
material for the infield does not promise
much. In the outfield the team is well
fortified. Cree. Wolters and Lelivelt are a
cracking good trio, all being good hitters.
There is good catcher, too, in Sweeney,
and il must be conceded that with any
sort of luck that team should not have
any trouble getting out OF the eighth hole.
The reported announcement from Ban
on the Polo Grounds next season appears
to have been premature. Johnson denies
having made any such statement. but ad-
mits that arrangements to bring THIS
about viii be put under way at once. II
Is but natural that the other American

Giants average between 10000 and 12,oo

that even without the Highlanders hold

have the attendance would increase 10
per cent if the games were played on the
Polo Grounds and this of course. would
mean more business for the entire league.

Bridwell preceded Terry Turner as an

him out and he was sent to Atlanta.
When Turner was sold to Cleveland
BridweH was recalled. Cincanniati
bought him in 1905 and after a fair
trial let him go to the Boston Nationals.
Boston found use for him in 1906 and the
following season, and then included him
in the big trade with the Giants. a deal
that sent First Baseman Tenney and
Catcher Needham also to New York in
exchange for Bill Dahlen Frank Bower
man. Dan McGann and Cecil Ferguson.
He remained with New York until mid
season, 1911, when he was traded back
to Boston for Third Baseman Herzog.
Now he goes to the Cubs, Johnny
Evers having purchased him to work i'm
the infield in the event of Red Corridor
failing to make good. 1t is no certainty
that Corridor will deliver. He made no
big splash as d third sacker for the
Tigers last fall. and the chances are that
Frank Navin was migty glad to get rid
of him. inasmuch as he had invested
something like $1,000. part of which was
probably stage money or Navin's valua-
ton of players to be turned over to Kan
sas City.
Bridwell has always ranked as grand

as IA strong hitter. His best batting rec

TEACHING NEW GAME
Out in Kansas, Which Is Basket Ball
and Foot Ball Combined.

TOPEKA. Kan, December 16.-Director
Driver has been teaching his freshman
gym class at Washburn a new game
which is a combination of foot ball and
basket ball. Any number of men can
play, the only restriction being that there
be an even number Of players on each of
the two teams. The game is played on
the foot ball field with a foot ball. One
team protects one goal and the other the
other goal. just as in basket ball. The
ball is kicked off and then passed as In
basket ball until one side manages to
carry the ball to their opponents fifteen
yard line. where a drop kick for goal is
tried. The only way to score is by drop
kicking from the fifteen-yard line. The
game is fast, safe and very interesting,
1t is said
