OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
DOESN'T BRING MUCH

Houston, Texas, June ST there is
one thing which the average baseball
enthusiast advocates IL is an effort 10
improve weak hitters. It is not un-
common to hear some individual who
has never had bat in his hand criti-
else the position at the plate OF a play
er VINO probably hits $50 during a sea
son All sorts Of suggestions are made
TO such players by the fans, yet Few
tice-
Manager Griffith has long since
learned that only occasionally is il pos
sIble 10 improve a players hitting. and
then only If he has a fault which is
very apparent But there IS one thing
that Griffith is opposed to. and that
IS TO have batter try to anticipate
when the pitcher is going to throw.
The batter who tries to Outguess the
pitcher is never going to HIT" SAYS
GrlfL Good hitters stand Up there
and hit the ball when they like it
They don't care to know what is com
ing, and don't attempt TO guess OF
course, all batters are fooled. but those
who attempt to Outguess the pitcher
seldom hit That explains in a wa
batting slump, seldom get out of it. If
they happen TO hit poorly they make
up their minds that it VIII benefit them
TO outguess the pitcher, with the re-
suit that they do worse than ever.
VIII not allow my players to try 10 an
tlcipate what is coming. Let them 90
up there and hit at the ball when they
like it, REGARDLESS Of whether il is
fast, slow or curve. and they viii hit
much better than If they try to guess
what it is

BRITISH GIANT TO
BE AT STOCKHOLM
Famous Rover, Boxer and
Football Player to Con
test at OlVlnnicS.


American oarsmen viii meet at
Stockholm, as British competitor. one
of the best allround amateur athletes
now contesting in England.
Bruce LOga, stroke Of the Thames
Rowing club -four" that has been
chosen to represent that country IN the
Olympic games regatta, is an amaz-
ingly versatile young giant who can DO
almost anything he puts his hand to in
the athletic line.
He is. Of course, best known as an
Oarsmanf He is a fimiliar figure at
Henley during the week Of the great
regatta at that famous river resort
The Thames Rowing club -four,
which he strokes, has twice won the
Stewards cup. the highest honor, and
is declared TO be the finest crew seen
In England in many years LOga has
also been frequent winner in the sin
giles
In addition he is considered one OF
the best rugby football players in the
south OF England. Unfortunately his
business-he is a partner in a London
firm Of insurance agents-affOrds him
little time to play and he is not regu-
larly enough on the field TO become
popular figure
But il is in boxing that his heart
is really TO be found Unlike most
English amateur init pushers" he is
rot highly skilled boxer. but relies
instead upon his ruggedness and fore
ing tactics
Once ne reached the English na-
uonal final and would have won had
he not been suffering from a previous
injury On a subsequent occasion he
reached the semifinals.

Statement Of Santa Rita Strikers

! mitteemen representing the different
crafts were requested to meet with the
management again, and at this meet
ing the officers gave their final decis-
ion, which was this:
ITS all off; If You gentlemen don {
see fit to return TO work on our propo-
sitions made at our former meetings,
you can instruct the men you repre-
sent TO call and receive what is due
Jhem' and the quicker you gentlemen
get out Of camp the better it viii be
for you; also the company.
This the men refused
The men had not threatened to strike
on the first day Of June If a favorable
answer was not received, but wanted
to know something in regard to the
increase by that time, but. as the Off
GERS appeared to think it the proper
time on the 29th Of May, in preference
to waiting until June first they
brought the strike upon themselves
by discharging the shovel crew
The strikers felt that the company
precipitated the strike by trying TO
bluff their employees into working for
existing wages before the time asked
for an answer to their request There
fore the strike went into effect ar
1870 p. m. May z9
On the 31st the men feeling that it
was their duty to the company, the
public and themselves to appeal 10
the general manager at Salt. Lake City
for the privilege of having their
grievances explained to him person
ally, as they felt that if such a meet
ing could be arranged that all differ
ences could be satisfactorily adjusted
10 all concerned, this appeal was made
by wire.
We were advised in reply that he
could not see where we had any room
for a grievance, and that he fully sus-
tanned the action taken by his local
officers in Santa Rita and that the
matter was entirely in their hands
Upon receiving this reply the men
affected voted TO leave camp as soon
as possible. and declared the Chino
Copper company to be an unfair com
pany for q union man to work for IN
the classes Of service mentioned
However. I viii state that the men
affected in the wal.SJut were members
of various different local OrganiZa-
lions and the federatiOn's papers were
drawn by the men affected and made
an Organization of their own we feel
that we conducted the affair In
square. fair method, and made every
effort to come TO some satisfactory
settlement, and after giving up all
hope. decided to leave the camp and
tell TO whom it may concern that we,
the men affected. believe the company
was unfair to US

FIRST CONCERT OF
SEASON is ENJOYED

Cleveland square was the center OF
population Tuesday night. The fourth
cavalry band gave its opening concert
Of the summer season and the downtown
square was crowded with people to hear
the crack cavalry band. Among the
crowd was a large number OF Mexican
refugees who are making their homes in
Ell PasO. They were among the leaders
in the applause for the different numbers
on the program and seemed to appre-
ciate the courtesy Of Col Steever in loan
ing his crack band as much as did the
FL PasO folks.
The special descriptive number, The
Battle of Little Big Horn" had to be
repeated before the crowd would cease
aPplauding.

Chicago Pug Is Wise in
Hanging Onto the Cool
Coin Wise!

When Packey Mcfarland knocked out
Pete West, his first opponent. in two
rounds eight years ago. he received
SIS. He was in the habit of working
six days a week in the Chicago stock
yards for a third of that sum, so he
decided to become a professional boxer.
The other night Mcfarland got $4,000
for boxing 10 rounds with Matt Wells
in Madison Square garden-S1, 600 a
round, or S333-33 minute This was
the largest cash guarantee the stock
yards champion ever took down for q
glove fight, and 1t increased his total
winnings in the ring to more than
S110, 000 IN return for exhibitions on
the various theatrical circuits McFar-
land has earned enough to enable him
TO write a check for 100000, the fl

To prove that all boxers are not

Packey is only "A years old, he realizes
