catching department. considering the
staffs as a whole, while the Athletics
have the margin of strength on the
infield. Little IL any advantage can
be said to exist so far as the outfield
is concerned. This leaves the bat
ting and base running of the rival
clubs as assets that must figure
largely in the ultimate result. Here
again the comparison appears to show
close to an even break. The Phila-
delphia players considered as team
are better hitters, while on the bases
the New York representatives are,
from collective standpoint, faster
and more frequent base stealers.
When all is said and done, it ap-
pears to resolve itself into question
as to whether the Philadelphia twirl-
ers can hold the Giants batters in
check while the Athletics are collect

he says, there has been no outbreak
by the miners. He does not charge
the shooting at Oakview to the strik
ing miners, and says that If there
really was shooting it was done by
some one else. The investigation he
has made leads him to the belief that
peace will be maintained to the end
of the trouble.
The expense of caring for the
strikers and their families is going
to be heavy on the International min
ers' union, as a weekly distribution
of $4,000 is to be made. Provision
for this sum is being made by the
directors. who are now in session at
Indianapolis. Should the strike drag
along for year the cost of providing
for these strikers will reach total
of nearly $4,000 900, say local union
leaders.
Local headquarters of the United
Mine Workers of America are re-
ceiving news daily from every sec
tion of the state affected by the
strike. From North Colorado the
information is that the strikers are
gaining ground and that several hun
dred non-union miners have joined
the union ranks. At Lafayette over

On the other hand the operators
declare their men are standing firm
and that they will be able to keep
the mines running although with
curtailed force. They say that in
most instances not enough men have

The fact that some twenty or thir-

have been discharged has caused

the strike cannot be far off. Union
leaders here believe that their dis
