The extraordinary fact. considering the circumstances. was made manifest today that the amount of gold shipped out this year up to the preserk Is greater than the amount for the cor responding period last year. These figures are not arrived at by taking advantage of any sailings or anything else that would favor this year. but they are plain facts.
 When the Senator sailed this year on the fourth of August she carried out s215.3S1 which brought the total shipments for this year up to 3s37.- 17777 while on the fourth of August of last year the total shipments

amounted to only $759,31G.sh. To get at the real comparative figures. how ever, last year should be given credit for $67.628 which the Victoria took out soon after tho 4th. This sum need not be included hut even with that the amount which was shipped out last year Is not ns great as that for this year.
 Even MT. Reed. the customs officer, did not think 1t possible thnt the ship ments were grcater than last year until he went over the figures and proved 1t. The reason why the output is greater Is supposed tO be due to the more successful work of tho dredlges.

Special Nugget Service.
 ST. LOUIS. Aug. 6.--The telephone strik. which lasted for seven weeks In this city was put at an end ycs- terday when the companies agreed to give the operators an eight hour day. During tho strike the telephone com munication of the city was reduced to l. horrible condition. People were unable to speak at all in some instan- cts and for the greater part of the strike it was always a question whether one got long distance or short distance or m distance at all.
 The securing of the eight hour day may bc made n precedent for other telephone operators to asitate upon. The companies always held that tele- phone operators are not skilled la- h'rcrs and that they were paid better thnn other Sorts of unskilled labor srch as girls In factory work.

By C. w. SWAN.

The Railroad Y. N. C. A. League is q
thing Of the past.
President Robert H. Young, of the
Amateur Association. yesterday received
q letter from Secretary Winslow of the
Railroaders' circuit. notifying him that
the league had disbanded for the season.
Trouble had been brewing for the past
two weeks. and finally came to q head
Thursday.
Pressure Of work at the different de-
partments Is given as the reason for the
disbanding Of the league by officials con-
nected with the organization.
The Railroad circuit was without a
doubt the best conducted league under
organized amateur baseball Not a kick
has ever been registered with the ANA
teur Association, and the league enjoyed
prosperity until this season.
Four teams started the present season,
and for a while everything was bright
Then the work in the different depart
ments became heavier, and forfeits began
to crop up.
Then the league started to wabble
First one team and then another would
fail to show up. Southern and Express
men leading the other two. Southern
started first. as the work was SO heavy
that the men could not get on In time to
start . game.
Only one game was played in the last
two weeks In this circuit. meeting
was held last week, and everything was
reported to be in a nourishing condition
and that the teams would all appear
when scheduled
This they failed to do, with the result
that the league broke up. One thing
happened which will long be remembered
The Station outfit won more games in
half season this year than in the last
two years combined
Following is the schedule of the league
when the circuit broke up:
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1913-06-29

/, battle royal is assured the fans. The
gates will be opened at o'clock.
Now comes another protest in the East
Washington Sunday School League. just
when things were getting bright. In the
game between First NJ. P. and St Agnes
/ yesterday, q ball was hit to an out
fielder, who fell when trying for the
catch. and Umpire Jaeschke called the
| runner safe. saying that the player had
dropped the ball when he fell. The next
man up singled, tieing the score.
Acting Manager NJ. Roberts. Of the
st. Agnes team. protested the game at
| once, and last night sent the following
communication to the writer:
! Unless the game played yesterday
| between ST. Agnes and First NJ. P. is
fplayed over, the St Agnes team will
withdraw from the East Washington
Sunday School League. A decision by
Umpire Jaeschke, which helped First
NJ. P. to win, is the cause of the protest
The St Agnes team has the backing Of
nearly every spectator who attended the
game.
M ROBERTS, Acting Manager.
"E. ". FLESTER, Captain"
On top of this comes a statement
from Manager Butz, of the First NJ. P.
team, who said last night: Sure. we'll
play them over. They were lucky 10
get four runs, and the next time well
give them a good beating. Jaeschke
was right in his decision, but we'll
play them over anyway. The league
voted to uphold the umpire, but, at
that, we don't mind giving the boys
another chance"
So the First NJ. psf. Agnes game
of yesterday is to be played over again
and the ST. Agnes team will not quit
the league.
The games in the Marquette League
have been fast to date, few big scores
being made. The feat OF HUMPHREYS
in allowing the ST. Stephens team but
two hits yesterday and losing, TO o.
speaks we'll for the brand of hurting
in this circuit. Errors lost the game.
