Warfare at Mines
Expected by Night

CALUMET, Mich, July 26.-The open
statement Of mine officials here that
they would start operations in all
shafts as soon as troops arrived in suf-
ficient numbers to protect their workers,
led to the belief today that open war

striking copper diggers would be threat

bership of the Michigan National Guard

was known that the operators would
then attempt to resume work In the
mines.
Ilnmense damage to the mining prop
critics resulted today from the action
of the 5000 strikers in forcing pump
and enginemen to abandon their work.
Shafts are rapidly filing with water and
1t was believed that the mine officials
would make desperate attempts this
afternoon to start the pumps.

from Governor Ferris that the execu-

got Jones from Minneapolis. Davy
had made a good record in the Amer
lean association, and brilliant ca
was predicted. But it happened that
at that time Jennings had three of the
best outf1elders in baseball-Cobb,
Crawford and Mcintyre. So Jones be-
came utility outflelder.
Year after year since that time jones
has warmed a Tiger bench and ate his
heart out. For Jennings wonderful
trio has stayed with him. Though one
of the best outfielders in the Ameri-
can league Jones has never been a
regular, until now, as he grows old,
he gets chance with Chicago. Jen-
nings would not hear to releasing him
as long as he was at his best. It was
only when Jones began to slip that he
decided to dispose of him.
OF course Jones has been drawing
his salary right along, and it has been
a good one. But red FLOODED player
wants to play; the salary is always a
secondary consideration with him
When the opportunity came to Jones
he played well, and his batting aver
age was always around the 800 mark.
On any team other than Detroit he
would have been a star.
The case of Jones reveals a weak
ness in big league rules. A player with
his ability should not be compelled to
sit idly on a bench through his best
years just because one manager wills

the Philadelphia Athletics, won TWEEN
ty-six games and lost six. His record
in the American league was beaten
only by that of the dazzling Joe Wood
of Boston. While Plank was making
a proud record for himself in Philadel-
pIlia, Mathewson in New York was
winning twenty-three games for the
Giants and losing only twelve. These
records might well be pointed to with
pride by many younger hurlers in the
big leagues.
In thirteen years Mathewson has
twirled ASS games. Of course he has
lost IA and won STA percentage IF
$50. He has helped pitch the Giants
into four league remnants and one
worlds series title. He has pitched N
two post-season series-19o5 and 1910
without losing contest. In the latter
year he won three out of four games
credited to his club.
While Mathewson has been doing
these things for the Giants, Eddie
Plank has twirled in 45S games, win
ming 29s. losing 137. and gaining a
grand percentage of 67S. He has
been instrumental in winning four
remnants for the Athletics and two
worlds championship titles.
