There has been quiet period TO,

John J. Whirl. secretary OF the EN-

upward with q diagonal motion, to in.
dicate how business prospects are

There are many small signs which

We have recently had to advertise
Tor men. Usually the applicants for
Jobs are al that We can 6nd places
Tor. That's one sign. Another ID
that the factories are demanding wood
and metal pattern.makers and too,.
makers. That means that they In.
tend to prepare for q goo1 winter
trade.
The factories are not laying men
on; on the contrary, they are begin

cd replies from many factories 70.
comfy that while they are not looking
TOR extra men, they will give employ.
ment to exceptionally good men who
apply. That means that they will
make places for these men and carry
them In the expectation that their SER
vices will be valuable very soon.
There n very little holding-up OF
orders for factory products. Often an
accessory plant In the automobile In
dustyy, for instance, will receive an
order for $4,000 parts. A they are
being run out, the plant will receive
orders not to ship for 16 days. or 30
days. The buyer wants more time.
That II seldom the case Just now.
This II q very good indication OF
prosperous conditions.
Il have heard little about the de-
mand for unskilled labor. That II
usually taken care Of at the factory
doors. The association does not get
IN touch with It to any extent.
There has been q steady influx
OF mechanics to Detroit recently, from
other cities, where operations are
quiet. This IL due to Detrott's wide
reputation a. . manufacturing city.
These mechanics. thrown out Of EN-.
ployment by quiet conditions elsc'
whore, have had Detroit as their nrst
thought. Those who were any good
ct al have been able to and work
here. In fact, the quiet summer was
q good thing. for this influx from
other cities, without effort on our
part, has been able to all the demand
for new men. due to Detroit's growth,
and w have not had to rake the coun-
try for mechanics. 90 we have had to
do In some Of the more furious pc

II understand that conditions are
very good In Cleveland. good In In

FANS STAY AWAY
FROM BALL PARK
Poor Work Of rags" 0lougn and Weird Performances Of
Grfmen Against Athletics Cuts Attendance to Smith
ereens-HlIebrand Does Some Good Work.
By SENATOR"

That poor umpirins and poor baseball
have a most rapidly depressing effec,
upon the fans of the Capital was shown
by the small attendance at the opening
game Of the first Western invasion OF
1913. The fans have certainly soured
on Rags" O'Loushlin and the crowds
will probably remain small as long ~
he Ia retained here by that supreme
archon OF baseball, Byron Bancroft
Johnson
Owing to the slow, dragging game
yesterday. there was little enthusiasm
among the bugs. They didn't seem to
care whether Rags was good or bad.
Then. too. he had little to do. though
he worked behind the plate. John
Henry gased around at him question
balls" on deliveries that cut the heart
of the plate. but no uproar ensued.
The worst decision Of Rags" during
the big backstop was hitting In the
fifth. Hamilton hurled one high and
slow toward the plate. II was on q
level with Henry's head but Rags"
called II a strike. Henry threw down
his bat in disgust at such eyeslsht In
1t and waited for walk. which he got.
Undoubtedly Mondays double-header
drew its immense throng because Of the
advertised attraction OF two games for
single admission. the first visit of
the Philadelphia Athletics and Walter
home team. coupled with the worse
than painful officiating of Rags"
O'Loughlin, knocked that crowd down
to almost nothing yesterday. The bugs
out in the jury box were positively
lonesome. A mere handful occupied the
pavilions. The grand stand was a
windy waste.
One way for Ban johnson to ruin the
attendances at his various parks in this
league Is to schedule Objectionable
guessers for long stays. St Louis had
TO endure O'Loughlin and Ferguson for
more than three weeks this spring, de-
spite all complaints against them. And
the fans simply stayed away from the
park The same thing Is bound to
happen here, too, unless the archon Of
baseball gets busy.
Under most circumstances the Detroit
Tigers should draw well here. but II
Rags" O'Loughlin il still on the Job
in the Capital when the Jungaleers ar
rive Saturday, the chances are very
much against them in the way Of bring
ing crowds. At the latest, the official
guessers should be shifted on every two
series. O'Loughlin came here with the
Red sox. He should go out with the
Brownies.
Hildebrand. who OBLIGATED in the field
yesterday. made a good impression on |
those fans who remained awake to sea
him work. He Is fast in covering plays /,
and seemed to get along with the play
ers in good style. However. few close
decisions came his way and that aided |
him. He looks like pure gold beside |
Rags O'Loughlin.
