DENVER, May 6.-Governor Am.
mons announced today that he haG
been advised that the Starkville strik-
j.. ers this afternoon would vote wheth-
er they would surrender their arms
to the federal troops. He declared
that William Diamond, the miners
leader, told Colonel James Lockett
commanding the federal troops, that
the leaders could not control the
strikers who would not surrender
their guns. The governor thinks the
indications are that the vote will op-
pose disarming.
The governor also announced that
Captain Dorm, commanding the mill
tia at Oak Creek, reported conditions
there were bad and an outbreak was
feared.
William Hickey, secretary of the
State Federation of Labor, telegraph
ed Congressman Keating that it was
impossible to convince the strikers
they would get fair deal when the
mine operators were importing ne
= groes and Japanese to mine under
guards, thereby violating the state
law. The miners take this to mean
the operators will have protection un-
der the federal troops.
Colonel Lockett will post disarma-
ment orders IN southern Colorado to-
morrow.

$$ s$sss Hank Gregory Cut From Baron Squad

NCOTT CHENUTT is being hailed
 around the circuit as the o livest umpire on Judge Kava- naughs string this season and the one who injects more speed into the games than any other who is draw ing pay for officiating in the cir cult Outside of a slight complaint from Chattanooga, Chesnutt has been giving complete, sa atisfaction in the towns where he has worked and we have sneaking suspicion that Lookout fans are not down on him either, though they did raise a big howl over decision rendered by him in the first series of tho cam paign. Chesnutt will not tolerate the players loafing during the play and has a way of keeping them on tieir toes throughout, much 10 the relief of the fans.
 The one chief complaint of South- ern league fans in general this spring has been the time that 1t has taken majority of the games to be played. Many have taken as long as three hours to stage and this has caused numbers of fans in the various towns to become dis gusted with the situation.
 But the games in which Ches- mutt works, according to reports, are of different variety The Bir- mingham boy speeds the players up and the result Is that they are not long and drawn out affairs. Nash vile sporting writers have a high estimation of his ability and assert that he will give more satisfaction to Dixie fans this year than any of hs colleagues
 Regarding Chestnut, who is of ficiating in the important series be- tween the Pelicans and Loolxouts, the New Orleans Item has the fol- lowing to say:
 We're glad to meet you. Mir Scott Chestnut. You look to be the livest member among the umpires who have come here this season.

 DROPPED BY MOLEY
Spit Ball Heaver Placed Ineligible Lst While Bell Given Outright Release Billy Smith Drops Ham
 Reynolds

Yesterday was the final day of grace allowed Southern league managers to get within the player limit by President kavanaugh and as a result the pruning Knife was piled industriously by all the pilots.
 Manager Molesworth of the Barons cut ms squad to the required size by releas- Ing Charlie Bell a local product, outright and placing Pitcher Hank Gregory on the ineligible list. As soon as Moley finds berth for Gregory the spit baller will be placed It was first announced that Gregory had been turned over to the Evansville club. but he was later switched to the ineligible list.
 The release of Bell was not unexpected as he was only filling the utility role un- til Carroll recovered from a spike wound in the hand. but that of Gregory was un- looked for as Moley had announced
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-05-14

earlier in the season that he intended tc carry six beavers and it was naturally believed that Gregory would retain a po- stion on the staff again this season.
 Gregorys release can be attributed to the poor condition he is in. The spit ball f1inger has not been able to get in trim this season so the Baron leader decided to farm him out.
 The local club will get along with five pitchers until June l, when Ponder, last season with Dallas in the Texas league will report. The contest between Mo Bride and Magee has not been settled yet and Moley intends to carry both for sev- eral weeks longer.

After sweeping triumphantly through Atlanta and New Orleans, adding victory on victory to their string, the league-lead- ing Lookouts met tartar yesterday after noon in the local team. and when the smoke of battle had ascended the Barons were in possession of the field with a to victory tackled up on the scoreboard. which was made conspicuous during the tilt by clout off McDonalds war club that cleared it by over three feet.
 The hefty wallop inaugurated the eighth frame, and was one of the several prom inent feats that characterized the contest In the seventh an error by the Baron third sacker after two were down enabled the Lookouts to score their only run of the game preventing Curley Brown, the Baron moundsman, from securing d shut out. Leading off in the following inning, Mcdonald caught the second ball pitched and sent 1t flying well over the score board in right field Although this feat has been accomplished several times since Redwood became the established home of the Barons it was the first time that a local batter has pulled the stunt.

 Pittsburgs showing in the Nation- al league this spring is not so won derful when 1t is taken into eonsid- eration that only four regulars are batting over 300 that two are not far beneath this figure and also that five beavers have clean records up- to-date. Individually, the Pirates are towering above the other players in the organization so it Is only nat ural for the team to be sl<y-rocket- ing toward the top.
 
 Due to the versatility of young Bar bare with the willow Knaupp, the regular Pelican short fielder last sea son, has been let out by Manager Johnny Dobhs of the Pelicans in order to get within the player limit. Bobby Gilks of the Billilxens has been desir- ous of securing Knaupp for some time so he was turned over to the Mont gomery club yesterday
 pohbs also intends to carry six pitchers until the team gets into such shape as five can be gotten along With At this time Mcintyre is ex- pected to be the one turned loose. especially as Dobbs has acquired 'Rube" Kissinger from the Crackers. Ellam is showing an improvement in his hitting. For three days now the blond shortstop has been hammering the ball viciously.
 Ray Boyd has the fans behind him in Chattanooga and they are eagerly pulling for him to get back into old time shape and earn for himself regular place on the Lookout team this season Ai- though his arm went dead In 1918 Chattanooga fans cite Fox. their come back right lander as an ex- ample of what a pitcher can do in the way of regaining form and are hopeful that the former Baron will duplicate the feat. Fox, who is now topping Southern league fingers, went to pieces last sea son and was of little worth but this spring has regained his old time form and Mccormick Is hail. ing him as the leagues most promising moundsman. Boyd's ease Is practically parallel to that of Fox and 1t Is hoped that he will come around similar to the other come backs.
 Boyd joined the Lookouts yes- terday. coming from Chattanooga. where he has been working out during the past two weeks When the Lookouts went on the road sometime back Mccormick left Boyd behind so as to enable him to follow out regular training programme. Local fans are also backing him to make good with the visitors
 Boyd was 6 good pitcher before his arm went lame and If he can ever regain his lost form he will prove invaluable to the I.ool<outs in their battle for the pennant.

 Knisely and Ems also contributed three baggers and both resulted in runs.
 "Curley" Brown and Harding opened for the contending teams, and each last ed the full nine innings. Brown yielded up five safe raps and Harding nine. sev- eral of which were punched. The Baron twirler had the best of the argument, striking out six to three registered by Harding. and giving away three passes to a similar number by his opponent Out side of the first, eighth and possibly the ninth, Brown had the Lookouts on his hip moving them down easily in the sec ond, third, fourth. fifth, sixth and sew enth.

 Both teams counted in the eighth. With one down, Ems landed on the ball for a triple to center. Brown pulled himself together and struck out Balenti. Baby Doll'' Jacobson then hit sharply to third and Mcdonald fumbled and then dropped the ball entirely, allowing Ems to cross the plate.
