Local interest in the phenomenal rise
of the Boston Braves from tailenders
to champions of the National league
has been extremely keen during the
past month. Even before the close of
the Twin State season the outcome of
the games in which the Stallinos or

topic of discussion among the fans who
gather about the Reformcr bulletin

In this connection it will doubtless
interest local baseball followers to
know that the Boston National league

1888 under the leadership of John T.
Morrill, played against Brattleboro
team Oct. p Of that year. The game
took place on the old park on Frost

Arthur J. Kean, manager of Bob
Kean, and presumably his brother,
has the following statement to make
in favor of his own: II am inclined to
believe there is prejudiced feeling
rison boxers who perform in the Cen
trail Institute. If the bouts go the
limit of four rounds the decision is
generally awarded in favor of the
Newark boys, but from a spectator s
viewpoint that decision is wrong"
Arthur goes on to say: There is
one particular case that 1 have refer
ence to, and this is the bout between
Bobby Kean and Young Duffy last
Monday night. Kean was the ag-
gressor and did most of the forcing.
He left the ring fully convinced that
he won the bout and was commended
for his good showing by several spec
tators. He was disappointed to read
the account of the bout in the Star.
Bobby Is willing to meet any lad at
116 pounds"
Civic prides does not enter into any
decision given in the Evening Star.
In this particular case it was the
opinion of the man who covered the
Troxler show last week that Kean
lost.
Charley Krasner writes the follow
ing in favor of Red Mack:
Just arrived from New Haven and
am glad to state that Red Mack
knocked out Young Britt, of New
York, in the fourth round of a sched-
uled eight-round bout. The promoters
are going to match Mack with the
best bantamweight around here for
fifteen rounds. While the affair with
Britt lasted 1t was a corker. I read
the other day where Jimmy Dunn's
manager is anxious to match his man
with Red. Now he can get all the
fight he wants if there is any money
in it. Mack is in fine condition and
Is feeling in the best of health"

BLOODY DEED AT WALSENBURC:
VIOLATION OF FLAG OF TRUCE

The handful of troops that respond
ed to the order to return to thefield
whence the Governor had recalled
them had busy week. How flags Of
truce and treaties were broken by la
Dor leaders and their counsel makes
a story that is appalling in revelation
of moral turpitude.
On Monday, April 81, 1914, while in
command of the troops in Fremont
County, the Governor telephoned Gen.
eral Chase information relative to an
attack on the McNalley mine at Wal
senburg and directed the reinforce
ment of Troop E, which had been or.
dered on duty COR the protection of
life and property. Sixty men were
sent from Ludlow and twenty from
Denver, Captain F. F. Bowling being
in command. Both Captains Bowling
and Brooks reported during the day
of April %, 1914, that it would be
impossible without heavy loss Of life
to dislodge the rioters from the re-
zion north and west of Walsenburg.
On April 20, 1914, 1875 additional men
were sent from Ludlow under COM
mand Of Colonel Verdeckberg. The
troops were deployed into position,
after the completion of the necessary
patrolling had been done, little after
ten o'clock. Sharp firing then con-
tinued until one. General Chase in
Denver received telephone commun-
'ication from the Governor and the

William Waddell, who had been shot
in the leg and tortured by strikers,
but who had eluded them, was later
found. Mr.. Waddell's home and
those Of others in the camp had been
burned to the ground. William Wad-
dell left Denver last week to find
work In a mine in another state. He
was superintendent for Mr.. Siple and
a splendid citizen who lost his all on
that awful day in Aguilar. The treat
ment of Matt Waddell is told in an
affidavit and deposition and shows the
malign nature Of his captor's hearts.
Mr.. Siple and the men with him,
old miners, none Of them mine
guards"-for he employed none
were In the mine flfty-two hours with.
out food or drink other than the mine
water-the mine was terribly damp
and cold.
The Empire property is filling with
water. Siple and his associates were
hit hard. but they ask only a chance
under good government to rebuild and
once more operate the mine. They
have no connection with the Rookie
Teller or other companies. Mr.. Siple
refused to discharge good men at the
dictation of the union and his perse-
cution and loss of property was due
to the fact that he had no mine
guards" Properties having them
were not blown up. Only the arrival
Of the National Guard saved him and
his men from death by starvation.

WHO BROUGHT THE CREEKS

horde here which has caused so much
trouble. Well, they didn't bring 1853
Of the Greeks-count 'em 16S-who
were in the army that shot at the
National Guard at Ludlow. When
General Chase gave the order to vac
cinate everybody in the colony 1853
Greeks had certificates handed them
at the port OF entry-New York or
Boston-showing they had been vac
cinated and all of these had reached
the United States since September
II, 1913. They didn't work day In
the coal mines Of Colorado nor were
they hired to do so. They were en-
ployed to become members Of the
union because they are gunner,
trained soldiers who fought in the
Balkan war. When General Chase
approached the colony each one Of
them touched the hat he wore, In
true military precision. Photographs
In General Chase's possession show
them standing with toes turned out
like soldiers and rifles held as only
soldiers hold them. Don't lay these
Greeks to the operators.

Here in Boulder County seven men
have been killed, hundreds were bad

at Rugby for noon mess. At that
point about 400 strikers had been as
sembled, but following a smoke sig
nal while the troops were still a
couple of miles distant, fled into the
hills. After reaching Rugby, the
commanding general proceeded with
a mounted detachment to the South
western mine. as 1t was thought Mr..
Waddell, his son and others were still
in the mine. The fury of the strikers
had been vented on this property.
With the exception of two small
buildings, every structure on the place
had been burned or dynamited.
Horses, mules, goats and sheep had
been wantonly slaughtered or burned.
No persons were found in or about
the property. A detachment Of caval-
~ was sent over the top OF the hill
into Green Mountain Canon with d.
rections to rescue any refugees who
might be in or about the properties
located there. It was this detach-
ment of cavalry which found Mr.. Siple
