Chicago. Aug. 24.-The New York American League club was given no opportunity to bid for Joe Jackson, the star outfielder sold several days ago by the Cleveland club to the Chi cago Americans. That fact came to light yesterday in a statement made by Captain Til Huston, part owner of the Yankees, in answer to the query presented by the New York Press.
 Captain Huston, who is making the rounds with the Yankees paid little visit to President Ban Johnson yes terday and the New York magnate registered a complaint against the methods pursued in the league regard in the disposal of players in general and to the White Sox in particular.
 I've never got a chance to put in a bid for Jackson" said Captain Illus ton. ''New York fans can rest as sured that if we had been notified that Jackson was on the market we would have gone the limit to get the hard-hitting outfieIder-just the kind of a player we have been looking for. However, while we heard reports that Jackson was on the market, we thought them just idle talk and were not given any notification by the Cleveland club that the player was to be had.
 "A similar state of affairs existed with regard to Bill James, the pitcher

 However, the boys. from the r.sshow me- town didn't need to hit in the first portion Of the doubIe-header, for Pol Perrltt, once Cardinal himself, and T1uhe Schaller were as wild as March hares, and if the pair were not handing out free tickets to the initial sack or bouncing the baH off the grand stand they were trying to crip-

RUNNER MEREDITH
 TIRED OUT, WILL \ TAKE YEARS REST

New York, Aug. 24-The athletic enthusiasts who expected to see Ted Meredith make another attempt on Maxey Longs straightaway record of 4 seconds for the 40 yards will have to wait perhaps year for the much expected event. There will be no more attempt at records the part of Meredith this season, for he has gone to a Maine camp for rest. The Pennsylvania boy has been running continuously for about a, year and has literally run himself clean off his legs. Of course, he was possessed of the idea that he could feat AZ seconds on a straightaway course for the quar- ter. but somehow the right oppor- tunity never presented itself. He did do AT seconds at Frisco, but on ac- count of the wind behind him it will not be accepted by the Record Com rnittee.
 After the failure of Meredith at Frisco there was talk of holding a special meet at Gutenberg to give him another trial, but now that he has taken to the tall timbers the men who proposed the meet will go no further with it.

Wagner's Watch Tower

So far the Brooklyn Dodgers have failed. to start their expected winning streak which their supporters hoped would carry them into first place. The long home stay was regarded Eas cer- tain to give Brooklyn a chance to gain on the Phillies but the trouble has been that the Phillies refused to slump. They go merrily on their way playing steady ball without indulging in prolonged losing or winning streaks. They increased their lead over Brook lyn yesterday to 1 5 points by breaking even, while the fast going Reds beat the Dodgers.
 Meanwhile the Braves are making their beIated drive for the top. They have played wonderful ball since arriving home and yesterdays victory over Pittsburgh has placed them v points in the rear of the Phillies. If Pitcher James had been able to de- liver for Boston this season the Braves might have been f1rsN by this time.
 You can't get by in baseball on a relatives reputation. George Kelly is nephew of Bill Lange, who was a wonderful player when he wore a Chi cago uniform. Kelly made repu- tation as a hitter in the Northwestern league but since he joined the Giants hasn't been able to get a solitary hit. So he was benched yesterday.
 Pitcher Vance from St. Joseph. Mo, of the Western league, joined the New York Americans in Chicago yesterday. He was a great speed merchant in fhe

West. The Yankees are not SO Jeff cient in pitching. What they need is little more batting.
 It is said that the Phillies are try ing to get Pitchers Vaughn or Cheney from the Chicago Cubs. The Quaker City staff has shown signs of willing lately and Manager Moran is making desperate efforts to bolster it up.
 The National league directors are to decide Rube Bentons case today. The only disinterested directors, Gaffney9 will decide whether the Cincinnati pitcher belongs to Pittsburgh or the Giants. McGraw claims he had a prior option on the players services. If Benton is sent to the Giants it is understood that Marquard will be all lowed to go to Pittsburgh to sooth the wounded> feelings of the Pirates, Marquard has outIived his usefulness in New York and would probably be glad. to get away.
 A change in scenery often works. wonders with a player. Take the case of Snodgrass for instance.. In the lat ter part of his stay in New York his speciality was striking out. Yesterday in his first game for the Braves he made two bagger that won the con- test from the Pirates.

TRADE AGREEMENTS.
Value of a Joint Arbitration Board In
Settling Industrial Disputes.

Value of Joint Arbitration Board In
Settling Industrial Disputes.
One of the things asked for by the
workers i'll about eighty Chicago gar
ment manufactures is the establish
ment of a joint board Of employers and
employees for the arbitration of differ
ences Presumably such an agency
would be similar to that which has
proved so successful in the garment
making industry of New York city.
Under such an arrangement technical
questions concerning Shop and working
conditions generally are submitted to
shop committee or court with a neu-
tral umpire rs chairman When such
committee fails TO settle the disagree.
ment the question goes 20 an arbitra-
ton board for final adjustment IN
New York joint sanitary board also
has materially improved the physical
conditions under which garment max
ers work
Such method OF adjusting differ
ences is insurance against strikes and
loclouls in an Industry The eXpe-
rience of the last SUMMER iii the gar
ment trades of New York city is sig
nidcant Objection had been made
that the spirit of the arbitration agree
ment had not been fulfilled When on
the verge OF striking the workers, how
ever, exercised their better judgment
and agreed TO submit the case to an un-
prejudiced tribunal They emphasized
their responsibility in the matter of a
strike entailing tremendous hardship
for thousands Of workers and their
families and possible failure for many
manufacturer So the difficulty was
finally adjusted.
Fair arbitration agreements ought t.
become general not only in the garment
industry Of Chicago. but in other in
dustries Action ought 10 be taken
without undue delay to hasten that
ideal day in the Industrial world
mentioned in one of the federal indus
trial relations commission reports
which viii he reached when ali labor
disputes are settled as a result Of rea
son and not as a result Of force. Chi

ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE.
Cats, Dogs and Monkeys Seem to Be In
a Class by Themselves.

Horses are generally given credit for
a great deal more Intelligence than
they actually possess. Scientific tests
show that in wisdom such as human
beings display horses are hopelessly
outclassed by dogs, monkeys and even
cats
The horse can be taught TO do certain
things just because be is too stupid to
have any ideas of his own. Like many
human prize pupils, he can learn. but
cannot think.
So far as intelligence goes, psyche,
logical experiments show that it is
practically a dead heat between cats
dogs and monkeys.
The dog has human morals; there
fore people are apt to assume that be
has human logic. But the cat, say GER
tain persons, in sheer brains stands
next to man. He has the adaptive in
telligence that makes him equally al
home in parlor and wild woods and gets
him a living anywhere A cat. it is
argued, can think faster and take care
of himself under more different condi
tions than any other living thing ex
cept man.
Monkeys undoubtedly seem more in
telligent than they really are because
they resemble human beings in actions
and outward appearance so much more
closely than other animals.
Some scientists maintain that, al
though the monkey may be really nc
more intelligent than the cat or dog
his intelligence is certainly more like
the human type.
Although he may not think better
his methods of thought are more like
those of man than are those of The
other animals. Plain Dealer

STEEL FOB ARTILLERY.
Tremendous Pressure the Barrels of
Big Guns Must Bear.

Big Guns Must Bear
Modern high powered guns could not
be built without steel strong enough to
resist the enormous pressure, to which
they are subjected. Few understand
how great these prcssures are-almost
as far beyond ordinary comprehension
as are the distances of the stars or the
number of atoms in glass of water
An attempt to state the matter in
form that will mean something to tbs
ordinary mind is made by a contribu
tor to La Nature in an article entitled
THE Strains Resisted by Gun Metal"
He writes:
when the marvels Of modern artil-
iery are described perhaps we direct
our admiration too exclusively to the
mechanicians who have combined to
construct it. We must not, however.
forget the metallurgist, for it is owing
to the astonishing qualities of the metal
that the gun is so we'll able to resist
the enormous strain due TO the detona
ton of the explosive.
1T is interesting to cite here some
figures published by Commandant Reg
nault. At each discharge of gun, in
the case of our field pieces, in less than
three-tenths Of a second the pressure
exceeds twenty tons to the square inch,
and the speed of the projectile leaving
the muzzle is more than $500 feet a
second
The energy developed may be put
at about 100000 foot pounds / In 9th
er words, considering the cannon as a
motor working during On exceedingly
short time, we may place its rating at
about 20000,000 horsepower
Not only must the metal be made to
resist these strains time after time but
to do so under unfavorable conditions.
such as the high temperatures produc-
ed by the explosives. And not only
must the metal Of the gun be as strong
us this, but it is the same with that of
the she'll The shell of our seventy
five supports a pressure estimated at
seventeen tons The work of the de-
vice that takes up the recoil reaches
about twelve tons to the square inch.
and the mount neutralizes at each dis
charge about two tons.
'In fact. these conditions are realiz-
ed in quite a remarkable way 1t has
been possible to test in the machine

fired several thousand shots and to
show that they have suffered not the
slightest reformation
