A. F. OF l. OPENS ANNUAL CONVENTION
Samuel Gompers Presides at Ses-
 sion in San Francisco

San Francesca, Nov. S.-Hundreds two million organized laboring men of the United States were here to- day at the opening session of the thirtyfifth annual convention of the American Federation of Labor which is to continue for two weeks. Samuel GOmpers, president of the organiza- tion, opened the convention. In ad- dition to the regular delegates, fra ternal delegates from Canada, Great Britain and possibly Japan will par ticipate in the deliberations of the convention.
 Session at Exposition.
 The opening session today was held in the California building at the Panama-Pacific Exposition
 The business to be transacted to- day was limited, includingf only the reports of the committee on creden- tlals, the appointment of various committees and the submission in printed form of the reports of the officers and members of the execu- tive couscil.
 Address of Welcome.
 LhC udy pIOSIdL 1uCluueu du- dresses of welcome by Gov. Johnson of California and Mayor Rolph of San Francisco.
 President Samuel Gompers pre- sented the report of the executive council which pronounced the year past the most momentous in the history of organized labor and one of extra ordinary stress for the labor movement, testing as it had its very existence.
 There is not country, and there is scarcely a relation in the common life," says the councils. report, that does not show some effect of the ter rible war that is being waged in Europe. From our present view point these effects are primarily de- structive. Whatever of constructive value shall come out of it all, will depend upon the wisdom, the ability and the statesmanship of the real statesmen of the nations. But at present we see customs, institutions. and the relationship that are the re- suit of years of struggle and persls- tent effort to realize ideals, swept away by the great tide of destruction and lost in the clash of arms, the smoke of the battlefield, and in the terrOrS of naval Warfare.'
 Hits Belligerents Actions.
 Describing the effects of the war upon organized labor and American customs and institutions, the report deals at length with attempts by in ,erests of belligerent European na- ions ito interfere with the peaceful pursuit of American industries. E.
 Some of these movements" it says, ."have been genuine, others nave been created by individuals and interests that were really unneutral. These movements have taken various forms; some have tried to influence the policies of the state and govern" mental auth critics of our country; others have tried to work upon pub- lie opinion and still others have sought to use the good name of our labor movement to further the in- terests of some foreign country"
 Lauds Working Men.
 High tribute was paid the work ing men of the nation through whose patriotism, the report says, these plans have perished and the move ments so far have been futile.
 "The efforts to use the working men of our country have been of two kinds,'' the report continues, lone to get through them the en-

 After admitting the soft impeach- ] ment and thanking you for the same, replied the Baseball Reporter, what happens to be eating your lung out new? What crazy bet nave you lost iately?"

 Not 3 to f--but-
 Anybody" said the B. R., "who bets to on any baseball proposition is crazy and deserves to lose. But in spite of that you still ought to win. for the situation is this
 The time for Detroit and Chicago to beat the Red Sox Was before July. For the first two months of the race Joe Wood couldn't lift an arm; Ray Collins was useless; Leonard was out of condition and Speaker was hitting around the size of his collar. And at that time they hadn't added Jack Barry to steady the infield."
 From Now Out
 '.In spite of all this Detroit and Chicago couldn't sprint into any safe lead. When Wood, Collins and Leon ard began to pick up, when Speaker started batting and Barry came to camp the Red Sox took about fifteen minutes on the road tc rush into the lead. On that last trip they won more games on the road than Chicago and Detroit could win at horne. They haven't been going any too fast since they got back, but they haven't had to. They're cut in front with better hall club than they have had all year. They've got fine pitching stan now a good run getting club and pretty husky all around machine. Since he came back Wood has won ten out of thirteen games and Leonard looked good enough the other cay to strike out Ty Cobb with the bases full
 The One Chance.
 The one club with chance to beat the Red Sox out as I figure it is De- troit And the only chance Detroit has is for Boston to get over-confident, to figure the race all in and st. .t loaf ing too long. If that happens and Detroit begins to get little better pitching, we may have Ty Cobb and Sam Crawford facing Alexander, Ma naux or Rudolph in the next world series. But if Boston losec this Ameri- can league pennant now---barring a lot of injuries she'll have to kick it away-using both feet for the purpose. For after this home stay she takes a short trip, comes back to Fenway park on September and stays there for twenty one games down the stretch finishing up with the Tanks in New York. She's got the lead-a good ball club and the rest of the schedule all |

 In the '. L
 What's the dope on the Nati6nal league racer queried the Morose Fanatic.
 "The dope on that race'' said the E. R.. twas blown up when Evere cracked an ankle and Bill James re- ported a leak in his right shoulder. There hasnt been any dope on that ;ace since, and I doubt if there will be until some club comes staggering in (. short nose ahead at the finish.
 The sable Equine.
 Just at present there are four clubs that might be labelled with a ce-Philadelphia. Brooklyn, Bos- ten and Pittsburg. The dope for some days past has favored Philadelpnia and Boston to fight out the closing stages of the stretch. And these two clubs won't finish very far apart, for the Phillieis will put up a terrlple sauawk before they surrender thelr lead, as the Giants did last year Therc'n be none of ths six straight stuff when the Braves cchhe along rot with Alexander manning the Bie Gun of the fort. N
 But for d flyer" continued the B R. If you want to back dark horse and can pick up the right odds there's Pittsbuhg."
 The Pirate Chance.
 "Pittsburg?'' asked the puzzled M E. where do you get that stuf I haven't heard them mentioned as an outside chance"
 which is one reason why I like Pittsburg," said the F. R. Nobody has given her a chance. She hatrf been figured. Yet there she is, after nearly four months piay, within A short step of the top-piking along holding her own and getting up speed at the proper moment.
 And you can figure this in also The Braves, Philiies and Dodgers spend most of their time now on the road. And none of. them nas beensany too good out of the range of home cooking But the Pirates stay a home this trip until August IT. Thtn they take g short jump eGst, wherf they have played we'll this seasons and then move back hcne on Septemt OCT 1. From that date they play 13 gsmes at Forbes Field--Ineetipg every club in the circuit on their own battle
 
 ground before they leave to finisF'up with St. Louis and Cincinnati.
 Down the stretch.
 Philadelphia has Alexander; Bc6a ton has Rudolph--but Pittsburg has Mamaux--one of the great young pitchers of the game. PittsDurg has been around the foot in team battsns. and she hasn't man on the club above .2S0. But she has the pitching, and bali players like Wagner viox and J Carey are soon due to go out and getX themselves some base hits. And Pitts burg hasn't had any streak all tneX year She has had nc long winning spurts like the Phillies, Dodgers afdU Braves. She has been merely shufflin6 cn her way. If she can stay within reach by September l with those 2s games at home-well. it's no doubls- coppered cinch that Philadelphia and Boston will be doing all the fighting | in the stretch.
