Ten Years and Now.

When Fielder Jones launched his Browns, neck deep in seventh place, for their latest drive he must have in- dulged himself in a dream that wan dered back ten years.
 For it was just ten summers ago that Jones started his White SOX from seventh place toward the pennant.
 For the first three months of the flag ensemble no one had figured the White Sox at all. They were down next to the foot, Hopping along With a club batting average of 219.
 And then something happened. Be- fore they were checked the SoX had won nineteen straight games and were leading the league.
 So. being in seventh place failed to worry Colonel Jones. He had been there before late in July, only to win a world championship In October. And if the trick was not impossible then it is not impossible now. The leader and the ball club that refuses to quit in seventh place is not to be treated with any great amount of con- tumely or scorn.

| It was announced from the head l quarters of the four big railway 1 brotherhoods in the Broadway Gen. tral hotel New York, that the stcond wage and hour conference with the national conference committee of
 the railways would begin August 8 in
 the Engineering Societies building in
 West Thirty ninth street, New York.
 The first conference broke up June
 4 in disagreement. The counting of
 more than half of the 100000 strike
 ballots recently cast by railroad em-
 ployees revealed that there is no
 longer any question that the brother
 hood heads will go into the second conference with the power of calling a national railway strike. It was said that more than 90 per cent of the ballots were in favor of a strike. The largest percentage in favor of a 1 strike was cast by the railroad men ! of the south, of whom it was said 99h per cent. thus went on record War ren s. Stone, grand chief engineer of ! the Brotherhood of Locomotive Enh gineers, is one of the most prominent { of the leaders of the union railroad men.
