POLICE ARREST PIcKETS FOR
"REFUSING TO MOVE"

REfUSlNG U MOVE
Unfair police methods already
mark the strike of girl garment
workers at the factory of Steinberg
& Sopkin, S43 w. Adams St., where
90sgirls are on strike because they
allege that the firm, after signing an
agreement to advance their wages,
refused to live up to it.
Mary Anderson, organizer of the
Women's Trade Union league; Miss
Fannie Cohen, organizer of Ladies
Garment Workers, and nine Of the
girl strikers were arrested yesterday
afternoon as they picketed the fac
tory and were hauled to the Des-
PLANES st. police station, where they
were charged with refusing to
move" though they claim they were
walking up and down.
Miss Anderson was standing a
block away from the factory when
the arrests were made. A girl fed
from policeman; he chased her. She
ran to Miss Anderson and the cop
took both of them to the wagon.
The police swooped down on the
girl pickets just before time to let
the scab workers out of the shop.
Mrs. Leonore q. Meder, learning
of the arrest, notified Mrs. Maude
Lindley, 1858 Jackson blvd, and re-
quested her to furnish bonds to get
the strikers and labor leaders out.
Taking her tax receipts, Mrs. Lind
ley fastened to the Desplaines st.
station, arriving there before
o'clock.
The desk sergeant looked over the
tax receipts slowly; then he handed
them back.
"They won't do" he said. You'll
have to get your deeds and abstracts
before l decide whether you can go
on the bonds of the people"

M'GRAW WANTS TO
BE BOSS OF SOX

Boston, Oct. $50 far as is known
the national commission has not had
q meeting since the members arrived
here, which Is taken as an indication
that everything is not serene in the
supreme court of baseball. President
Johnson's caustic comments on the
McGraw affair apparently have been
taken to heart by Tener. and the two
have not been seen together here, ex-
cept where they happened to meet mu-
tual friends in the hotel lobby.
In this connection friends Of John
McGraw are boosting the latter for
the managership Of the White Sox. as
McGraw is soured on the Giants and
their owners. However this shift
would be next to impossible as Presi-
dent Hempstead of the New York Ma.
tionals absolutely refuses to even con.
slider the transfer, and as McGraw's
contract Is not up until year from
now Hampstead holds the whip hand.
McGraw would like to take charge Of
the Comiskey team. but he himself has
told intimate~friends that 1t is impos.
sible for him to get away. II IL also
understood that Ban Johnson Is unal
terably opposed to McGraw's entrance
into the American league and this IN
also likely to cut big figure.

TINKER THROUGH?
WHO COMES NEXT?

Chicago, Oct. S.-HaS Joe Tinker
made his last appearance as pilot Of
the Cub forces? This question crowd
ed on the heels of the North Siders in
their utter rout before the White Sox
in the city series that was decided in
four straight victories for the Ameri.
can leagliers. That the disposal of the
one.time star shortstop has already
been discussed by the numerous stock
holders OF Weeghman's club is well
known. Moreover, there is q hint 60.
ing around the inner circles that Jack
Hendricks, who has made q success
of several minor league teams, is Stat
ed to try his hand at the position that
has been Inflated since the retirement
of Frank Chance in 1912.
The change, whether or not it will
be made in the Anal decision, is pro-
posed BY the stockholders because
they figure Tinker has been a failure.
The total eclipse Of the Cubs in their
efforts against the strong Chicago
Americans was their last straw with
many men who are backing the club.
They have not stopped to consider that
Tinker's ball team on the whole hard
ly classes with Connie Mack's make
shift Athletics. All they know is that
Tinker finished poor also-ran in the
flag race and they deem shift neces-
sary.
The naming of Hendricks in con-
nection with the north side managerial
role Is not surprising. Several times
in the past this former Chicagoan. who
enjoyed pronounced successes with
the Denver and Indianapolis teams,
was mentioned for the post. Several
years ago when such deal was about
ready to be put over Hendricks with
drew because Of his leanings toward
Jimmy Mc0ill, who was the club own
er at Denver. and later at the Hoosier
capital. BY this time McGill probably
will be willing to let Hendricks show
his worth in the big tent.

OSTEOPATHS TRIM.
PARSONS PLAYERS

Fairfield. Oct. 9.-special-The Par
sons college football team took one
of the worst defeats In the history OF
the college Saturday afternoon when
the American School Of Osteopathy
walked OF with the long end Of 81
to score. The Parsons team was
outweighed and outclassed at every
turn and. although the men we're
fighting every minute until the last
whistle. they we're unable to stop the
fierce rushes OF the Missourians. Time
and again did the Parsons backs try
to break through the stonewall line
OF their opponents but were nearly
always downed back Of their own
scrimmage line
The game started with a rush, Par
sons kicking to the osteopaths. After
only few minutes Of play, the doc
tors went across for the first touch
down. The Parsons bunch appeared
to be completely up IN the air and al
lowed their opponents to secure two
more touchdowns before the end of
the quarter.
In the second quarter, Parsons
came back strong and held their enc
mics scoreless. For time it looked
|as though the thiyd quarter would al
so be scoreless. but one OF the Kinks
vile team intercepted forward pass
and went across for the fourth touch
down. From then on the game was
in the hands of the Osteopaths and
they scored apparently at will. At no
time was their goal in danger
The Parsons men we're greatly hand
icapped by the number OF substitutes
which were played against them. o.
teopaths appeared on the field with
twenty-six men and these were all
played at various stages Of the game.

The Osteopaths appeared to have no
particular star. although the puntine

them going from seventy-fve to eighty
yards. For Parsons, Flinchpah was
