series. Benz is unreliable and isn't
needed. Wolfgang has been an eter-
nal puzzle to the Cubs, but may not
be used.
The game was a warm affair. 1t
was full of good playing and furnish
ed excitement every step of the way.
But the fans did not show the usual
interest. There hasn't been a nicer
day for baseball all season. Yet only
1880 persons watched the proceed
ings, 1920 fewer than attended the
first game last year.
Even the roofing of those present
was not on a par with what has hap
pened in the past. There were no
arguments worthy of note in the
stands and little betting on the out
come of this individual game.
Now that the American league sea-
son is over, the deposing of Manager
Rowland has begun by the dopesters.
This merry pastime will not get its
full impetus until the city series is
out of the way, but the early birds
are wasting no time.
John McGraW did not come near
the ball park in Brooklyn yesterday
while his Giants were licking the
Dodgers. Evidently the Little Ma
poleon had not cooled off after his
anger of the previous day, when he
accused hic men of refusing to obey
signals, to the profit of the people
across the. bridge.
Garry Hermann said McGraw was
making himself foolish by talking as
he did. President Tener of the Ma
tional league said McGraw's attitude
was childish, and officials of the New
York club protested to be astounded
at the statements of the manager.
Some of the players he criticised
were wroth and demanded the pilot
retract his statements.
All of which cranked up the rumor

lie had right to be. By liberal use
of cash and some lucky develop
ments, he had the hardest hitting
team that ever represented Chicago
in the American league. He had the
best catcher in baseball and COM
petent pitching. But these factors
didn't make a winning combination.
Where the blame lies is something
every one is free to guess on.
, Baserunning, or the lack of it, was
the great fault of the 1916 SOX, and
among a set of men that combined
better than the average speed with
as much intelligence as the ordinary
ball club boasts. Some of the
coaching of these runners was, as
tragcally ludicrOus as anything ever
seen on ball field. 1t was much i'm
proved after Kid Gleason came to
the team.
Now, while McGraw is being talked
of as a, White Sox manager, observe
what Ban Johnson has to say of the
McGFaw muddle in New York: "Such
a statement is an outrage. If such
a situation had arisen in the Ameri-
can league somebody would suffer
for it." -.

FRANK :YA|L|ESA,

LEADER, IS DEAD

Grafton of Labor, and it's first presl-
dent, died last week at Minneap.
oils hospital. Mr.. Valesh was on his
way to New Mexico for the benefit
of his health, and while passing
through Minneapolis was taken sud-
denly worse. He passed away during
the day at st. Mary's hospital. The
funeral was held from his home in
Graceville, Thursday and was attend
ed by a large number Of people.
Frank Valesh was born in Bohe-
mia, near prague, 81 years ago. He
came to this country with his par
ents at the age of 8 years. They set
tied in st. Paul. and young Frank
was given a job in a cigar factory
where he learned his trade. Imme-
diately after he became a Journey
man he joined the Cigarmakers'
union. Then began his rise in the
labor movement. He was during his
time the most noted trade union lead
er in Minnesota.
In 1888 he organized the State
Eight-Hour league, the object of
which was to create a public senti-
ment for the eight-hour day. Later
in 1890 he organized the State Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, and became it's first
president. serving with distinction
from 1890 to 1892 when he resigned
to become deputy labor commission
er. His name is closely identified
with early labor movements of Min
nesota. Through his untiring efforts
the first factory laws were enacted by
the Minnesota legislature.
Mr.. Valesh remained active in the
movement until 1897 when he re-
moved to Graceville where he en-
gagged in the cigar business. He at
tended several conventions of the
American Federation of Labor and
was closely identified with Samuel
Gompers, also cigarmaker. His life
long friend in the labor movement
was Thomas F. Tracy, who died. just
few days before. He was a staunch
trade-unionist and adhered strictly to
the philosophy of the movement.
/ Mr.. Valesh was welded to Eva Nc
Donald, famous during her day as a
speaker and writer for organized la
Dor, and now active in social welfare

of Graceville, and the aged mother.

WIN DEMANDS

NORFOLK, Va, Nov. 1.-THE
craftsmen employed in the navy yard
refused to work overtime. They had
been working seven hours a day.
They were requested to work three
additional hours at the same rate of
pay received for the seven hours. The
men objected to pursuing such a
course and when the seven hour
limit had been reached ceased work.
The manager in charge reduced
wages 80 per cent when he learned
of the action of the men. When that
became known the men refused to re-
turn to work. The matter was then
referred, as the manager said, to the
secretary of the navy department.
Negotiations followed and in a short
time the trouble was adjusted by
Noval Constructor Watt agreeing to
concede the just demands of the
craftsmen. While the dispute was
pending. the machinists notified Mr..
Watt that they would refuse to
handle any blue prints drawn by new
men while the dispute was pending.

PATTERN MAKERS
W||NCLOSED:>
SHOP FIGHT

DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 17.-Oa
February l all the job pattern shops
in the city opened an attack on the
Pattern Makers union, assisted y y a
number of other employers, who had
banded themselves together for the
purpose of destroying all the unions.
The battle was inaugurated because
the pattern makers made a demand
for eight hours and minimum of IS
cents per hour. The struggle was Bit
terly: contested. In order to weaken
the strikers the employers applied to
the courts and demanded and secured
injunctions, making it almost prohibi-
tive for the strikers to do any active
work that would in any way hamper
the employment of strikebreakears
or strengthen their position. Many of
the strikers were thrown into prison
for violating the. injunctions and ex-
penses were piling. up on the en-
ployers. They finally discovered it
was becoming an expensive luxury
they had not anticipated: When the
situation became very unpleasant for
them, they invited the strike leaders
AAlO a COuACIc1Co lot inc purpose OF
learning whether they were willing to
obey the injunctions and cease picket
ing. It was soon discovered that the
conference had been called for an
entirely different purpose, and it was
not long before the employers began
to intimate that there might be a
way Of ending the strike. Before the
termination of the meeting an un-
derstanding had been reached. Each
side promised to lay the plan before
the association they were represent
ing. and the result was that it proved
acceptable. The ratification carried
with it the eight-hour day and the
same wage rate the men had been
getting for the longer hours.

instance the endless litigation became
rather expensive for some of the
manufacturers and there were no re-
suits.

Boiling has a wife and two children.
He worked for the company seven
years and was also paid 80 cents an

impossible to provide properly for his

Although the police and officials of

the charge.
