FOR AMERICAN LEAGUE FLAG.

CLEVELAND, O., Apr. 16.-There will
be six powerful teams in the American
league pennart drive in the opinion of Lee
Foil, manager of the Cleveland club.
Clevelend, he believes, will be among the
six. Foil does not think that Washington
and Philadelphia will cut much figure.
making predictions as to how the
teams will finish is not in my line and this
is one year in which it would be foolish
for me to start anything Foil said. u
think, however. that it will be one of the
hardest fought campaigns in the history
of the league.
my reason for believing that Cleve-
land will be in the race is because the team
looks so much stronger than a year ago.

who j. inclined to doubt the truth Of this

sion Of a country estate at Noroton, Conn.

sum Is said to represent the amounts paid
TO the the Irish Caruso in the past few

addition, the singer is said to possess an
other hundred thousand or so that has
been paid him by the American public with

that soon won him recognition.

.y Cobb Will Leave
Golf Sticks Alone

DETROIT, April 16.-Ty Cobb will de-
vote his entire energies to baseball this
season and leave his golf sticks alone un
til autumn.
Cobb, like many ball players, believes
that golf does not seriously affect a ball
players work, but that il does remove the
edge from his batting ability. Then, too,
he argues, that a ball player has more than
enough exercise during the season and that
tramping over a golf course is apt TO make
overturned.

Chicago market widened Saturday
when a jury in Judge Humphreys
court brought in a verdict of guilty
for ten small capitalists and four la
Dor union officials.
The ten small capitalists are the
heads Of the Chicago Switchboard
assn and were in conspiracy with the
four labor men to shut out from Chi
cagO territory electrical construction
all appliances not union made.
The verdict last week is the final
action by which the conspiracy is
broken and the way made clear for
the nOn-uniOn electrical appliances
of the Commonwealth Edison, West
inghOuse, and General Electric to be
sold and installed without interior
ence from the electrical workers
union. These are the guilty:
Michael J. ("Umbrella Mike')
Boyle, former business agent of
Local No. 134, Electrical Workers
union.
Raymond Cleary, assistant to
Boyle
&. l.. Hampton, former business
agent Of the same local.
Frank A. Landmark, former bust
ness agent of Local No. 713.
The individual manufacturers are:
John CuthbeTt, Cuthbert Electrical
and Manufacturing Co.
Charles KreideT, Kohler Bros.
Warren E. Ripple, J. Lang Electric
Co.
Otis B. Duncan, same company.
Julian J. Nelson, States Electric
Co.
James ObermilleT, same company.

Co.
They are subject to fines Of $4,000
each and one year Imprisonment or

IKE BOYLE NAILED
the J. Lang Electric Co., the States
Electric Co., and the Electric APP
paratus Co.
THE impression has gone out that
the prosecution was aimed only at
the labor grafters involved in this
case, said U. S. Asst Dist Atty AL
bert Hopkins. That is wrong. Both
labor men and electrical contractors
have been convicted of conspiracy
to boycott and establish a monopoly
in restraint OF trade and in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law.
If it had been the Commonwealth
Edison Co. or the Westinghouse or
the General Electric in a similar con-
spiracy we would have taken the
same course. The verdict of guilty
involves both forces Of capital as well
as labor"
The boycott was organized in
April, 1911, when the contractors and
labor men came to sign new agree
ments. Contractors said they
couldn't meet the new wage increase
asked by the labor men unless some
way could be found to close the Chi
cagO market to all switch boards and
panels that 'didn't have the union
brand.
Mike BOyle's conviction is the SEN
satiOn of the day. He has been a
dominating figure in the electrical
workers union and though often &C
cused Of unfair methods today is the
first time his business connections,
his organization and his influence
failed to get him an acquittal. His
personal real estate holdings are
valued at 100000 which is some
handy bunch of property to earn as
a labor business agent. or in real
estate speculation.
