pIoyes' Union Presents Re.
vised Demands to the

the company would meet the de-
mands. AS last resource, he de-
clared a strike would be resorted to.
Mr.. Leussler said he had not read
the demands. THE men seem to
have taken a reasonable attitude,
however" he said, land have
agreed to confer with them in the
absence of Frank T. Hamilton, pres
ident of the company. The men
asked me to take the demands be-

company. The demands speak for
themselves, I suppose, but as /
have not read them, | can make no
comments"
In Form of Agreement.

with Mr.. Leussler. 1t consists of
four pages and is drawn in the form
of an agreement, to be signed by
officials of the company and heads
of the union, and covers a variety
of points.

the union within 80 days; for meet

DELAY TRIAL OF
CANDY man ON
MURDER CHARGE
Girl Named as Victim of Al
legged Plot Cries When
Complaint Against Tirro
Is Read.

Joseph Tirro, Italian candy mer,
chant, charged with conspiring to
murder Emma Household, II years
old, because she refused his love,
was arraigned yesterday in police
court on the charge but was granted
continuance of the hearing until
Friday.
Edward Stein, 1909 California
street, who barred the alleged muir
der plot to police, was included in
the arraignment yesterday.
STEMS arrest was necessary to
the prosecution of Tirro. He was
released shortly after being taken
into custory on a bond of $500.
Stein told police Tirro offered him
500 to kill the girl. He said in
structions were given him relative
to the disposal of the body.
Tirro yesterday said the case
was "frame-up." He declared
Stein loved the girl and wished to
put him out of the way.
The Household girl was in court
yesterday As the case was
called and Tirro approached the
judges bench, the girl shuddered
and turned away.
When the complaint charging
Tirro with conspiring to murder her
was read she burst into tears.
Tires acquaintance with her, &C
cording to the story she told police,
was purely a business one. She
said others had told her Tirro loved
her. She said she knew Stein only
by sight and had seen him only
when he called on Tirro at the lat
ter's candy shop, Seventeenth and
California streets.
The Household girl worked for

 The two men who have done the great est work for the Yankees have been Bob Shawkey and Jack Quinn. and no fan in the big town expected much from either Shawkey had been in the navy for long time. and it was feared he would not be able to get into pitching stride for many months after such a long layoff. Quinn is one of the oldest of old timers-rescued from minor leagues into which he was discarded years ago.
 Yet ShawlSey and Quinn together have won more games than all the other Yan- kee slabmen; they nave kept Miller Hug gins pet in the fight Without either the Tanks would now be in the second division instead of being discussed as pennant possibilities.

Unheralded Players Are Now Keeping Pennant Racers Up
Star Pitchers of the Reds Were Not Thought Much of at Beginning of Season-Ccotte Has Staged Remarkable Come -Back-Qunn Makes
 Good After Rescue
By JAMES J. coRnrarr

An odditoy concerning the 1919 pennant battling is the fact that the men who are really keeping five teams in the two clashes are those from whom little was expected; men who either were in the fledgling class, or were ranked as fad ing veterans when the season began. Reuther, Eller and Luque are young sters who were regarded at the outset of the year as little more than experiments. It wasn't hoped, by the most optimistic of Rhineland fans, that even two of this hurling trio would perform herculean chores. Yet fate has ruled that these three are big guns" in the remarkable attack which the Reds have made since April.
 But the Reds have had help from two other pitchers. Who are they? None other than Slim Sallee, discarded by the Giants. and supposedly "all through, and Ray Fisher, an old timer, who was let loose by the Yankees, and thought so little of around the American League circuit that he was waived right out of it.
 So it's three kids and two "old men" who have surprised the baseball world by their achievements in Red uniforms.
 Red" Causey is the real winning pitcher of the Giants-with Jess Barnes, another youngster, as runner up." Much was expected of Toney, Perritt, Benton and other seasoned New York slabmen. But Causey and Barnes have done most of the steam rolling of the opposition. Only the great work of this brace of youngsters has enabled the Gothamites to star in the race all the way. If both, or either, crumbles. it is likely that the pennant dreams of New York will be shattered.
 DUBUC STILL IN IT
 Who has been the Johnny on the job" twirler for the Giants in times when the regular moundsman has faltered be- fore the attack of the enemy? Who has gone out and saved one game after an- other when the starting pitcher was rout- ed by the attack of the opposition? Jean Dubuc, the old timer, from whom but little was expected. Jean Dubuc, another fellow regarded so lightly that he was waived out of Ban Johnson's circuit and went almost as a gift to the Giants.
 When the dopesters were figuring up the 1919 pennant prospects of the White Sox they gave almost no thought to the venerable Eddie Cicotte Why should they? Wasn't Cicotte nearing the 40-year mark? Hadn't he failed most miserabiy
