And whop the rubber ball athwart
The circumamblen; atmosphere
And keep the score for thirty dear
love to leap and soak the ball
And hear my partner madly call:
You yap That ball you went and tric
Was good for twenty feet outside."
/ love 10 serve-I dearly like
To see my first one outside strike
And then the second just the same
And double till we lose the game
| like to play that way, because
love to watch my partners Jaws.
That work so Hereby as he strives
To conjure up now ad-jcc-tyvcs.
It's great to realize that you
Have half of all the work to do
10 watch the score stand still at deuce
And near your partners blunt abuse;
And then to hear the side lines cry:
He let that easy one so by!"
Or when lofting stroke you've spelled,
TO hear them holler: Centre hcld!'
All, yes, love 10 play the game
Beside which tiddcwinks is tame;
love TO romp and leap and tear
To strike at balls and hit the air.

COAL MINERS MEET
OPERATORS TO-DAY
Will Confer on Radical De-
mands Made by Workers in
BituminOus Fields.

BUFFALO, Sept 25.-The first session
CT conference between the soft coal
operators and representatives of the
United Mine Workers of America, by
which 1t Is hoped to avert a general
strike in the coal mining industry, set
tentatively for November 1, will be held
tomorrow morning. The conference
will organize as a joint convention, and
will be attended by thirty-two mine
owners from Oklahoma, Illinois, Indi-
ana and Pennsylvania, headed by
Thomas ]. Brewster of st. Louis, and
thirty-two representatives Of the four
district organizations of the Mine Work
ers In the central competitive field, under
the leadership of John ]. Lewis, acting
president
The miners will present to the opera
tors the programme for wages and
working conditions formulated at q re-
cent meeting of their scale committee In
Cleveland providing for n fiat increase
in wages of go per cent, a six hour day,
a five day week. with time and half
for overtime and double time for Sun
days and holidays. At the outset the
miners and the operators seem far from
an agreement, prominent coal mine
owners declaring that the demands of
the union are too radical to permit of
acceptance. 1t is generally admitted
that an agreement will be reached only
after long negotiation, IL at all. What
ever agreement Is reached must be sub
mitted for ratification to an adjourned
meeting of the conven lion of the mine
workers, which will be held in Indianap-
oils.
The demands for the proposed changes
in wage scales and working conditions
will be presented to the operators with
a. l.. -,AJ a
general strike on November /. 1t is I'M
derstood that the first response of the
operators will be that the present wage
agreements run for duration of the war
or until April 1. 1920. IL the war be not
ended by that time, and that there Is
therefore no reason to put new wage
scale into effect on November I.
The thirty-two operators who will par
ticipate in the conference spent the en-
tire day in caucus. discussing the policy
10 be adopted in the face of the miners
programme. selecting their representa-
tives on the joint scale committee and
other committees and other preliminary
work of organization. For this reason
the joint conference did not set under
way to-day.
The first business tomorrow will be
the presentation of the miners Cleveland
programme. Mr.. Brewster said that the
operators would be ready with prompt
answer to the miners demand but in as
much as they had as yet no Official cog
n'zance of the Cleveland programme
they had decided to give no preliminary
statement OF their attitude or any of its
particular points.
other operators, however, indicated
that they considered the demands ex'
