pitching Of Kerr, were held to three

send Eddie Cicotte to the mound in
an effort to even up the series. CT
cote was bombarded heavily in the
opener at Cincinnati Wednesday AMI

"Cicotte was not right at Cincin-
natl. but have every confidence in
his ability to give the Reds a beat

THE Reds are not invincible. They
can be stopped. We proved that to-
day. Losing the first two games
stirred my players to a fighting pitch.
Well come right back at the Rels

belligerent mood when they reached
their dressing rooms after the game.
They said today's victory would be

ANALYSIS OF
PITCHERS WORK

Chicago. Oct. S.-JuSt how good a
pitcher Dick Kerr was in today's
game of the Worlds Series was DEM
onstrated by the analysis of balls,
strikes, grounders. flies and fouls.
Although he pitched half an inning
more than his Cincinnati opponents
Kerr threw only one more pitch than
Fisher and Luque combined, the to-
tails being 95 for the Chicago twirler
against 81 for Fisher and IL for the
Cuban.
Kerr allowed only three hits while
his team mates got all seven of
theirs off Fisher; he gave one base
on balls against two by Fisher and
had four strike outs as compared
with none by Fisher and one by
Luque. The Havana importation
famed Leibold, the first man to face
him. missing one low and on the
inside.
Kerr served So strikes, to by
Luque and % by Fisher. He failed
to catch tse umpire's eye with corner
balls 80 times while Fisher HAD u
bad ones called and Luque six.
Each team hit eight flies. the White
Sox popping most Of theirs off Fish
er's early inning speed. Two of these
came in the first inning and three
in the third. In the last four inn
ings only one Chicago batter hit the
bali in the air whereas half of Gin
cinnati's skiers were recorded in
that period.
Fisher had two bad innings. being
; forced to throw 20 times in the Sec
Ond inning and Is in the sixth In
the second he dished up seven strikes,
an equal number of balls, one pitch
was hit over the infield and the 9TH
er five were driven sharply across
the diamond. The Chicago sluggers
hit only three Of the Is balls pitched
!. in the sixth. one being fly and the
other two fouls. There were seven
strikes and eight balls in that inn
!! ing.
Kerr's greatest effort was expended
in the fifth inning, when he served
up three strikes and six balls and
was found for four grounders, one
of which went safe. His easiest inn
ing was the second when he disposed
of the Reds on eight pitched balls.

LOCAL STRIKE
Mason Tenders Ask for
$500 a Day
Walk. Out Affects Considerable Work
in UneompIeted State in City
Second Demand Made Within Year

A strike of mason tenders of Au-
gusta and Hallowell, about Is n
number, was begun Thursday MORN
ing and the situation looks serious
for all the contract work now under
way in masonry is required. The
mason tenders union is affiliated with
the Building and Trades Council
which also includes the masons. car
penters, painters, plumbers and cleo
tricians. and thus the work in all CT
these branches was hung up on jobs
requiring any mason work. This in
cludes the contract work under way
on the new wing of the Augusta Gen.
eral hospital. and the Blaine mansion
in this city and the new high school
building in Hallowell, as we'll as sew
eral other Jobs.
The disagreement is on the matter
Of wages. the mason tenders demand
ing a raise from $40 for an eight
hour day to $3.50 for the eight-hour
day.
Just how far reaching will be the
predict, but it is hoped that the
Building and Trades Council will
take up the matter at it's regular
meeting on Monday evening and
bring it to a settlement
In conversation with a contractor,
the Journal man was informed that
there is feeling which seems quite
general that the mason ten
ders have taken a wrong step
in striking at this time. The con-
tractor stated that this is the Sec
ond time within q year that the ma
son tenders have asked for higher
wages. the raise from $3.50 a day to
$40 q day having been granted with.
in period Of IL months. 1t was
stated that in Waterville the mason
tenders are getting $3.50 and 81 a day,
and in Bangor they are getting "a a
day, and in those cities they do not
claim to have Jurisdiction over any
digging operations, as they do in this
city.
