structing strikers and pickets in their
duty and persuading men on their way
to work TO turn back and join in the
strike. Early reports indicated that
hundreds of men We're turned back in
various communities.

made, was given to men who determined
to go to work, the streets, and roads
leading to the mills in every steel com.
munity, in the Monongahela Allegheny
and Ohio Valleys being patrolled by
armed guards.

NEW ORLEANS PELS HERE

The New Orleans Pelicans, champions
Of the Southern In 1918 and the pace
settlers this season, are In town for Il
-four day stay.
This is the team that nearly every
manager in the league say must be
beaten for the pennant and 1t is one
that all the fans want to see in action.
The Pellcans have more players that
are better known TO the fans than any
other team and they also have some
whose regulations preceded them TO this
league.
For instance, Johnnie Dobbs Is claim
ing that when the seven-man rule
knocked the bottom out of his 1913 ma
chine he signed the two best class b
men that have been brought into the
league In Shortstop Daubert and Out
fielder Daniels. Daubert looks TO be
the best young infielder IN the league.
while Daniels IL one of the swiftest
men on the paths and is, besides. a
pretty fair pitcher. He IL n Of the
few southpaw spitballists in captivity,
John l., Sullivan, left fielder. who Ia
leading the team in batting, Is another
importation who has proved to be a
star in every sense Of the word. Sui

class A ball, And when the time came
to cut down to seven class A men Man
aEer Dobbs let 40 good a man as Kitch-
ems go in order to hold on to Sullivan,
who has made the New Orleans fans
forget all about Pete Compton, their
star left fielder of last season.
Others Of note on the team are Hub

ers; Torkelson, who is said to be the
funniest nan In the league on the
coaching line and a bear in the box

There Is a preacher. pitcher with

pitcher In the league. His name Is
Frank l%ankenau. He Is a Lutheran,

breaches now In a Lutheran mission
In New Orleans.
Lankenau Is a very smart young
man, While studying for the MIN
lstry he also reaches Latin and
American literature. He Is IN.
doubtedly the best educated and
most scholarly player In the league,
and he looks the part, for he wears
spectao|es while pitching and has
been called a ringer for Lee
Meadows, the bespectacled ST. Louis
twtrler.
This Is Lankenau's first year as a
professional, but he has pitched COL
lege ball for some time, and last
winter was the star pitcher OF the
semlpro league OF New Orleans. He
went to the same Lutheran college
that turned out two other good ball
players--Carey, OF tho Pittsburgh
Nationals, and Wambsaanss, OF the
Cleveland Americans.
Lankenau pitches on Sundays the
same as on other days; In fact, he
has pitched more games on Sunday
than on week days. Several times
he has pitched a ball game on a
