QUIGLEY'S FREE SHOT
 DEFEATS GOLD DIGGERS
Wins Third Overtime Game From Providence In Extra Period-Goal Tender Conley Nearly
 Gives Up From Cracks Received

A short time later Con1ey stopped the ball with his head. This was on a drive from Williams, who hits them with considerable strength and again the goal tender was confused, but he recovered himself and continued. In the second period Pierce shot 3 goal past the legs of Lovegreen, but the ball was going with such speed Williams caged the ball in the sec- ond period and kept the Marathoners in the game on a fine pass from Null Hgan, who had the tendency to shoo them at Williams with such speed that it was impossible to do anything with the ball.
 During the third period Pierce got one into the cage and it rolled out again, while Mulligan had two of these kind. Of course they didn't count but they went to show just how the ball was rolling for the teams.
 conley was given another crack in ball in the direction of the cage. but it was lifted and struck the goal tend CT on the shoulder, putting him out Of the play for a while. The game was delayed temporarily. Pierce his shoe in this period and this checked him somewhat in his efforts. The summary:

SKINNED the cream from the min
ing industry and gave very little
in return. The Guggenheims so
arranged matters that the entire
mining industry from the big op-
Grating company to the little les
see had to pay them tribute. They
grew as greedy and demanded
more than the industry could
stand. AS a result the industry
has been stagnant.
Fair railroad and smelling rates
are vital factors to the prosperity
of the industry. Rich ore bodies
can stand the dishonest rates of a
money-grabbing trust, but when
the bonanza values are exhausted
it is necessary to get down to a
fair business basis. The smelter
trust has sapped the life blood
from the mining industry. Fair
treatment for the ore producer
can again put the industry on it's
feet. The Guggenheims have been
tried and found wanting. A
change in the management of the

company is no guarantee that past
unfair practices will be eliminated
