Ray BumDed Again

Tom Ray appears to be the cham pion hardlucker when it comes to boils and miShaps on the field. Sporting a black eye as the result of being hit by a bounding ball the other day, mis- fortune overlook him again yesterday, but he gamely stuck to his post. In the eighth inning Pennoyer hit a sig zler to Rays territory. As Ray was getting in position in an effort to field the ball it took an ugly bound, bump ing his kneecap. The ball defected . to Kingdom who succeeded in throw ing Pennoyer out at first base, rob bing the visiting shortstop out of a. hit Ray rolled over on his back and limped around in pain for several minutes, but continued in the game
 Rice, successor to Howie Baker on third base showed fast stuff, and ac- cording to the opinion voiced by fans Baker will not be missed in the Al bany lineup. Rice is a heady player and handles himself well. At the bat he hit long single to right and flew to the outfield twice. one being a sac rifice hit

 When Louis Bennett went to the box in the ninth inning he had a win Tn sight, the score standing 2Sand 1 in AfoanyS favor. But Bennett faltered and caused the merry chatter of Pat OFConnOr to cease. For starter he passed Smith and Kingdom Then came infield hits by Loftus and Me IaughHn which scored the tying and winning runs with not a man. out
 The result came quickly and was a pig surprise for the faithful rooters headed by Sammy Desser, Joe Smith Louis Bogash and others. Even Off, cial Scorer Frank Nolan, who tum bles into the pit of gloom whenever the opposing team scores a run, took on a new lease of life and ventured the prediction: ''I think we have a chance to win tomorrow"
 Albany scored her two runs in the fifth after Bornhoeft had pitched su- perb ball for five innings. In the sixth he weakened and filled the bases with a pair of passes and an infield hit. He was succeeded by Lefty LePard at that critical stage and two runs resulted. The Lawmakers only negotiated a single safety during the remainder of the game.
 The fans were kept on the border of enthusiasm by splashes of brilliant playing. In the fourth inning Dam eron and Rice were robbed of hits by sensational catches by Emmerich and Loftus. In the ninth round Loftus shone again clutching Payne'S fly af- ter a great sprint

Heaven witness the honesty and sincerity OF their

From the American point of view the most sig
n6cant thing is the which has come fresh from
both Berlin and Paris the effect that the United
States will be asked to mediate in the reparations
dispute According report this mediation would
take place in Washington, but.-accordng to another,
the determination of Gemanys capacity to pay would
be left to commission of neutrals headed by the
United States who would conduct an investigation OF
German conditions. 1t is argued that the Germans
would willingly accept the findings OF such a

German estmaes-than the findings OF allied experts
There are many reasons for believing that American
participation in the settlement of this indemnity proo

certain of the allies who finding the sanctions now

According to this agreement said to have been signed

Italy is granted important concessions in Turkey in
return for which she agrees to withdraw all Italian

British Industrial Crisis.

After a week of negotiations in which the British
government mine owners and leaders of the miners,
railway and transport workers have participated,
agreement has been reached and Great Britain is
faced with the greatest crisis in her industrial
history. The strike of the three most powerful of
British labor unions which had been postponed and
which it was hoped might be aveIted by negotiations
has now been declared. In addition to the 100000
miners. 100000 railway and the 100000 transport
workers directly concerned in the wakou it is esti-
mated that some 100000 persons will be thrown out
of employment by the strike.
The first made by Lloyd George to bring
about settlement of the controversy was an invita-
tion the to meet the owners and representa-
tives Of the government in conference at which he
stipulated agreement regarding pumping and the
preservation OF the mines should be made before any
other question entered upon. After twice refusing
to enter a conference in which discussions in any
way restricted the labor leaders finally agreed to meet
the and the government without conditions.
They also agreed that there should be interference
with volunteer bumpers. AS preliminary to this con-
ference which held Monday, the strike of the
triple alliance was scheduled for Tuesday and
postponed pending result Of negotiations. At subse-
quent conference on Tuesday the government an
nounced its opinion that standardized scale on
a national basis might be arranged and that 1t might
be willing to give financial assistance to the industry
for short time either by loan otherwise, to mti-
gate the rapid reduction of wages. Mr. Lloyd George
announced however that the national pool of profits
proposed by the minsrs impractcable and un-
acceptable to both the owners and the government
These proposals rejected by the miners on the
ground that without the pool wages standardized ac
cording to average ability would result in forcing the
poor mines discontinue production while the better
mines paying only average wages would aford greatly
increased profits to the owners.
The refusal of all parties to the controversy to
make any concession regarding the question OF the
pool of profits was followed by meeting of the ex-
ccutive of the triple alliance. at which it was decided
to call national strike beginning at 10 o'clock Friday
night During the of negotiations the govern
ment through the premier in the house Of commons
and the labor leaders by manfestos have endeavored
20 win the support of public opinion by exhaustive
statements of their positions The leaders of the triple
alliance have declared that the fight they are waging
