FORTUNE BALLED UP
Manager Doyle pitted one OF the pest

the start of the fray. Fortune, for-

but he encountered greater offensive
power than he expected. and the home

Fortune knew what was happening. He

initial game it looks like the local bugs
are baseball hungry and anxious to see
what Motley has in stock. The second

staged at Fleetwood this afternoon, and
it is thought the attendance will at least
be doubled.

If Meeker serves on the mound,

ALTENBERG WITH LEAFS
Jesse Altenberg, who was with
the Barons three seasons ago, and
will be remembered by the local
fans as one of the speediest men
on the bases ever serving on
local club, is with Larry Doyle's
outfit. / ran across Jesse down on
the bench yesterday and was sur
prised to see him. He announced
that he had, just Joined the Toronto
two days ago, having been pur-
chased from the Reading club OF
the International league by Man
ager Doyle. Doyle thinks great
deal of Altenberg's ability but
didn't use him in the early part OF
the game Friday because OF the
fact that Whitehill was pitching,
and Doyle kept as many of his
left-hand hitters out of the line
up as possible.
rDAnrrArU OF MICHIGAN
The former Baron gardener tells
me that he has just completed
course at the University of Mi
chigan and got his dip. Unlike
most ball players, Altenberg con-
tinued his college course after he
had gone into baseball. Jesse is a
bright fellow and has written
number of fiction baseball yarns,
one of them appearing in recent
issue of the Sporting News.
RICK LOOKS OVER BOYS
Boss Rick woodward paid his
first visit to Fleetwood Friday
afternoon and looked at the work
of the men Moley has in tow. Mr..
Woodward admitted that it was
his first time out, but that he was
ball as ever. He failed to put on
his unie ard get in the pepper
game, however. When asked if
he'd take his usual workouts this
summer, he replied: Don't know.
It's a little early for a vet to
romp." Then looking at Moley
with smile, he continued: The
: old master here might ask waivers
on me, for all know"

calls. Brandon is just about
Rowdy's size, is quick as tiger

from behind the platter after the

Brandon to receive the offerings
of Pitcher Drake for the remain

The railroad strikes ordered for
last Sunday was called off and
Everybody is happy that there
will be no strike for the present.
However the arrangement
under which the strike was
called off settles no thing except
it is a slight gain for the Labor
Board. The men were striking
technically because of the IL per
cent reduction in wages. In
this the unions were in defiance
of the ruling of that Board. At
the same time 81 railroads had
violated the plain letter of the
law as we'll as the ruling of the
Labor Board. They did this by
putting into effect working condi-
tons without the matter having
been ruled upon by the Board.
Some think that these roads
have agreed to withdraw their
unauthorized actions and that all
will finally be settled by the
Board without strike. Let US
hope that such will be the case.
