College Players Should Be Honest
 in Playing.
Chicago Mentor Says Sport Either Goes Completely on Professional Basis or 1t Remains Amateur
 Hits Other Sport

In a recent statement regarding summer baseball by college students, A. A. Stagg of Chicago says: "A com mon argument for allowing baseball players to play during the summer for hire is that it would e.,able many poor men to accumulate funds for their college education and also for their social and fraternity needs. Curiously, the point is continuously overlooked that no college students or would-be college students are denied that privilege now. No one denies the right of college students to earn just as much money as they are able through the use of their baseball abil- ity, and some are honest and honor able enough to openly take advantage of that right without expecting to play on their college team. But such men have no rights as college players under the rules of the Western Con- ference, and if they were true and honest men they would not steal them by cheating and Justification.

CARPET STRIKERS
 GO BACK TO WORK
Thompsonville Trouble Finally Over After 23 Weeks of
 Strife.

Thompsonville, Aug. 12.-Nearly all the Brussels weavers of the Bigelow- Hartford Carpet Co. have returned to work, but a few are still idle awaiting orders, and the fixing of their looms.
 A peculiar situation has arisen, as many of the returned weavers have no place to live, having been evidted from their homes by the carpet company. The houses vacated by them were let to other families.
 The strike has been a most costly affair for both sides, and was the most expensive labor fight ever waged here The cost of keeping fifty policemen from Hartford and surrounding towns for sev- eral weeks as deputy sheriffs cost the company a considerable sum.
 The eviction cases formed another costly item. The SOC persons out of wo.k lost nearly $5OO,000 in wages. The town charge account rose rapidly and it is estimated that the loss in population las Teen 1000. Within a few weeks the town is expected to return to nor1nalcy

BRISTOL MASONS TO
 ACCEPT WAGE CUT
Vote to Reduce Pay to $I an Hour Like Other Cities
 Have

Bristol, Aug. 12. - While there has been so much discussion throughout the state regarding the wages of tradesmen it was learned this week that the local mason union had voted to accept a re- duction in wages from SLIP 1-2 an hour to $1 an hour This was done, as ex- plained by member of the union, in order that the masons would concur in similar actions taken by various unions throughout the state, and to do their part toward reducing the high price of living. The masons were the highest paid tradesmen in the city, and there fore took the initiative ill accepting a reduction. The contractors, however, insisted that the SLIP 1-2 an hour was too much, and after a discussion, the union decided to accept a 12 1-2 cent reduction in their wages.
 No reduction was made by the car penters union, however, as their wage scale was 87 1-2 cents an hour

TOO MANY AND LESS

Former Spitbail King Comments
 on Pitching of Today.
Clubs in Big Show Carry Too Many Twirlers and They Do Not Re- ceive Sufficient Work-Bats-
 men Do Not Hit Harder.

Ed Walsh, once the spitball king of the big leagues, now manager of the Oneonta (N. Y.) semi-professionals, found time to comment on the base ball of today in the big shows as it strikes him. Along this line Walsh said:
 "The pitchers of today are not as effective as they were years ago, be cause the clubs carry too many hurl- CTS and the curvers do not receive sufficient work.
 "The batsmen of today are no bet ter than they were when I was in the big show, but are helped by new pitching rules and the use of Hvelier ball.
 Years ago In the major leagues" continued Walsh, "every pitcher worked in his turn every four or five days. As a result they retained con- trol. Now. there are many pitchers

PITCHERS FINALLY WIN

It has been a rule in baseball that the pitchers get the better of the batsmen in the end. It has always been so and is likely to be SD again. Handicaps have been imposed upon the pitchers again and again, but they finally Overcame them. Note the great number of 300 hitters nearly 20 years ago, when the pitchers box was put back to 50 feet from the plate and then see how the 300 hitters began to diminish in succeeding years.

ishment definitely suspended from
the practice Of law until further

GREW LITTLE ALFALFA SEED
Kansas This Year Produced Barely

The value of the alfalfa seed crop
is $411,00O. The estimated yield
was 27,600 acres, or an average of
2A bushels to the acre. Tire seed
is valued at about $6.65 a bushel as
1t comes from the thresher.

badly be one of the best things farm
