 Just 10 what extent the new and so- called "livcly baII' may be blamed for the hard hitting which some aver has become q giut on the baseball marts may now be determined. The pilCh CTS have cOntcndcd that they were hopc1cs~ly handicapped by the ruling which prohibited rubbin4 the ball on the grass or the ground, or even on their gloves or unilOrm The glossy cover, they COntcndcd, made it quite out of the question to put the right break on their curves and last balls, and therefore the hittcrs were able 10 pickle the ball with furious energy.
 The inticldcrS, joining in the gen eral controversy, declare that the ball is "rabbit," and that it is firting with broken fingers 10 play it on the grass with runners on the bases and one out. They have backed up the pitchers in declaring thai something should be done, and finally action has been taken

NO AID TO BABE RUTH

The lively ball aids Babe Ruth less than his rivals.
 Big Bam has the might to swat honerS without the aid of extra cork and rubber.
 He gets fewer good balls to hit at than the other Would-be long distance sWatterS.
 If he got his share, he'd be getting his one or possibly two sWats per day.
 Babe isn't getting a square deal. But, despite that, he is doing a fair business.
 And before the end of the year he ought to knock his record of 54 into a cooked hat-that is, unless they quit pitching to him altogether.

STRIKE SITUATION
REMAINS UNCHANGED

There has been no change what
ever regarding the strike situation
in the mines of this district. Over
lures toward settlement have been
made neither by the operators nor
the workers, and it Is evident that
none will be made for the present, at
least.
Report was current that the Des-
ert mill at Millers was to be started
up, but inquiry at the office of the
Tonopah Mining company ELECTED the
statement that it was news there.
All kinds of rumors gain circulation
concerning the situation, but when
traced down they are invariably
found to be without foundation.
A number of men brought in to
fill the places OF the miners who
walked out of the various properties
were taken by auto yesterday as far
as Nina The start was made from
in front OF the Eagles hall, and
transportation was provided for most
OF those who desired to leave Tono-
pah.
