THREAT Of NALKOUT
FROM RAIL WORKERS

CHICAGO, June Claiming two
grievances-pay slashes and dis
obedience of railroads to orders of
the United States Railroad Labor
board-the railroad department of
the American Federation of Labor
prepared for a strike today.
Decision to send out strike bal
lots was made after Bert M. Jewell
served notice on the railroad board
that unless the carriers were made
to obey it's rules the unions would
no longer follow directions. Accord
ing to Jewell the men will certainly
vote in favor of a strike.
Delay in compilation of the minor
ity report by the labor members of
the board is all that withholds an
nouncement of another slash of $780,
100000 from the wages of railroad
employees by the railroad labor board,
1t was said unofficially today.
Details of the reduction affecting
100000 shop crafts employees have
been completed, it was said. This
cut which is to follow the $50,000,-
600 reduction in the wages of 100000
maintenance of way employees who
are threatening a strike as a result
will affect all blacksmiths, machin-
lists, boilermakers, sheet metal work
ers, electrical workers, carmen and
helpers in the services of the ma
TONS railroads.
The scale of reductions is said to
range from five to nine cents an
IL
impending decision by the board are
said to be the following:
Apprentices, five cents; helpers,
f1ve cents; mechanics, seven cents;
passenger carmen, seven cents;
freight carmen, nine cents.
ADMINISTRATION DOES
NOT FEAR WALKOUT
WASHINGTON, June 1.-Adminis-
tration leaders were confident TODAY
that the railroad workers affected by
the wage cuts ordered by the rail-
road labor board will not strike. They
regard the storm in railroad union
>circles as a gesture" to restrain the
board from ordering further cuts.
Officials argued there was no par
ticlllar significance in the prepara-
tons for a strike vote by the Broth
erhood Of Maintenance Of Way En-
ployes and Railway Shop Laborers
They even predict that the 100000
members of the brotherhood will vote
to reject the wage cut, equivalent
to an order to strike. They do not
believe, however, that the brother
hood officials will order a walkout.
This belief is based on the argument
that union leaders realize wage cuts
are inevitable accomplishments to the
downward adjustment Of railroad
rates and commodity prices.
The present agitation now is TO
discourage further wage slashes, off1-
Gals hold.
BROTHERHOODS' OFFICERS
TO MEET ON TUESDAY
CINCINNATI, June 1.-Edward H.
Fitzgerald, grand president of the
Brotherhood of Railway Clerks,
Freight Handlers, Express and Sta
ton Employees, announced today that
sixteen chiefs of the railroad broth
erhoods, and other executive officers
of the railroad unions will meet in
Cincinnati next Tuesday to take up
matters vital to the common welfare
of all railroad workers. Some forty
executives are expected to attend the
meeting.

Pitchers Are Getting
 Eaters Under Control

defeated pitcheru are picking up again.
 The home runs haven't faa1en away and lost their substance in the same ratio as the single base hits, yet thers Is difference of over 2S favoring 1921. a decrease that cannot wholly be accounted for on the theory that Ruth hasn't been hitting as many as he did. There are others.
 The three bags1rs have lost their opulence, and the two baggers have dwindled. As singles, two baggers. three baggers and home runs are all short of what they were one year ago there Is no course left but to admit that the pitchers arc getting their second wind and coming back into their own.
 New Crop of PitcAers
 T knew they would" said GeorEs Gibson. manager of the Pittsbur9 Pirates. today. When everybody got home run crazy and the baseball writ CTS were saying the game would be home runned to death. told them to wait little. There would be a new crop of pitchers coming along be- fore very soon, I suggested, and there owuld be a lot of old players who would not be able to bat as they did The lively ball was a good alibi for the pitchers who were slip ping. and they try to use it yet. but any experienced catcher who stood day after day and watched some of the pitching that was going up to the plate in 1921 knew mighty well why there was,so much batting In the big leagues"
 One afternoon in June, 1921, they made 194 base hits in the major leagues and on three afternoons they made 1S0. The biggest day they have had this season is 166. On four days only have the batters been able to get over 160.
 On four afternoons in 1921 the home runs went into double figures, single instance of double rigures in Is being the highest total. Not 1922. Once last season when June roses were at their best the batters busted 1s three Xbagers and 14 is their limit this year. Game after game was pitched in 1921 with base hits in double figures. They went as high as 25 for one team. This year game after game shows that the players can't get doubles for their total of base hits. There are plenty of sixes and sevens.

 New York, June 1.-The batters are being held in check. Careful in- vestigation of the work of the pitch- CTS, including the first half of June just finished. and comparison with the efforts of the pitchers in the first half of June, 1921. unmistakably shows that they have frightened their grip on the batters.
 There has been a lot of talk in re- gard to the batting. Some have said there was too much of 1t and the anti-home run brigade has snorted for season that home runs weren't what the fans went to see, yet the home runs have been going on until recently and the fans haven't re- mained away from the games when there was any big home run splurge being manifested. The ample -girthed home run king. who knows all about baseball golf and "hoses"-for he is cultivating a love now for the shiny coated equine--drew more folks than have been drawn to any two games this year and where there are no home runs going on there are not so many sitting in the seats of the curious.
 Make 1O9 Homers
 In the first half of June. 1921, both major leagues made approximately 109 home runs. 146 three baggers and 364 two baggers. Their base hits for single bases totaled accordingly. There were approximately 2.40o sim gles in 1921.
 In the first half of June, 1922, both major leagues made approximately 72 home runs, 100 three baggers. so5 two baggers and 1900 singles. The term Approximately is used be- , cause the official figures are in the possessio nof the leagues officials only. However, an approximation is quite as good as the official figures. because the difference between the official figures and the unofficial fig ures In a general total is insignifi- cant.
 Anybody can see that there is a nice. fat shrinkage in base hits as the years are compared. of some 500 In favor of 1921. if you prefer quantity. If it were only 20 it would be enough because 1t would show whither base ball drifts. To find that it is 500 is a staggering blow to those who have said that batting is increasing so heavily that it Is making baseball look absurb.
 Make Ruths Foolish
 At the rate that pitchers are again picking up on the batters 1t is only question of time before they will make the Ruths look foolish. Gone will be the days of the home run orgy. No longer will the sleek and shining athlete sit in his throne in the lobby of the hotel while his sub jects make obeissance and give him tips The es1nuech1 mnuuch abused and often | i Ruaseil ss sTSfwards a yyIts AZ rfss,.

 Former Baron Goes Good
 John Dewey Morrison has come into his own this year as q major , league pitcher and he stands third in the National league in the race for pitching honors. As member of the Pittsburg Pi- rates, John Dewey's famous curve ball has been instrumental in winning five games and los- ing but two. Only two pitchers are above him from a standpoint of wins and losses. These are Dutch Reuther and Shuffiin' Phil Douglas. Shufflin' Phil was A holdout the past spring, an& won out over McGraw In his arguments The wisdom of Mo- Graw's giving in to the Birming- ham boy Is seen in the fact that he has eight wins and two losses to his credit. Dutch Reuther, the Brooklyn hurler, and star of the Cincinnati team when that club grabbed off the pennant in 1919. seems to have been dis ciplined by Uncle Wifbert Robin son. Reuther was always one of the best pitchers in the game, but his habits were not the best in the world. This caused him to lose out in Rockville. but Uncle Wilbert has managed to make a new man out of Dutch.
 There are two good reasons why the Giants and St. Louis Browns arc leading the procession in the National and American leagues. The Giants are leading the league In percentages. be- cause they are ahead in team hitting and team fielding. Thy same thing may be said for the Brown machine. The Giants as machine. are hitting .312 and fielding .970. The Browns bat ting mark collectively is an even 200, and they are fielding .97s.
 Franks of Fate
 When Ty Cobb purchased Pitcher Johnson from the Coast league Pillette was thrown in as a bit of lagniappe. Johnson was the real star and Pillette was looked upon as a fill-in. Cobb ex- pected great things of Johnson. and wouldn't have been surprised to see Pillette fail to make good. Johnson was put out of the game early in the season with an injury. Pillette, however, kept coming and today he is leading the American league pitchers, having copped off eight victories and lost but two.
 Guy Morton, the Alabama Blos- som. las pulled a wonderful comeback this year, while pitch- ing for the Cleveland Indians. Guy has won six games and lost but three.

Emery, former Baron gardener. who was sold to Nashville at the start of the campaign. and whose loss was mourned by countless local fans, Is having much worse luck with the willow this year than last. Spoke is hitting only .275.
 Big Phil Morrison is the real leader of the loop. when it comes to pitching Moley's Big Bertha has 12 victories and but three losses for the season. He pitched one of his best games of the year Friday in an effort to make it. 13 wins, but luck went against him.
 old Dutch Cleanser
 Dutch Bernsen has been the big puzzle this season. As a Baron last year, he was one of the most dangerous men in the league. Getting into the Cracker livery he has been barely able to hit over the coveted mark. Dutch's average is only .305 for the season. The big puzzle, how ever, is his inability to repeat with komerun crashes. Last year he hung up new record for cir cult clouts in this league. To date he has but one limit smash to his credit.
 Some Comparisons
 Wouldn't Mobile have had the best catching staff ever pos sessed by minor league club had she held onto Art Pond. If the Bears had retained Pond, they would have two catchers who are topping the league in hitting. Bert Niehoff decided Schulte was the better catcher, so he let Pond go. Schulte is at the top of the circuit in hitting, with mark of 400. Pond, who was sent to New Orleans from Mobile, and who was later transferred to Memphis, is second in league hit- ting with .372 mark to his credit.
 Mobile. by the way, continues to lead the league in team hit ting with an average of 1903. The mighty slugging of the Bears has been responsible for their reten- ton of first for 8 greater part of the season.
 That Proposed Swap
 Some time back A. Jules Heina- mann, boss of the Pelican outfit, got some trading blood all clog ged up in his veins and he of- fered to make an even swap of outfielder Dan Tucker, sending him to the Nashville Vols in ex- change for Mike Burke. Nash vile turned up her nose at the offer.
 However, Tucker is clouting the ball at much faster clip than is Burke. Old Dan Tucker is hitting 1863 for the season and
