make good-which is not t" be thought
OF for the moment-he can play sub

They called him the Babe Ruth Of

with Jack Dunn for long time. but
Dunn because he was well paid for
his services. The bubble OF fame had
no great attraction for him.
Mexican dollar earned in the Inter
national League went as far as one
earned in bigger league.
Lon association with the Inter-
national and with the scenery along
the route finally palled on him. He
got so that he knew every sign on
the railroads whether for spawned
pitchers or decadent teeth, and he
sought L respite. SO he told Dunn
one day that he wanted a change OF
signs and asked that he be passed
along TO some team in a major
market for Bentley and opened the
door t" the offers of the men who
carry dollars in their bootlegs.
Reds Made big Bid.
Cincinnati had made bid of sew
eral thousand for him. One day last
fall the manager of the Cincinnati
team saw Bentley. 1t was given out
after he had looked upon him that
Cincinnati did not want him. because
lie lacked promise.
Later the New York club purcha sed
him. Again Cincinnati said that 1t
was not in the market for him. where

from the Cincinnati club in which it
was i'll evidence that Cincinnati had

The Reds appear to have been dis
tanc.d in the transaction for the
player and after a second good squint
at him the innocent outsider may be
forgiven for thinking that it would
have ben good idea for Cincinnati
had it gone higher.
You see. it is this way. New York is
not one whit weaker than last sea-
son and probably four or FIVE viii 5
stronger. 1t is not going To be an easy
task to head New York off. no easier

How the calf did run. The locomo-

of the mounted boy by slowing down.
The calf, running neck and neck
with the train. was turned aside and
the boy saluted the engineer.
The Giants look as if they arc like

Trouble that has been brewing at the cigar factory of B. Plotkin at I3o Whalley avenue for several weeks came to climax in what the cigar makers call lockout this week and the declaration by MT. Plotkin that hereafter he would manufacture his cigars by machinery and non-union help To add to the gayety of the occasion, Mr. P1otkin sent the cigar makers tools to them at Trades Coun- cil hall as they were gathering to go after them in body in response to an order by MT P1otkin to remove their tools Saturday last
 On Nov. I2, Mr. Plotkin removed a stove from the room used by shippers and they complained of the cold According to the shippers, MT. Plotkin became abusive when com p1aint was made and then gave orders that the shippers carry up their own tobacco III large sacks and that in stead of day work they would be on piece work on the halliday Saturday
 The girls protested and MT. Plot kin went to Washington and had Jacob Taxelar, United States De- partment of Labor conciiiator sent here and then complaint was made of lile SdtHldEy anu lOiiCI COuditiOnS HI the plant The conciliator could not adjust the trouble, so Mir. Plotkin went to Washington again and had the American Federation of Labor send on Frank Mccarthy to inter vene, the shippers being affiliated di- rect with the Federation. Mccarthy ant Tezeiar tried ta get Mr. plotkin to meet them and committee at a local hotel, but he refused
 Meantime the cigarmakers had been thrown out of work because there was no tobacco on hand while the girls were idle. They intervened and finally MT. PIotkin, it is stated, agreed to sign an agreement made through the conciliators efforts and designated his foreman to act for
