George Guevara may start on the

not eligible to play with the team.

on account of working on Saturdays.
Franklin will have stiff opposition

hits savagely and is the leading
4slugger9 on the team. Cummins is
also a sweet hitter, meets the bali
squarely and drives the horsehide
almost out of the lot when he steps
up to the plate These two players
will be used in the clean up role'
this saturday and can be expected
to show their wares against Gu

GENERAL STRIKE
OF COAL MINERS
THREATENSAPR |

INDIANAPOLIS, March 23 (P.-7With
the denouement of the coal drama all
most at hand, silence cloaks the head
quarters of the United Mine Work 1ers
here. Officials today declined to COM
ment on the possibility of strike in
the industry after March 81 On that
date the wage agreement between
union operators and miners of the BIZ
luminous fields will expire. All efforts
to effect a general settlement of diff
ferences have failed.
John L. Lewis, president of the
miners. had nothing to say" to all
queries as to what progress had been
made toward temporary agreements in
districts outside the central compete
tive field, where, in the event of a
walkout, the miners would establish
strike headquarters, and what will be
considered by the miners policy COM
mittee when it meets here March 2S.
1t is known that efforts have been
made outside of Indiana Illinois, Ohio
and Western Pennsylvania to bring
about tentative agreement pending
permanent settlement. The extent of
these separate agreements, it is known,
will govern the final decision of the
policy committee, upon whose shoul-
ders rests The responsibility of direct
ing union affairs should walkoutR be
called 1t is believed that if an appre-
ciabIe number of districts outside the
central competitive field report oper-
ators in their territory willing to con-
tinue temporarily the present wage
scale a strike will be declared in the
central field alone.
This would affect 100000 miners in
Indiana, Illinois, Ohio and western
Pennsylvania. There are approximately
1885, 900 union miners in the outlying
districts.
If, however, the outlying districts
report failure to negotiate agreements,
general strike of bituminous workers
on April l is inevitable, it is believed.
Operators of Iowa and Illinois met
today and those of Indiana assemble
tomorrow at Terre Haute. 1t has been
unofficially reported that Indiana oper-
ators will consider a separate agree
ment, but spokesman for the mine
owners would not discuss tomorrow's s
meeting. Should strike be called, it
is considered probable, basing the de-
duetion chiefly on precedent, that it
would be directed from some eastern
city. Representatives of the miners
union have been in Pittsburgh the past
few days, and this gives credence to
the belief that the city may be the
seat of the policy committees activi-
ties. Ss
Philadelphia and Washington also
have been mentioned.
The policy committee is made up of
two representatives from each of the
% bituminous districts and the inter
national officers.

 GAME WAS ROUGH
 The College game was rough with much holding and charging especial ly on the part of Smith and Ted Lof- tus. Loftus was very lucky shooting. Smith is a good man but notwhat had been expected. Shaw is the best Col lege player, very clean and a fine fel- low. Boswell is captain and Mac Donald, who was a sub last year, is a guard with Boswell
 Captain Bath stated after the game that Leslie was certainly sur prise to all of us and I expect to see him keep up the remarkable stride he started out with last night"
