MINERS ON MARCH

STANWICK Ill, Aug. 24.-At this little crossroads village, a caravan of approximately 6,500 striking miners enroute to Frank lin County to force mine closing because of the new s5 day pay scale, met their first resistance.
 Fifty men under a Deputy Sher- tiff, armed with shotguns, revolvers and clubs halted the procession and told them they could go no further.
 The strikers retreated into a huddle conference and the depu- ties did likewise.
 Suddenly the deputies told the miners they could continue to Pickneyville, after word was re- ceived from Sheriff Albert c. Da- wis, who ordered the invaders be allowed to pass unmolested.
 The miners then moved on.

NEW YORK. July 20.-The greatest
problem facing base ball, in the opinion
OF John McGr&W. is the resurrection Of
the small minor leagues.
Back in 1899" the retired manager
Of the Giants remembered. the coEn-
try was swept with hard times and the
small minor leagues fell away by the
dozen. But they came back. They'll
do it again"
When you've gone as far with base
