“Y” Cubs vs. Cony 2nd.
Friday Evening at “Y”
Physical Director It. M. Sanborn
of the Y. M. C. A. says that a rip
! roaring zip-bang game of basketball
will be played in the “Y” gymna
j sium on Friday evening of this week
| between his Cubs and the Cony High
j School 2nd team. Last Friday eve
| ning these two teams met at the
| Cony Assembly hall where the
! school boys defeated the Cubs by the
! close margin of 22 to 18. This time
the Cubs think the result will bo a
different story, different from a
Cony point of view. The lads have
been putting in a lot of practice late
| ly and are out to win with the larg
! est possible score.
The East side aggregation, how
ever, claim that they have little to
i fear from their opponents and are
-resting comfortably certain under
*that impression. The contest should
be mighty interesting and well worth
witnessing. The whistle will blow;
at 8 o’clock.

Mclnnis Now Only
Red Sox Hold-Out
Boston, March 23.—Interest in the
P.ed Sox at their Hot Springs training
camp lies largely in the holdouts rath
er than in the activities of the team,
despatches received today indicate.
Sammy Vick, who has been unahie to
come to terms with his new manage
ment after transfer from the Yankees,
lias joined the club at last. He has
yet to talk terms with President
l-'razee. Ad Valters, catcher, also re
ported to Manager Duffy today. Mud
dy Ruel, the catcher who was trans
ferred from New York with .Vick, is
reported to have agreed to revised
terms, and Tim Hendryx has signed up
at a price said to be highed than last
year.
With the exception of Stuffy Me
iness, who at his home in Manchester
today said he had not changed his po
sition, all the holdouts are now in the
training fold or headed there. Everett
Scott, captain and shortstop of the
team, who holds the major league rec
ord tor continuous play, has had added
to his strained muscle troubles of re
cent days an infected lip that may re
quire an operation.

BASEBALL NOTES
Adolph Pierotte, a youthful recruit
from the Mission League of Califor
nia, pitched the full nine innings for
the St. Louis Nationals against Beau
mont of the Texas League Tuesday,
when the Cardinals won 6 to 1. It
was the first time this season a mem
ber of Manager Itickcy’s staff has
gone the entire distance.
Earl Sith, St. Louis third baseman,
is out of the game with a sore eye
and the veteran Jimmy Austin is
back on the job, a dispatch satd Wed
nesday.
The schedule of homeward bound
practise games for the Cubs began
Wednesday with games against Ver
non and Loa Angeles. Sunday the
regular squad will leave for Sacra
mento and turn east.
The White Sox regulars played the
Waxahachie, Texas, High school
Wednesday, and then go to Wichita
Falls. Tex., for three games, accord
ing to dispatches. The selection of
Eddie Mulligan for third base on the
regulars is taken to indicate that the
formy Salt Lake infielder is to get
the regular berth there this summer.
Word was received Wednesday
from Tampa, the Senators’ training
camp, that President Griffith had
closed a deal for the purchase of
Bobby Lnmotte and Debe Foss, in
fioldcrs. from tho Tampa club. A
cash consideration and Albert Eseh
mann and Herbert McHugh were
given in exchange. Griffith obtained
an option on Lamotto and Foss last
fall and had until April 1 to complete
tlie deal.
Max Carey, star outfielder of the
Pittsburgh Nationals, has been added
to the sick list at the Hot Springs
training camp of the -Pirates. His
trouble was caused by a close hair
cut, which caused an infection of tlie
scalp. He has left camp for St. Louis
where he will be under care of a
specialist.
Manager Moran of the Cincinnati
Nationals plans to send some of his
recruits home when the team leaves
Cisco Friday for its barnstorming
trio through Texas and Oklahoma,
according to reports from the train
ing camp. Among those to go are
said to be First Baseman Felix, In
fielders Scbirmer and Shafer, and
Outfielder Dawson. All of these play
ers have shown real promise and will
be farmed out to minor league clubs
for more experience. Dennis Williams
will be retained as utility outfielder.
Harry Froze**, owner of the Boston
Bed Sox is to take a ten year lease of
McKee field at Whittington Park,
Hot Springs, Ark., where his team is
now in spring training, according to
despatches received here. The weath
er at Hot Springs is described as
ideal and the players are rapidly get
ting into excellent condition.
Bath Turf Prospects
A local horseman was saying the
other day that there isabsolutely no
reason why there cannot be some good
turf racin ghere during the summer
and fall. There are at least a dozen
fast horses owned in Bath and with
the necessary pep the owners would
become interested enough to start
I something. All that seems to be hold
j ing the summer and fall race business
i back is lack of enthusiasm and an
j unwillingness to supply what funds are
I necessary to keep the thing going.
During the winter there were some
| high clasjr. ice races. Why wait for
| another winter to come before letting
the fast ones out and furnishing a
whole lot of sport for the community.

(Continued from Pago One)
decisions thereunder (except as here
in modified) shall remain in effect
until September 15, 1921 at which
time the agreement and all awards
thereunder and supplements and re
newals thereof and understandings
connected therewith shall absolutely
terminate.
“Fourth: Judge Samuel Alschuler,
or his successor, as administrator,
s hall until said date retain and ex
ercise all of the jurisdiction and
atuhority heretofore existing and the
employers and the employes shall
abide by his decisions in all matters
of jurisdiction and power under the
administration, and all subjects of
hours, wages, conditions and adjust
ments thereof excepting as herein be
fore set out. The employers and em
ployes shall, however, be permitted to
put into opertion plans whereby they
may develop a method to handle be
tween themselves all matters of mu
tual interest so long as they do not
interefero with the administration.
“Fifth: Any questions relating to
hours or wages submitted to the ad
ministrator during the continuance
of the agreement shall be submitted
on written briefs, unless otherwise
requested by the administrator."
The employes named a sixth pro
visi(On which read as-follows:
"Sixth: We understand and ap
preciate that this agreement con
templates and covers the exigencies
and conditions at this time in the
packing houses within the Alschuler
administration -without relation to
industrial conditions or wages gen
erally.”
Messrs. Condon and Meyer made
the following’ statement after this
announcement of the agreement:
“After several conferences with
Secretary Davis, Secretary Hoover
and Secretary Wallace we have
agreed with Secretary Davis to a
[ definite termination of the war-time
| labor agreement. This will enable
: tIle packers to contemplate plans ul
| ready announced to adjust between
I themselves and their employes all
i matters of mutual interest.”
! Representatives of both sides were
; understood tonight to have accepted
: an invitation of Secretary Davis to
1 meet President Harding at the
White House tomorrow'.
During the entire three days of
the conferences, the representatives
of the two sides faced each other in
joint session but twice, on Monday
when each side stated its case, and
late today when the final terms were
signed. It is understood that at the
last moment there was a threat of
further discussion, but Secretary
Davis is said to have exclaimed:
"What's the use of arguing. Sign.”
The two sets of representatives
.thereupon affixed their signatures.
! Secretaries Hoover and Wallace
took no active part in the almost
continuous separate conference be
tween Secretary Davis and the rep
resentatives of each side following
Monday’s joint conference, but it is
understood conclusions which they
reached after hearing the state
ments by both sides Monday had
considerable bearing on shaping (he
final, settlement.
i "The agreement which we signed
today is but a truce for us to pre
pare war,” said Mr. Brennan in his
statement. "If. after September 15,
the packers maintain the attitude
they have shown in the past and re
fuse to deal with their employes in
fair adjustment of differences, there
will be a serious industrial strike.
“We agreed to a wage reduction
only because of the strong pressure
brought by the government. Our
attitude from the first completely
won Secretaries Davis, Hoover and
Wallace. I want to say that in the
| past I have never considered Her
bert Hoover friendly toward labor,
but T was gratified at the way in
which he grasped the justice of our
claims. He showed a remarkable
knowledge of industrial principles
and an accurate acquaintance with
economic conditions. He got the
gist of the whole matter quickly and
when ’he realized that the question
of recognition of the unions was
not an issue he Was entirely con
verted to our side. I believe, in
pressing a settlement. Mr. Wallace
also contributed valuable assistance
with his knowledge of the problems
of the cattle industry.”
The agreement today marked the
third successful settlement by the
department of labor of controversies
in the packing industry, all of which
settlements have been closely linked
by virtual continuation of agree
ments made in the first settlement
in December 1017.
