The Lobsters thank Mr. Stanley for today's game, and outside -of his .gift pre-enta-tion in the "fourth inning, pitched splen did ball. Stanley's undoing .came in the fourth inning when lie handed the locals three runs that, put a crimp in the score so far as the Re Birds were concerned. Devlin, the first man up, was' invisible to the Red Bird twirler and he; trans ported him tj first. Sebring .was pre inted with a base- in e same, liberal manner. Then Davy Crockett swatted out a hit and the bases were full. Lit tle was expected of Thackara, but he yielded large returns. His hit scored both Devlin and Sebring. Warren ?tung " the ball to Hennegar, who cut him, off at first, but the long-limbed Crockett strode across the plate. Stan ly retired , the next two "men, but' th.s Jamage had already been done. The Red Birds scored their 'Jonssoma '.ally in the fourth. Sorber popped up a 4y to short. Curran beat the air in : rain. Sjniith singled and scored on Bill "D" LeGrande's beautiful drive for two bases. ".Venable retired ;tne side by fan ning. ' " - ' Oriental fielding gave the Lobsters mother tally in the eighlu.

While their error column has an ,amateuristv appearance these had little to do with the run get ting. The base running of the visitors could be called anything but bril'iant. Several times the Bed Birds started off with two men on bases, but that was the best they could-do. KALEIGH. AB. R.. H. PO. A. It. 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 II . 1 i) h 1 2 i o l E.

They sailed fifteen' miles to sea, windward, and returned. "The wind was southwest, about eight nliles an hour.. At the start the Columbia outpointed the Constitution, and got half- a mile to windward of the new boat. She seemed to be footing just as .fast as, the Con. stitution. ; The official time of -the start was: Co lumbia. 11:40:34; Constitution, 11:40:37.

The Constittttlpn's gain was clue to Captain Rhodes giving the new. b.oat a good full, while Captain Barr kept the Columbia pinched up close and continued tn nt ont to weather.

All the union men employed in the mills of the American Sheet Steel Co., are out today, in com pliance with the order issued Saturday by Mr. Shaffer; president of the Amal gamated Association and ratified by the adyisary board Saturday. ; This marks" the beginning of the stiuggle between union labor and the United States Steel Company. The Rat tle could 'not be averted. Men familiar with the situation knew this weeks ago, when both sides were predicting peace, as they were ' aware of the fact, tat. peace could not come without the sur render of principles either by the union or the' trust. The majority of the United States Steel Company's plants are operated by non-union men, ana when the Amalgamated Association ae nianded the recognition of their union and the signing of their scale for all of the plants, the much talked of harmo nious gelations of . the trusts and the union ended suddenly A compromise seems out of the' aues tion, and unless one can be arranged tHe strike will be the most serious on in years , as the Amalgamated Associa tion will go into the battle to fight far its .xistence. The W. DeWees Wood mill, at McKeesport, shut down today. It was at this'plant that the first trou ble between the union anu the trust, oc curred, and when a . small strike" there in the spring was compromised it was claimed that the Amalgamated Associa tion . had scored a sweeping . .victorf; when as a matter of fact neither side cared about fighting over minor differ ences when they knew -they would have I cause for a serious conflict at the ex piration of the, old scale. .
