Among the other known contestants will be the Miss Minneapolis, the Hawkeyve, and a new craft being built i Detroit by C. Harold Wills. Among the probable arters are: The Tech Jr., owned by Colonel T. Ccleman Dupont, Commaodore James A. Pugh's new Disturber hydro and W. J. Connors‘ Buffalo Enquirer. It is expected that others will make a | bid for tb >1d cup and that about a cozen of - hydroplanes will start in the race. 1 Hawkeye, owned by cemmodore J. L. Judson, president of y» American Power Boad ociation, burned last yvear and did not com- pete but h been rebuilt. In a race at Put-in-Bay this season the Miss Minncapolis averaged 66.66 miles per hour. a new world Tecord. While the Miss Detroit we not forced to extend herself in winning the 1915 races at Manassett Bay in < t heats, her best time being 42.49 miles an hour, it is hardly prob- able that the defender can equal the world’s record holder's speed. the boat has been thorough- and the backers be- leve she can retain the trophy. The Wills boat will be a dark horse but it is expected to be among the fastest of the hydroplane type ever pro- auced. This craft will be driven by Johnny Milot with Jack Beebe a Techanic, the crew that piloted Miss Detroit last year. The course this vear from the spec- tato ndpoint will be ideal. Thirty-m heats will be raced each over the five mile course, laid on werican side of the Detroit in the channels between Belle city park and the American nd the boats will be visible from almost any point at all times.

Manager Joe Tinker of the Chicago National league baseball team an- nounced after yesterday’s game in Chicago that he had fined Heine Zim- merman, third baseman, $50. In the | fifth inning, Zimmerman made a single and the next man bunted. In- stead of stopping at second, Zimmer- man ran half-way to third, stopped, apd promptly was put out. Tinker was incensed and Zimmerman retort- ed to his arraignment angrily, it is said. The incident was reported to Presi- dent Weeghman, and he promptly as- serted that Zimmerman would not ap- pear in uniform again for at least ten day “I'm convinced that Zimmer- man isn't playing his best ball” Wgeghman added, “and he’ll either play his best for us or not at all.” HEIL VICTOR AT TRAPS.

They kicked if he did a thing, and then they kicked some more when he did it. New Haven shoestrings were continually untied and the game was held back for re- pairs on several occasions.

R R EXECUTIVE TS WILSON'S PLAN t | l and | | ment plan | Jules Kruttschnitt, chairman of \ i , ‘ \ | Calls It Spurious and Unfair to Employers ‘Washington, sons why R S X President Wilson’s settle- would not establish an eight-hour day, as most people under- stand it, were outlined last night by the Southern Pacific. The only result of the adoption of the Wilson plan, he points out, would be that the train service employes would work just as many hours as they do now, but at a much higher cost to the railroads. Mr. Kruttschnitt’s analysis of the V son plan, which he calls “spurious, explains some of the most important features of the controversy that are i not generally understood by the pub- | | | fore, |an eight-hour day. i adoption of the i dorsed by President Wil lic. His statement says: ‘It is not true that the railways are holding out against an eight-hour day in train service. What they would say if asked to grant a genuine eight-hour day in train service nobody can now say, but, all assertions to the contrary notwithstanding, the train employes have not demanded a day requiring eight hours’ work; there- acceptance by us of President Wilson’s proposal would not establish The result would be that trainmen would work just as many hours as they now do, butgat a much higher cost to the railroads. “There are several reasons why the men’s plan, as in- on, would not 1 eight-hour day. he men wagces be based exclusive but both on miles and demand that eight or less, shall be paid for as a day the existing ten hours or establish s First— ask that hours, hours.

Their trains have speci- fled runs, and the number of hours employes are on duty depends now, and would depend hereafter, on the time required to make their runs. The sole difference between existing and proposed arrangements would be that overtime would begin two hours ear- lier, with a corresponding increase in operating expenses. “Third—Nothing in the proposed ar- rangement requires the men to work Detective | | than ' Genuine { mileage THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1918 COLUMBIA Grafonolas and Double-Disc Rec $15.00 COME in any time during this week and next and get one of our STYLE GRAFONOLAS We are running special terms this week and next, ANY GRAFONOLA ON TRIAL FREE. ye stock of records to pick from.

Under the proposed arrange- ment all these men would continue to work less than eight hours for a day's wage. The companies would pay gen- uine money for a counterfeit day, ! known to be such when tendered. “Fourth—In brief, the plan of the men contemplates that all men who now more than eight hours a day shall receive a day’s pay for the first eight and overtime for all addi- tional hours, but that none of those who now work, less than eight hours should be required to give the com- panies any additio: ervice.

On the other hand, if more than eight hours were gon- sumed in running 100 miles the ex- cess hours must be paid for at a rate of fifty per cent. higher than the r ular rate per hour. “Sixth—The question at once arises: | If the wage per hour after eight | hours were increased fif ¥y per cent., eight while thou le wage, | 3 $50.00 LATEST for your home.

They believe its adoption would unduly favor a class who are now the highest paid workingmen in America, and place an unreasonable burden on the railways, and an un- reasonable burden of increased rates on the public, which ultimately would } have to pay the bill. There can be no | jal or economical justification for a basis of wages which would men in train service to earn ¥'s wage for an average of much than eight hours’ work.

ROBINS' TWIRLERS BUNPED BY CUBS Uncle Wilbert Trots Out Three But It Was No Use Chicago, Aug. 24.—The Cubs did the same thing to three Brooklyn pitchers yesterday that the Robins put over on the local twirlers Tuesday, and the home team U {wm h Wheezer Dell was the first of the Dodgers’ staff to have his fling. After the Cubs pounded him to the extent of five hits, and scored four times, Uncle Robbie yelled “enough,” and Wheezer went to the bench. Larry Cheney was next summoned and survived until the opening of the fifth inning. During his incumbency the Cubs picked up two more hits and three additional counters, bringing the tots up to seven. Sherrod Smith batted for Cheney in the fifth. When the fifth opened Uncle Robbie trotted out Appleton, the right-hand- er, whom Colonel Ebbets esteemed too valuable to be handed to the Cubs in a deal for Heinie Zimmerman. Be that as it may, the Cubs were sub- issive during Appleton’s tenure of while they ucceeded in a trio of hits, they failed to push across a tally.
