All at tempts to persuade the striking coal miners in the mines of southeast Wales to return to work, pending the arbitration demands upon the mine owners have failed.

The conference will be re simed again on Monday. Pernoll vs. Roseburg are the words on the large display signs advertising the baseball game between Roseburg and Grants Pass tomorrow. -The Rose burg team consider themselves very fortunate In obtaining a chance to show what they can do against real lepgue ball pitchers end Intend to impress tl e fact upon the league managers that they have overlooked some real ball players. Pernoll, wlio is considered one of the best twlrlers on the coast was first taken from the bushes by Mc Credle and after pitching winning ball for the Beavers for a year, he was traded to Oakland where he served another year. He was then drafted by the Detroit team and aft er playing for two years was trans ferred to the San Francisco team. Caring this pitching for the Detroit NGLISHMEN team he made a record which is not very often equaled striking out 22 men in one nine inning game. He has had bad luck however, this yar as he had the misfortune to hurt his arm the first of the season. He was given a furlough by the San Francisco team and t he went to Grants Pass wlhere he owns a cigar store. His arm has now recovered from the injury and. he is playing with the Grants Pass team in order that lie may keep in condition and be ready when the coast league team will need him toward the close of the season when the race for the i pennant becomes cIobo. There has been much comment on tfre street of the fact inat Pernoll will not be rtTe to pitch good ball against the Roseburg team, as the Grants Pass catcher cannot holf the southpaw'B speedy twisters. But arrangements have been made by the southern Oregon boys for a former Northwestern League big mitt artist, who will catch for them at the game Sunday. Hargreaves will probably pitch for the Regulars, with Miller bdhlnd the bat. These two are a winning com bination and will no doubt have many of the Grants Pass team whiffing the air.

The prettiest ' selection ' rendered by the Yodlers was an eclio.song sung by the entire company. The two young men of the party are excellent commedlans and kept tihe audience in a gale of laugh- j ter by their antics.

Part of the wirlr Is given to the wives of men who have answered their country's call to the colors. The American ambassador's wife In this way is contributing to uhe support of these needy families.
