Gathering Will, It Is Pre dicted, Do Nothing More Than Endorse the Present Miners' Representatives. A number of the local unions of tbo United Mine Workers have already elected delegates to the Pottsville con vention. All the delegates chosen are pledged to stand by the actiou of the executive boards of the organization and to endorse the district presidents, Messrs. Nlcholl9, Dettroy and Fahy, as the duly-authorized representatives of the miners to sit on the Conciliation Board. A prominent mine worker, discussing the situation, said: "To comply abso lutely with the operators' wishes would be an open admission that our interpre tation is wrong, and we could not do that in face of the fact that our conten tions are substantiated by Judge Gray and prominent newspapers throughout the country." When questioned as to whether an en dorsement of a delegate convention would be sufficient to warrant the ap proval of the miners' credentials, several of the mine officials replied in the affir mative, declaring that such action would meet expectations. One said that they only desired to place the miners' organi zation in a position so that it or any of its members could not ropudiato any deci sion that the Board of Conciliation might render. When the officials were asked If they feared trouble all replied In the nega tive, saying the provision in the award over which the dispute arose was merely technical. They do not believe, nor do the miners believe, a strike probable. However, it may be possible that the miners may ask for a suspension of work pending the acceptance or rejec tion of their conciliators' credentials. The fact that two of the representa tives of the operators on the Board of Conciliation, Messrs. Connell and War riner, have stated In Interviews that the election of District Presidents Fahy, Nicholls and Dettrey will be satisfactory to the men representing the operators on the board, is thought to be a sure in dication that the board will have no trouble In organizing and getting to work Immediately after the convention.

BASE BALL The Tigers played at Berwick on Sat urday, but failed to maintain the repu tation they made in that town some years ago for good ball playing, as they lost the game by a score of 13 to 6. V&nAken and Boyle were the battery for the Freeland team and the former pitched a good game. Poor support was rendered at critical times, which per mitted the Berwick boys to run up a large score. The Crescent Athletic Association last evening decided to organize a ball team for the season. Joseph Jacquot was chosen manager and Bernard Mc- Fadden will captain the team. A num ber of the prominent players of the town will be given positions and the as sociation expects to develop a first-class club. The new park will be plowed this weefk. Four innings were played at Jeddo yesterday by the Tigers and Hazleton Gloucester club. Rain then ended the game, the score of which was G to 3. The indications were that the Tigers would have had an easy victory had the game been played to the end. Rain spoiled a pretty contest at Park View yesterday afternoon, in which Drifton lead Audenrled by a score of 2 to 0. The elements put a stop to the game at the end of the third inning. An old-tmo game In which much amusement was furnished was played on the camp-fire grounds yesterday. The battery-work of Dusheck and Hart man was the feature. Passed Successfully.
