AMATEUR NOTES

The J. J. Slppners were to have
played a game Of football yesterday
afternoon on the Loop grounds In Ben
wood. against the Riteheys. eaptained
by Bo.ze. the star 90 second baseHian
OF the Otto Fish Crescents. The Slipp-
ners were on the grounds at o'clock
and up to half past four. but the
Ritcheys failed 70 put in an appearance.
The practice OF arranging for a game
and then not showing up Is very
dishonorable one. and only cutters
indulge in such tactics, besides il helps
to keep spectators away where other
wise they would come and enjoy a game.
Fully $50 were sadly disappointed by
the action of the Ritcheys. Hereafter
no games will be played by the S.ipp-
ners against Bolze's Rltchey team or
any others who fail to keep an agree
ment, and it would be good idea II
other teams would follow the Slippners
example, and boycott all teams that
follow the Ritcheys made. Yesterday
afternoon Mr.. Victor Sauvageot. the
famous full, back. was elected captain Of
the Slippners by a unanimous vote.
Next. Sunday they will play either a
Bellaire or Moundsville tesm. Slipp-
ners line up as follows: Hillenbrand, C;

THREE LIVES LOST

CONNELLSVILLE. Pa. October 10
Three lives went out In little air
shaft, only two feet in diameter and
twenty feet deep, but flied with deadly
black damp, at the mines Of the Juniata
Coke Company near Juniataville to-day.
The dead are:
John Gilleland, a miner aged fifty
years, and his two sons, James and
Winfield, aged eleven and fifteen, re-
spectively All three bodies were res
cued by John Nicholson. mine foreman
al Juniatayille, and John Baker,
mine fire boss. were seriously overcome
by black damp. Near the home of the
Giilelands is a deserted air shaft. To-
day the two boys were playing around
the shaft, which is boarded up for
about two feet from the ground. James
climbed to the top, shouting to his
brother. Then he leaned over the top
of the shaft. A sudden gust of the
death fumes struck him and with
scream he fell forward into the pit.
His brother rushed to the top of the
shaft and started down a rickety ladder
that years ago served the miners with
many yards away, the elder Gilleland
saw his boys go down the shaft. Re-
alizing their danger. be rushed 10 the
pit, and regardless of his own safety,
hurried down the hole. by this time
number of other inmates of the house
hurried to the shaft. They went to the
top and peered in, but only faint groans
were heard. About half way down the
little shaft the body of the father had
lodged. His white face and glazing
eyes, turned up towards the light and
air, told that the gas had done its work
quickly and well. Like lightning the
news of the tragedy spread over the
farms of Dunbar and Franklin town
ships and in few hours the whole
countryside had focked to the scene Of
the deaths.

olson, mine foreman. who rugged up

wheat. in such way as to fan pure
air into the hole. Nicholson and John
Baker, who had for years worked be
side Gilleland. were then lowered into
the shaft with ropes around their bod
les. Gilleland's body was soon hoisted
to the top from where it had lodged,
and at the bottom were found the
bodies of the two boys, entwined in a
death embrace. After the dead came
the rescuers to the surface and as soon
they reached the pure air the terrible
effect Of the gas was evident and both
tainted Late tonight physicians say
the men are in serious condition.
Gilleland leaves wife and several chill

At Tampa, Florida. More Serious
Than Ever Yesterday.
TAMPA, Fla, October 13.--The la
Dor situation, thought to have been
practically settled early last week, is
more serious today than for some time.
District Attorney Stripping is here in
vestigating the recent deportation of
strike leaders and this fact has en-
boldened the members of Resistencia
Union men, who are still out. They
have been working hard to-day among
those who have not struck, with the
result that it is believed great many
will refuse to return to work to-mor-
row. They use the argument that the
government having ordered an investi-
CATION of the deportations, there will
be no further similar actions by the
citizens. Several union leaders, who
have been in hiding since August, ap-
