the underground railway disaster
which occurred here Monday night
The accident, which occurred on the
Metropolitan electric railway assumed
the proportions of an awful catas-

bodies of the burned and suffocated
victims were removed from the suDter-

At the Mouth of the Tunnel.
The scenes at the mou'h of the tun-
mel, where the victims we're brought
forth, were of the most heartrending
description-Crowds of weeping men,
women and children struggling for
missing relatives and friends Most of
the victims are from the middle and
working classes, as the trains were
carrying them home from their work.
Although the accident occurred at
eight O'Clock Monday evening, the Of

early Tuesday morning, 10 descend in

clouds of smoke from the burning

by heroic volunteers, whom it was
necessary to rescue, hGlf-suffocated,
and carry away to the hospitals.

At ten minutes after three o'clock
Sergt Ahrens, wearing n respirator,

remained seven minutes. and brought

world, and Charley Seiger of New
Jersey are all ready for their match
which takes place at Mechanics pa
wilton. San Francisco. tonight. The
greatest interest prevails.
Both men are in great shape for
the match, Britt in all his training
bouts has practiced along "mixcy"
line, for he knows he is up a.t,inst

order. He has been roughing it for

he rather likes that sort of lighting
His ankle hothers him no more and
he says he was never more fit in his
life. But ]. Edward realizes he is
up against tough proposition and
has never trained so thoroughly II

is always in superb condition.
Easterncrs who have seen both
these boys in the ring find it hard

Charlie Seiger, the New Jersey Iror
Man. is in fine fettle for his contest
Seiger has been through n long course
of training and he is anxious to have
it over with. The Italian never train
ed SO long and so faithfully for d
contest and he says that he never
was 50 hard as he is now. In the
east lighters do not train 50 long for
contest When they come out here
they train systematically for bout
and the result is that they go into
the ring in better shape to stand a
long gruelling contest than they do
at home. Dope on the relative show

step into Britt regardless of what
the Californian sends his way. In
the mix-ups Seiger Is savage and eff
fective. He is fully as good body
fighter as Britt and can piod away
while the other man will get tired.
If Britt is the Kind of man they say
he is you will see another on the same

Patton Discusses the
Bowling Methods
Now In Use

Much discussion has arisen lately
over the respective merits of the
curved or straight ball in bowling
and. although the curved ball advo-
Gates seem to have a little the best
OF the argument. the straight. cross
alley ball has many followers.
The question was put up to Man
ager Owney ]. Patton of the, Occur
6Alene club today and he gives the
following as what he has learned
from a practical study OF the propo-
Oition of curved and straight balls.
Patton. 1t must be remembered, IN
one of the best bowlers or the city
and his opinion as to the merits Of
the two styles of bowling is valu-
able.
"For my part" said he. II prefer
q slightly curved ball--that Is, one
>that starts to curve Immediately II
6trikes the alley. but with curve
% slight that it is barely perceptible,
I have made a close study of the
fhin matter and find by constant prac-
tice on the different balls that the
wide curve in too hard to control
With speed back Of II. There Is no
use talking. but it requires speed to
bowl successfully. OF course. 1t ID
possible to use too much of this, but
I'm the main it Is the rorce in the ball
that makes the high scores. To roll
q curve ball-one that is curve and
q wide curve at that-force can not
be put into the ball to cause 1t to
strike the pins in such a manner
as will get the bunch. For instance,
one of these slow, wide curves will
hit the kick pin and the force Is not
enough TO carry the ball without it's
swerving on its course as the. result
Of the contact. On the other hand. a
slightly curved ball can be given the
force necessary to carry 1t through
The pins with sufficient speed so that
when 1t strikes the center pins IT is
changed but slightly in it's course and
gets the strikes.
'"There are also many advocates of
the straight ball--I use II myself
across the alley. This ball is almost
as good as the slightly curved one
and 1t also has many advocates who
are as successful with it as with the
curved one.
''There Is another ball that, when
It Is controlled, is very valuable
but of all those known on the alleys
1t Is the most difficult. Lots of times
player will use 1t and think the ball
has slipped from his hand and that
1t will get no pins, He is surprised
at the result, for often it gets the
bunch with a cleanness that is sur
prising That might be called the
slip or slide ball. To roll it one must
have a firm grip and start 1t with a
following force from the long finger.
This causes 1t to slide or slip part
way down the alley without turning
and when the after force which was
given when it left the player takes
hold 1t gives 1t n momentum even
greater than when it first left the
hand. In other words the ball is half
way down the alley before it RECEIVERS
itself. When this bali can be con-
trolled it is unequalled almost"
