ent game that won him the coast cham
pionship last year and defeated Gard
ner about as he pleased. The score
was 6-4, 6-1.
The match between Charles Foley
and George James was a much better
contest. James appears TO have struck
a winning streak again and 1t would
be difficult to say where it will end.
He played up to his form of the pre-
yious Saturday. and after the first set
clearly outplayed his opponent
The first set was the closest and most
interesting of the three. Foley won it
by a narrow margin after James had
led at Al. In the second and third
sets James was at the net almost con-
stantly and to this fact he owes his
victory. Foley stayed back on service,
and as James followed in on his service
he was at the net most of the time.
The second set was close, Foley again
drawing up after poor start but James
won the third easily. The score was
6-S, ga. 6-2.

Big Crowd Attends
the Races at the
Meadows
BY j. r. Jeffery

SEATTLE. June 29.-Opening day at
the Meadows attracted an attendance
Of 1000, including a large proportion
OF women. whose presence lent gaiety
and briIIiancy 70 the occasion. The
crowd was considerably bigger than
on the opening day last season. Twen-
ty-three bookmakers, besides field and
combination books. cut in. as against
nine last year, breaking all local rec
ords in this respect. Speculation was
not sufficiently heavy for so many lay
ers and a decrease is likely at the next
cut in. Only one favorite was success
ful, but the layers made no money,
most Of them breaking even.
In spite Of the heavy condition Of the
track. following last nights rain. the
racing was good, four finishes being
close. The track is full of bad spots
and viii not be in first class shape for
some days at least Scratching re-
duced the field for the opening handi-
cap 70 four starters, with Lsaro IA

tory with greater ease than the chart
would indicate. Gross rated him along
in front all the way, and the horse had
something IN reserve at the end Miss
Omcious, always in strenuous pursuit
made a game bid and just failed to get
UP after a thrilling stretch struggle
Lisaro ran unlike the Lisaro Of last
winter. and stopped after keeping
fairly close 10 the leaders in the early
running.
BaInade's victory was not only Z
surprise. but a fuke. College Widow

Jockey Keogh's overconfdence was
wholly to blame for the defeat OF

After having the race at his mercy he
threw il away by easing up his mount
near the wire.

A possible explanation which old
miners give me is that a string of
coal cars, breaking loose, plunged
down the tunnel and probably
crashed into a lot of dynamite,
which is taken into the mines in
so pound lots.
This, it is thought, caused an eX-
plosion which in turn exploded the
first collection of deadly coal dust,
wrecking both mines.
Another story, and one that is
given credence despite the fact that
effect effort to hush it has been
made, is that a connection was
made between the two mines, and
that the gases rushing together eX-
ploded.
At the instance of Gov. Dawson
the entire mine inspection bureau
of the state is at work under the
direction of Chief Paul, in an eff
fort to locate the ulame.
This is West Virginia's fourth
mine horror in 10 months, and the
governor has promised swift pun
ishment il negligence has been
shown.
There was pathos enough in the
scenes at the mines while the
bodies were taken out TO make a
nation weep

MEANSLOCKOUT
IN SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Dec. 13.-A lockout
of the organized building tradesmen
and building laborers employed by
more than hundred of the leading
building contractors of this city
will be precipitated if the employ
ers undertake to carry out reso-
luton which declares for the open
shop and which was adopted by the
Seattle Builders exchange and also
by the Master Builders association
Should the lockout occur, several
hundred employees will be affected
and the building industry of the
city will be completely tied up, at
least temporarily.
The contractors Of Seattle, as
represented by the Master Build
ers' association, signed up with the
labor unions last summer, the con-
tract to hold good for two years
The unions claim that the contrac-
tors have organized the Seattle
Builders exchange for the purpose
of sidestepping their contract and
precipitating fight with the
unions.
The contractors claim the union
men broke faith with them and
cite the fact that the union brick
layers walked off the federal build
ing in this city on account of the
hiring of a nonunion man, notwith-
standing the union men invariably
demaded the closed shop and the
effort to hire nonunion bricklay-
err was regarded as hostile act on
the part Of the contractors.

TO Defeat PRIMARY

SEATTLE, Dec. 13.-The King
County Republican cluD does not
propose to lose it's grip on state
politics if it can help it. The new
bylaws of the club provide that the
committee men elected in the pri-
maries tot represent their precincts
must turn over control of the cam
paign to a committee selected by
the club, which will conduct the
campaign as of yore.
The plan has for its object the
defeat of section % of the new di-
rect primary law by taking the
management of the city campaign
out Of the hands of an elected city
committee and placing it in the con-
troll of the party organization.
