 The explosion was felt ten miles away.
 No details of the horror can be given as all that is known is that One Thousand men were at work when the explosion occurred. None of them have been rescued at this time, five hours after it took place, and no liklihood exists of the men being rescued for many hours to come. The mine authorities say that with certainty one half of the number at least can be given up for lost.

The first scrimmage practice for the
season was given the football players
of the high school yesterday and both
the first and second teams made an

land owners as result of vigorous
protests received from the Detroit club.
This fine. which is the heaviest i'm
posed on an American league club for
any offense short of actually FORGETTING
a game, grew out of the attempt of
Lajoie to escape a beating by the
Tigers in the second game of the dOu-
BILE header a week ago yesterday. lie
first game was long one, and the De-
trOit club was obliged to leave on an
early train for st. Louis to be on time
for a double header with the Browns
on the following day. In consequence
a time limit was fixed on the second
game by agreement.
AS soon as Detroit acquired a win
ming lead in the second inning Lajoie
and his men began playing for time to
prevent finishing five innings, which
would make it impossible ever to play
off the game Despite all delays a
legal game was completed but the
Maps nearly caused a riot by their dill.
atory tactics. Immediate protest was
made by the Detroit club on the ground
that the affair was an injury to base
ball in general and to the Detroit club
in particular on account of its effect
on the patrons.

Jack Sheridan, the veteran of the
American league umpires, is in a class
by himself He uses neither Indicate:
nor chest protector yet he never stops
ball with his manly bosom and never
loses count of the number of balls
and strikes.
There are a lot of things about
ball game that the casual observer
seldom notes. The conduct of the UNI
pire is one of them. The arbitrator
are considered a part of the baseball
machinery, until they displease the
populace, and then they are anything
from a horse thief up
Every man working as a Judge of
play in the American league has some
marked popularity. The method cf
calling balls and strikes is quite dill
ferent.
Jack Sheridan yowls 'sts-r-r-rk" in
a bulldog tone, lifting his right hani
to indicate that the ball was over the
plate. What he SAYS for bali has
never been interpreted, nobody else
speaking Jacks language. His term
for bali is an mintelligent growi,
yet it is so different from the strike
that the fans have no trouble knowing
