CITING GAME. /

The Pilots put 1t onto the Ashbun
baseball aggregation again yesterday
aIternon ia game, which was not
as well played as the first one, but
was one ot these exciting contests
which always pleases the fans.
The game was full of good and
bad playing by both teams, one or
two dumb plays figuring in the ran
getting. When the game was hnaiy
over the score board looked thus:
Brunswick 6; Ashburn s.
Tison was in the box for the Pilots
and he pitched very good ball For
the visitors Pate did the pitching
and Wilcox the receiving. Hudson,
who performed at second for the Wis
iting aggregation, won the honors of
the afternoon for individual playing.
The game proved interesting be-
cause one team would be ahead and
then the other. and finally, towards
the last, the scoSe was tied, the Pilots
making the necessary run in the
eighth.
The attendance was very good. The
last game Of the series will be played
this afternoon and it is expected that
the largest crowd Of the week will

love cannot exist between Sturges and
Kibbey owing to recent occurrences in
which Sturges came out second best,
notably that of the selection of ter.

Kibbey. The fight of Sturges and Frank

BUREAU OF MINES.

Congressman Engelbright of Califor.
MIA has introduced bill into congress
for the establishment of bureau of
mines which has so long been advocated
by the mining interests of the country.
According to the bill, the bureau would
be under the supervision of the depart
ment of the interior and its chief func-
tions would be the prevention of mine
accidents, the lessening of waste in op.
Grafton, the improvement of milling and
reduction of ores and the advancement
generally of the industry in the United
States and its possessions.
The bill specifies that among other
testing stations one shall be established
for the special investigation of explos-
ives as they pertain to the prevention
of mine accidents. In view of the re-
cent series of disastrous coal mine ac.
cidents in Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
Alabama, New Mexico, and various 9th.
er sections of the country, this provision
appears to be timely and is embodied
in the bill at the urgent request of
operators throughout the country.
II also covers cooperative work with
other branches of the government SER
vice, as well as with states, munieipali-
ties and corporations, at cost, and sub
Ject to regulations approved by the sec
rotary of the interior, with special ref
erenee to building or construction work
involving public safety, mine conditions,
or prospecting on public lands.
The bill calls for director at the
head of the bureau, and corps of tech.
meal experts as assistants; also ma.
tional advisory board to be appointed
by the president, the membership of
which may be composed of heads of
other government bureaus conducting
extensive construction work or purchas
ing large quantities of supplies in the
lines of industry and experimentation
covered by the provisions of the act.
