BILL RENNER
DESERTS SQUAD
Shortstop Refuses to Bunk
Double.
BACK TO The FARM"
Maybe Renner Feared Wolfe
is too Strong.
The lllinoisan Saw the Columbus
Lad Workout and Learned What
the Fans Think of Him.

The first desertion from the train
ing camp occurred yesterday when
Bill Renner, the much touted short
stop, who halls from Mt. Pulaski,
H., packed his duds and departed.
1t is supposed that he left for his
home.
Renner saw Frank Wolfe work out
at short and perhaps he thought
the youngster looked like too tough a
proposition and was afraid to stay
and try conclusions with him. Rem
ner also heard some of the nice
things that are being said about
Wolfe by Marion fans.
There is also another story of the
deserter's cause for leaving. He did
not want to sleep with any of the
other ball players. When told that
he would have to bunk up with one
of the others, as there were no more
rooms at the hotel vacant, he re-
signed.
whats the matter, Bill?" asked
Manager O'Day. 81 don't want to
sleep in a bed with anyone else, he
replied.
TWhy not? Don't you think these
fellows are all right?"
''Well," said Bill, It don't make
any difference.
you'll have a fat chance of get
ting on a team If you will not bunk
double. These fellows are all right
and no one could ask for better
team mates" was O'Day's next sally.
Then Bill came back and said
well they maye be alright but they
don't look Il.
That made ODay warm under the
collar and he said II want you 70
know Renner that every man on this
team is just as good as you are and II
you want to sleep alone, you had
better stay out of professional base
ball and hike back to the farm where
! picked you up"
A few minutes after that Renner
left the hotel and has not been seen

Parachute Thrillers.

Among the latest "tbrlllers" is the
triple parachute leap. in which one
aeronaut uses three different para
chutes before reaching earth. He
leaves the balloon in his downward

Tomorrow afternoon the first exhi-
btion game of the season will be
played between the Regulars and the
Yanigans and every member of the
bigger squad will be seen in action
at Webb park. The contest will COM
mence at three o'clock.
While the team has not had much
work thus far the men are pulling
down their surplus flesh and harden
ing those muscles which have been
given winters rest. The outlook
for strong team Is so encouraging
that many of the fans are saying
something about pennant floating ov-
Ter Webb park next year. But the
manager is wise old owl and will
not claim anything. O'Day realizes
the pace that will be travelled in the
league this year and while he is en-
Itirely satisfied that he has a great
team he does not believe in winning
a winter pennant.
The fact that Lusky is with the
Outlaws, and all has not worked
Iaround exactly as was hoped does
not bother the manager in the least.
81 have long ago ceased to let ball
players worry me-" is the way he
puts It. "If there Is any worrying
to do, let them do it. The more they
can worry you the more they will
try. There are too many good play
,ers in the country who can be had
without any trouble to worry over
,one or two players"

CoNFlscATED OR DESTROYED
Little Is Left of American interests In
Venezuela, Secretary Root Says.


Venezuela, Secretary Root Says.
Secretary Root in his letter, now
made public, to the United States min
lister at Caracas, repeating the demand,
always refused by Venezuela, for arbi-
tration of American claims. said:
Notwithstanding the long and un.
broken friendship manifested by the
United States for Venezuela, notwith-
standing the repeated occasions upon
which the United States has intervened
as friend in need to relieve Venezue.
la from disagreeable aud dangerous
complications with other foreign pow
ers, the government of Venezuela has
within the past few years practically
confscated or destroyed all the sub
stantial property interests of Ameri-
cans in that country.
This has been done sometimes In
accordance with forms of law and con.
trary to the spirit of the law; some
times without even form of law by one
device or another, with the action of
the government apparently always hos
tile to American interests. until of the
many millions of dollars invested by
American citizens in that country prac-
tically nothing remains"
Referring specifically to the case of
the New York and Bermudez (asphalO
company, the secretary declared that
"The seizure of the property belong
ing to the company by unquestioned
and subsisting titles is harsh and
unjust deprivation of property, and the
continued possession and exploitation
of these mines by n sequestrator or by
! any person other than the lawfully au-
thorized agent of the company is a
daily and growing grievance.
"As the company has failed to OBJ.
tain the protection of courts of justice
and as the company continues to be de-
prived Of its property. this government
feels itself constrained to protest firm
, ly but courteously. through diplomatic
channels against the continuance of a
wrong perpetrated by the abuse of ju.
dicial process

HAMSTEAD MINE DISASTER.
Quick Work to Save Entombed Men by

Coal Workings.
Extraordinary means were adopted
for the relief of the men emtombed by
the explosion at the Hamstead colliery,
near Birmingham. This was one OF
the worst of English mine disasters.
The dead recovered numbered about
twenty-five.
To enable the rescuers to penetrate
the mine workings 1t was necessary to
reverse the ventilating system. To do
this required new fan, connected by
new ducts with the old shafts. A
sixty inch Sirocco turbine fan. deliv.
erlng $4,000 cubic feet OF air a minute,
was hastily requlsltioned from a neigh
boring colliery. A hundred men then
went to work with feverish haste to
install the fan, which was six times
more powerful than the fan previously
ipF use.
gLaboring night and day. the men laid
10000 bricks in less than twenty four
hours. This provided the fan fouuda-

culvert and an additional duct con
meeting with the old downcast shaft of
the mine had to be constructed and
steam mains laid to connect the fan en-
gine with the colliery boiler house.
Until this was done the rescuers
made little progress in their work, be-
cause the upcast Shaft of the mine
was incumbered and damaged by fire.
Even before the sirocco fan could be
put In place rescue parties had at
tempted to explore the Ill fated mine,
but the workings were In such dan.
gerous condition that little could be
accomplished. One Of the rescuers
lost his life in attempting to reach the
imprisoned men below.
