SPORTS
Colleges Disagree

Summer base ball will continue TO
be bugbear to the various colleges
| throughout the country for some time
TO come. The problems that this
phase of intercollegiate athletic ac-
| tivity presents to the men who have
the best interests of amateur spirit at
heart We're threshed out pro and con
to great length recently in New
York, where the third annual con-
vention of the Intercollegiate Athlet-
ic Association of the United States
was held. At the end of all the dis
cussion the impression was received
that there is no plausible solution of
the case of the college man who sur
reptitiously plays base ball during
his vacation for monetary gain
The general opinion among the
delegates to the convention appeared
to be that matters would have to reg
ulate themselves slowly, and that it
would be impossible to formulate leg
islation at the present time that
would do away with the evils of this
branch of college sport. Opinions
were divided as to whether it would
not be better to come out fiat-footed
and allow the college men to earn
money by base ball during his vaca-
tion and infiict no punishment upon
him, provided he preserved a salts
factory scholastic standard, or wheth-
er the summer player should suffer
disbarment from participation in the
varsity games. The upshot of it was
when all the evidence had been pre-
sented that the amateur law should
apply to all branches of athletics
What the association hopes for is
general clearing in local districts
to be accomplished by placing the in
dividuals on the honor system 1t!
was felt that there was too diversi-
fed sentiment to group all under
national agreement at the present
stage.

is not likely that any train service will be put on the twenty-one miles of completed road unless the branch line is to be built in to either Douglas or Bisbee, which is not probable, after the abandoning of the Naco line which was so nearly complete.
 The prediction that the Southern Pacific would either build it's line to Douglas or come to this city over the tracks of the Courtland branch of the El Pa5o < South western railroad has had no con- frmation. Representatives of the El Paso < Southwestern declare that they know nothing of any understanding or agreement for trackage privileges for the South ern Pacific over their line.
 There yet remain several hun dred mules and considerable grad ing equipment at Kelton, the property of Grant Brothers, who had the contract for building the road from Kelton to Naco. There is no information concerning how long this stock will remain in the valley, but it is said that unless another contract is let no more work will be done by Grant Bros., in this section. The mules are be- ing held at Kelton perhaps because there is no work ready for them at the present time and as large amounts of hay and grain had been shipped to Kelton the mules are simply held there as the most con- venient place until work is ready for them.
 One of the Phoenix papers stated this week that Grant Brothe CTS were taking three hundred mules to Winkelman to work on the San Carlos extension of the Phoenix & Eastern line and it may be that the mules now at Kelton are to be taken to that work.

Important Railway Deal.


 The Bisbee Miner of the 17th presented the important informa- tion that the Southern Pacific Co.,, had bought from the El Paso and Southwestern Railway Company the line built recently by the latter between Courtland and Douglas, and the Nacosari railway, from Douglas to Nacosari.
 One week later the Miner pub lished a confirmation of the report of the 17th, which is reproduced as follows:
 "As exclusively announced in the Miner of Wednesday, Nov. F (the only Arizona paper to carry the statement), the Southern Pa cifc has purchased the Mexico and Colorado railroad and the Naco- zari road from the Phelps Dodge company, giving the s. P. a direct line from their transcontinental road to the Pacific Coast of Mexico.
 "This confirmation of the Miners report comes from Postmaster Cad we'll of Douglas who, in making ar. engagements for the mail service to Courtland, the northern terminus of the Mexico and Colorado, was informed by railroad officials that instead of dealing with the E. P. x $. w. interests, that he was nego- tiating with the Southern Pacific.
 "The deal between the two rail- road companies was made previous to the stopping of the construction of the Southern Pacific line down the Sulphur Springs valley from Kelton to Naco, and the discharge of the construction outfits was due directly to this purchase.
 "This deal is of the utmost im- portance, not only to Douglas, but to all of southern Arizona. The $. P. line now under construction south of Nacozari will give direct connection with Mazatlan, the principal port in the state of Sina- loa, and a port destined to be one of the greatest harbors on the Pa cific coast when the Panama canal is completed.
 Besides connecting Douglas and this part of the territory with tide- water, the new line will pass through a country the vastness of whose resources are little dreamed of, the finest agricultural land on the continent and the mountains and gulches which are natures store houses of mineral wealth.
 "The reported consummation of this all important sale leaked out in Douglas last evening, and its effects are already apparent in the real estate business in that city. A Douglas man was in Bisbee last evening in conference with Bisbee people who own real estate in the Shelter City, getting options on their Douglas property"

upon which we as a people may rely

called on to do more than parade and
perfect themselves in drill, but should

MINERS ESCAPE
FIERY DEATH
EniOmbGd by Explosion They
Broke Through to Safety.
TWO DEAD; TWELVE INJURED

Forty Men, Imprisoned by a Wall
Of Fire, Broke Their Way Into an
Old Working and Escaped - Were
Five Hours Making the Journey and
Were Greeted With Cheers.
Wilkes BaVe, Pa, March 3.-Forty
men. workers in the big No. IL
colliery OF the Erie railroad mines at
Port Griffith. escaped death by the
merest chance. An explosion occurred
in the mine, and hope for the men was
almost abandoned, as a wall OF fire
separated them from rescuing parties.
BY great good luck the imprisoned
men. mindful OF their danger, man
aged to breaw way through from the
gangway. where they were caught by
the fire. into an old working. BY this
means they reached an outlet OF the
mine before the suffocating smoke
overcame them.
They were five hours making their
Journey, and during that period there
was little hope Of ever seeing them
alive. There was greet cheering and
rejoicing when the waiting crowds
at the mouth OF the shaft heard the
news.
AS It was. two men met death and
twelve others were badly burned or
otherwise injured. Both the dead men
are foreigners.
The explosion is generally believed
to have been caused by a careless
miner. It is said this man needed a
mine rail and went into an abandoned
chamber to look for one. He had a
lighted lamp on his hat, and the eX-
plosion followed. Brattices and doors
were torn out and mine cars tossed
from the tracks. All was in darkness
and miners who had escaped injury
CROPPED their way out, picking up the
injured on the way.
But back in the mine were others
forty OF them. Every available man
was put to work as a rescuer. Hose
was sent down the shaft in order to
fight the blaze with water, and air
was forced toward the section where
the forty were supposed to be I'm
prisoned.
The news that an explosion had oc-
CURED brought a vast crowd to the
shaft opening. and the usual distress
ing scenes of women and children
weeping for lost ones were enacted
The mine officials. although they knew
the fire was between them and the
buried worbmen, did not abandon hope
utterly, although they didn't see how
the men could get out. But they had
reckoned without the resourcefulness
Of the imprisoned men themselves
and were as much surprised as joyed
when the news came that the men had
made their escape.

warm supporters. Mr.. Tucker 5
strength has grown considerably in
