KELLER FOOLS THEM.
"Wee Willie" Is Playing in Old. Time
Form for Hilltop Sriqads.


Form for Hilltop Srigads.
The rejuvenatIon OF Wee Willie
Keeler, of the Highlanders, is one OF
the surprises of the season. Billy has
certainly reached his second wind -
and is playing the same brand OF bali
that brought him forward to the front
seat in stardom just seventeen years
ago.
A glance at 1909 playing statistics
will show you that Keeler is back in
his accustomed place as chief stick
wielder of the Hilltop brigade with an
average of .271 per cent. II Willie
keeps up the good work he will soon
enter the old 800 circle, of which he
was so long a member. Billy is not
only averaging a couple of wallops a
day, but he is fielding as fast as ever.
Now the new line of dope on Keeler
is that the little veteran is likely to
keep in the procession as long as Ora
tor Jim O'Rourke or Jake Beckley,
who are known as the century birds"
of the profession. After Saturdays
game a fan climbed over the railing
and ran across the field to congratu-
late Wee Willie." Willie smiled and
said:
"I'll fool 'em all. I'm not through
yet by any means. I'll be playing ball
when all those young married feIlers
who come up here to the games are
silver haired grandpops" And 1t looks
as If Willie is smoking the right grade
of pills.
Keeler's surprisingly fine perform
ances of late have been hard 1olt to
obituary scribblers," who have been
harping for couple of years or more
that Billy 'is all in" etc, etc. It's no
idle dream, for Billy probably enjoys
the distinction of having his diamond

thousand five hundred members OF
the International Brotherhood Of
Teamsters in this city are making ar
rangements for a general strike as a
protest against police tramc regula-

quoted as follows:
'The police use the traffic regula.

not day passes but that scores OF
drivers and chauffeurs are arrested
without any good reason. Every time
teamster is arrested, his horses
have to stand in the street for hours.
The traffic policeman, who makes
the arrest, gets OF the street for a few
hours In this cold weather. and he
enjoys the relief. The horses suffer.
and teamsters. who do not get too
much pay, at best, have to pay fines"

Chicago. Jan. 20.-At least fifty-three
workmen are included among the list
OF missing and the majority of these
are known to be dead as the result
OF a fire that had It's origin today in
powder vault attached to the inter
mediate crib In Lake Michigan used in
the construction of new water tunnel
connecting with the south side Of the
city at Seventy-third street
Ninety-five worlzmen were employed
in the crib and In the connecting tun-
mel at the time of the fire.
The contracting, firm of George ".
Jackson C Company and tho rescuers
have been unable to arrive at any
thing like an accurate list OF those
who perished in the flames or the Icy
waters of the lake,
The hospitals of the south side are
filed with injured. City fire boats. as
we'll as the tugs of the construction
company are making frequent trips TO
the scene of the disaster through the
heavy Ice foes.
Owing to the difficulty small craft
experienced in reaching the crib dur
ing the winter the majority OF the
wor!lmen employed on the work and
particularly those who were without
families slept in temporary structures
at the crib. Just as these had been
awakened for the days work the ex-
ploSion occurred.
So far as known. the explosion had
its origin In small powder house
about one hundred yards from the crib
structure proper, but part of the
general structure built OH foundations
resting on the bottom OF the lake. In
this building tho George w. Jackson
company stored enough powder and
dynamite for urgent use In the work
of constructing the water tunnel In
some manner. the powder and dyna-
mite exploded The detonation. muf-
fed as it was by the crashing of float
ing Ice against the crib, simply arous-
ed the attention Of workmen, and 1t
was not until the heat OF the flames
and the sitting smoke penetrated the
so-called Giving room of the crib and
the tunnel beneath the waters of the
lake that the full import OF the disas-
ter dawned upon the little colony of
workmen cut of almost completely
from assistance.
After several hours o. work, thirty
nine workmen were rescued. When
the fire tug Conway succeeded in
Quenching the flames, flfty-three bodies
had been carried to the shore and
placed In morgues In South Chicago,

the victims In the majority of instances
were unrecognizable. The contracting
firm gave out the following list OF
