charge of Powder

ST. HELENA, Aug. 9.-The acct
dental discharge of a charge of pow
der which he had set to blast out rocks
in the line of a new roadway caused
the instant death today of John F.
Grigsby. a farmer living two miles
south of this place. Grigsby was work
ing alone and no one knew of the ac-
cident until he failed to appear at
lunch time. His son went to search
for him and discovered the body The
rocks thrown UP by the explosion had
torn large hole in Grigsby's side and
broken his left arm, while his whole
body was charred by the burning OF

Hermann Says
Players Have
Not Deserted
Curtain of Coast League Has
Not Secured Myers,
Hackeff or Hester

President Frank Hermann of the
State league is out with the statement
that the players which Bill Curtain
announced Sunday as having secured
from the State league is the bunk and
that neither of the trio of outlaws
will join the coasters.
According to Curtains story, Hap
Myers. the crack first baseman: Catcher
Tom Hackett and Pitcher Hester had
come into the fold of organized ball
and had agreed to play with the Sac
ramento team. With the desertion of
these men the future of the State
league looked dubious, as the players
were practically the backbone of the
Sacramento outlaws, and it would have
been difficult for the manager of the
team to fill their places at this time
The newly formed Sacramento club
looked stranded, and the fans could
not see anything but failure in sight
for the outlaw organization.
But Hermann's announcement gives
the situation different color. He says
that Myers, Hackett or Hester will
not desert, and that they will be with
the Sacramento State league when it
commences this weeks play. Hermann
says he has the word of the men,
Hermann says the State league will
finish the season as per schedule, and
that it has been experiencing more
prosperity since its reorganization than
before. He says that rowdyism will
be suppressed, and that players en-
ploying such tactics will be banished
from the league
1t remains to be seen who has an ace
in the hole-Curtain or Hermann. Cur
tain says the men will join his team,
while Hermann declares that the play
ers will not desert. The fans will wait
and see.

case last week IN the New York state
championship al Bay Ridge. So Hackett
was left TO play his splendid back
court game in support of Alexander
occasionally squirting up to the net for
slashing cross drive when the oppor-
tunity afforded.
Against such tactics and skill James
displayed game that was persistent if
lacking strength on his low ground
strokes Overhead he was as good as
any of the four men. but he was not
given many opportunities to work the
shots. On the other hand, Mclaughlin
was most evidently having an off day.
His service was not as strong as usual,
nor did he bring eff his swift places
with the precision he has shown in
other matches here.
The best tennis came in the second
set. Hackett lost his service in the
fourth game. which brought the games
10 all. But the champions did not
falter, working at great speed for the
aces until they had established a lead
at SIS. Then James pulled up to 5-4
with service that gave the spectators
q glimpse of California speed. Con-
slant volleying at close range made the
points fall evenly in the next game
with Alexander serving. At 1870 it
appeared that the Californians would
score the deuce, but Alexander stiffened
his service, taking the deciding point
on an ace
