William Bedford, OF the Cuban
Giants, Electrocuted During
Storm on BAH Field.

ticing with his team on the ball
grounds here William Bedford, sec
ond baseman of the famous Cuban
Giants, was struck by lightning and
killed instantly. Two other members
of the team were knocked down and
stunned by the same bolt that killed
Bedford, but they soon recovered.
It was about half an hour before
the time set for the beginning of the
game when the storm suddenly broke
Bedford was at second base, gather
ing in .gronnders and whipping the
ball across the diamond, when the
rain came down in a deluge. He
started to run for shelter, but before
he had gone ten yards there was a
binding flash and terrific report.
1t looked as If flash of lightning had
struck the ground close beside him.
Bedford fell in a heap, but his fellow
players, running heads down against
the storm, did not see anything was
amiss with him until they reached
the stand.
Half a dozen of them at once ran
back to his assistance, but Bedford
was dead Apparently the lightning
struck him through the steel spikes
of his playing shoes. There were no
marks on his body, but both shoes
were burned and partly stripped from
his feet, and his cap, which lay few
yards away, also was chalTed and
torn Walter Gordon and Charles
,Folles, who we're knocked senseless
by the same stroke, were able TO walk
back to the stand with help by the
time Bedford's body had been carried
in.
The accident happened in view of
1000 persons who had gathered for
the game. Bedford was negro. He
is survived by widow and several
children, who live in Cairo, Ill.
