LEAGUE TEAMS
PLAY ri GAMES IN OVERTIME

Baseball players better form union;
they're doing too much overtime. Just
exactly twenty-one full games more than
the schedule, not counting the tie con-
tests. were played In the American
League during the season OF 1910 because
neither team could get the extra run re-
quired to win the regular period. These
twenSy-One games are figured on basis
OF nine full innings for each club par
ticipating In all. the fans of the league
received S7s innings over and above the
regularly scheduled number.
The distribution of extra innings dis
plays some queer angles. Detroit. which
finished third In the race. was next TO
Washington and 81. Louis In number of
innings played beyond the regulation
nine. Detroit labored thirty-two rounds
beyond what the rule book calls for, while
Washington showed thirty-one and St
Louis thirty. This may be accounted for
because the Tigers usually rallied when
occasion demanded, while ST. Louis was
such a weak club that the opposition
could usually go out and collect enough
tallies TO win in regulation time.
The Cleveland and Chicago clubs made
the other folks hustle, for they took part
in sixty-ive innings each OF extra time

dangerous ca,iings of men. What,

order to extract the carbon deposits
OF thousands Of years ago?
Mining under the sea, however. is
continued to a considerable extent in
Great Britain. 1t was only a short
time ago that the overhead seas of
the Whitehaven mine burst through
the sea floor and drowned scores of
men in the workings, making the
further resumption of work impos-
sible.
Workington, near neighbor to
Whitehaven, once had its under sea
mine into which one day the waters
of the Irish sea suddenly burst, drown

the coal In all of this mining the
sea floor ordinarily is only few yards
above the workers heads and the I'M
certainty of the ocean bed lends the
chief risk to the workings.
One of the most famous of existing
sea mines was the Bottallack, cop
per mine at Penzance. The coast is
rocky there and shelves sharply down
into the water. Into this hill ten
galleries were driven, each of them
stopping within few yards of the
floor of the sea. AS the mine work
went on at different levels, the hill be-
came honeycombed with galleries and
mine rooms until the Atlantic began
to leak in at scores of places, caus-

Stories are told of the times when

with thunderous sounds upon the thin
strata lying between the miners and
the water. Mighty powders were
flung about, crushing and grinding on
the ocean bottom until the stoutest
hearted workers in the mine ran in
terror from their work. Among the
workers deafness because of the thun-
ders of the ocean was common and
men left the mine often in hysterical
condition.

quiet weather may explore many of
