workmen, rs per cent of them white
and the rest Japanese, are missing as
the result of the avalanche, which
early today swept Cs.-adian Pacific
work train into Bear Creek canyon,
near Rogers pass, according to dis
patches received from Canadian Pacific
officials late tonight.
Since noon today 600 men have been
digging frantically into the mass of
snow and debris under which the miss
ing men are believed to be buried.
How many are dead it is impossible
to estimate, but the railroad officials
ON the scene express the opinion that
it will be weeks before the exact num-
Der is known The tracks at the
scene of the disaster are buried for a
quarter of a mile, fifty feet deep and
Bear Creek canyon at that point is
filed with debris.
Meanwhile, there is grave danger
that new slides will sweep away and
bury the rescuers, as the amount of
snow piled up on the mountain side
above the railway tracks is unprecednt-
ed. This danger was increased when
a warm rain accompanied by Chinook
winds set in.
The advices reviewed here tonight
are still meagre, but they tell enough
to give an idea of the magnitude of the
disaster. 1t is definitely known that
Conductor Vic Buckley and Engineer
w. P. Phillips of the work train were
killed.
The slide occurred one mile east OF
Rogers pass and at the very summit
of the Selkirk mountains. The vic
tins were members of a gang of work
men sent on work train headed by a
rotary plow to Rogers pass to clear
the tracks, which had been buried yes
terday afternoon by small slide from
the mountain.
Rain and sleet were falling when the
rotary engine, aided by the small army
of white and japanese section men
started to clear the tracks. Although
there We're premonitions of danger in
dicated by the crash and boom of ava
lanches on adjacent peaks, the men
stuck steadily to the task Precisely
at 49, 80 this morning, when half of the
first slide had been removed, the sec
ond avalanche occurred 1t started
on the side of the canyon opposite the
point where the first slide took place.
Thousands of feet above, a few roll

and started on their pathway of de
fstruction.
In a few seconds, with tremendous
roar. the avalanche leaped from shell

BASEBALL CHIRPS

Archer plays first base like veteran
for the Chicago Cubs. Chance feels
that he can afford to lay off any
length Of time without any cause for
worry.
Mclean Of the Chicago White Sox
gives the impression that be is going
to be good ball player. The young
ster fields well, is fast ON his feet and
handles his bat as If he were a hitter.
Rollie zeider is the sole survivor Of
the infield with which the Chicago
White Sox started the season. Purtell
has gone to Boston. while Gandil and
Blackburn have been relegated to the
bench.
The playing Of Jack Knight. the New
York Americans infelder, has been the
talk Of the league for weeks. He has
shown himself wonderful shortstop,
first baseman good enough for any
team. and now he is demonstrating
that he can bat just as well as any Of
them.
Talk about your odd names in base
ball! The following short list shows
that the Murphys. Reillys. Smiths and
Joneses are being pushed into the
background by the corners and phe-
mons who are coming up from the

The average ball player is a queer
individual. Constant appearance in

no doubt tend to bring out the pecul.
iarities which Turk IN the disposition
Of all men. One Of the chief things
ball player wants to do IS to work
out Of position. The outnolder wants
TO pitch. the pitcher to play some base,
the catcher to do anything except don

Several players on the st. Louis
team are no exception to the rule,
Roger Bresnahan is one Of the most
versatile athletes In the profession
Originally a pitcher, Roger turned to
catching. While with New York the

suddenly drive the ball at him with all
the force at his command To meet
such an emergency the third baseman
must be absolutely devoid Of fear and
have no thought Of personal injury.
Here are a few things which good
third sacker must possess in order to
be successful In the big circuits. He
must have two good hands and a very
active brain. He must be able 10 grasp
the batted ball with either hand, and
consequently a man with two good
hands and long fingers has a big
advantage over the man who does not
possess them.

EXPLAINS FOOTBALL PROBLEMS.
Camp Goes over Knotty Points With
Experts.

New York, Sept, la.--Gridiron experts
from all the big colleges in the East
and as far south as Vanderbilt uniyer-
sity, Nashville, Tenn attended the
meeting Of the intercollegiate football
officials at the Hotel Manhattan Sat
urday night.
The meeting, which was public was
presided over by Chairman Walter Camp
Of Yale, and was called for the purpose
Of interpreting the rules adopted after
many executive sessions In this city and
Philadelphia last winter and spring.
Several knotty problems arose when
efforts were made 10 put the new rules
into practise, and 70 solve these Sat
urday's meeting was called One Of
these was rule No. 3, the language OF
which mystifed some Of the coaches.
This was settled when it was made
clear that a player removed for rule
nfractiou cannot be returned. But Il
was not settled what to do with a
player removed because of injury.
Whether he may be returned in later
period Is set 10 be settled.
Rule No. AZ also occasioned a little
worry. One coach wanted 70 know II
4 play IN which the ball hit the official
could be repeated. He was informed
that il could.
The rules committee forgot to i'm
pose a penalty on the side whose guard
receives the ball in a snap back, as
forbidden by section 4, rule Is. Mr..
Camp said that the committee would
impose a penalty Of Ave yards in such
a case. ANY player, save a guard
may receive the ball in q nap-baek aft
er the ball has been put in play BY
any PLAYER on his side.
One Official wanted 70 know II under
the pushingpulling clause section TO-
Of rule l7i players were forbidden TO
drag the runner with the ball to his
feet after falling This, Mr.. Camp said,
would be forbidden as il would be pull
ing. It was not decided if under this
same section runner would be penal
iFed for putting his hands on lis play
ers II was decided TO leave tnis to the
subcommittee for decision.

Frank Schultz. right fielder on the

He Is one Of the most natural hitters

Frank Selee picked Schultz up in
Syracuse, N. T.. and said at the time
that the youngster was destined to be
one Of the greatest batters In the his
tory of the game. Frank Chance. who
succeeded SeIee has always had the
same opinion as his old leader. and the
opinion Of the two great leaders has
been brought TO pass. for Schultz Is
now one of the leading sluggers In the
game and is the envy of every player
when he swings on the ball.
Schultz has every one Of the pitchers
scared when they face him. for he has
the most deadly swing Of any Of the
batters In the game.

DO consider playing third base

broke up several battles while in the
role Of foe.
Steve Evans can play first base with
very fair success and came into the
majors on his recommendations as an
initial sacker
Bob Wallace was pitcher prior to
breaking into the Unfolding game, and
he was sent to third base before he be-
came shortstop. Bailey was an out
fielder down in Texas before Eddie
Karger put a dent in his chin, which
affected his batting prowess.
Bailey then assumed pitching and
has been trying ever since, Dan Hoff
man was originally pitcher but was
so wild and MANNED SO many ball
players that the president Of the league
persuaded the manager to shift Daniel
to the outfield. The reverse was the
case with Joe Lake, who was with
Newburg, N. Y, and led his league In
batting.
Ty Cobb loves to pitch. He goes
through the motions Of a man prepar-
ing to 40 into the box. Cob can bend
'em some, end nothing delights him
more than to curve bali unexpectedly
and have regular catcher fight #.
During the of season he pitches a
game occasionally.
The big Detroit catcher, Oscar Stan
age, engages in bunting practice. Stan.
age wears a finger glove and essays
fancier stunts than the regular fielders
can pull off. He gets behind the regu-

has to.
Adrian Joss of the Maps aspires to
be first baseman. Day after day he
stands at the bag during practice peri
DDS and grabs off wild throws and hot
grounders If given chance Joss
