WORLD SERIES HA[TS
UNTIL RAINS ARE OVER
Umpires Express Doubt
Whether a Game Can Be
Played Tomorrow.

PHILADELPHIA. October 20.-Jupiter
Pfuvius still holds the advantage in the
series for the base ball championship of
the world. For three days the rain god
has prevented the Philadelphia Athletics
and the New York Giants from getting
together for their fourth tilt for the
premier base ball honors.
Wednesday and Thursday, and when the
umpires saw that there was no prospect
Of the weather clearing they again de-
cided not to wait until later in the day
and called off the game at $50 o'clock.
The game goes over until tomorrow.
Tomorrow's Chances Slim.
Umpire KLEIN after an inspection of
the field gave it as his opinion that there
will have to be an early and radical
change in the weather if there is to be
a game here tomorrow
To use the language of the ground
keeper at Shibe Park, most of the play
ing field was mess" Three nights
and two days of rain and fog have
turned the field, with the exception of
the pitchers box and home base, into
almost quagmire. Only a handful of
base ball fans gathered at Shibe Park
in the early hours Of the day, and when
the official announcement was made that
no game would be played today they
quickly disappeared in the mist. The
members of the two champion teams are
fretting under the delay.

JUDGE GRAY MENTIONED
AS HARLAN SUCCESSOR
Appointment Will Be Made, It
Is Intimated, From
Third District.

Intimation that President Taft may
appoint Justice Harlan's successor from
the third judicial district-Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and Delaware-has
Immediately brought forward the name
of United States Circuit Judge George
Gray of Delaware, whereat there is
loud clatter from the politicians, with
the republicans looking very much
down their noses.
Nobody questions the capability Of
Judge Gray, and the only mutterings
are on political grounds. Ever since
Justice White, a democrat, was ele
waited to the chief justiceship the repub-
lican partisans have been grumbling,
and because Justice Harlan was a re-
publican they have looked upon his
seat as their perquisite.
However, it is pointed out that if
the President should name a demo-
crat the court would still stand five
republicans to four democrats, which
is not considered disproportionate to
excess. White Lurton and Lamar are
the three democrats already on the
bench, and the democratic politicians
think that one more could we'll be
added.

TWELVE ARE DROWNED
IN MINE SHAFT FLOOD
Victims Caught When Blast
Detroys Partition, Letting
in Great Quanity of Water.

HIBERNIA, n j., October 20.-Twelve
men were drowned here today when a
blast destroyed partition between two
shafts in the iron mines of the Wharton
Steel Company and let great quantity
of water, accumulated in an old shaft,
flood the gallery where they were at
work. All the victims are foreigners,
except David Slaight, foreman of the
gang, who lost his life in trying to aid
his men.
The accident occurred in what was
known as the new Langdon shaft. where
sixty men were at work. Between this
shaft and the abandoned one was a
partition of logs. a blast fired soon
after the day shift went to work this
morning weakened this barrier. so that
it gave way before the water in the
adjoining gallery.
Forced to Swim in Darkness
In less than a minute the water was
over the miners heads, and they were
obliged to swim in the darkness toward
the opening leading to a higher level.
The place where they work was about
800 feet below the surface. Those who
lost their lives were unable to swim
or were pushed down by their struggling
mates.
Slaight, the foreman, was in a posi-
tion of safety when the deluge came
but he rushed into the submerged Shaft
to assist the drowning men, and was
caught there with the other men. 1t
probably will be some time before the
bodies are recovered, as the water must
first be pumped out of the shaft. All
the miners lived in this neighborhood,
and most of them had families.
