STEALING HOME
A Daring Play in Baseball Reserved
for Desperate Situations

Stealing home is a fascinating
play. It has two variations-one the
Squeeze" play, and the other the
straight steal of home. 1t may be ac-
complished at times when a pitcher
takes a long "wind-up"-it may be
when a passed ball or a wild pitch al
lows you to gain the plate, or it may
be by sheer speed and nerve, surpris-
ing the catcher so that you slide right
into his feet even while he has the
ball before he thinks to touch you.
Bat it Is risky play, and is for
either a very desperate situation in
deed as when two are out, and 1t is
certain the batter will strike out OF
when you are so far in the lead you
can afford to take chances-From c.

early yesterday killing four trainmen
and seriously injuring three others.

OF the bodies were badly burned The

moving the bodies of the dead and in
fighting the flames which attacked the
wreckage. Overlapping of orders by
which both trains are said to have re-
ceived official word TO continue in op-
posite directions over the single track
is declared by the engineers to have
caused the collision. Both engineers
say they did not see the others head
light on account of fog and that their
first knowledge that there was an
other train on the track came with
the rending impact of the collision
The place where the accident occur

but 1t was not until noon that the de
bris had cooled sufficiently to allow
search for the bodies and their re
moval. The wreck tied up traffic fol
hours. The tender of the Boston anC
Maine locomotive was thrown bottom
up on top of the Central Vermont 10
comotive, which had been headed
SOUTH but which in the collision was
turned completely about Both en-
glnes and their cabs left the iron en-
tirely, ripping up the tracks for near
ly 100 yards and piling on one side
most of the 95 cars which both hat
been pulling. All the cars were toss
ed to the side of the track away from
the Connecticut river.
