Crackers and Volunteers Clash in Another DoubIe-Header
ATKINS AND SITTON WILL DO HURLlNG TODAY

n NASHVILLE, TENN, June IS
~ Atkins and Sitton will do the
hurting for the Crackers in
the double -header scheduled here
today and as both are in tiptop
condition. Manager Charley Hemp
hill is confident Of winning both
battles.
Charley Hemphill alleged that he
was working his sore arm" bri-
gade in the pitchers box yester-
day He has been announcing that
Russell and Brady weren't very
well. He claimed that their arms
were sore.
After seeing Hemphill's two In
valids work, local fans are of the
opinion that, If the rest Of the
Cracker hurlers are feeling even
tolerably well. the Atlanta team will
not lose another game this year.
And as for today's double header
well they have already kissed
that good bye.
The revivified Atlanta lineup
looked hummer yesterday. Har-
bison, the new infielder from Spar

were of the ringing, singing varie-
ty He fielded. well in the first
game. but in the second his two err
rors came in the same inning How
ever, he took chances and seemed
to know how to handle himself.
Lefty Russell. who made the
proverbial March hare look tame
as a WEIGH rarebit the first time
he worked for Atlanta pitched a
phenomenal game yesterday. In
eleven innings of a bitter struggle
he gave up only four hits, walked
but one man and made wild pitch.
If Lefty" can keep anything like
this clip for the remainder of the
season he will win more games
than ever d pitcher aid before in

pitcher, Brady. This man has looked
bad or else has had bad support in
every game he has played this sea-
son. But he was there all sixteen
ways yesterday. In seven innings
he held the Vols right down to five
hits, didn't walk a man, didn't hit
a man, didn't make a wild pitch
and deserved to win by wider
margin than he did.
On the strength of winning four
games in a row the Crackers were
tickled blue. The thing hasn't hap
pened before this season. They are
getting their nerve back and ex-

/ The excessive aud unnecessary loss
OF llfe IN the mines Of this country
| was one Of the primary causes for the
creation OF this bureau For years
hundreds Of miners were killed In mine
disasters. aud practically nothing was
done TO check the terrible loss Of life
spurred on by President Taft, an
act creating the bureau Of mines was
passed by congress and became effec
tive on July ], 1910, John A. Holmes
OF the United States geological survey
was appointed Rs the fir5t director.
Mr. Holmes was reputed aud certified
30 he the best trained man for the

successfully for nearly two years.
In the year 1907. the most disastrous
OF all years IN the American coal mines,
8,l25 miners lost their lives. This rep.
resented 4 so of men killed for every
1000 employed Ia coal mines In Eu |
rope less than two miners are killed
out OF every 1000 employed. AS n re
suit OF the work conducted by the bu |
reau OF mines and the wise use or an
appropriation OF Sl50,00O made by con
gress, the death rate has been already
reduced TO practically onehaf what II
was In 1907
one OF the notable achievements OF
the bureau Of mues was the demon
stration OF the fact that coal dust IN
II bltumlnous mine is more dangerous
and deadly tLan gas. II had been the
belief heretofore that gas or fire damp
was the greatest menace to tho min
ers, and little attention was given TO
the accumulation Of coal dust The
bureau OF mines proved to the salts
faction Of the miners as well as opera
tors that coal dust would explode and
unlike fire damp, carried no warning
with r. The keeping OF dusty mines
wet, as recommended by the bureau
of mines. was found TO reduce ma
terially the chances of explosion Of Goa
dust.
The number Of deaths In the mines
has been greatly reduced as result
OF the testing of explosives under the
direction OF the bureau Of mines In
the year 1908 the coal mines IN the Unit
ed States used 100000 pounds OF
short flame explosives. aud at present
nearly seven times that quantity IS be
