AS MINER
IS RESCUED

Telegram by United Press.
Centralia, Pa, Oct AT 7:25 this
morning Thomas ToshcslNy was releas-
cd from a mammoth ysin Of coal in the
Continental colliery where a barrier
had held him a prisoner for more than
week. His wife broke down. fell
to Che gronnd aud uttered a prayer of
THANKSGIVING.
The miner was rescued by the shift
which started to work at II O'clock
last night Another shift was suppos-
ed to 70 on o'clock but the night
workers insisted on finishing the job
Physicians said the condition Of the
cntombed man was much better than
they expected. His hair was slightly
tinged with gray as a result of his
terrible experience.
Cheers followed the rescue and min
crs flocked to The house of the united
family.
The work to rescue Toshesky is said
by the engineers in charge to estab-
lish a record for the Pennsylvania an
thracite region. For five days the i'm
prisoned man was without food. Dur
ing that time he allayed the pangs Of
hunger with tobacco, as he told the
reseuers after communication was es-
tablished with him. Tuesday night a
tube was forced through the barrier
from an edjoining chamber and a small
quantity Of liquid food was sent down
tc him. Later came a change of cloth
ing blankets and rope. from which he
wove a hammock in which to sleep.
Up to that time Toshesky had com
planned most OF the cold and water on
the floor OF his cell, which made it inn
possible for him to lie down. His nerve
has been splendid all through the or
deal, men working to dig him out say,
and several times he has exchanged
jokes with them

BAUM PICKS
WINNERS in
BIG LEAGUES

Away back in the spring, when the
chill March breezes We're still playing
hide and seek around the corners.
when the young recruits in the big
league c.'mps. training down south,
were wondering whether or not they
would ever be headliners. and while
the sporting oages we're blazing with
half tones Of mrhy veteran, BY acci-
dent a group OF baseball bugs held an
impromptu meeting in the office Of
the Daily Express.
The talk drifted to this and that
quality Of certain players and cen
tered tnally on the allimpcs sant ques-
t.b Ut a million fal.1 over the coun-
try are trying to dope from one sea-
sons end to the other: who viii win
the rags in the big leagues?" Each
man had his fayorites and offered ar
guments to prove that his deduction
was right. Eventually card was pro-
duced and each wrote his favorites
thereon. The card was tackled up in
the composing room and there il has
stayei during the whole summer,
record made before single lusty
lunged jumps had fired the opening
shot OF ~Play Bali" Also. there is
viii stay indefinitely
The bugs were Joe Baum. James
Dainell. Elmer DeKinder. c. c. Guy
and J. f. Pool. Everybody will have
TO take their hats Off to Joe Baum as
a dopester lie picked winner IN
each league. 1t was no idle guess Of
moment either. Joe used up two tab
lets and eleven pencils before he ar
rived at the proper answer, but when
once arrived. he would have bet as
much as fifteen or twenty cents that
he was right. Since the rags in their
respective leagues have been cinched
by New York and Philadelphia, Joe
has been in to look at that card about
three or four times day and he sets
his heels down hard when he walks
out
Here is the way they picked 'em:
Baum picked, New York Nationals and
Philadelphia Americans. Darner pick
cd Pittsburg Nationals and PhiIadel-
phia Americans. Dekinder picked
pittsburg Nationals ana Philadelphia
Americans Guy picked Chicago Ma.
tionals and Washington Americans.
Pooi picked New York Nationals and
Boston Americans.
Every man in The bunch landed
