MINER
Is STILL HOPING
FOR HIS RELEASE

Centra1ia, Pa, Oct THE reScuing
party of the Continental mine of the
Lehigh Valley Coal Company, which
is trying to reach Thomas Tosh esky, a
miner entombed, last Friday, this
morning, arrived at a point which
showed that 40 feet of solid coal and
rock would have to be cut through to
enable them to crawl in and release
the imprisoned man.
Toshesky is undergoing the ordeal
bravely in his isolated little prison
100 feet below the surface. Frequent
~, during the night, he conversed
with the rescuers, his remarks being
heard very clearly through the SO
feet of tubing penetrating the coal
breast from an adjoining chamber.
Since a, blanket was pushed through
the tube to him yesterday, he feels
more comfortable. He said water was
dripping from the roof and that his
prison was beginning to gro wdamp
while the atmosphere was becoming
heavy. Unless he is soon rescued he
may perish for want of fresh air,
mining experts say.
Tosh esky frequently asks about his
rescuers to tell his wife she should
worry as little possible. Mine in
spectors from various anthracite dis
tricts are assisting in the work of res
cue. Officials of the company said,
today, that Toshesky may be taken
from the mine by nightfa1I. Progress
is slow as there is constant danger of
additional falls of coal and debris.

BROWN
CLEANS UP RIDGE
Returns to Ring After Long Alb
Sence and Does Well.

Knockout Brown returned to the
ring at the Atlantic Garden A. c.,
New York, last night, after a rest of
several months, and had to fight at top
speed all the way to beat Danny
Ridge in ten rounds teeming with &C
ton.
Brown displayed all his old agrees
siveness and assimilative powers. But
for these essen tials he would have
been badly beaten young man, for
Ridge scored a knockdown shortly af-
ter sparring off in the first round. A
right to the chin did the trick. The
upset would have discouraged any
other youngster. but not K. o. Brown.
The tow-headed Teuton bounded
right up and was fighting away with
all old abandon. He hayed his arms
like a windmill and soon had Ridge
retreating.
Ridge showed up his rival in the
first three rounds by clearly Outright
ing him, but after that Brown slugged
his way into the lead and held the ad-
vantage until the end.
In the other star bout of ten rounds
Battling Levinsky easily defeated Jack
Heating. Levinsky was outweighed
by % pounds, but he handled Heating
with ease.

KETCHAM OF YALE
CHANGED TO GAURD
Because of Poor Showing
Against Holy Cross Coaches
Make Shifts.

New Haven Oct 1-SeveraI changes
In the lineup of the Yale eleven went
into effect yesterday afternoon because
Of the poor showing of the team in the
Holy Cross game last Saturday Capt
Ketcham was transferred from center
to guard, Marting going to the snap
back position. Pendleton was moved
from right guard to tackle on the same
wing. Ben Avery was deposed at
left end, Roberts taking the place.
Avery's work in the Holy Cross game
suffered a relapse the visitors boxing
him and pulling him out Of the play
repeatedly. Roberts, his successor,
was used on the Freshman team last
season.
Marting, who has been substitute
centre all season, was shifted to guard
last Saturday and proved inexperienc-
ed. He is an excellent centre al
though not the equal of Ketehana, who
has gone to guard without experience
in the position.
Pendleton was tackle last year and
has simply gone back to his former
place. Russell. iCooney, last years
first string guard, played for the first
time this season at yesterdays prac-
tice. He returned to college this fall
having lost weight through a slight
illness and has rested until this time
The changes were the result of the
poor showing by the rushIine Satur-
day.

STUFF
II has been pointed out a number OF
times here that whenever a young
player breaks into the major league
nRralded as a high-priced etar, the
truth is that he came in exchange for
two or three men who were unable
t. hold down Job in fast company
and they were turned back to the mi
nors TO give the recruit a chance. In
some instances a small money con-
sIderatioa1 accompanies the tried and
found wanting players back, but the
cases are few
They say that Larry Chapel cost
the White Sox $4,000 and that the
Hfxhlanders paid out $4,000 for Maisel

You want to. but there's nothing to 1t.

BASEBALL SQUAD
REPORTS AT YALE
Capt. Blossom Talks to Candi-
dates and Urges Cham
piOnship Team.

The first call for candidates for the
Yale 1914 baseball team brought out
almost a hundred men last night to
the meeting in the trophy room of
the Yale gymnasium. The gathering
was addressed by Captain Blossom
and Head Coach Quimby, both of
whom emphasized the Importance of
hard work on the part of the men. At
present there is no baseball squad, but
the main purpose of the fall practice
Is to develop the material into suitable
shape that the spring work can be
confined to the betterment of the best
men, those on the squad.
This list of men will be almost I'M
changed during the 1914 season, but,
like last year, opportunity will be Of
fered to the best on the class squads.
All the old men were present at the
meeting, Hunter, Brown, Gle, Cornish,
Harpham, Reilly, Midd1ebrook and
Blossom. Pumpe1ly was not there on
account of illness.
These fFY'' men were given a special
session after the other varsity tryouts
had left. The freshmen were also ad-
dressed by Blossom, Qutmby and
Coach Tommers, who will have charge
of whipping this raw material into
shape for the expected f1rst-year cham
ipionShip.

CALDWELL HAS BEST
RECORD OF YANKEES

New York. Oct. Ray Caldwell of
the Hfghlanders probably will do
something this year that no major
league pitcher has been able to ac-
compltsh since the rules were chang
ed to allow the substitution of players
that is go through the season with
record Of finishing every game he
started to pitch Mr.. Slim has been
picked by Chance to start thirteen
battles, and he has been in at the
finish of each one of these contro-
versies, never once having been bat
ted off the rubber and never having
once been withdrawn to make way for
a pincher as well as pitcher.
Caldwell has won eight of the COM
plete games he has pitched, and lost
five. The greatest number of taIlies
scored off him in any one contest is
four, and he owns a pair of shutouts-
one of them over the champion Ath-
letics. The tall pitcher was of Nigh
ty little use to the Yanks until last
month Since July 81 he has started
and finished twelve games for the
Chancemen, limiting his opponents to
twenty-seven and seventy-seven hits
in these ARRAYS.

TO-DAY IN PUGnIsTc ANNALS.

1787-Danie1 Mendoza defeated
fJen the Butcher in rounds in
England. Mendoza was the first of
the many clever Jews who have
adopted fighting as a profession. His
first important bout was in 1874, when
he defeated a giant scrapper called
Harry the Coal HEAVIER After de-
feating the Butcher" he took on
Richard HUMPHREYS in three bouts
losing one and winning two. His last
victory over Humphries was decisive,
and when Benjamin Brain, the unde-
feated champion, died in 1894, Men
doza was acclaimed as his successor.
He held the title only a year, when
he was defeated by John Jackson. The
Hebrew won by cleverness and
science, rather than brute strength,
but in Jackson he met a man as cIev-
err as himself, and much stronger.

Murphy fought 10-round draw at New
Orleans.

KID WILLIAMS IS
AFTER JOHNNY COULON
(By T. S. Andrews.)

Won't some one please arrange
meeting between Kid Williams, the
Baltimore eagle, and Johnny Coulon,
the champion bantam weight, and save
Sammy Harris, manager of Williams,
from the expense of going to the Pa
cif1c coast in search of matches? Sam
my says he has tried every means un-l
del. the sun to get Cou1on into a match
Probably Sammy has forgotten that
Johnny went into the wilds of Canada
to fish and hunt and announced that
he would not be back until October,
when he would surely give the Eagle
a match. Williams has made threats
of claiming the title and all that, but
to date has not done so, at least no
one has given him the same by de-
fault In order to get even and forget
his worries about Coulon, the Balti-
more claimant has taken to the stage
and is doing a s.voodevi11e" act with
Young Britt, good little feather
weight. If Johnny Coulon had any
feeling he would get a move on and
come out of the woods and give Har-
ris' man a chance, and at that Will
liams deserves to try at the title, for
he is surely most determined little
fellow and carries the goods right with
him. Johnny will have to match up
soon or pass the buck
