There is still a fight on for the.

Sylvester and Davy Jones all having a
chance at the regular job. Collins

Because of his speedy baserunning
and solid swatting in the Southern

of the training trip picked Johnston
as their running mate. The young

his hitting in recent games and may
be switched back to the second squad.
Bodie, Sylvester and Jones, who are
playing the gardens for Gleason's

efficient work. Cal declares Bodie
will be carried, even though he is not
played regularly.

Sox are primed to tackle the coast

but who has just been sent from the

for second trial. tells the story of
Becker's days at Sing Sing.
Spohr says he was known as the
mayor of the death house' by virtue
of being the best educated man there,
until Becker arrived and succeeded to
the title. Checker confidently expects
that he win get new trial and will
be acquitted, - said Spohr. Gle is the
most religious man in the place and
every night reads the Bible and leads
in the singing of two or rec hymns
and sometimes popular songs in which
the 'ghnmen join. Becker does moi

Victim of what may prove to be care

them, Kamaka Kuahine, an employe Of
the Honolulu Iron Works, was crushed
to death yesterday afternoon, at two
clock, in the company's plant on the
Esplanade.
lie, with a low-workman, was
working around pile of seven or
eight iron bars weighing in the neigh.
borhood of seven or eight hundred
pounds apiece and through some aeci.

was kicked out. The whole big pile
toppled over at once and the little area
in which the worRmen stood held them
as if in a trap The second workman,
Puu, escaped, but Kamaka was caught
beneath the fall and horribly crushed,
probably being killed instantly.
Puu refused to return to that part Of
the shop and had not got over his ter
ror late in the afternoon. Kamaka was
crushed almost fat, and although the
police auto was rushed to the scene
even before the bars had been lifted
off the body by crane, there was no
need for anything except a morgue
wagon.

the case and has ordered an inquest.

determine from the nature of the in

Under this strain the shaft gave way
