as whenever the plate was threatened
he put on steam. He was jolted for
total Of nine hits, and had he gone
on all six cylinders and the crowd had
stayed off the field the chances are
that the total would have been cut
in two.
The Sox secured seven wallops off
MatheWson, but it would be unfair
to call the exhibition a real test, as
the cold wind which whistled over
the diamond kept Matty under wraps.
Besides Johnson has been pitching

their party, as Mrs. Lobert, Mrs.
Meyers and Mrs. Doyle had, just a
few minutes before, walked directly
under the stand, as the front entrance
was blocked by wildly enthusiastic
fans, including hundreds of members
of the Indian nations in Oklahoma
who came to pay homage to Meyers
and Thorpe.
The accident was remarkable in
many ways. Despite the fact that
over two score were lying in the
debris bleeding and cut, the only eX-
element was in the grand stand. Not
sound or a whimper was heard from
the dozens who suffered with broken
| legs, ankles and arms. Two men
rushed out of the wreckage with blood
streaming down their faces, but as it

least injured. The sight caused some

quiet was restored, and with the re-

cleared and the game started, just 10

Owners of each club are expected
to be prepared to make a deposit of
not less than $4,000 to insure the
payment of salaries and other obliga-
tons during the coming season. This
money may be left in the league fund
or it may be deposited in local banks

In discussing the attitude of the
Independent league toward organized
baseball, Mr.. Gilmore said:
1--WE do not expect to recognize the
reserve clause in contract, but We
will not sign American or National
league players whose contracts have
not expired. For Chicago we want
a playing manager of national repu-

We can show him wherc he will be

FOOTBALL PROBE
REVEALS LITTLE
Faculty Investigation Fails to

BILE Makers.
BURTON EXPLAINS AFFAIR
Denies Friction In Athletic Circles
Students Not Ousted
From Board.

There we're no new developments in
the faculty football probe today. Mem
bers Of the team were called on the
carpet one at a time and put through
the third degree, but evidence was
decidedly lacking. The faculty is de-
termined to probe the matter to the
bottom and discover the identity of
the trouble makers, If possible. Prin-
cipal a. J. Burton, in a statement this
morning, denied that student men,
beers OF the athletic board of control
had been ousted from that body and
also denied that there was any fric-
ton at the high school.

III there is any dissatisfaction
among the members OF the eleven in
regard to the way athletics are being
conducted. we want to know ii. and
that is the object OF the present SEES
siOns. / am aware OF the fact that
there have been charges OF favoritism
preferred against Coach Corneal n
the past, but they are entirely un-
founded. They have had their origin
in disgruntled athletes, who. through
some reason or other. have been de.
clared ineligible. and have been car.

REPORTS EXAGGERATED.
The players have been accorded
more advantages this season than
VI before. We have expended S75
Jaudages alone. whereas in past
ears the players have been compelled
10 attend to their own hurts and
bruises. We have appointed a special
trainer for this purpose.
We have tried 10 give every man
on the team a square deal aud we
expect the same treatment from them.
This thing OF a player criticising the
coach for taking out certain men dur
ing game and putting in others must
stop. Players cannot accuse the coach
" losing the game by putting in a
certain man and such talk will not be
tolerated.
The reports concerning the trouble
In the high school have been greatly
exaggerated. Thus far we have found
no athletes who have a grievance and
we do not expect TO do so. Only the
most friendly feelings exist between
,, jIembers OF the football teams and

| all afternoon We're unable to establish
! anything definite as to the cause u
| the catastrophe.
The experts believe, however, that
the catastrophe was most probably
due to the collection of an extremely
explosive mixture of gas and air in
the tunnel running inside the airship
and connecting the three gondolas
which was fired by a back fire from a
carburettor or by spark from mag
neto.
Another possible cause of the fire
and explosion was that a spark of
atmospheric electricity was developed
by the friction of the balloon in its
rubbing together in its outer frame
work as occurred in the case of two
of the predecessors of the l. Ii. This
theory. however, is regarded as i'm
probable. owing to the Improvements

30. .ston, Oct. 1.-THE separation of
the Boston q Maine from the New

Gov. Foss in letter which he sent,
Thursday night, to Henry l.. Higgins

For several years." said the Cover
nor, the New Haven has controlled
the Boston & Maine, but none of the
promised advantages of consolidation
have accrued to the public No salts
factory physical connection between
the tive railroads has been established
and the service has not improved but
has rather deteriorated. We have had,
in short, all the evils of monopoly with
out any of the advantages of a united
service.
1T now seems probable that the con-
solidation of the two railroads was act
ually in violation of federal law and that
before very long the merger must be
dissolved, either by voluntary action OF
the New Haven or as result of action
by the courts.
There is a large and l believe a grow
ing sentiment that irrespective of the f.
nancial difficulties which at present ex-
list, we should be better off il the Bos-
ton & Maine We're a separate and indie
pendent company if the Grand Trunk
were afforded an opportunity to enter
Boston over its lines, if adequate ter
minals of these railroads were provided
with belt line connections and if they
had steamship connections to southern
and other ports.
"As a result of mature considera-
ton. I favor the separation of the Bos-
ton Il Maine from the New Haven sys-
tenn and the acquisition for the Boston
K Maine of the New Havens interests
in the steamship lines which would
give the Boston & Maine water con-
nections to New York and the South
under recent federal legislation. The
New Haven will undoubtedly be re-
uuired to dispose of all it's steamship
holdings except the Sound lines. All
except the latter property should go
to the Boston & Maine as a separate
