manager since the beginning of the
1912 season. Failure to produce a
winning team brought about his re-

Dale Gear has been one of the most
popular managers on the Western

an iron clad contract which practical

waived provisions that the board of
directors might procure another man
in an effort to give the fans of the city
a better baseball representation. Gear

Both vessels were soon able to pro-
ceed on their way however, the New
York west and the Pretoria east.
Passengers who were nearly all
asleep at the time of the collision
rushed on deck, but there was no
panic, the officers and crew assuring
every one that there was no danger.
Upon the orders of Captain Roberts,
the bulkheads of the New York were

Captain Roberts blew two long
blasts repeatedly for five minutes
prior to the collision. These whistles
indicated that the New York had
stopped. Suddenly there was a
crash. succeeded by a sharp tearing
sound as the steel plates and wood
work of the New York weres battered
by the Pretoria's sharp bow.
Passengers Laugh and Joke.
Fortunately the watch. which oc-

of the ship which was crushed in. was
on duty in the stoke hole. Had the
collision occurred otherwise a num-

After the passengers had been as
sured they were in no danger they
began to laugh nd joke over the
queer costumes in which some Of the
travellers appeared on deck. The
passengers refused to return to their
cabins until daylight. After it had
been learned that no serious damage
had been done to the ships, they pro-
ceeded on their way.
