ANOTHER EXPLOSION
 AT STEEL PLANT
One Workman Killed and Fifteen Others Injured in Second Acci-

dent at Redington Factory.
 South Bethlehem, Pa, Dec. 11.-An explosion yesterday in fuse plant of the Bethlehem Steel company at Red ington, six miles from here, killed one workman and injured fifteen others, several of them seriously. The acci- dent occurred in the pellet depart ment of the plant and resulted, it is said, from a spark at a die communi- eating with quantities of powder in the room
 Philip Adams of Easton, Pa, was the man killed. The injured were brought to St. Luke's hospital in this city. The injuries consist mainly of burns, but all will probably recover, it is believed.
 The room in which the explosion occurred was badly damaged. All the employees who were at work in ad- joining departments and buildings were sent home for the remainder of the day.
 Information regarding the explos- ion was for a time difficult to ob- tain, officials of the Bethlehem Steel company in this city maintaining their usual silence as to what occurred within the plant. When word of the explosion was telephoned here. all available ambulances of the steel works were immediately rushed to Redington and the injured quickly brought to this city. The fuse plant employs several hun dred men who are at present en- ployed chiefly in making shell fuses for the entente allies. This is the second explosion that has occurred at the Redington plant in nearly four months. On August 20 ten men were burned by a powder flash.

DIME BASEBALL
WILL HELP GAME,
SINCLAIR SAYS
Owner of Newark Federal
League Team Defends
Drastic Reduction.

One million dollars as a war fund
and dime are closely related in base
ball under sweeping changes in the
family of fans brought about by the
Federal Leagues adoption of l0-cent
bleachers, quarter seats in covered
pavilions and half dollar grandstands.
Harry F. Sinclair, owner Of the New
ark club, was the first TO introduce
dime bleachers and reduce grandstand
prices. According to James A. Gilmore,
pres dent Of the Fedora League, at
tendances four times greater than un-
der the old scale Of prices and actual
cash receipts in excess Of those al any
park in The East were the answer in
the first week of the test.
Although the Federal League presi-
dent has long advocated a reduction in
prices, the Newark magnate was the
first to defy big league traditions in
the Eastern Office Of the Federal
League yesterday Mr.. Sinclair ex-
planned the popular price idea as ap-
piled to baseball and told of personal
Investigations which Influenced him in
favor of the radical change of policy.
Remembering that every one who
ever introduced anything of actual
merit was criticised, | fear nothing on
lUAl SthIFs SdlO WI. NiICldll. Even
i'm baseball those responsible for in
nova.ions that stood the test Of time
and became parts Of the game itself
were ridiculcd. ! recall how bitterly
the foul strike rule was attacked.
"The dime bleachcrs shocked some Of
the old guard. but the talk of cheapcu-
ing baseball is silly. Thousands Of
men who have never been interested
enough in big league baseball to pay
the old scale Of prices have been at
tractcd 10 the Newark Park; the fans
who formerly paid quarter for
blcacher seats are grateful for the
chance TO sit with roof over their
heads and watch the games.
The 50-cent Crsndstand has caught
the popular fancy, too, and fans are
coming oftcncr and bringing their
friends. On a recent afternoon when
we were playing a double-header |
went to the bleacherS and sat with the
spectators there More than half Of
the blcachcr patrons were grown-ups,
and from comments heard IL was easy
20 realize that the l0-cent bleachers
had brought a new and needed element
into baseball"
