Congregational and Trinity, Westmin-
ster, Christian. United PRESBYTERIAN.
The first game of the evening be
tween the Catholics and the local
high school team, was OF whirlwind
style. and showed lots OF pep. The
high school lads were handicapped
bit by the absence of McQuoid ana
Davidson, but the rest Of the sqtNlu
were in good form, and showed con-
siderable improvement in their style
OF play since the last few games OF
the season. The st. Peters team had
also several old high school stars IN
the lineup, so It was good deal IKE
the fast alumni game here during the
holidays. During the first ten min
utes. the high school had the lead.
but with some consistent shooting on
the part Of King and Crimmtns, the
lead was soon gained and kept to the
finish.
The high school will have material
next year for another record breaking

London, Jaa. 25.-The official casu-
atty total of the past year in the
mines and quarries of Great Britain
is 1870 killed and 1S4,202 injured, &C.
cording to a blue book issued by tho
Home Office.
The number returned as "%injured,'
large as it seems, includes only
those who were disabled for a period
of eight days or more. d. b,
Altogether there are employed in
mining in this country 1,236,211 per-
sons, of whom 926,359 work under
ground. %, ...
The Blue Book reports that a gain
in safety in mining is to be noticed
over a long period of years, btu the
gain is so slow as to be almost i'm
perceptible. The oath rate, figured
per million tons of coal or minerals
raised, was 5.S1 last year, as compar.
ed with 7.44Y 80 years ago.
The past year included n grea;
disaster-that at Senghenydd, Wales,
where 439 lives wer lost. It is noted
that the disasters from explosions
were nearly all in South Wales.
There were no fatalities from fire
damp or coal dust in North Wales or
in four principal coalmining districts
of England. Most of the deaths in
those districts wree due to fall Of

ualty list, but also in the records of
awards during the year of the Ed

Praise For Gibbons.
The Hammond scrapper naturally
wasn't pleased with the result Of the
contest, but ne offered no excuse for
his defeat. He handed out a lot OF
praise for Gibbons and declared that

Eddie McGoorty will probably get
the next bout with Gibbons, and from

Milwaukee. 1t appears that the Brew.
cry City promoters are not anxious
for this match, while Mike Collins,
who promotes the Hudson contests,
is just "dippy'' over it. Collins con-
ferred with McGoorty at Milwaukee
on Thursday and the Oshkosh miller
accepted the terms offered. Collins
also talked with Gibbons after the
Clab5y bout and the phantom" TOLD
him to &C ahead and arrange the bout,
to take place within a month, so it
looks as if everything was set for the

Collins claims he can seat 1900
people in his Hudson arena, and that
he can get an average of IS for the
tickets.

prived. of his most effective deliver;
il such a rule had been passed. Spit.
ball pitchers, however, made no "a
tempt to mutilate the ball. This wa
the saving feature of the delivery.
1t is different with the emery ball.
When emery is used to rub One side
Of the ball the cover is scratched.
This bars the delivery under the rules,
for it is specifically stated that the
ball shall not be mutilated in any way
Fines have been assessed against
pitchers for soiling a new ball on the
grass. Rubbing a ball in the dirt to
roughen and discolor it is mild COM
pared to rubbing it with emery paper
So long as the same effect a be de-
livered without the use of emery,
there is little danger that the objec.
tions to delivery will be sustained by
the authorities.
Puzzle at Present.
The emery BALI is as important
a discovery for the pitchers who use
it as the spitball ever was. 1t is
quite necessary to invent some new
wrinkle every once in a while or the
batters would get the better of the
argument. In time it will be quiet
easy perhaps fer the batters to slam
out the emery ball to all corners OF
the lot, but at, present it is a big puz'
zie.

Company Fl had previously defeated
the home guard at Jamestown by a

Bismarck company was out to avenge
this defeat but without success. At
times in the second half the conflict
represented a German English setto of
modern warfare and intercollegiate
rules were passed up in favor of the
hardest kind Of a tussel on both sides.
Only four fouls were called by the
referee, a pair Of muscues being
checked up against each team. The
mad scramble which was permitted by
the official in charge kept the score
down and open play was at a prem

The discovery, ec"ordins to Billy

The Sox veteran, though, has no OBJ
lection to a vague descrip ion of the
substitute for "emery.' The ball Will
not have to be scratched. he says, and
the cover mutilated like it was with
emery paper. The substitute can be
placed on the smooth surface of the
ball without any extra motion that
would attract the attention of the i1t-

bail is pitched Wi hout anyone being
