After 10 hours of splendid work, res
cuers succeeded at 10 o'clock yester-
day morning in bringing from the in
ner recesses of the Marvel mine the
last two bodies of Is mine workers who
were killed by the gas explosion Sun
day afternoon. 1t was a horrible sight
for the hundreds of people who watched
in groups at the mouth of the mine to
see the corpses, burned by the flames
of gas and mang.ed by the flying
masses of wood, iron, coal and slate
that the explosion set into mad fury
Three more We're added to the first
list of the victims during the early
hours of Monday morning. In addition
to the Is known to have been en-
tombedi by the holocaust were added the
names of two white men, H. F. Low
rey and Dave Purvis; and one negro.
Kinney Martin bringing the number
of white dead to IL and the colored
to seven. But the disaster caused 10
men to perish, as George Jones, a
white miner from Garnsey, was killed
by a fall from a ladder on an. escape

EVANS UNDER WEATHER

Evans was somewhat off in his morn
ing game as result of pet" on the
back of his neck in the shape of boil.
He had also had some fever during the
night, but by lunch time he was feeling
fit again and said he was crazy to go
over the Roebuck course again. He said
he knew he could do it under 10. Both
of the visitors promised to come back
to Birmingham when they could stay
longer.
AS an indication of the interest in the
game in Birmingham, many of the best
known men In town followed both games,
making the trip over the two courses.
There was also a larger gallery of la
dies. Incidentally, the course at Roe
buck is 1892 yards long and 1t is claimed
there is only. one other longer course in
the world.
SPEND BUSY DAY
The party of visitors arrived at
o'clock yesterday morning and were
given a breakfast at the Tutwiler,
which was attended by R. H. Baugh, w.
w. Crawford H. G. Seibles, Maj. E. M.

MYSTERY OF EXPLOSION

The mystery of the explosion was not
solved by the visits of the rescue crews
into the bowels of the earth. 1t will be
several days before the experts can as
certain the facts for, though the eager
workers reached the scene of the disas-
ter, they did not construct permanent
brattices or provide >or a faultless cir
culation of air, The..A desired only to
get to the dead men.
The explosion is said to be due to q
combustion of a pocket of gas, but in
view Of the safe reports of the inspec-
tors from day to day, and even upon
the morning of the holocaust, it cannot
be imagined how gas accumulated there
in such quantity. The opinion was ex-
pressed that the recent earthquake must
have caused a fissure In the earth. and
thereby provided a means of entry to
the death-dealing fumes.
The scene where the greatest number
of the victims lost their lives, most in
tense in it's force, was in the twelfth left
entry Ten men were in the trip at
this point.
DEAD BADLY MANGLED
One. of the dead there was literally
torn limb from limb by the explosion,
his head being dismemb cred. as we'll as
foot and an arm. Great pieces of flesh
were shot off. Nearby these victims at
the time of the explosion were seven or

FIRST BODIES RECOVERED

The first two bodies were recov-
cred from the debris of the inner en-
tries and brought to the opening OF
the mine at 10 o'clock Sunday night.
These were w. B. Freeman and a ne
gro helper Though the rescue par
ties worked with all speed to reach
the other entombed men, it was not
until 5 o'clock yesterday morning that
the next corpse were brought to the
mouth of the slope At 10 o'clock the
mangled bodies of H. f. Lowery and
Dave Purvis were brought up by the
rescuers.
The bodies, SO badly mangled and
dismembered by the explosion that they
were hardly recognizable, were placed
in wooden boxes and carried into the
machine shop that became a morgue
for the grief-stricken mining camp.
With DR.. Glenn Vance, the mine ply
stefan, and George Ellis, the camp
storekeeper, in charge of the task
of preparing the bodies of the mine
workers for the last sad rites that
rude shrine became the center of in
terest of the heavy hearted community.
nifty
Today the majority of the victims
will be inferred by their kin and kith
A special train bearing the remains Of
a number of the dead was run from
Marvel to Blocton yesterday afternoon
After the first body had been retrieved
from the mouth of the slope, which
seemed like a dark grim spectre, the
hundreds of miners from Piper, Coleaner
Blocton and Garnsey-spent by the long,
morbid task-returned to their homes to
forget In sleep the horrible scenes en-
acted during the rescue work.

Defines Amateurs Again.

The definition of an amateur as "a sportsman who engages in sport solely for the pleasure and physical, mental or social benefit he derives therefrom, and to whom sport is nothing more than an avocation, D was adopted.
 All the amendments relating to the disbarment, pardoning and re- instatement of athletes who trans gress the rules, which were enacted here last January. were adopted. An attempt to make it imperative that all delegates to the annual meetings should be amateurs in good standing caused a heated dis cussion and was voted down.

John Henry Wagner, by a late season slump. slipped out of the 300 class. The old boys ambition to bat 300 at forty-two years was crimped in the stretch. He couldn't quite make it. And yet there were 175 ballplayers listed in the Ma tional League last season and 174 of these were younger than Honus. At the end of the campaign Wag- ner was in tenth place. There were nine who beat him out, but there were 165 that Wagner beat. To finish No. 10 at forty-two years among 175 starters is no part of a record to grieve over even though he failed to be listed with the sev- en who batted above the historic mark.
