Yesterday. relieving Richardson in

whipped the ball over the plate at

heaviest hitters on the Minneapolis
aggregation. Only one man earned
first base on him in the three innings

and a boot yielded a pair of Miller
markers in the first round. another

pitch and hit caused a run in the

Richardson's wildness is all that

Richardson and Bernbrock slaved the
last three innings. The southpaw
looked as good this time as he had on
his previous tryout, pitching in clever
fashion after walking the first man

Miller Shows Speed.
Offensive honors were divided be-
tween Leftfielder Miller and Harris.
Harris went to center in place OF
Wooley when EEan reported in con-

asset was his speed. Crossing up the
opposing battery. he laid down the
first ball pitched and was crossing
first base before the ball could be
fielded. Then he stole second. Har'
ris was the only player on either side
to connect for more than one hit. He

STATE GUARD PLANS
Continued from Page One)

Rod Additional training for numerous
guard artillery units soon will be in pro-
gress at the various officers training
camps. At least battalion of field ar
tillery has been ordered to each camp in
order that the artillery officer candidates
for the national army may have the
means of learning the things they must
later teach to the new forces. In the
process, valuable training will be given to
the guard battaions as well which will
stand them in good stead when they
reach France.
The greatest problem that faces the
war department is to find supplies for
the steadily increasing host of national
guardsmen which moves to it's mobila-
ton camps some time in July or
August.
State officials have ben notified that
it is impossible to fill acquisitions for
new equipment that have been pouring
in. The first force to be made ready
must be the regular army, expanded to
800 900. The officers training camps,
where $4,000 men are under arms will
also have absorbed an enormous guam
tity of reserve equipment.
A careful inspection of all equip
ment in the hands of the national guard
is being made to ascertain the prime
necessities of the force when 1t is fed
eralized.- Fortunately. much of the i'm
pediment necessary was supplied during
the border mobilization and will serve
until more can be procured.
Guard regiments now have wagon
trains, a thing they never possessed
before the border trouble. When the
regiments go to France. however, the
government will be able to supply them
with full motor transport as it has all
ready sought bids for more than 10000
motor trucks of various kinds
The government, it was learned to-
night already is taking steps to look
after the comfort of the troops in
France in addition to its regular mill
tary preparations. The state depart
ment has asked that the French duty
on tobacco be RENTED for supplies sent
to the American forces there. Great
Britain secured a similar agreement at
the outbreak of the war as the high
French duties, if imposed ON soldiers
Injuries, would have been almost pro-
hibitive.

FRED TURNER
SERIOUSLY HURT
IN EXPLOSION

Fred A. Turner, who runs a small
shop at the rear of the Stewart car
riage shop on Charles street, was bad
ly injured Friday afternoon by the
blowing UP of a tank which he was fill
ing with acetylene gas. The explosion
occurred at 2.40 and was heard all over
the street. Headquarters Officer Harold
p. Davis was on Spring street in front
e lhe c. E. Morse Granite and Marble
works when he heard it and he ran
quickly through the street. Mr.. Turner
had been reached by Lawrence Byrnes
and Mr. Davis called 20 a woman there
to get doctor as quickly as possible
and in the meantime they did what they
could for the injured man. DR.. l.. G..
Bunker was soon there and Turner was
removed to his office where it was
found that his left arm had been badly
burned. his head had been cut on the
left side and the muscle of the left arm
had been punctured by piece of iron.
He was covered with SCOT as a result
of the explosion and his face and arms
were perfectly black. His eyes were
also filled with what appeared to be a
scale from the iron and they had to
be treated His wounds were dressed
by the doctor and he was removed to
his room in the Dickinson block on
Charles street and it is expected that
he will be able to be about again in a
few days. So far as could be seen the
only damage to the shop was the blow
ing to pieces of the cylinder which he
was filing. The explosion startled the
people in that vicinity and for a time
everyone thought that some Of the
