Tennessee Mine
Attracts Kenoshans1
Albert Fl, Kluender, J. Bullamore and
Others Leave Kenosha Today to In
vestigate Mining Proposition.

When the "Dixie Flyer starts on
its southern trip from Chicago today
it will carry several Kenosha men to
Chattanooga, Tenn, where they will
investigate the mines of the Chicago
Tennessee Coal and Oil Company. AL
bert Fl. Kluender, who has been inter-
ested in the project for some time, is
one of the leaders of the Kenosha men
who will be on the inspection tour.
With the Kenosha men will be two
representatives of the American Brass
Company, one a chemist and the other
from the rolling mills, to inspect the
mine as to its possibilities for a run
of manganese, which is now in great
demand in the brass industry. The
southern mine, in which several Keno
sha men are interested, has recently
shown promise of great runs of both
coal, oil and manganese and this trip
of Kenosha and Chicago men is to plan
for larger exploitation of the venture.
Among the Kenosha men, who will go
to Chattanooga, are: Otto Bloxdorf,
Charles Mink, Ed. Bergman, Michael
Rosing, Frank Joerndt, Stanley Josius
and j. Bullamore of Salem, who is
president of the corporation which
now controls the mining stock.

Quick Aid of Comrades
Saves Men From Death
Pinzi Pado and Richard Rasmussen
Have Narrow Escape from Suf-
location in Sewer Cave-in.

Buried alive but saved from suffoca-
ton by the quick work of their fellow
laborers-that is the near-tragic ex-
perience which came to Pinzi Pado and
Richard Rasmussen shortly before noon
on Friday. The accident occurred in
connection with the construction of a
sewer on Rowland avenue between
Selma and Selleck avenues. The men
We're at work in the ditch and appar-
emily ignorant of any loosening of the
earth around them. Edward Kiel and
Clarence johnson, passersby, saw the
slide coming and tried to warn the
workmen. In this they were unsuc-
eessful but they sounded the alarm
which brought some twenty laborers to
the spot in a very few moments. Di-
rected by low means issuing from the
loose earth they uncovered their com
rades just as they were succumbing to
suffocation. Effective first aid work
soon restored the men but did not ac.
complish their complete recovery
Pado was found to be suffering from
an injury to his side while Rasmussen
was troubled with dislocated wrist
Both men were hurried to the Kenosha
hospital for further treatment. Ras
mussen was dismissed few moments
later, but Pado is still at the hospital
His injury is largely internal, but is
not considered serious.

When Uncle Sam sorted out the COM
missions to the medical department Of
the officers reserve on Thursday, the
skill and technical knowledge Of a
former Kenosha resident, John T. Carr,
was recognized and he was awarded a

the fact that DR.. Carr was one Of the

For two years there has been
feeling in baseball circles that so
long as the Red Sox machine held to-
gether and played the same kind Of
baseball as IL showed In 1915 and
1916 no club on the circuit would be
able 10 beat IT,
Two reasons have been given for
this, both Of which are sound base
ball axloms.
1. The Red Sox have been able 70
beat teams they had 10 beat to WIN
3 The Red Sox have been able TO
play for one run and hold IT,
The first Is an attribute OF only such
a team as the Red SoX, a club COM
posed OF money players who can face
the most crGcial tests without waver-
ing and play better baseball under 4
strain than their opponents.
Last season this was evidenced in
the last series with the Tigers. a ser
les that meant the pennant TO the club
that won. The Tigers broke under the
strain and the Sox went on into the
world series.
The second is based on mechanical
play. With wonderful pitching and
airltight fielding. such as Boston has
had for twi seasons a one-run lead Is
equal 10 a much larger advantage
for some other club.
The best reason for believing that
the White Sox and not the Red Sox
will be on the top Of the heap at the
end of this season is that these rules
are not holding out this year

NEW YORK, July 26.-Benny Icon
ard. the worlds lightweight champion,
stands out today a glittering figure, I'M
doubtedly one Of the greatest cham
pions mis- class ever saw, as a result
Of his victory over Johnny Kilbane, king
of the foatherweights, in three rounds
at Philadelphia.
No man, lightweight or featherweight,
has ever been given a higher rating than
Kilbane. champion in his own class. -Four
times he has stepped into q ring against
another champion. and three times he
has come of victorious. The last time
was last night. when he failed.
In the sumup IT, was q repetition Of
an old storv-a good big man can al
ways beat good little man; 10 was n
repetition ol tho demonstration kilbano
staged when he gave Kid Williams. then
the bantamweight champion. a beating.
Leonard's superior weight, his super
Tor punching and a crafty ring general
shin carried the fight for him. His
terrinic crushing blows were too much
for the great little man he defeated.
Reason would predict that another bout
between the two could have but one
ending another defeat for kibane.
Kilbane. a master at defense. a
morciless punisher when his title has
been threatened. was az the mercy OF

and doubtless himself believed he was
unbeatable in a no decision bout.
Despite his defeat Kilbane is still
