TO SAVE LIFE in MINES

lion miners in the United States more
man a hundred thousand are well
trained in emergency first-aid work
and have been instrumental in saving
MANY lives in and around mines. It
is said to be frequent occurrence for
bospital surgeons upon receiving an
injured miner to declare that the FIRST
aid treatment received in the mine
from the miners had undoubtedly
saved the mans life.
These first-aid teams are scattered
throughout the United States where
mines are found, and are the results
Of the pioneer work Of the bureau OF
mines in maintaining mine-rescue
car or station in each Of the mining
fields for the purpose of training these
men.
In addition to this work, the bu-
reau's experts teach the miners how
TO save life in mines, and especially

In the last nine campaigns, since he
first gained recognition as a regular
player in fast company, McInnis has
failed but twice to bat better than 300.
His successful campaign last season
with the worlds champions witnessed
his lightest hitting performance. He
batted only .272 in Boston. Once be-
fore, only, he failed to qualify in the
charmed circle. That was in 1916.
He dubbed for .295 that year as a
member Of the Athletics. But it was
only a remnant of the old machine
with which Connie Mack had won four
championships and three world cham
pionships. McInnis at the time was
the sole survivor of the illustrious
hundred thousand dollar infield."
Best Hitting Year.
In 1912, the year Jake Stahls Red
Sox nosed out the Athletics, McInnis
had his best hitting year. .327, and
that year, too, he stole the most bases,
q. The next year, when the Quakers
beat the Giants for the second time
| in the worlds series, MclnniS hit
1926. In 1911 he dubbed .321. He hit
.314 in each Of the seasons of 1914
end 1915, and 1903 in 1917, his last
year with the Athletics. 1t can be
seen, then, that Stuffy is consistent
as we'll as a brilliant hitter.
McInnis was one Of many brilliant
phenoms unearthed and schooled by
Connie Mack for the purpose OF re-
construction after his great team OF
19O5-which was beaten by McGraw's
Giants in the worlds series-had gone
to seed. The list included such other
illustrious personages as 'Home Run
Baker, Jack Barry and Eddie Collins
all of them still In the game and 60
ing strong as ever, apparently.

REGRET PASSING OF CRUISE

Charley Horse.

Many st. Louis fans will regret the
passing of Walter Cruise from the Car
dinals to Boston as Wally has played
great ball from time to time, especially
in 1917, when he led the league in hit
ting for several months.
Miller Higgins picked up Cruise in
the spring Of 1914, while the Cardinals
were training In Jacksonville, Fla.
Wally was with the Jacksonville club
at that time and made such an impress
sion on Hug that he brought the out
fielder home with him. Wal!y failed
to stick, Higgins sending him to St.
Paul. Cruise made good there and was
recalled. He sprung charley horse

John (Stuffy) McInnis, first baseman
OF the worlds champion Boston Red
Sox, has been for many years now
past one Of the striking wonders Of
the game. If one were looking for
first baseman among crowd OF uni
formed men on the bench McInnis Is
about the very last man he would sus-
pect Of class for the position. Phys
ically he is living refutation, in APP
pearance, Of everything good first
sacker is supposed to be in these
times Of highly developed specialties.
ITO begin with he is a chunky look
ing fellow who bellies his five feet ten
inches. He is somewhat deliberate Of
action off the field. His arms are
short and he does not appear possessed
of the reach or "stretch" which has
come to be associated with the first
base type. He is right-handed throw
er in day when southpaws are in
demand for the position.
Class of First Basemen.
Yet McInnis comes very near to be-
ing the class of first basemen of the
American League, circuit which
boasts Of a number Of rare profess
SIGNALS of exceptional merit, Wally
Pipp and George Sisler among them,
the last two mentioned Of the south
paw variety of course.
To begin with McInnis is one OF the
niftiest and surest infielders Of the
game, for If he lacks any way in phys.
ical handicaps he more than makes
up for the deficiency in agility. And
IL he foozles a wild throw now and
tthen that a bigger mana Chase OF
a Pipp-might get he more than makes
up the difference in the deadly puncf
he carries at bat. For McInnis is
800 hitter in every accepted sense OF
the word.
