Philadelphia, Sept. 14.-Nine work.
men are known to be dead and more
than a dozen injured as the result of
an explosion this afternoon among
oil tanks Of the Atlantic Refining
Company in the southwestern part of
this city. Firemen believe the death
list will reach ten or more. Fire fol-
lowed the explosion, but was confined
to the immediate vicinity of the ex-
plosion.
Six bodies were taken to the
morsue, two are at hospitals and one
was lying in a tank beyond the reach
of firemen, making the known dead
nine. Several of the injured were so
badly burned they are expected to die.
The explosion occurred in a battery
Of high pressure oil tanks from an
undetermined cause. Many men sur
rounded the tanks when the blast oc-
Cured. Flames shot 200 feet in the
air. This is the third serious fire at
the plant Withtn month";, the nrst
occurring August IA when FIVE men
were killed.
The terrific explosion drenched
workmen with flaming oil before they
could leap to safety, killing several
instantly. Others employed farther
back from the tanks were sprayed
with the soaring petroleum and pain
fully injured. Only prompt action
by the company's organized rescue
squads prevented the death list from
mounting higher, witnesses declared.
A dense pail of smoke accompan-
led the first blast, making it diff
cult for the rescuers to reach men
who were frantically trying to save
themselves ircm being burned to
DEATH
Many of the men work in under
groudn tunnels where fires that boil
the crude product into naphta are
maintained. Some of the dead were
trapped in these tunnels by verita-
BILE rivers of liquid fire loose upon
them by the blast.

reply, as approved today, is not likely

the week 1t was not, as reported in
some quarters. delivered yesterday to
Premier Lloyd George. The mission
of Harry Boland and Joseph Nc
Grath was simply to clear up certain
questions with the premier before the
delivery of the formal reply.s
Nothing has leaked out as to wheth-
err the reply is acceptance or non ac-
ceptance of the invitation to a confer
encc but the fact that five Irish plen-
ipctentiaries have been appointed is
taken as indicating confidence in con-
tinuance of the negotiations.
Mr.. Lloyd-George is expected to re-

Third Baseinan
OF Boston Reds
Writes A rticle
Third Baseman Of the Beston'
Red Sex. -.-.
BY OSCAR WITT.

Third Baseman of the Boston
Red Sex.
When a batter has had two
strikes called on Hm the third
baseman Is safe IN playing far
back of the sack. or. as We say.
deep. In fact. that is the thing
for him to do, l think.
Why? For this reasen:
The batter won't bunt, the
next being his third strike. What
he will do doubtless, Is hammer
the ball for all it's worth. The
fielders should be all set for
such a drive and play pretty far
back in their territory. Not too
far, but little more than usual.
Some third basemen absolutely
refuse to play deep. But most
always play far back because I
believe / then have q chance of
gettipg more balls that come my
way and because / can cover
moro ground.
As the different men come to
bat you will notice that the
fielders shift their positions.
Each batter, you see. has one
particular spot where he usually
lands a ball. and the helders,
knowing this spot, try to cover
II and yet keep the other parts
of the field we'll guarded for
something unexpected.

Sam and Eddie
Are Thrilled
In Spooky Cave

(Second day of The Finding Of
Pard.")
It was at o'clock sharp Sat-
urday morning that Sam Ar
buckle hurried around to Eddie
Clark's house and gave the sig
nal-a long. drawn-out whistle,
followed by two sharp, shrill
ones
BE with you in two sakes Of
a lambs tall" answered Eddie
from the kitchen window. at the
same time reaching to unite the
apron strings about his neck.
Breakfast dishes are q bother,
aren't they? And 1t was not
more than three shakes OF the
same lambs tail that the two
boys, barefoot. were plodding
merrily toward Porter's woods.
Dolan's cave and-something
they weren't expecting.
Porter's was a real woods.
Trees and underbrush grew
thick. 1t was just like you read
about in Indian stories.
Trickling cheerfully in and out
among the trees was Dolan's
creek, and almost in the heart
of the small, rocky hills that
followed the course of the little
stream, was that much-storied
place, Dolan's cave.
According to Dad Hornblower.
self-appointed historian of North
vale. Dolan's cave had a history.
Its the very place." Dad used
to tell, shifting the wad of chew
ing tobacco from one cheek to
the other. "whar old man Dolan
and his wife and three kids was
massacred by the redskins when
this ysre territory was over
run by EN-" And what's more,
Dad affirmed that the spirit of
Mr.. Dolan fingered about the
spot =
Little wonder. then, that Eddie
and Sam, having never ventured
near the cave before. looked for
ward to tho exploration with no
little excitement. Who wouldn't?
Just a short while after leav-
ing Eddie's house the two ar
rived at that part of the woods
where the cave was located. No
time was lost in finding the en-
trance. for it was in plain sight,
the ground near by being rocky
and offering no chance for vege-
tation to grow.
But now we've found it," said
Eddie, mopping his perspiring
brow, what do we do?"
Explore it, you fish-what'd
we come for. huh?"
So they made ready.

TUESDAY, MAY -, 1Bz1.
Astrologers read this as a doubtful
day in which the planetary aspects
are hidden and uncertain in their
effects on humanity.
AT this time there may be an un-
usual spell of heat that brings with
IL a scourge of insects that will
make themselves felt later.
The aspect seems to foreshadow
many heated debates in Congress
and divisions over important ques-
tons of national policy.
Women at this time come under a
sway making for a revival of the
domestic instincts. The seers de-
clare that having attained to po-
litical equality they will have a
tendency to revert to ancient tasks.
While what appears to be a reac-
tionary tendency Is apparent, there
will be real progress going on. IL
the seers read the stars Alright and
there will be a gradual readjust-
ment that will be beneficial to all
domestic relations.
The Moon meets the square OF
Mars and Jupiter in the horoscope Of
the King or Norway at this time
and he may have difficulties with
other powers.
