HERRIN, ILL. June 2o.-Half a

lying on deathbcds, tonight gave an
Associated Press correspondents the
first actual eyewitness accounts Of
the mino fight last night and this
morning which brought dozens OF
casualties. when 5000 armed striking
miners attacked the Lester strip
mine, near here, the mine being oper-
ated by imported workers and guards.
The substance of tho statements by
tho wounded, who were among the be-
siegcd, was that not a mine worker
was Injured during the fighting, but
that the numerous killed were shot
down in cold blood after they had
surrendered themselves and their
arms. There was nothing from the
union miners to contradict these
claims.
Operators Responsible.
Several of the men imported to
work the mine absolved the strikers
from blame, saying that the ones re-
sponsible were those who sent US
here under false promises that there
would be no trouble and that the
miners would not object"
Some OF the wounded interviewed
were in the hospital here. Others were
locnted in their homes through secret
channels.

SWIMMING is
GETTING BOOM
FROM COLLEGES
Twenty-ene Institutions Adopt
Sport During Past Season,
Says leuhring.

NJ EW YORK, Dec. 27.-Twen-
~ ty-one colleges and univer-
sites in the United States
took up swimming for the first
time as "a recognized branch of
athletics during 1922, and with
these: additions the total number
of colleges recognizing swimming
is more than 100, Fred w. Lueh-
ring, chairman of the swimming
rules committee, reported to the
National Collegiate Athletic As
sociation at the Hotel Astor. Mr..
Leuhring is director of athletics
at the University of Minnesota.
Foremost among his recommends.
tions as chairman of the swimming
rules committee was that the y. c.
A A. establish full-time paid sec.
retaryship. Among the duties of
the secretary. he urged. would be
editing the various association
guides and handbooks. Last year,
he said. failure to bring out the
swimming handbook was prevented
only by the helpfulness Of Frank
j. Sullivan. OF Princeton. who vol.
nteered to do that work.
Geographically. colleges that took
up swimming officially for the first
time in 1922 ranged from Cooper
Union Tech to the Hawaiian Is.
lands. Mr.. Luehring said. He emu
merated these: ALLEGHENY, Cooper
Union. Tech, Manhattan. Thiel and
Rochester. in the East: Case and
Wooster in the Middle West: in the
South, Clemson. Rollins. Georgia
Tech, Washington and Lee and the
University Of Florida: in the Mis-
souri, Valley, Ames. Kansas Aggies,
Nebraska. Washington University
tSt. Louis. Pacific Coast. Oregon
Aggies, University Of Washington
and Gonzaga. St. Louis College, in
he Hawaiian Islands. was the
other.
Among the outstanding swimming
accomplishments during 1922 he
cited Yale's ninth consecutive vic
tory in the intercollegiate Swim
ming Association and the capture
of the Western Conference cham
pionship by Minnesota, after but
three years in the sport. Mr.. Lueh-
ring said that many high schools
had taken up swimming during 1922.
and that this was especially true
in Minnesota.

Anew YORK, Dec. 27.-Despite
~ the fact that all arrange
2:ments had been completed
for his departure to the Pacific
Coast where he. was to have
coached Leland, Stanford Univer-
sity for the ball team. Glenn S.
Warner will not be released from
his contract at University of
Pittsburgh until the close of the
1923 football season. This de-
veloped at the Hotel Astor this
afternoon preceding the annual
meeting of the American Football
Coaches Association.
The most radical suggestion which
was advanced was sponsored by
John Heisman. former Georgia
Tech coach, who has just com.
pleted. a three-year contract al
Pennsylvania. and who will here.
after serve as director of. ath
letics at Penn.
Heisman's idea is offered as q
solution of the unsatisfactory con
ditions surrounding the playing ol
a tie game in football. His plan
is simply this: At the close of q
tie game each team shall be con
ceded three plays. the total yard
age gained by each team to- de
termine the outcome. One point
would be allowed to the team gain
ing the most /yardage. giving il
the victory. 80.

Mike was ballyhooed so loudly
that he came East in the early six
ties to fight Joe Coburn. This
match was heralded as a clash be-
tween the East and West and, bun
dies of money were wagered. The
WeSterners couldn't see where a
clever fellow like Coburn could
stand before the heavy piledriving
punches of Mike.
REFUSED TO TRAIN.
In my estimation it was really
duel of the oldep days and the
present era with Coburn represent
ing the latter. Coburn, at that.
wasn't the most graceful fighter in
the world, but in this case he knew
JUST a little more than McCoole.
As an idea of how much McCoole
knew of the fine points of fighting,
he was knocked down by a profes-
sor who was hired to instruct him.
Harry Hill, of dance hall fame,
took care of McCoole's training and
engaged a number of trainers, but
Mike wouldn't bother with knowing
how to defend himself. Conse-
quently he was battered around
like football and sent back West
in a. chopped up condition.
The only thing. that Mike didn't
lack was a heart, Though he was
soundly trouneed by Coburn he
didn't stop fighting; but met 'em
all, and then hooked up with Aaron
Jones, an English visitor. In this
scrap Jones did everything in his
power to blind McCoole. for he
was cagey enough to. know that
was the only way he could beat the
Yankee. ..
Aaron made desperate, efforts to
poke his thumbs into McCoole's
eyes, but Mike soon discovered his
purpose, and proceeded, to give.him
cruel lacing. Mike hit Jones
right between the eyes and knocked
him senseless. e .It~.took years for
Jones to recover from that punish
ment. =r...s -, - .t.
MAVERY KILLED IN ROW.
That the atmosphere Of the ring
in those days. was anything but up
lifting was apparent from the ca
reer of Mike after his big battles.
His last fight was with Tom Allen,
who took the one-time idol into
camp in seven rounds, This drove
Mike to the bottle, and he speedily
ran into a fine mess. Down in St.
Louis he got, into a drunken argu-
ment with Patsy Mavery, another
fighter, and in the fight Mavery
was killed. McCoole was arrested,
but eventually the matter was
quashed. :, -
The difference now is that when
a champion, or a fighter of. some
repute: is beaten he doesn't make
the terrible . Mistake of trying TO
drown his sorrow in liquor. Instead
