Annapolis Boy Loses Eye and Hand.
piedmont Journal-Banner.)

piedmont Journal-Banner.l
Monroe Slusher, 6-year.old Anna
polls youth, the son of George Slush-
or, suffered the loss of his left eye,
the loss of the fingers and thumb of
his left hand and suffered painful
mutiIation Of his right hand and about
his face and body, Saturday, when a
dynamite cap which he held in his
left hand exploded. The boy had in
his possession dozen or more Of the
caps which he had found in shed
used by road contractors for the stor-
age OF fdynamite and other materials.
The injured boy was brought to
Piedmont Sunday and remained here
until the following day under the care
of local physicians. Hopes were held
that the sight Of the eye could be
partially restored, but DR.. VIM.
spaulding, an eye specialist, of Pop
lar Bluff, pronounced that nothing
more than to save the eye ball could
be done, and that the loss Of the sight
would be total.
1t is said that the shed in which the
explosives were stored was left un-
locked, and there was nothing left to
Indicate warning of the danger at
hand. Since the accident it is learned
that for several days small boys had
been playing with dynamite fuse and
caps taken from the shed.
The Service Construction Company
| is Poplar Bluff concern. 1t is said
that the superintendent in charge Of
| the construction work at Annapolis
disappeared from Annapolis immedi-
ately after the accident.

BIC FIVE
BEATS EAST
CHICAGO

In one.ot the fastest professional
basketball games played in the CaIu-
met region. the Last Chicago Club
team were defeated last night By the
r. j. Cars Big Chicago Five with
score OF IS TO i9
The Chicago team admitted that il
y as the hardest and closest game they
had ever played. One OF the Visiting
players said: II the game had lasted
another i've minutes. | have my doubt.
II We could have won" This boy told
the truth for in tho Last two minutes
OF the game. basket after basket was
scored by the Club team from any 10
sition on the moor ana for a while 1t
looked as though the home boys might
tie the score.
Both teams nut up good defensive
game. Very few baskets were made
from a close position. From the c~-
IRENE right and left OF center were
considered good locations to throw.
The marksmanship of the visiting
team. however, was far superior OF the
local boys throwing. A veteran team
OF professional, selected from every
team in the Chicago district, compos-
ed the Cars Big Five lineup. a team
with a national reputation and with
a world record in baskelna-, playing.
In the first half Of the game it was
evident that a few of the younger set
Of the East ChIca go team were IN
nerved. The inexperience of meeting
UP with veteran players for the time
being had placed distrust in their
ability and the Club lost ont in carly
scoring. At the end q this half the
score stood to 4, in favor Of Chicago.
Having gained confidence. the Club
buckled down 10 business in the last
half. With 3 few fresh members in
the lineup. the boys appeared prirned
to win. The Chicago team changed
their tactics by trying to tire out the
local boys by passing the ball across
the floor instead OF playing for the
basket. This stunt did rot bother the
home boys much and coon lost its
favor among the visitors The ad-
vantage gained in tho hrst half by
the Chicago team was still retained by
them.
While the Big Five ortweighed the
Club players by 60 pounds TO tho man,
the little fellows did not hesitate to
tussel with the big fellows to the end.
1t is not fair TO discriminate in the
Clubs players, they all did exceptional
in this game Tho box score:
With Maruusrdt. former Northwest
ern star, sinking five Geld goals. the
Chicago Big Five defeated the East
