BUYS PENNANT WINNERS

In late years Manager John j. Me.

somewhat TO the competition OF the
Yankees for the city's patronage has
been forced more and more to 90 into

McGraw has deveioped marvellous
players and has combined them ef-
fectvely in his time. but Of the pres!

be classified as regulars received
their tutelagc from John J. The others
were bought or traded from other major
league clubs or picked up as virtually
finished products from the minors.

Frank Snyder was taken from st.

At first base George Kelly learned
most Of what he knows from McGraw,
as did Frisch. the regular second base
man. At shortstop Captain Davy Ban.
croft came from Philadelphia and at
third base Heine Groh, once Of the
Giants has spent too much time in
Cincinnati to be included among the
home grown.
Nor is McGraw's record bolstered by
the insertion Of Johnny Rawlings into
the inficld. He has been there much Of
the summer. due to the series Of in.
juries to Groh. Frisch has gone from
second to third and Rawlings has
subbed at second. but, like his mate at
shortstop, Rawlings came from the
Quakers.
In the outfeld only Ross Young Is
considered a McGrawite. Irish Meu.

EXPLOSION KILLS
SALVAGE FOREMAN
o. L. HILL LOSES LIFE IN CHAR
LESTON-TWENTY THOUSAND
POUNDS OF POWDER IN BLAST
DOES MUCH DAMAGE-CAUSE
NOT KNOWN.

Charleston, April 13.-O. L. Hill,
white, foreman for the Columbia Sal
wage corporation, was blown into bits
about 1870 o'clock this morning
when an explosion of 10000 pounds
of black powder occurred in an am
munition salvage magazine near the
ordnance depot, North Charleston.
More than so box, cars were damaged
and trackage wrecked. 1t will never
be known what caused the trerrifc
blast.
Fragments of Hills body were COL
lected over a considerable area and
placed in a coffin for interment. His
cap was found about two hundred
yards from the magazine, the walls
of which were made with boxes filled
with sand with canvas roof. Hill
and three negro laborers were seen
about the magazine just before the
explosion. 1t is said that the negroes
were practically unhurt. For many
miles around the explosion was felt.
Glass was shattered in plants in the
suburbs of Charleston.
For some time the salvage company
has been taking black, powder out of
defective or out of date shells, this
powder being placed in metal kegs.
The magazine was not connected with
the magazines of the ordnance de-
partment, but was q considerable dis
tance from the nearest. Where the
salvage magazine stood is a crater 20
feet deep and more than 60 feet
across. Nothing remains of the metal
kegs except fragments.
It is believed that one or two kegs
Of powder were first detonated and
that almost Immediately all the rest
Of the 800 kegs went off with terrible
force. A burning brand fell a short
distance away among a pile Of INT
shells and among those who appre-
ciated the peril there was consterna-
ton. At the imminent risk of their
lives, Chief Thompson of the govern
ment port terminals fire department
and Lieut.. A. L. Viloancey of the
quartermaster corps extinguished the
fire with chemicals.

RAILROAD EARNINGS
SHOW AN INCREASE

Washington, April 13.-Railroads
in the United States-exclusive of
short lines with less than $1,000,000
in gross revenue-earned during
February $47,762,60o according to
interstate commerce commission re-
ports compiled by the Association of
Railway Executives. This compares
with an operating deficit of $5,176,-
867 during the same month in 1921,
and is represented as sufficient to in
dicate an annual return rate of 4.57
per cent on the value of property in
vestment in transportation facilities.
Revenues from operating for the
month amounted to S401, 1926, 900 or
1.3 per cent less than comparative
receipts year ago, but operating
expenses mounted DO $324,423,o00,
which was 1873 per cent less. In

This increase in traffic was parti-
cularly marked in tho eastern dis
trict, where revenues were actually
in excess of February 1921, but less

west made the estimated annual
earning rate there respectively 3.s8

By themselves, the eastern car

Greenwood to Build Link to Able.

Greenwood to Build Link to Able.
vile County Line
Work will be started soon on the
Greenwood end of the road between
Greenwood and Abbeville. This will
link Greenwood up with the State
system.
Greenwood County got a twenty
five thousand dollar appropriation to
be used in this work on a fifty-ffty
basis, and in addition to this the far
mers along the route have subscribed
$4,000.
Greenwood was lucky to get the
appropriation at this time, as this
amount was all that was left of
South Cardinals quota mp to the first
Of July this year. 1t would then have
reverted back to the government and
been given to some other state which
would qualify on the fifty-ffty basis.
The road for one mile out Of the
city of Greenwood is to be hard-sur-
face road. Abbeville County has
about completed her part Of the
road.

NAVIGATION MAY
HELP: PAY EXPENSES

Washington, April 13.-Between
sS,0OO,OOO and $25,00O,000 Of the
money required to complete the
Muscle Shoals, Ala, water power
project program can he charged .di-
rectly to navigation improvements
on the Tennessee river, and sub
tracted from the sum needed for
other developments in the shoals
territory, it was announced today
before the Senate agriculture COM
mittee.
Col. w. j. Barden, army engineer,
in charge Of the Sheffield Ala, dis
trict said government engineers had
recommended $s,5o0.000 for naviga-
tion improvements in the river in the
vicinity Of Muscle Shoals but the ex-
act amount chargeable to navigation
could not be definitely fixed when
considered as part Of a lump sum
for financing all developments at
Muscle Shoals.
In considering the question Of de-
veloping the shoals project, Senator
Norris, Nebraska, declared Congress
should differentiate between those Of
an industrial character and others
that would ordinarily be considered
as river and harbor improvements.
Col. Barden said, IN concluding his
testimony, that engineers believed
the traffic would justify the expendi-
ture they had recommended.
Both Chairman Norris and Col.
Barden agreed that navigation
should be opened to Chattanooga.

nance bureau, told the committee
the War Department had decided
to salvage Nitrate Plant No. 1 and
