Trinidad, Colo.-Ten bodies of the
miners have been removed from the
Southwestern mine of the Rocky
Mountain Fuel Company in the Agui.
lar district. which was the scene of a
gas explosion.
Two biackened and niangled bodies
lie in an undertaking place at Agui'
lar, and eight others in the morgue
here. The body of Leon Cordova,
was the last one removed from the
wrecked north slope
The ten miners, whose bodies have
been recovered. were caught in an ex-
plosion of gas in the mine during a
fifteen minute period when the yenti-
lation fan was shut off. Officials be-
lieve that light from miner S
torch touched off the explosion that
wrecked the mine and killed the ten
men.
The dead are: Leon Cordova, John
konistakis, John Souaginis, Chris
katcicis, Candelaro Trujillo, Tony
Boznan, Roy Gallegos, Luke Lucero,
Alex Johnson, P. F. McKenna.
The body of Cordova was found
within 200 feet of the entrance, indi-
eating that he was making his way
out when caught by the explosion.
Superintendent Morgan Williams Of
the mine had just started out to in
vestigate the shutdown of the venti-
lation fan. But the fifteen minutes
that the fan had not been working,
enough of the deadly gases pene-
trated the shaft, and the light ex-
ploded IT. .e
He was hurled some twenty feet by
the force of the explosion, but was
unhurt.
The air pump was not damaged by
the explosion and was used to clear
the shaft of foul air and pump fresh
air to the rescue workers.
Falls from the wall of the slope
were heavy but the roof in the greater
portion remained intact, greatly facil-
itating the work of rescue.
Eighty men working in gangs and

The underground workers of the

When Gerald Patterson won last

modesty, stated that he would not
consider himself world champion un-
less he also won the American title,
knowing that Tilden and Johnston
had not competed in the tournament.

American to try for the English
championship, almost forty years ago.
Others who have since striven for II
are Larned, Wright. Ward, Davis.

Johnson, Garland and Tilden. AS
everybody knows, Tilden was the first
American to win at Wimbledon, when
he defeated Patterson in the chal-
lenge round in 1920. He successfully
defended his title against Norton in
1921
Johnston is not the only Ameri-

discussed title Vincent Richards

the securing of an option by the
Chevy Chase Club on 400 acres of land
on the Rockville pike may bring to
Washington a golf project as large, IL
not larger, than any now in existence.
Chevy Chase, it has been known for
several years, may eventually be
forced out OF its present property by
heavy increases in taxation.
About two years ago a committee
was empowered to search for a site
to have available. The committee has
been on the job ever since. A few
months ago a rumor was current that
the property across the Rockville
pike, directly west of the present club
property, was to be purchased, but
this had no foundation.
