NO ONE RESPONSIBLE
FOR AZ DEATHS IN
MINE DISASTER

As is usual in cases where re
sponsiblity would seem to attach TO
the owners Of powerful Industries.
the committee appointed by the gov
ernor of California TO investigate the
Argonaut mine disaster has been I'M
able to fix the blame, although it very
adroitly admits that new (minel
regulations are not necessary, but
that the enforcement of those now
in force should be made effective"
Does it not appear, then, that if the
mine officials did not observe the ex-
listing laws and disaster occurred
taking the lives of AZ miners, the mine
officers should be held accountable p
San Franeiseo.-A committee ap-
pointed by the governor reports that
it is impossible to place the respon-
sibility for the Argonaut mine disas-
ter on August 81, 1922, when AZ
workers lost their lives.
The committee is not sure of the
cause of the fire, but is inclined to one
of two ies-incendiarism or de-
fective electric wiring. The mine
company officials are sure the fire was
the work Of an unknown incendiary.
The committee wants it understood
that it does not desire to 'unduly cen
sure" anyone, while calling attention
to how the loss of life could be re-
duced. 1t is stated that new orders or
regulations are not necessary, but
that enforcement of those now in
force should be made effective.
at would appear to the committee
that the conditions which led to the
fire resulting in the great loss of life,
were not exactly in strict accord with
modern and up-to-date methods, "
says the report. 1T would further
appear that attention to detail with
regard to the training of men and the
provision of safety devices to be
utilized by trained men,, in case OF
disaster or necessity, was lacking
Also, while the safety regulations &C
cording to law were perhaps, COM
piled with insufficient attention was
given to the provision of fire-fighting
appliances such as could be used fol
the protection of life and property.
"If the men directly in charge oil

the shift bosses, level bosses, anC
Others, had been trained in the use o.
fre-fghting appliances under condi
lions which might overtake them al
any time, better directed effort
could have been made with a more
satisfactory result than. is shown b!

COAL BARONS
GOUGED; PEOPLE
WERE HELPLESS

A reactionary congress and senate,
sore because the people got tired of
its pandering to big interests and
retired a majority of the offenders
could have prevented the profteerng
in coal during the past year if it had
been disposed &c do so. But il didn't.
The coal mine owners are a part of
the Wall Street crowd, and as the
part congress was owned by the same
outfit, what could you expect? There
may be some relief when the new con-
gress, with progressives replacing the
discharged reactionaries, convenes.J
New York.-The coal situation the
past winter called for 'the big stick, >
but that weapon was not forthcoming,
according to General George w. Goe-
thals, who has finished his work as
New York state fuel administrator.
The army man was caustic in his
criticism of federal officials, and es-
peically of congress, because Of its
inaction in last winters coal crisis.
THE situation is a national one"
said Geenral Goethals. Whenever you
have a situation of this sort there is
only one power that can handle it.
The federal government should have
the power to inspect at the mines,
handle prices and direct distribution.
In fact, the law says that is what il
shall do. But if you give a man job
you have got to give him authority.
"The federal government organized
a fuel administration which had no
authority. 1t gave the power to the

quasi judicial body which never acts
Long ago | defined a commission or a
board as something that was long
narrow and wooden. If you want
anything done you have got to put
man in charge equal to his reSpon-
sibility."

YANKEES LIKELY TO
SET COUPLE OF NEW
RECORDS THIS YEAR
By Doing a Little Better
Than Break EUen,
They'll Succeed.
Ry John Il. EOSTER.

Copyright by The San Antonio Light
New York. Sept. 22.-The pennant
winning New York Yankees need only
to hang onto the lead with which they
clinched the flag Thursday in order
to set a new American League rec
ord. If they add two more points to
their showing in the percentage col
umn at the finish they will set two
records.
When the Yankees slipped into Pen
nantville, they led the Cleveland In
dians. their closest pursuers. by seven
teen full genes. This is u record, but.
of course. they must keep that great Il
lead for il 10 become official as the
board of directors accept no mid-sea-
son figures. The Yankees were III
points ahead of Cleveland in the per-
centage column after Thursdays vic
tory over St. Louis. The record in
this respect is 120 points, the fig
ure by which Chicago beat Milwaukee
out in 1900. If they play fraction
better than fifty-fifty baseball for the
rest of the season they will pass this
figure. Such leads are quite UNI
usual in the American League. The
circuit has twice had the champion
ship decided by n single game. The
first time was in 190S-the same year
in which the Giants failed of cham
pionship because Merklc failed to
touch second base. The second neck
and-neck finish for the American
League teams was i'll 1922. when the
Yankees came through by the narrow
est of margins.
In 1904 the season finished with
only game and a half separating
Boston and New York. That was the
year in which Chesebrough made his
celebrated widl pitch with the spitball
and the hopes of the HighlanderS. as
they then were called, vanished into
thin air. In 1908 the pennant again
was won by a game and n half, Dc
troit nosing Cleveland out in the bunt-
ing race. In 1920. only two games
separated Cleveland and Chicago. and
Chicago not vet recovered from
the black world series Of 1919,
lost out. Two games seDarated the

The lzaak Walton League is here.
Last week. little group OF San An

Noa Spears and organized a local
chapter of the Izaak Walton League of
America. This national organization
as virtually all lovers OF the outdoors
know, has for its object the restoration
and preservation of sports afield and
astream and the saving of the frag-
ments of outdoor Ameri:; for future
generations. 1t is interested in any
game preservation movement and its
social side is one of its chief features.
In some cities. trophy rooms are main
tanned and regular luncheons are
held.
Among the founders OF the league
were such sportsmen as Clifford Pin

According to Mr.. Spears, who is
temporary chairman. the San Antonio
chapter expects to complete its organ

names on its rolls when application
for a charter is mailed.

Homer Ezzell has made good in the
big leagues.
The San Antonian. who once could
not hit ''the size of his hat even in
amateur leagues here but has kept
plugging away until he gained the
serious notice of major leaguers, has
won the regular thirdbasing job with
the st. Louis Browns and has been
moved up in the batting order from
eighth position TO second.
He's been getting one or two-rare-
ly three-almost every day for a long
time now. and he should be appearing
up in the 300 class, or very near it
now.
Hitting has been what kept Ezzell
from being a major league sensation
years ago. He received a trial with
the st. Louis Cardinals three or four
seasons back, but couldn't hit major
league pitching.
His fielding is brilliant and he is
one Of the fastest men in the big show.
His base stealing with the Browns
proves that.
Young Robertson was picked as st.
Louis third-sacker this spring and
played regularly for some weeks. But
he began to slip and Ezzell got his
{ ancc. His hitting was nothing to
brag about at the beginning but he
played great ball in the field and soon
his batting eye began to improve. Now
he's hitting with the best of them and
is a sure-cnough regular-anothcr San
Antonian who can be referred to pride
fully as big Lacquer.

Perkins, After Trying
Six Seasons, Finally
Gets Collins Stealing

Philadelphia, Sept. 22.-Cy Per-
kins Of the Philadelphia Athletics
is considered one Of the best catch
ers in either major league. As
matter of fact, a number of TX
perts consider him the premier
backstop of the big show.
Perkins does everything well.
but no one thing better than
throw. He has wonderful arm
and gets the ball away with I'M
erring accuracy.
Eddie Collins Of the Chicago
White SoX and George Sisler OF
the Browns. who has been out of
the game all season because of eye
trouble, are two of the best base
runners in the American League.
There is little to choose between
them, yet Sisler has always been
easy for Perkins to throw our,
while Collins has been correspond
ingly tough.
Recently in a game between Chi
cago and the Athletics which
Mack's club won. 3 10 .. Collins
in the eighth inning hit safely and
a moment later tried TO steal Sec
ond. Pitcher Harris permitted
him 10 get away to flying start,
and only remarkable throw by
Perkins made it possible to get
Collins at second. That throw
just about saved the game.
After the contest Perkins re-
marked. al have been in the Amer
lean League six years but that is
the first time can ever remember
throwing out Eddie Collins. 1t has
seemed that every time he started
to steal on me something happened
TO make the attempt successful.
Throwing Collins out today is the
first time in my career. il my
memory serves me correctly. and

over half a dozen years
