For reasons known only to itself, a

AS showing the enormous impor-
lance of these three -cOrnered con-
tests. out of 15S seats which changed
hands in the elections, 50 were in tri-
angular contests. The realization
that nothing could be predicted as

that they cannot always be consider

Baseball Officials

Tell of Experiences

Chicago, Dec. John A. Heydler
president of the National League,
William +. Baker. president of the
Philadelphia Nationals, Frank Gore,
secretary to President Heydler and
Cullen Cain, publicity man for the
National League, were aboard the
first section of the Twentieth Century
Limited which was Struck by a third
section at Forsythe, N. Y, early to-
day.
According to these men, who ar
rived here today, the observation
coachswas completely demolished and
ly a person could have escaped
from the wrecked car. According to
some passengers, the second section
of the Twentieth Century passed the
first section near Rochester. The
second section then was said to have
hit an automobile laden with liquor.
The three men who were said to have
been in the automobile leaped to
safety. The car was demolished and
broke into flames while the second
section of the Century ran some dis
lance before coming to a halt. The
first section then came along and
when the burning automobile hove
into sight it came to a stop. The
HaSman ran pack TO stop the tnlrO
section, 1t was said, but the night
was dark. and a heavy mist probably
prevented the on-rushing third Sec
ton from seeing the signal.
The engine ploughed through the
observation \car of the first section,
ripping the car almost in two, and
then buckling it up like a jackknife.
Mr.. Heydler was among the first
to go to the rescue of the imprisoned
passengers. Selling fire axe, he
hurried back to the demolished car
and made vain attempts to cut an
opening in the heavy steel side of the
car. He was Joined in few minutes
by Mr.. Baker, who armed himself
with a crowbar. In a few minutes a
dozen or more passengers were at
work trying to reach the victims.
Working in relays the men, in shirt
sleeves, pounded away until they
widened the opening at the top OF
