The Chicago White Sox and the

but American League teams do
not face each other during the
training season.
The New York Giants are to
train at Sarasota, which is below
Bradentown, on the west coast, but
it is not believed the Griffs will
meet them owing to the well-known
scrap between the managers at
Jackson, Tenn, in 1921. Manager

The chance of California ventur-

that he had completed last sum-

Earnings of these employees per

they are still 2G per cent below the

SOME OF BODIES ARE MANGLED
BEYOND RECOGNITION
IN CRASH

Oak Harbor, Ohio.-Ten persons
were killed and ten others were in
jured, some seriously, when a New
York Central passenger train crashed
into an automobile truck at a grade
crossing outside this village. The
dead:
Mrs. Bern Cook, 40; Mrs. Mabel

Cronlnger, 10; Olga Pratt, II; Milan
Schaaf, II; Holden Huffman, IA; Elda

Attica, Ohio. George Spangler, 80,
Willard, Ohio, driver of the truck.
There were twenty-siX persons IN
the truck. They had been on days
outing at Sand Beach, on Lake Erie,
and were returning to their home
when the accident occurred.
The force of the collision carried
the wreckage of the truck 300 feet
down the railroad tracks, hurllng bod
les in every direction.
County officials began an investiga-
tion in an effort to attach blame for
the accident. They learned, it was
said, that the truck had been brought
to a stop at the Locust street crossing
to permit a slow moving freight train
to pass.
When the freight train had cleared
the crossing, it was said, the truck
driver drove onto the tracks and into
the path of the oncoming passenger
train.
The truck is said TO have been re,
turning with a load of young people
from an outing in the woods.
Officials at Toledo, Ohio, said the
driver of the truck left the wheel and
looked both ways of the track. A
train was passing on the eastbound
track, but the driver failed to see the
fast train which was bound for To
ledO.
The party was from Attica, Ohio
and was returning from an outing a
Locust Point, near Oak HarbOr.
The train struck the truck squared!

pants more than 100 feet, it was salt

drain off surplus water, and eXtin-

The cause of the fire is undetermined
