st. Louis, Oct. 4.--(P)-The invad-
ing Yankees, champions OF the
American League. rolled into st.
Louis this afternoon on their special
train on the New York Central Rail-
road, making a record from New
York of 1853 miles in - hours and
a half. This beat the best previous
record by 10 minutes.
1t was a confident crowd Of ball
players, cock-sure Of ultimate vic
tory in the Worlds series, that de-
barked a Union Terminal and the
dour looks of the throng that had
served only to steel the Yanks
against heavy day tomorrow in the
third game of the series. The Yanks
came to town five minutes ahead Of
the home club and went at once TO
their hotel.
All along the route during the
daylight ride through Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois, crowds gathered at the
various stations to catch a fleeting
glimpse of the Yankees as they sped
west. At Unionville. Ind, 800 per-
sons gathered at the station to see
Babe" Ruth and his mates and

the Bambino made his appearance
at the car window.

raced along with the special a mile

We will have the same lineup that
has appeared in the other games. All
the boys are in good shape and we
are prepared to battle to a success

The American Leaguers expected
to face Arthur Reinhart, a southpaw.
as they agreed that the strategy
seemed to call for a left handler to
keep the Yanks from putting the
ball into the short right field stands.
With Ruether and Reinhart hurting
tomorrow another duel of southpaws
was in prospect.
The only casualty on the Yanks'
trip was Herb Pennock, who lost
control shifting razor blade and
nicked the second finger of his pitch
ing hand. There was a hurried call
for Nocwoods, the clubs trainer,
who tapped the cut on the injured
digit.

lakewood, Tenn. Oct. 4.-(P)-
Civ bodies had been brought to the
surface tonight from the Rodgers en-

IN which an explosion occurred to-
,,v Twenty seven miners remain
"a unaccounted for at eight p. NJ.
The blast in the Rodgers entry,
shout three miles under ground,
occurred in almost the identical spot
where a gas explosion killed ten men
IN July 1925. 1t was at this point
that % of the miners were working
,odav and veterans said that con-
cussion probably snuffed out their
lives before after damp gas had time
10 do its work.
The recovered bodies were found
near the league entry, a branch
leading off the Rodgers entry about
three quarters of a mile from the
scene of the explosion. Three of the
injured we're located in the same en-
try by rescuers and brought to the
surface after having been almost
overcome, despite hastily erected
bratties against the gas.
Rescue crews made slow progress
in penetrating the shaft due to ex-
cessive heat and smoke and danger
from gas. but they pushed forward
on the slender hope that some life
might still exist leaving the bodies
Of the two dead men where they
lay.
A large force of open lamp miners
has been recruited and await orders
10 enter the mine to assist into car
rying the bodies of those believed to
be dead to the main slope. From
there a train of mine rescuers is
ready to take them to the surface.
First word of the explosion
brought hundreds to the mouth of
the mine and they have been
standing for hours waiting for the
fate of relatives and friends. Later
the streets near the mine became
choked with automobiles and the To-
cal post of the American Legion
roped off the mine entrance and per-
mitted none but those on errands of
mercy to enter.

Mr.. Payne asserted there was going
on in that state a conflict between

come, he said. when Eve must con-
slider seriously whether il is too late
to renew our campaign for the relief
of the poor and stricken in the storm

Chicago chapter called me on the tele-
phone and read me the message Gov
ernor Martin had sent to the mayor of
Chicago thanking him for offers and
aid and assuring the mayor that he,
the governor would let him know if
further assistance was necessary"
AT first" Mr.. Payne asserted, y
could scarcely believe that a governor
would make such a statement, right at
the height of campaign to raise
money for the relief of the poor people
of his state"

desire of a group to protect its bust
ness interests Is a natural weakness"

Go Slow in Matter
Five Day Working
Week, View of Mellon

washington, Oct. 4.-(P)-The pro-
posal of the American Federation of
Labor for a five day. 40 hour week,
must be put into effect gradually if
it is to be accepted by American bust
ness, in the opinion of Secretary Mel
Ion.
While he has not given serious
thought to labor's suggestion, the sec
rotary said today in response to in
quiries that the immediate adoption of
the proposal might seriously curtail
production though perhaps eventually
this could be overcome.
In the case of Henry Ford's shops,
he said. the five day week had not
caused any decrease in production, but
that similar results could not be .eX-
pected in all the Industries.
