RESCUE IN
MINE TRAP
. is SLOWED.
Fresh Difficulties Block e.
forts to Reach Five En-
tombed Men.
GREAT PUMP is STOPPED
Workers, Sinking Shaft.
Also Meet Caves-ins.
BIZ United Press


SALEM, Ky, Aug. 11.-Fresh
difficulties today blocked the path of
rescue workers attempting to reach
the five men imprisoned since last
Thursday in a zinc and spar mine
here. Salem is twenty miles south
of Evansville, Ind.
After breakdown and delay while
new parts were brought by airplane
from Memphis, Tenn, the great CEN
trifugal pump which had been drain
ing the flooded mine, again stopped
when the water fell below the tur-
bine blades, which must be sub
merged
Lake Is Released
The men we're imprisoned when
the pick Of miner broke through
the thin shell of floor which re-
leased water from an unsuspected
underground lake. The water gey-
sered into the level and the men fled
farther back into the level to a pock-
ct which was higher.
Since that time the mine engineers
have worked day and night to keep
the pumps going to the level of the
water would not reach to the pocket.
The water blocked rescue through
the main shaft so fellow miners
have been attempting to reach the
imprisoned men through new shafts
sunk at various points approximate
ly over the pocket.
Hampered by Cave.ins
/ Workers digging an emergency
rescue shaft have encountered cave.
ins at about sixty feet below the
surface, and this has slowed up their
work greatly.
The well drill, working on its
fourth hole, has penetrated seventy
feet.
Though virtually all hope of res
cuing alive the men buried for nearly
six days has been abandoned, the
300 workers are going ahead with
their work as rapidly as possible un-
DER circumstances.
The diamond drill has been def
nitely abandoned after failing in its
fourth attempt to drill a hole. A
smaller pump has been put in oper-
atiQp pending return of the big
pump to operation.
AS soon as all water has been re-
moved from the old shaft, work will
be directed toward removing mud
and debris, believed to be but three
feet deep. Once through this, reach.
ing the entombed men will be a
matter of minutes. In the face of
present difficulties rescuers estimate
that the men will not be reached be.
fore forty-eight hours.
Air Current Helpful.
Late yesterday two miners
crawled into the old shaft as far as
the cave-in and reported there was a
strong current of air there Their
findings indicated that the entombed
men have been getting fresh air
Streams of cold water run through
the pocket where the men are
trapped, making it possible, however,
for the men to have died from ex-
posure.
There is no possibility Of the men
having been drowned in the water
from the underground lake, it was
said, since the pocket is high enough
for them to climb to level above
the reach of the water.

BRANDON HAS CHANCE
TO GAIN FISTIC FAME.

Can kid with q real punch and q
fighting heart beat man who repre-
sents the acme of ring science? This
question will be answered tomorrow
night at Kenilworth boxing arena
when Harry Brandon OF New York
meets Toung Montreal, one OF the
greatest ring generals of the time.
They are to go IL rounds to a deci-
sion.
Washington fans have never seen a
fighter of Montreaps type in a local
ring. This bantamweight has shown
himself able to do everything inside
the roped arena that fighter can be
expected to do. But little Brandon,
lacking the ring polish Of his oppo-
nent. will keep coming with both
hands flying in an attempt to best
the wili-o' -the-wisp Of the fight game.
Both men have defeated formidable
foes, but Montreal has by far the
better record. Brandon has beaten
such scrappers as Harry London,
Eddie Cannonball Martin, Jake Cohen
and Midget Smith. Montreal counts
wins over Pete Herman. Joe Lynch
Carl Tremaine, Kid Williams and
Tony Mandell among his victories.

and Benny Jukes, bantams; Kid
Woody and Tiger Rose Carroll, welt
ers, and Harry DeVore and Jimmy

as emphatic about having the halter

seemed to hold the winning hand in
the end. He got to Darcy somehow
and there was talk of his being the

JEFF X. ODD CORBETT
BEFORE FITZ DID IT

Tho fact that Jim Jefrries knocked
out Jim Corbett, while the latter was
training at Carson City, New, in 1897,
for his fight with Fitzsimmons, Is
definitely established by Robert
Edgren in an article in this weeks
Liberty.
The knockout occurred behind
closed doors during Jeffries' tryout as
sparrtng partner for Corbett. and
whether it really happened or not
has been disputed for more than a.
quarter of q century.
According to Edgren, who was sta
toned at Carson City to report the
Corbett- F'itzsimmon bout for a San
Francisco paper, the rumor went
around that Corbett had been knocked
out by his big new sparr1ng partner
Edgren, however, never believed this
story. and visiting Jeffries not long
ago at the eX-champion's ranch at
Burbank, Calf, asked him about 1t.
"Corbett didn't knock me out!' ex-
claimed Jeffries. II knocked him out!
The story that he knocked me out
was just ballyhoo for the hght-to
worry Fitzsimmons and boost Cor
belts stock by crediting him with a
knockout punch But there's
no reason why the truth shouldn't
be told now"
