his heart and words of praise for
the boys who came through for him

the 1927 Valley grid season.

8 BOYS NAMED
IN TINT BLAST

PHILADELPHIA, June Three
boys were horribly manned and
burned when a stick Of dynamite
exploded in the hands Of one of
them while at play on Sunshine
Avenue, Upper Darby.
All three had their clothing torn
from their bodies by the force of
the explosion, and little hope is
held for the lives of two Of them,
while the third underwent q blood
TRANSMISSION at midnight in an
effort to save his life.
Charles Gregg, 10 years, Of Al
Sunshine Ave., is the most serl-
ously injured. Both arms were
ripped from his body and his, right
eye blown out. Peter G. Anderson,
jr., IL years, of IL Sunshine Ave-,
will probably lose the sight of both
eyes, and his face was terribly
nangled. His brother, George, 8
years, has burns of both eyes and
numerous cuts of the face and
body. He has an even chance to
live.
From meager details the police
were able to gather the dynamite
and percussion caps had been found
by young Gregg at a building opera
ton on West Chester pike.
The lads were playing about the
lawn at the Anderson home when
Gregg produced the explosive and
the caps.
A cap was attached and one Of
the Anderson children procured
some matches. While the Gregg
boy held the stick of dynamite one
Of the other boys ignited a match
and thrust It down to the cap.
There was an explosion that could
be heard for blocks. Persons in
Sunshine Avenue and adjoining
streets came running from their
homes.
