Investigation Scheduled.

DENVER, Colo, Nov. 23 - A
sweeping investigation of the fatal
labor. riot at the Columbine coal mine
in northern Colorado last Monday,
was scheduled to get under way today
at the inquest into the deaths of two
strikers. Five men were slain by
armed guards when 500 striking min
ers marched to the Columbine mine.
The investigation will inquire as to
whether the mine guard was justified
in the use Of firearms. Spokesman
for the l. w. w. declared that the
strikers were unarmed and were 'shot
down like dogs"
Death certificates for the other
three men who died in hospital after
the battle were signed late yesterday
by Coroned A. E. Howe, but today's
inquest will be concerned only with
the two men killed outright.
Another point the authorities will
investigate is whether or not machine
guns were used by state police during
the riot. According to Louis Scherf,
chief of the state police, machine
guns were mounted at points of
vantage.

Six known Dead In
COIunlbine Killing;
More Deaths LikeIV

DENVER, Colorado, Nov. 23.
The latest news from the
Columbine mine massacre sets
the death total at six known
dead, and others expected to die
from wounds, scores wounded,
among them four women, leav-
ing eleven children fatherless.
Determined to continue the
fight, despite the reign of terror
inaugurated by state govern
ment, the strike committee of
the LW.W. in Colorado, today served
notice on the government that picket
ing would be resumed. The spirit
among the strikers is splendid but
there is dire need of relief, especially
clothing.
Governor Allotted Murders.
The strikers have pledged to re-
main on strike until those responsible
for the murders which Governor
Adams and the industrial commission
aided and abetted are held to account.
There are now five hundred soldiers
supplied with tanks and artillery at
the Columbine mine.
Sentiment for the impeachment of
Governor Adams for turning the state
gunner loose on the workers is
springing up thruout the state. Dem
yer labor is demanding the recall of
Adams.
To Bury Dead At Cost.
The Louisville undertaken, in a
strike town, of which he is also
mayor, has offered to bury the dead
at cost. One woman is expected to
die from the result of tear bombs
used by mine guards.
1t is now established that two min
ers were killed by the state police
before the marchers entered the prop
erty of the Columbine mine owners.

OUTF|ELDS ARE
 ON EVEN BASIS
Two oI Most C0loriul Trios in
 Game to Meet in Series

Pittsburgh, Oct. Opi-Two of the greatest as well as the most col orful outfield trios ilf baseball will roam the outlying precincts for the
 Yankees and Pirates in the world series.
 The Yankees have the uncompar- able Babe Ruth, just finished earn ing his S1h.0o0 salary by shattering his own homc-run record, but the Pirates have the famous Waner brothers. hitters and ball hawks cy- traordinary.
 Paul W2nor in his second year as big leagucr, is the National , l"aGu"'s leading batsman with an unofficial mark of .379, the leader , in hits. triples and runs driven In. Lloyd, only %, and in his first year under the big top. has made a rare mark for q beginner, leading the league in runs scored. breaking the modern record for one base hits and establishing himself as the fastest man in the league down the first base line.
 Taking the two outfrlds as T whole. the Pirate trio, on the rec ords, has a decided defensive edge whereas the Yankee combination, chiefly due to Ruth. packs d much heavier long distance punch.
 Thoro is basis for a merry argu- mcnt over the rival right holders.
 Paul Wan"r and Ruth. Paul has d 2% point edge on the Babe in straight hitting. He also has a bigger collection Of doubles and triples to help offset the Babes s home run supremacy. There is an other margin in Pauls favor in fielding, where he has nearly 100 more putouts and II more assists than the Big Bam. Both are great team players but the Babes all around influence, his constant threat at bat and the prospect of his breaking Up a ball game on short notice cannot be measured in fig ures There is only one Ruth. all observers agree. This is the Ba be's eighth world series and Paul's first.
 Earl Combs. the Kentucky colonel and Lloyd Waner, rival leadoff men as well as center fielders are close match. Combs has few points edge at bat but Lloyd has a better fielding mark. Both are exception ally fast, not only ill covering their territory but on the bases. Combs is less spectacular than "Sprouts" as the players call Lloyd. but he is steady and consistent. of the type of George Burns. old Giant outtielder

This fault will probably be Smoothed out as the season pro gresses, but all in all it was d cr"ditahle opening game showing, neither team making a tumble.
 Not only have the Yale goal posts r"en moved back in accordance with the new rules, but they are now built of iron piping and will resist the efforts Of any victorious teams to pull them down. The bill for broken goal posts must have been heavy last fall.
 The cheer leaders pulled a fast one. They had been calling for the CuSt Omary cheers for the new man and the one taken out whenever a replacement was made. but when Jones sent in a flock of subs al the same time in the second period the cheer leaders gave up and called for three times three for the team.' When Oldt scored a touchdown they didn't know who he was, nor did the announcer in the press stand for he had no number on his back and was being referred to in the stands as Mir Anonvmous. So Oldt missed what may be his only chance to re- reiye d long cheer.'
