appeared in the course of life

apartment dwellers and great deal
of swank, dog and moneyed pride. 1t
was no case of brilliant personality
flashing on the scene, master of finance,
social lion or celebrity of the arts, but
merely this-a new laundry man was
on the job. Whatever notice or inter-
est occesioned was to be found in
the circle of elevator boys, ladies' maids,
ianitors and cooks-and, indeed, there
was a certain notice and interest.
The newcomer was an employe OF
a clothes-washin concern that did a
large business in the neighborhood.

lNFIELD STARS
TWINKLE DAILY
FOR HENDRICKS
By FRANK GETTY
(Urited Press Sports Edltorl


NEW YORK, June 11.-Thcy do
not call them the heavenly
twins for Cincinnati, since the
discovery of padlocks for brcwcrics,
is another neighborhood, but Horace
Fcrd and liughic Critz, the key
stone kids from Redland, are play
ing celestial baseball and are the
answcr to Jack Hendricks prayer.
The Cincinnati Reds are out in
front in the National league race
because of the splendid defensive
work of Horace and IIughie.
When Horace flippcd Hogan 8
roller to Hughic, forcing Cohen, and
Iughie swept the bah to Wany
ipp, nipping Shanty at first in
the first inning of the game at the
Polo grounds Sunday afternoon, the
pair participated in their eightietll
double play of the 1923 season.
Ford, however, now has accepted
126 chances without a bobblc. Every
time a ball is hit down towards
shortstop, fans at the Cincinnati
games hold their breath to see when
the missing error-for Horace is
only human-will put in its belated
appearance. ''Ford to Critz' may
not he euphonious as "Tinker to
Evers to Chance but it is likely
to become as auriferous if its cxecu-
tion can keep the Reds out in front.
The major league record for
double plays was established five sea
sons ago by the Washington Sen
ators who made 1872 that year. In
;hc same year the Phillics, while
acquiring the lowest percentage on
record .325-sct the National lea.
que record for twin killings at
l12. 1t is apparent that Ford and
Critz will make history if they keep
on.

LAREDO TRAIN
American Engineer Is
Killed; Rails Had
Been Torn Up

MEXICO CITY, June 26.-(P-
Wrecking Of a passenger train rum
ming from Laredo to Mexico City was
attributed to insurgents by railroad
officials today.
Andrew II. Robinson, 60-year-old
American engineer who has served
years was crushed to death when the
train was derailed. His body was
brought to Mexico City for burial
The fireman was killed also and sew
eral passengers injured.
The train usually carries a mum.
Der of Americans but since these gen
orally travel in the rear coaches ii
was believed that none of them were
injured. Passenger coaches remain
ed on the track, the locomotive, ex-
press car and mail car overturning.
Rails were torn up at curve near
Vivorillas, few miles east Of Quere-
taro. The engineer did not notice
the damage in the darkness and the
train plunged from the rails.
Two bombs we're planted near the
point where the train was derailed
to blow up the relief trains. One OF
these exploded prematurely near Ara
gon bfore a relief train travelling
toward Laredo arrived. The second
bomb was discovered by track
workers shortly afterwards and re-
moved.
A guard Of federal soldiers accom-
panying the train deployed at once
and this show of force apparently in
timidated the wreckers since no at
tempt was made to attack the train.
