Motorists are finding the beach
an ideal spot for a days outing.
More than 1000 automobiles can
be accommodated easily in the

Mine DEATH RATE
JUMPS
For 192S-Accidents Cause
Loss of 1928 Lives in
First Half of Year

Washington, ID. c., G. l.. N. 81
Accidents at all coal mines in the
United States during the month of
June caused the death of 135 men,
according to information furnished by
state mine inspectors to the United
States Bureau of Mines, Department
of Commerce. Thirty-two of this
number were killed in the anthracite
mines of Pennsylvania; the remaining
103 deaths occurred in bituminous
mines in various states. The death
rate per million tons of coal mined
during the month was 3.27, based on
a production of 41,264,000 tons of
coal, as compared with a death rate
of 1892 for June, 1927, based on 172
deaths and 43,S84, 900 tons of coal pro-
duced
The fatality rate for bituminous
mines alone for June, 1928, was 2.86,

with a production of 35,963,000 tons,
and that for anthracite mines was 6.04
with tonnage of 5,301 900, as COM
pared with rates of 1922 and 7.44, re-
spectively, for June of last year, based
on an output of 36,627,0O tons and
11S deaths, and 1887 900 tons and 81
deaths.
Compared with May, 1928, the rate
for June of the present year was much
lower, as four major explosions oc-
Cured in May and caused the death of
230 men, whereas only one major dis
aster occurred in June with a loss of
only lives. Excluding these disas-
ters, the rates for June, 1923, were
slightly lower than for the previous
month for bituminous and higher for
anthracite mines.

The records of the Bureau of Mines
show that during the first six months
of 1923 accidents at coal mines caused
the loss of 1,128 lives. The produc-
ton of coal during this period was

The good old ballyhoo has bared
It's blaringest, the crowd has seen the

More and more middle-aged Amer

brated national sport, baseball.
Where would it all be without the
faithful newspaper ballyhoo?
1t would be sunk to the place it

a union agreement which calls for
two-man crews. The State Supreme

Sport for the sake of sport is one
thing. Sport for the sake of the pro
moter and the principals is something
else. Boxing on its present metropoli-
tan basis could not get by without
newspaper help. There are many
angles to the game. Newspaper sport
ing departments of big town newspa
pers are today heavily stated affairs.
The staffs must justify their existence.
That is natural. They join the bally-
hoo.
If Mr.. Tunney opens book it's an
eight-column banner line. If he says
he thinks it is going to rain it's an
other eight-column line..I he sneezes
it's at least feature box. His re-
tirement statement was printed YER
batim from a stenographic report. If
he should ever wink at a girl goodness
knows how the sport pages would do
it justice; they've already used their
biggest display lines.
The whole purpose of the ballyhoo
has been to blow up the bubble to the
level of high finance. BoXfighting IS
today big business, made SO by a host
of scriveners who have made noun
tains out of mole hills and Big Ber-
thas out of pop guns, as in the case
of the battered Mr. Dempsey.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1928-08-10

Those who like boxing are entitled
to have their boxing, but they are en-
titled to a sane newspaper outlook on
the game and sane reporting.
Sporting pages that helped to tout
Heeney into sufficient prominence to
help draw a gate admitted the day
after the fight that the day of hand
picked challengers had passed, which
is equivalent to admitting that the
Anzac was a hand-picked challenger.
Business rules the game and the
stakes are sufficient to make Wall
Street almost jealous. The mob, as
usual. gets hooked to pay the bill
But it begins to rebel. The high
prices are too high. Mr.. Rickard loses
money on the affair. A return to rea-
son may be forced. And some day
sport may get back to a point where
it rests upon its merits and becomes
once more sport for the sake of sport.
At present we witness a sickenlng
over-emphasis on evrey sport that has
box office attachment.
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1928-08-10

Take Heeney. Before he engaged to
get rich in the ring with Mr.. Tunney
this gent from the Antipodes was a
rather ordinary mauler. But by dint
of much ballyhooing by the newspaper
sporting departments he became per-
sonage. He was crowned with numer-
Gus impressive nicknames, such as the
Hard Rock from Down Under. Perish
ing, for winning his share of the World
War, got nowhere near as much news
paper praise and attention. Nobody
knows yet what Pershing eats for
breakfast and only one nickname has
ever been coined for him.
The whole blithering mess IS sick
ening, disgusting and over done. Per
haps some day healthy, normal, far
ly we'll balanced labor journalism will
help to kick such abnormal ballyhoo
rot into the well deserved discard.
