TWO NINE FIRES STILL
EXIST IN MARYLAND FIELD
Spruce Hill and Midlothian
Burning for Years With Loss
of Millions of Tons

The fact that Allegany county has
two burning mines and they have
been burning for years with the loss
of millions of tons of coal and conse-
quently of millions of dollars is not
generally known because there is but
little exterior evidence that acres of
coal seams continue to burn. +
The most noted burning mine is
Spruce Hill, an abandoned working
near Vale Summit. This fire started
SO years ago and is still blazing at a
depth of several hundred feet under
the surface. The fire has spread over
an area of from three to four miles,
it is estimated
The other mine fire is at Midlo-
THAN, which started 35 years ago
in August, 1892. 1t is estimated at
least 100000 tons of coal have been
lost to the appetite of the flames at
Midlothian At both burning mines,
hundreds of mine holes are to be
seen.
Now and then smoke may be seen
issuing from the ground The exist
ence of the fires is made more evident
when snow is on the ground for steam
is seen to arise with the smoke, from
the thawing snow, while the ground is
soft and muddy. The ground is also
denuded of vegetation.
Faulty Ventilation Caused Fires
The fires in both mines came as the
result of faulty ventilation. The
Spruce Hill, one of the earliest opera
lions of the Maryland territory, had
a large salamander or basket furnace
in which a fire was kept burning all
the time, the draft from the burning
coal acting as a suction in ventilation.
The heat from this furnace burst
through to a coal seam which became
ignited and efforts We're finally aban-
doned to stop the fire. Holes were
drilled above and water pumped into
the burning mine to no result.
At the Midlothian mine, a fire was
built in the shaft to draw off the foul
air when it ignited the coal in side
walls and the entire mine finally be-
came as blazing furnace.
Robert Duncan, one Of the older
residents of Midlothian, was one of
the crew that entered the mine to
fight the fire when it was first kin
died. A bucket brigade and pumps
were employed at the time and after
working some hours, Mr.. Duncan and
a number of others were overcome
from inhaling smoke and fumes and
were carried unconscious from the
mine. Others in the party were John
Little, superintendent of the mine;
Thomas Reese, William Patterson,
John Donnelly, and George Broad
beck. They penetrated the mine L.
900 feet.
During the World War when coal
was taken from the adjoining Adams
mine, men worked with canvass
against a blaze and until they could
no longer withstand the heat. When
coal was dumped on the tipple, it was
often too hot to be taken in the bare
hand.

'. NJ. |. LINEUP
IS DOUBTFUL

LEXINGTON. Va, Sept. 20
After over two weeks of practice
the v. NJ. /. coaches are still in
doubt as to the opening lineup
when the Cadets entertain the
Hampden.Sidnsy Tigers on Alumni
field Saturday.
Louis Chadwick, last years versa
tile utility man, may be held out
of the starting lineup, with Basil
Gravatt taking the tackle berth op-
posite Aubrey Grow. T. o. Palmer,
elongated end, has been putting up
a great game in the scrimmages.
and there is a chance that he will
get the call for one wing berth, with
Tommie Scott on the other flank.
In the backfieId, Capt. AL Haw-
kins will be at quarterback, and
Bernard McCray win probably start
as halfback instead of fullback.
The other half and the full.
back will be chosen from John.
ME Biggs, Charlie HoltZclaw,
Roy Dunn. Lefty Williams, or
Buck Wright, with the chances
In favor OF all OF them seeing
service in the game.
While the varsity teams are being
drilled over and over in funda
mental work and a few plays OF
the straight football type, Coaches
Sam Heflin, Alb Barnes and Pete
Hesmer are working with a squad
of 10 freshmen, who reported out
of a class of 800. The squad will
probably be reduced to half Its
size in a week or so, and in the
meantime the coaches are looking
over their material to see what they
have and what they lack. Husky
tackles must be developed, am
there are no outstanding centers
or punters. On the whole, however
the squad compares favorably with
last years freshmen, who turned

Burden of. Duke Attack

DURHAM, N. c., Sept. '20.-As
the date of the game with the big

more and more as If the Blue

fast, deceptive attack with plenty
OF passing mixed in. All stress
has been placed on this style of
offensive.
With Jankosli apparently In the
best shape he's enjoyed since 1927,
when he was the leading touchdown
maker OF the country, the coaches
may choose to build their offensive
about the little fellow.
A fullback always is an impor-
tant, person at Duke, under the
Pop Warner system OF football
attack. There are fullbacks here
galore, but Jankoski appears to be
the man favored, though he is the
smallest of the fullback squad.

The baseball fans who stayed
away from Griffith Stadium
either because Of the cold or
because Griff is starting his
games too early for their con-
venience, missed four thrills
which are seldom seen packed
into one afternoon, say nothing
Of one game.
Sam Rice caught a fly just
before it would have banged
against the signboard to retire
Manush in the eighth. Blae-
holder and Melillo executed a
triple play in the eighth, and
the Griffs went into the ninth
inning with the score l to 0
against them and banged out
four hits and two runs before a
man was out, snatching the
game out of the fire. Judge,
too, distinguished himself in the
sixth by grabbing burning
drive off Manush's bat to re-
tire him unassisted.
Sylvester Breen, Alexandria's
most famous baseball fan, is
celebrating his siXty-third birth
day. Congr atulations! Also
