Scotch Football
Wallace Wade plays a good
brand of Scotchman football and
to help him keep it in force he's
got Jap Davis, Frank Klllan'
Tommy Prothro and Yves McAfee
as good starters in the backfleld,
with Steve Lach, Winston Siegfried
and a regiment of others for the
same spots.
In the line, Duke will have such
weu-known performers as Dlnky
Darnell, Al Piasecky, John Mania,
Charlie Jet, Alex Winterson and
Tony Ruffa, with a score more al
most as good to take their place at
any whistle.
Duke has a tough schedule as
usual and they might hit more
than one snag. But they look plen-
ty tough. And it will be worth it
just watching how the Blue Devils
come out.
Challenge Game
Player trades have upset more
than one baseball league and it
appears that the Cape Fear. asso-
citation is no exception. The de-
cision of Pitcher Jim Bullock to
be released by the Hi-Kappas so
that he could play with Leland
made some of the league officials
get peeved.
The arguments grew until 1t
reached the stage where no men,
Der of the Leland club would par
ticipate in the All-Stars game with
the Pirates. However, it appears
now that everything will be
Strengthened out and the Bruins
wick club, set on winning the pen
nant, will get the big hurler.
And to prove that they r the
stuff that champions r made OF
Leland has challenged the Pirates
for a game next Wednesday night.
The Kitemen have accepted and
you may look for big Jim Bullock
to start on the mound for the boys
from across the river.
Leland says that there are some
300 to 400 people from that section
who will be on hand to see them
beat the Buccaneers.
Here and There
At this point in the game it looks
as if the Independent softban
league championship will be be-
tween Taylor-C olquitt, winners Of
the first half, and the Wertheimer
Bag company team. -. The Bag
men have the second half prac-
tically sewed up. Harland
McKeitham, catcher for the Chem
lists, claims a better batting aver
age than was credited to him on
Monday. With hits out of ID
times up for an average of 500 he
is currently the heaviest hitter Of
the league. We al across a
teller the other day who wanted to
bet that the Yankees will win the
American league pennant The
champs had just won a double
header over Boston We re-
minded him that back in June
someone also sent in an order to
the Browns for tickets to the
World Series. l

Although the Koppers Co., opera

all the victims Of Pennsylvania S
worst bituminous disaster in a dec
ade had been found, the gas-masked
rescue crews still explored pitch
black shafts in the possibility others
might have been trapped.
Most OF the dead had been suf-
located. Others were burned.
Only 81 men escaped from the
mine, sloping miles into the earth
from a mountainside, when either
gas or coal dust exploded and
snuffed out the lives of those caught
farther in. The 81 made a quick
scramble for safety, some crawling
on all fours to shelter themselves
from the heat and lethal gas that
filled the tunnels.
The company received an unveri-
fled report that spark from a coal
cutting machine set off the blast.
Little damage was done to the mine
itself.
