Old Giants Used Motty's Pitch
To Kill Bass, O'TooIe Says

of eastern bass in the pond, but no
one aboard had any fishing tackle
Manager John McGraw saved
the day.
He brought out a large number
of baseballs and told his pitching
staff to go to it, promising a bonus
to the player making the most
strikes
Taking a cue from Mathewson,
members of the team started blast
ing away at the bass with baseballs,
using Christy'S fadeaway, now known
as the screwball.
Every time a fish was klonked
with the ball it would be knocked
cold and drift toward the river.
Altogether, So bass were taken

That controversial race around
Absecon Island at Atlantic City,
N. j., held each year on Memorial
Day, will move to safer and Saner
site next year, according to Sports
man Mortimer Auerbach, wealthy
sponsor of the event.
1t will be shifted to Miami, Fla,
and run as an open event for in
board hydroplanes in the Biscayne
Bay Regatta next March.
Prizes will be presented for the first
three boats in final point standings,
and an extra award will be made to
the driver turning in the fastest
heat. The race will comprise three
15-mile heats. Formerly the event
was staged both in the ocean and
the winding waterways back OF
Atlantic City.
Auerbach and officials there ap-
parently came to the realization that
ocean racing should be confined to
sailing yachts and not tempera-
mental runabouts.
Commodore Robert Slime of West
River Yacht Club has issued an in
vitation to all yachtsmen and their
friends to attend the clubs crab

of blackened desolation with piles
of unsightly debris and deep craters
resembling areas of warning Europe
greeted the eyes of searchers this
morning as more bodies were recov-
cred in the Hercules Powder Com
pany's disaster and the death toll
mounted to SO.
Still warm ruins smoldering in the
wake of yesterdays series of terrific
unexplained blasts made the hunt
for bodies a continuous danger.
Rescue workers pressed the search
however, for additional victims of
one of the worst powder plant blasts
N American history.
Cause. Is Mystery
The cause ofthe terrific explosion,
felt 1875 miles away, remains a mys-
terry
1t is believed still more bodies are
yet to come from the wreckage, while
hospitals are caring for 125 injured.
The explosion took place appar-
emily in the solvent recovery build
ing where ether and alohol, used to
purify the powder, were extracted
from nitrocellulose and reclaimed.
Hercules Director, w. G. Hunt,
said he is at loss to account for
the explosion.
In the main blast, $4,000 pounds
of smokeless powder exploded, while
another $4,000 pounds burned fierce
ly in the fire that followed.
Twenty of the hundred buildings
on the 700-acre grounds of the plant
were demolished.
