Two cars descending the slope at the Lykens colliery jumped the track and knocked down a timber which struck and probably fatally injured Oliver Kemble, aged 19 years, who was working about 100 feet 'from the bottom. As he was rolling down the slope was caught by Robert Matter, who was unable to check the fall and Oscar Long then caught Matter, and in this manner the trio held until rescue came from the first aid corps. It was necessary to strap Kemble to a plank to take him to the bottom of the slope and thence through a steam hole to another slope. It required four hours of the hardest kind of work to get him out. A few hours later, while David Stence was planning to clear away the wreckage, he missed his footing and fell a distance of 75 feet and was instantly killed.

The blocking of the elope has closed the colliery. ESHBACH. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Hoffman visited the family of Nathan Reigner on Sunday.

Bill Cough lln worked it on Wilmington last year. Pitcher Walter Swenson, the Union town basketball player, who Jumped the Youngstown team of the Central League and went to his home In Brooklyn, has been doing so well in semi professional ball that he has attracted the attention of Manager McGraw, who made Youngs town an offer for his contract. Bumpus Jones, the former Johnstown pitcher who was recently sold by Rochester to Troy, has been pitching semi pro, ball around Rochester.

He said he could not think of going to a minor league. Setting a new world's record for 15 miles on an Indoor track, Jlmmie Fitzgerald, the Australian runner, covered the distance at Tacoma, in one hour 21 minutes and 4f 1 5 seconds in a race with Victor Norman, of Seattle. The former world's record 1.22.56, held by Fred. Appleby, of England, was made in 1909 in Winnipeg. It Is said that Walter Johnson, aside from being the greatest pitcher in captivity, Is also one of the easiest players to handle.

When he loses a game he never blames his teammates, although they may have kicked it away behind him. "It was tnv fault," he will say, "I never should have given that fellow a ball like that to hit." This is a very different attitude of mind from that displayed by some other hurlers that we could mention. Third Baseman Haddow, of the Charlotte team of the Carolina Association, the former Tri Stater, angered because he was called down by Manager Osteen, purposely threw the game away, it is charged. He was fined J200 and suspended. Wilbur Roach, the Windber ball plaver sent by Washington, along with Barney Pelty, to Baltimore, had READING HORSES ATUjBANON FAIR Lebanon, Aug.

finite an experience with the National He went in as a pinch hitter once anrj hit a home run. Then he succeeded Mo Bride In the closing chapters of a game and hooted away a victory. That was the only time he appeared in action under Griffith. A conceited movement to place Jimmy Curry, the former Reading player who spiked Tuck Genest and broke his leg in a recent Connecticut League game, upon the blackest is now under way, it is understood.
