H. W. PERRIN A WINNER
HAVEllFORD, Pa Sept, 28. As a re
ult of tho third round of match play In
the Invitation tournament of the Merlon
Cricket Club here today the two remain
ing Boston representatives were elim
inated. Playing extremely steady golf, C. B.
Buxtpn. of Huntingdon Valley, defeated
J, H. Sullivan, of the Brookline Country
Club, 1 up and 3 to play. It had been
expected thnt Sullivan would reach the
final, but Buxton won on his merits. The
Huntingdon Valley man showed much
better Judgment than his opponent. Time
and again Sullivan misjudged distances,
and it frequently led him into trouble.
Buxton's approach shots and putting
were extremely accurate, and It was In
this department of the game that he
completely outplayed his opponent.
B, W. Estabrook, the second of the Bos
tonlans, succumbed to U M. Washburn,
of Merlon, but only on the 18th hole. The
match was the best contested of the'
morning, and Washburn deserved, np lit
tle credit, for at one stage of the match
he was -four down.

Ten men were killed at 1:15 o'clock this
morning and six others were injured,
when a speeding Philadelphia and Read
ing Hallway express train ran through
a gang of GO workmen in the Phoenix-
vllle tunnel. Seven of tho deaiU-swer,
In n' fow hours. More deaths are ex
pected'. The train was due to arrive at Philadel
phia at 8:07 o'clock. There was a panic
among tho passengers, who feared
asphyxiation fror. the heavy gas in the
tunnel.
A section train, in charge of James
Kenny, had Just pulled Into tho tunnel
with the gang of workmen, most of whom
were foreigners, and the smoke from the
engine had not cleared away when
the express train, which was nearlng
Phoenixvllle, came rushing into the tun
nel. The smoke obscured the view of the
workmen, who by that time had left tho
Bectlon train and were walking through
the tunnel to the scene of their work.
The workmen heard the noise of the
train, became contused and stampeded.
The train plowed into the ranks of the
workmen.
Six ot the men, all foreigners, were
taken from tho tunnel dead. They lay
for some time at the Heading station at
Phoenixvllle. Ten others, badly Injured,
were taken to the Phoenixvllle Hospital,
where one man died shortly after being
admitted.
All the dead are foreigners 'from
Bridgeport., opposite Norrjstown., Among
those Injured, not foreigners, are James
Kinney, foreman of the section gang, and
Wallace J, Zimmerman, of Mahanoy
City, who was in general charge of the
work In the tunnel,
Moru deaths are expected at the hos
pital. Doctors from Phoenixvllle and
the surrounding country gave their serv
ices to relieve the Injured.
The section .gang had been working at
widening the tunnel tor more than two
weeks.
As far' as can be learned, no passen
gers were Injured In the panic that fol
lowed the accident. The trainmen con
ducted those In the rear cars to the front
of the train, which was outside the tun
nel, so that none would be affected by
th heavy gas,
Just about a year ago, on September
22, the engineer and conductor of a
Pottsvlllo express train were asphyxiated
In the tunnel, where the train had stopped
after striking a woman. She had at
tempted to cross tie tracks near the en
trance to the tunnel.
After making an investigation, the
Coroner at that time said the engineer
and conductor wero killed by coal gas,
which had been generated By the engine.
Many passengers were overcome by
fumes, but subsequently recovered.
