ALKI PUTS BACK
AFER THE EXPLOSION
That the entire engine! oom roreo of
the steamship Alki and many of the
passengers had a narrow escape when
iho high pressure piston broke and
he cylinder head was blown jmit
Saturday utternoon was learned last
night when the crippled steamer
crept into port, at 7:30 o 'clock. The
eeident occurred when the vessel
was four miles northeast of Bdlanac
island on her trip l > Southeastern Al
aska. The sixty six passengers, mai.
and a few tons of perishable freight
Acre transfered to the steamship Hum
oldt at s o'clock yesterday morn*
ng in the l ay at Rosario. The iium
1 oldt which left Seattle for the
North Saturday night drew Hongs..h
of the crippled Alki in the smooth
waters of the bay and the transfei
v; s affected without any difficulty.
The Alki. which left here late Fri
lay night, was running along at her
n domary speed just north of Bell an
te island, when, without any warn
ing, there was a terrific explosion
Steam completely filled F e engin<
room before < liief Kngiueer W. Dicck
hoff could shut it off. A fifty pound
n. ce of the cylinder head went sail
ing skyward, crashing through tie
kylight, cutting a beep gash in tin
• mist and finally landing on tin* deck.
The passengers, frightened by the ex
plosion, were quickly informed that
there was no danger whatever and
their excitement subsided. An exam
ination showed that the piston in the |
high pressure cylinder had broken
and thrashing about had in turn
broken the cylinder heed, which thou
blew out.
Tn rummaging about for somethin?
with which to repair the damage the
chief engineer ran across an old evlin
dor head which fitted exactly. Whor< ;
it came from or how long it has 1 c-ei I
aboard the vessel no one knows. It
was damped on and <’apt. McGrego* j
found that lie could make some head I
way with it. The company's office ii
Seattle was notified by wireless and
arrangements made with the TTumboldi ^
toamship company for the transfer,
of the Alki’s passengers, mail and per- |
ishable freight to the steamship Hum (
boh It, which sailed at 0 o’clock S-itui
iav night.. The Alki proceeding at |
he rule of six or seven knots me4 j
h- Humboldt at Rosario, where tie '
hange was made. The crippled shij
• hen made her way slowly into port j
arriving here at 7:30 last night and i
locking at pier 14.
It will take ten days to repair Em
damage to tin* Alki according io \

HOItSEHIDE USED FOR
COVERING BASEBALLi
New Void;,—Manufacturers of Las'
Lull supplies are laughing at a re
port which has gained circulation to
he effect that the national sport vvii
lie seriously handicapped next sensor
due tu an insufficient number ol
baseballs for major and minor league
use. According to the report tl"
hide of the Siberian pony was tin
only leather suitable for basehal
•overs ami since the war had shut
iff this supply the world’s seric
..light have to be played next, Octohe
villi defective balls if played at all
Investigation showed that pbtln ev
ervdtty American liorsehide is the md
diin used for covering baseballs am
i hat there is the usual supply in sigiit
This liple does not stretch or su
aider the impact, of bat and lias td
vuys proved satisfactory. “Perhaps'
onmrkcd one maunfaeturer. “the
-til ei'ian pony skin would stand 1 i
better under the batting of Ty Cold
ir .lake Daubort, blit for the avers;
litter of the major and minor league
\inerb an liorsehide can stand tio
astiest belts an I pome back fo
more. In fact if what some of tic.
dub managers tell me about tliei
batters is true ordinary wrappin.

In an L. C. Smith & Bros. Typewriter
s the point on the paper which is to receive the
type impression is staf ionary at the instant the
jj type hits. The carriage does not bob up and
[ down when the shift is made to write capitals.
Why?
Because the type is shifted—not the carriage.
The only movement of the carriage is back and
i forth on its closely adjusted ball bearing runways—
and this does not take place while the print is being
made. There is no lifting of the carriage.
This is one reason why L. C. Smith & Bros, type
! writing is free from blurs and every letter in the right
i place.
