GARY, Ind, Aug. 5. — Rescuers were working feverishly late trying to recover bodies from a mass of twisted steel in the Illinois Steel Co. plant in which three workers are known to have been killed and a half dozen others injured.
The explosion occurred late last night and completely wrecked the worker five blast furnace, newly repaired with more than $1,000,000 cost.
Eliminate Waste Thru Allyear Work
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5. — The seasonal ups and downs experienced in the construction industry could be practically eliminated if the building season in the United States were lengthened to include many of the Winter months, when work could be accomplished, recording to Secretary of Commerce Hoover.
This statement by the Secretary was contained in a supplemental report to the findings and recommendations made public by the Committee on Seasonal Operations in the Construction Industries, appointed by him as an outgrowth of the President's conference on unemployment in the country several years ago.
Hoover urges the elimination of the wastes occasioned by this seasonal idleness through the development of information as to the probable future demands for labor and
"Do I have to kill any whales in this picture?" asked Raymond McKee just before he signed his contract to play the leading male role in "A Girl of the Limberlost," the visualization of the famous story by Gene Stratton-Porter and which has been produced under Mrs. Porter's personal supervision.
"A Girl of the Limberlost" is to be shown at the United theater, beginning tonight. This is a vivid story of a girl's efforts to secure an education and of a mother's mistaken infatuation for the memory of a worthless man, who forgetful of his bride of but a few months, met a horrible death in the quagmire of a swamp as he hurried over an unfamiliar path in an effort to hasten home from a clandestine meeting with another woman. A wonderful bit of acting is done in this by Arthur Currier, the father in the story Emily Fitzroy brings to the role of the mother a wonderful understanding that makes the character of gripping sympathy to the audience.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5. — The Pacific Coast baseball league has promised more major league players than any league outside of major class in the country and this season is not going to prove a bounder either.
Two players of the Salt Lake club are the boys who will probably go up next season and could be in major company this summer if the Lakers would sell them.
They are Outfieldier J. Frederick and "sheriff" Singleton, a right-hand pitcher.

MAJORS IN MINORS
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 5. — The Pacific Coast baseball league has promised more major league players than any league outside of major class in the country and this season is not going to prove a bounder, either.
Two players of the Salt Lake club are the boys who will probably go up next season and could be in major company this summer if the Lakers would sell them.
They are Outfielder J. Frederick and "sheriff" Singleton, a right-hand pitcher.
Engle, scout of the Washington team of the American league, looked over the Salt Lake team and immediately asked William Lane, owner of the Bees, how much he wanted for Frederick. Lane replied that the outfielder, who has been cracking the ball on the nose all season, was not for sale.
Singleton also was liked by Engle. He has a good record and is expected to improve as the season advances.
The deal whereby the Los Angeles team expected to get the services of Earl Smith, peppery Boston Braves shortstop, has fallen through.
A new move is on, however, to strengthen the Angles with the acquisition of Ray Grimes, first baseman with the Chicago Cubs.
DUST SIFTS LIGHT FOR RADIO MOVIES
MUNICH, Aug. 5. — A thin aluminium plate, prepared with a special variety of "dust" which is said to possess the uglity of "sifting" light rays, is the heart of a new German invention for transmitting "radio movies."
The device was developed by Joseph Boehm, Munich mechanical engineer, who claims to have made successful tests of the apparatus over a distance of eighteen kilometers and who has applied for a patent.
After the rays are filtered thru the "dust" they are converted into modulated current and broadcast thru an antenna. The device is said to be capable of reproducing an entire scene from life on a screen some distance from where it is picked up by the lens of the sending mechanism.

SARGUM PROUTINGS
Baseball fans all over the country are having the time of their lives trying to pick the winners. There is not a team in any league that is resting securely in the lead. The Giants are having about as comfortable time as any other team and they have not the penant secure by any means.
The principle item of interest in the National League is the coming up of Pittsburg and the falling back of the Cubs. The Cubs have been in second place most of the season and have lead the parade some of the time. Just from the one exhibition game we saw we picked the Pirates to be stronger than the Cubs but it looked as if we were bum guessers, but the Pirates have passed the Cubs and we picked the right team for a day at least. But getting back to the Giants, they look to be pretty safe in their lead. Of course a bad slump and a spurt by either the Cubs or Pirates and the Giants would be in danger again.
In the American League matters are becoming more complicated every day. Babe Ruth and his pals are putting up a great fight but the Senators and Tigers never let up and the team that gets the breaks will win the penant. The Tigers moved from third place to the lead Sunday. A win for the Senators and a lose for the Tigers will put the Tigers back into third place. Its a great race. The critics look for the Yank pitchers to crack under the strain. The Browns are down in fourth place not too far away but that they might climb up and make it a four cornered fight most any old time.
In our own Coast League the race is getting very close again. thanks to the pasting Oakland gave the Champs last week. The Oaks are going to make things

In our own Coast League the race is getting very close again.
Thanks to the pasting Oakland gave the Champs last week. The Oakars are going to make things tough for the other teams before long. They have come up from the cellar in the last six weeks and are pressing the Tigers for third place. Oakland has won the last six series played. Her accomplishment last week, that of taking 5 out of 7 from the Seals, is the most noteworthy. Seattle is again near the top but I do not believe Red Killifer can shove his charge over as a winner.
St. Paul and Indianapolis are fighting it out in the American Association with only a few points between. Fort Worth is enjoying a comfortable lead in the Texas League. All other of the smaller leagues the race is hot and the leads very small. It's a great baseball year and the close play is directly responsible.
There is getting to be a number of strong armed young men in our league these days. It is not very often that you hear of one man pitching two games but it has been done several times lately. Red Killifer let Stulman pitch both games of the Sunday double-header over in Salt Lake. The youngster came thru and won both games. Killifler needs the games but he also needs to keep his pitchers in good shape. Two games are a long strain on a pitchers arm.
Big Bill Tilden, America's tennis champion, had a hard time defeating Al Chapin in the finals at the Los Angeles club Sunday. Bill was handicapped with a bad knee and had to exert every energy to best the younger man. Mrs. Tom Bundy, (May Suttin) was a member of the victorious woman's doubles team. May has raised a family and is getting at an age where old Father Time should be putting her in the discard but she can yet wield a rather mean racket. If Helen Willis can keep up her game as long as May has then America will have a great tennis player many years yet to come.
Next Saturday Tommy Gibbons takes on Jack Bloomfield, the English heavy champ in a 29-round bout in London. Tommy was out of matches here in America.

It is settled that champion Ed Strangler Lewis is to take on Toots Mondt in a title match at the Philharmonic Auditorium. Wednesday evening, Aug. 13th. It is to be a decision affair, the match being a best two out of three falls affair with a two hour limit. If neither has secured the two falls then the referee is to pass the decision. Toots gave the Strangler a real tussle in their last meeting and the Champ will find the Cowboy no easier to toss now than at their last meeting.
Lewis is on his honeymoon and will have his young wife pulling for him to win, which should help him some. The Strangler is a college chap, and knows how to fold his napkin properly at a six course dinner as well as clamp on the head lock in a wrestling match. It takes brains to be a champion in any line of sport. The rough neck can only reach so far with their physical powers, it takes brains to climb the top rounds of the ladder.
The Glendale ball tossers had won 25 straight games in the semi-pro ranks up to Sunday, but they went to mill once too often. The Navy Champs, the San Diego Air Station nine, put a crimp in the Pale Hose nine's winning streak. The score was 4 to 2 and the game was played before a crowd of 5,000 people.
