Miner

So did Evan Markin.

Leading rushers for the Miners, Levante Kenny, six carries, 61 yards and a touchdown.

Maybe on Joplin, five carries, 50 yards and two touchdowns.

Also, on the defensive side, Tegan Hackney, senior linebacker with 18 tackles.

And at the measuring stick, the stiffest test of the year.

So far for Mingo Central, it'll be next week on Miner Mountain as the Patriots of Independence comes down.

And last year, Indy hung a pretty good loss on the Miners.

Yeah, and Independence has the week off this week because their game got canceled.

Four soldiers are buried here today.

Back home in New South Wales, the Newcastle Morning Herald and Miners newspaper in February 1918 said this Mrs Stevenson of Yonge Street, Carrington has received a letter from an officer of the battalion to which her son the late Lance Corporal Thomas Stevenson was attached.

The writer of the letter, after offering the sympathy of himself and the officers and men in the battalion, says, "'Tom was very popular with us all, and we hope it might be a little consolation to you to know that he died while doing his duty so very pluckily and thoroughly.

We were in the front line at the time, and a trench mortar bomb burst in the post where Tom was, killing him and two others.' He received wounds rendering him unconscious and died in a few minutes.

It shouldn't be too much of a serious injury that is going to prevent him from playing in the playoffs, or at least that's the hope from the Yankees that he just needs week and a half off or a couple weeks off, and then he can be back at full strength.

In a corresponding move, shortstop Anthony Volpe is expected to be recalled from the Miners.

And lastly, outfielder Josue DePaula is expected to have his contract selected from the Miners tomorrow.

The 21-year-old left-handed batter is the Dodgers' number one prospect, and he's the number six prospect in all of baseball, according to MLB Pipeline.

DePaula has played at AA this year, batting .302 with 26 homers, 31 steals and a 143 WRC plus.

But nothing had been done about it.

The local Borough Council and the National Union of Miners were both completely exonerated.

Most shocking of all, on the orders of Harold Wilson's Labour government, part of a massive relief fund coordinated by the mayor and collected from all over the world was appropriated to make the remaining slag heaps safe.

Families suffered the unbelievable indignity of being means-tested by the Charities Commission as to the closeness of their relationship with their dead child.

Chapter five.

The Miner.

The coal miner is foremost among those who are constantly risking their lives and limbs to obtain a livelihood.

His life is one of constant and terrible peril, and the conditions under which he labours are of the most trying description.
