AL AIlAuIh-ENGW OTECdHS dAiO ASaAhs@s <. othis stockdale had the sympathy of | everybody at the ball grounds, for never has a pitcher worked harder to win. he took part in two of the prettiest oouoie plays one cares to see-starting both or | them-got two hits, five put outs and two assists He fielded his position in mag nificent style and but for the fact that the game was thrown away for him in
 the first four innings, would have won Dy The Black Sox gave a superb exhibi- ton of fighting an uphill game, played
 bralliant ball after the third inning,
 knocked Dolan out of the box, tied the score in the fifth and, but for bad decision of Umpire Latham on Harry Manners, would have won the uphill fight in the sixth.
 In the third inning Clark showed a case of stubbornness and Manager Whistler promptly put him out of the game, Harry Manners going behind the bat and catch ing a pretty game. Link Stickney and
 Moiesworth led in the hitting, each get ting three hits, two of Stickney's being run getting two-baggers.
 A couple of wild throws and Delehanty's s hit in the first inning put three runs over for the Travellers. one more being added in the second on Franks three bagger and Spratt's error.
 Link Stickney cashed out a two-bagger in the last half of the second. scoring on Spratt's drive, Spratt scoring on
 stockdaie's long hit, leaving the score 4 and 3.
 throw of Kid Busch, Clark making no attempt to get him out at third. Lynch scoring on a passed ball. Then Clark was taken out of the game.
 In the last half of the fifth something happened to poor Dolan and the way in which the Black Sox punished him was terrible. Mailing started 1t by juggling Burnetts hit, Childs hit safe, but was forced out at second on Molesworth's hit, Burnett scoring. Mailing booted Man ners's hit, both Molesworth and Man ners scoring on stickney's second two- bagger and third hit of the game. Stick ney scored on Spratt's drive for two-bags, Spratt scoring on Buschs hit, Busch get ting out while trying to stretch a base on Stockdale's long hit. This was five runs and the Black Sox were once more heroes, having tied the score.
 Guesef relieved Dolan after this, but fin the last of the sixth Burnett hit safe, Chields was out on a fly to Delehanty Manners was up next and had three balls and two strikes called on him. One more ball would have forced In run and won the game. The next ball Guese shot In almost of the ground yet Latham called 1t strike. Burnett who was on third not hearing the umpire's decision and thinking of course that it was a ball had started to the plate and before he could
 scramble back to the bag Lynch had fielded the ball to Delehanty and the side
 was retired spelling, as 1t afterwards de-
 veloped, the last chance of the Black Sox. Nothing was done by either side in the
 ninth, but in the tenth hits by Wright. Heniegan. Mailing and Guese put three
 runs over.
 With two down in the last half of the 10th Burnett smashed out hit, going to
 third on Child's hit and scoring on Moles-
 worth's hit, Child's being caught at third and ending the game with the score ten and in favor of Little Rock.

Congress and the Coal Famine.

Prompt action should be taken upon
Chairman Jenkins resolution introduced in
the House today looking to a disclosure Of
the powers of Congress in the matter Of
solving the fuel problem by government
seizure of the coal fields during the re-
mainder of the winter. The question is
practically new one. and the complica-
lions involved are serious. But the situa-
ton is also serious and there seems to be
no effective means Of meeting the needs OF
the people short of some such drastic rem
edy. AS The Star noted yesterday, the
while these two months will be the most
severe of the season. entailing the greatest
suffering. there is no time for resultiess de-
bate or investigation. Mr.. Jenkins has pro-
posed perhaps the shortest cut to remedial
action. If the judiciary committee finds
that the government has no power what
ever in the premises. the suggested action
will naturally be set aside. But II. On the
other hand, there is power. then whatever
follows should be prompt and sweeping. SO
unusual an emergency measure should be
given It's maximum effect Immediately. II
at all, and it would be waste Of activity
if the remedy We're applied just as winter
wanes into spring. 1t Is unfortunate that
this research was not ordered Immediately
upon the converting of Congress, when 1t
was assured that there would be fuel
shortage, and every indication pointed to
great public distress. Whatever comes Of
the movement it will be enlightening for
the public to he informed just how far Con-
gress can go in It's relief in such dangerous
situations as the present.

Judge Taft's Declination.

Judge Taft's self-sacriflcing decision to
remain at his post in the Philippines will
doubtless be joyfully received by the people
of the archipelago. 1t is well known that
the Supreme Bench offers great induce
ments to Judge Taft. He has the judicial
temperament and has had a valuable and
pleasant experience on the highest SUBJ
ordinate bench Of this country. Every per-
sonal inclination must have drawn him to-
ward acceptance of this opportunity to be-
come a member Of the highest court of all,
that haven of every jurIst's hope. But the
demonstration in Manila the other day
doubtless convinced him that he is now OF
more service to the United States in the
orient than he would be on the bench. This
country at least so appreciates his services,
and as The Star said yesterday. clearly
the F'ilipinos similarly appreciate their civil
governor. In view of the great work To be
done in the archipelago. in extension Of
that already accomplished. there Is perhaps
more urgent need Of such a man as Judge
Taft in the governorship OF the archipela go
than in any other position in the public
service,

than the latter? Massachusetts is not In,
and cannot be brought into. the democratic
calculations. Strong as Richard Olney un-
doubtedly Is In the good oponion Of his
party associates all over the country. there
would be no hope in case of his nomina-
ton of carrying his own state. But Peter
B. Olney as the mayor of the metropolis OF
the pivotal state of New York would loom
large on the horizon, and be figure of
most interesting proportions. New York
cannot for a moment be forgotten. and in
considering it the democrats must be care
full to appraise the local leaders at their
true worth.
Then as to Judge Parker. How would he
measure alongside of Mayor Olney? His
boom rests largely upon assumptions. No
presidential considerations entered into the
race when he was elected judge Of the high
est court in the state. He might and he
might not prove strong as political can
didate. But Mayor Olney. with triumph
distinctly political and achieved on the very
eve Of the opening Of the presidential con-
test, would appeal to the practical politi-
clans everywhere. Peter B., and not Rich
ard, may be the coming Olney.

A Second Olney in the Field.

Peter Il. Olney for mayor OF New York?
That Is the latest suggestion. and it is an
Interesting one. Mr.. Olney is q lawyer of
distinction. has held political office, and has
good record. He helped smash the Tweed
ring. or hate years ne has been In retire
ment, but not out of touch with public
men or public affairs. He Is but little past
sixty years of age is a man of yigor, and
In comfortable circumstances. He can af-
ford office. and has demonstrated his ca
pac!ty to administer affairs of importance
with marked success. Suppose he should
be nominated and elected mayor of New
York next fall?
The democrats failed to carry the state
In November. Their attempt was an ambl-
tious one. Mr.. Coler in the governors chair
at Albany guided by the counsel of David
b. ELL, would be able 20 exert a strong in
huence on New York's part in the next
presidential race. Factionalism however
made shipwreck of the attempt and the
republicans remain intrenched there So
now for the city. Can the democrats re-
take that? They need il sorely in their
business. In possession again of the city
hall they would be able to utilize the vast
patronage of the municipality for political
ends. and Pile up an enormous vote for
their presidential electors.
Mr.. Olney Is brother Of Richard Oiney.
II the former should be elected mayor of
New York would he not be better man for
his party's national leadership next year

Naval Academy Hazing.

The breaking OF a naval cadets jaw in
the course of ''hazing fight" reopens the
question of discipline at the governments
academies. which the public had reason to
believe closed with the West Point inves-
LEGATIONS few years ago. 1t appears from
the facts in this case. as far as known that
hazing, in the sense OF the playing of pain
full tricks upon cadets. is not practiced at
Annapolis. But the third classmen have a
habit Of running certain cadets of the
fourth class. the latest entries A young
ster will incur the dislike Of an upper-class-
man and the latter proceeds to organize
sentiment against his junior. Sometimes
the entire class takes up the case and
makes the life OF the fourth classman mis-
cradle with taunts and jibes and open in
suits At last he Is forced to fight out of
self-respect and man OF approximate size
Is selected from the third class and these
two engage in duel with fists. There is
no personal quarrel between them. In the
case in hand the participants In the fight
had no personal enrity. Cadet Pearson,
fourth class. was the object of third class
dislike and Cadet Blasdell was picked as
proper opponent and was forced, under
class rules, to fight whether or no.
This is a more tyrannous system of haz-
Ing than the cld-fashioned rough and
tumble process through which cadets were
often compelled to go in their course through
the first year. The yourgster is bul,ied into
breaking an Academy rule and is then
punished. more often than otherwise. Oc-
casionally he wins his fight but he suffers
physically in the process The training at
Annapolis does not fall so short OF re-
Quirements in the making Of fit officers for

No Mercy for the Merciless.

From the Chicago News.
What do the coal operators think is going
to be the effect of all this? That there
have been extortioEate practices in the coal
business and that some OF the eastern
operators. in particular. have deliberately
undertaken to withhold a necessity of life
for the purpose OF profitmaking is ha-dly
to be doubted. The operators have opposed
the enforcement of laws which would inter-
fere with their misuse of their extraordi-
nary powers over both mines and railroads
They will not brook the suggestion taat
they be placed under further restraint, no
matter how reasonable. How long can they
expect this state Of things to continue? IF
in another winter" said Judge Grosscup IN
his address at the Hamilton Club dinrer
Saturday night, "a situation such as ex-
lists now with regard to coal should prevail
nothing could prevent an irresistible senti.
ment spreading over this state for the pub

who created the conditions that foroej the
people to demand 1t as a measure of self
