Flagrant Case in Albany.

purposes in the future TO take drastic
measures with those who make or cause
to be made bona-fide entries to games
and for no satisfactory reason fail TO
compete.
In regard to these particulars the pub
lis has been bambooZled long enough.
Sport lovers have become thoroughly
aroused, not only here in Manhattan.
but all over the metropolitan district.
An instance of this outbreak against
fake is offered in the communication
which the registration committee receiv-
ed from Albany, asking If something
could not be done toward Furnishing the
team of New York athletes who, In ap-
parent good faith. entered the open ath-
letic meet at Albany Decoration Day,
| thereby, owing to the advent of cham
| pion athletes and men OF crack reputa-
| ton, causing the meet to be extensively
advertised and drawing to the grounds
| many-were II not for the outside par
ticipants-who would have stayed away.
Sent No Word.
Then not only did they stay away from
the meet, but they ignored the proceed
ings entirely. and did not even have
;courtesy enough to send regrets. Were
! it not that the committee had already
suspended the team on other charges
they would have been dealt severely
with on this count, bur as 1t stood, the
| motion was laid on the shelf for further
deliberation. Now in this especial case.
the blame lay with the athletes them
| selves, who being members OF a mill
tary organization, knew they could not
absent themselves from the annual
Decoration Day parade.
! But In the majority Of cases the re-
soonsibility of the offense Is placed on
either the manager of an athletic team.
! who takes 1t upon himself to enter the
individual competitors without first see
| ing the men and learning whether OF
not their pleasure allows or their busi-
ness permits them 10 compete-or or
| the supervisor or. executive head of q
! meet, who is so f1agrantly dishonest and
| unprincipled as to cause to be printed
IN the programs or inserted In the papers
beforehand for the purpose of Inislead-
ing the public, the names of crack ath-
letes and celebrated performers from
whom he has not received entries ol

COAL TRADE REVIEW.
CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK FOR
BUSINESS AS SEEN BY
BLACK DIAMOND.

Chicago, Aug. 5.--The Black Dia-
mond, official organ or the coal In
dustry, reviewing western market
conditions today says:
Never in the history of the west.
ern coal trade we're the markets in
any worse shape than at present.
Prices are practically demcralized
on practically every grade OF coal
sold in the west, with the single ex-
ception OF the smokeless product,
which is holding steady and firm.
1t constitutes the only bright spot
in tn esftuation. Even anthracite in
the hands Of jobbers has participat-
ed in the demoralized price situa-
ton, and insome instances where IL
Is drawing car service the prepared
sizes are selling at figures twenty
to thirty cents below the circular
basis. ..
From the best information which
the Black Diamond can obtain the
tonnage Of coal at Chicago has shown
steady increase during the week,
until at present II amounts almost
to congestion. fhe yards at both
the main north and south lines are
filed with coal Some lump product
from Illinois has sold during tho
week at seventy.fve and eighty cents
I o. b. the mine. At the least calcu-
lation, under the most favorable con.
ditions, II costs 500 to s1.10 to. pro-
duce this coal, and the difference
amounts to a direct loss.
