Tho Value Of Publicity.
Richmond, Va, Dispatch.


The coal operators OF Pennsylvania
have learned one important lesson
since the strike three years ago. At
that time they were very reticent. They
never had anything for publication
when the reporters were around and
left the newspaper men to get their
information as best they could The
representatives of the strikers were
very much more sensible and did not
hesitate to give out news from their
called. It IL now announced that the
anthracite coal operators have ar
ranged to supply the press with all
possible information. To that end q
man has been designated with head
quarters In New York, to answer all
inquiries concerning the situation and
to supply the press with all matter
! that It II possible to give out.
| This IL day Of publicity and the
press IL the means Of communication
Whenever any public or quasi-publit
organization tries to conceal from thu
people that which the people thin1
they have the right to know, the people
grow suspicious and are apt to imag'

corporations to be frank and open b
all their dealings. and 20 long a. the,

GRID.IRON GOSSIP
Pennsylvania defeat at the hands

Pennsylvania defeat at the hands Of
Swarthmore was a remarkable example
OF faults and necessities under the new
rules. There Is no mistaking the fact
that Swarthmore played better than
Penn, but both elevens showed glaring
weaknesses.
The greatest lesson Of the game on
Franklin field was the cost OF offside play
and holding. Under the new rules penal
ties are severe. and referees like PA"
Corbin will enforce them. They deprived
Penn. OF two excellent chances TO score
from the Swarthmore three-yard line but
that was only one OF the reasons she did
not win.
The Quakers have no field general.

LYNCH To MEET
EDDIE WALLACE

Johnny Lynch Of Cambridge and Eddie
Wallace OF Philadelphia face each other
in the feature bout OF the Standard Ath-
letic exhibition tomorrow night.
This main go is one or 15 rounds. Lynch
is one Of the cleverest boys seen in this
city in some time. He has appeared be-
fore the local fans on several occasions
and each time has made himself more
and more popular. Wallace, white an un-
known quantity in this vicinity comes
with a good record having fought and
whipped some Of the fastest men in his
class in and about "Quakertown." He Is
a worthy opponent for Lynch and their
contest should be a hummer
The semi-final bout scheduled for
eight rounds. is between Eddie Jansen OF
this city and Mike Grady OF Webster,
Mass. The latter is the boy who put up
such game battle against Monk the
Newsboy in Webster, though Monk got
the decision after a tough battle. Jansen
Is fast, as is well known, and their con
test should be interesting.

min. II 3-5 sec, which is only a fraction
OF second behind the worlds record. AS
the track was heavy and slow this time
was considered remarkably fast.
Following closely at the heels of Harry
Hillman, the feet runner OF the n. Y. A.
c., TO whom he had given a start OF three
yards, Sheppard overhauled all the other
contestants before half the distance had
been run. and then shot past Hillman

Ten thousand admirers OF the Irish ath-
letes were present and cheered the con-
testants Justify as they competed in the
various events. Madtin Sheridan, Of
Olympic games fame, was loudly ap-
plauded when he made his appearance on
the field. and he was vociferously cheered
when he was proclaimed the winter Of
the discus handicap and the hop-step-and-
jump event. In the latter he defeated the
much-heralded Irish champion, Dennis
Lanigan. by nearly four inches.

speed, entitle him TO a chance 10 show
what he can do as tackle.
Yale's defence Is picking up, and new
plays are being worked out by the
