Fuel From Waste Coal.

A practical means Of saving the enor.
nous waste of coal by the present
mining methods is reported by John
L. Cochrane of the tecInologic bureau.
The results of series Of experiments
have been compared. and Mr.. Cochrane
reports that coal briquets can be made
from slack or waste coal and coal Of
inferior grades which are not marketed
at present. The waste is mixed with
or per cent of water gas pitch, then
pressed into cakes or bricks.
Ii has been shown. according to this
report, that the briquets furnish more
power from less weight in fuel thar
the regular coal from the same mines
Being lighter in weight than coal. the
briquets will serve good purpose In
the navy and also on railroads. II Is
claimed that the briQuets give off less
smoke than coal. An enormous guam
tity of waste coal is cast aside at the
mines. and inferior grades are left In
the ground untouched. The briquets
make valuable what was useless be
fore. and their manufacture will add
TO our stock Of fuel the equivalent OF
many million tons Of coal.

they have been playing the game in
diligently, Brains and baseball abil-
ity, when mixed. form a combination
that is hard to beat. and the Athletics
appear to have these qualities.
Last year the Mack men would have
won the pennant if they had played
better baseball in the early lap of the
race. But this early weakness was
really a blessing, for 1t showed Connie
that he had TO make a big change.
and this he did. with the result that
he has the present powerful lineup.
Mack has a number Of topnotchers.
whose work stands out above all. yet
the others. if less conspicuous. are
good enough to make a well balanced
machine.
In Collins and Baker the Athletics
have two of the surest hitters in the
country. Collins is a most battling
customer for pitcher to combat. for
he seems to be able to do almost any
thing with a ball. On the paths he
is both fleet and cunning. Baker is
homeric hitter of the Sam Thompson
school. He puts tremendous force be-
hind his swings, and when he meets
the ball right it travels like projec-
tile. Barry fits in nicely at short.
On the first corner Davis. although
is,
quarters of the young first basemen
and the superior of most at hitting.
while in headwork only Chance, the
Chicago first baseman. is his equal.
If Mack's outfield was a trifle weak
last year it is vastly improved this
season. Dan Murphy is the same old
sure catch in right and also power
full hitter The veteran Hartsel has
picked up wonderfully this season and
is in the thick of the run getting.
Oldriug is also showing steady i'm
provement and playing with his old
time confidence and dash. Behind the
bat Thomas and Livingston wear well.
The pitching staff has star performers,
men who have been under fire and are
reliable.
Plank and Krause are easily the best
pair of left handlers in the country. At
kins is another coming portsider. while
Coombs. Morgan. Dygert and Bender.
who recently pitched no hit-no run
game against Cleveland. are formula
BILE quartet of right handlers.
There is probably no other team in
the fast set so we'll fortified with bril-
Iiant-not merely fair-extra material.
McInnes. the kid infelder. is a won
der and no mistake.
Rath is another swift infelder. while
Strunk. the extra center fielder. is so
good that he may land one of the regu-
lar POSITIONS in the outfield. Heltmul-
Ter. big and brawny, can murder left
hand pitcher and Is invaluable in

catcher. is a good one.
A whole ton of press notices VIII not

the fact that Mack has a wonderful
team this year. Barring accideht7 u
is certain to be a pennant competito-
to the finish.
