ToxopAH FEARS COAL FAMINE.

Unless conditions change. Tono-
pan coal experience this winter will
equal that underwent in 1907 Is the
pith Of some remarks made by ". D.
Foster general superintendent Of the
Tonopah & GoIdheld railroad. says
the Tonopah N~evadalan.
As near as can be learned there
are about 100 tons OF coal now en-
route from the coal fields Of
Wyoming and Utah 70 southern Ne
vada. and there viii not be much
more coming IN for the next few
weeks unless more cars can be OBJ
tanned. It is not altogether the fault
OF the railroad companies. either, as
for several weeks past they have been
willing [ o ship the coal IN open cars
but Nevada dealers have been de-
mading closed ones. Not being able
TO furnish these, because OF the de-
mand for them In the east and mid
die west in order TO move the crops,
orders have been held back, so il now
looks as II there would be a paucity
Of coal for the next few weeks and
perhaps for the winter.
IN order to partially relieve the
situation. the Tonopah & Goldfeld
has offered the use of fifty cars now
on their tracks to the Union and
Southern Pacific railroads. and the
offer has been accepted.

Both teams in yesterdays game, which
went to American Security, to z. fur

having a fault which worked to its dis
advantage. Post Office slipped up in the
field and allowed it's opponents to take
the game for this reason. On the other
hand the Bankers got away with a vic
tory on slight hitting. and must necessa-
rily brace this department if they expect
to work effectively against the other
strong teams in the section. But one
earned run for either side was secured
by the Malmen.
There was little to choose between
Greene and Ferguson, the opposing slab
men. Both pitched their usual steady
game, but the support afforded the lat
ter robbed him Of any chance for a win
Greene retired six by strikes, while the
Post Office hur,er famed one more. Fer

this to Zachary.
Jimmy Kerr was to the fore again
with a daring catch in center. Not salts

robbed Hayes of an almost certain hit. by

Kraft again caught steady game, and

allowed as many runs they did had it
not been for the misplays of the men
behind them. Errors at critical moments
were responsible for several of the runs.
There was little difference noted in the
work of the pair. but, if anything. Greene
had the edge on his opponent. He al
lowed more hits, but that signifies very
little. He was a bit steadier than the
Post Office boy who did not seem to be
i'm as good shape as he might have been.
FerguSon's curve would not break right
for him all the time, and he cut loose
wild pitch or two. About the best of
Ferguson's work was when. after :wo
men had reached second and third. he
frightened up and struck out the next
two who faced him. Greene was simply
Greene. He was steady, always pitching
in the cool. calculating manner that has
generally characterized his work.
If the Cornell club is benefited by tight
pitching. it is likely to win from Pepco
today The Paperhangers have shown
consistent ability to score runs against
any of the clubs they have met, and t! DIT
is the main asset which in the majority
of the cases wins ball games.
