Glove Mascot of All Players
Crane Tells of Elberfeld's Mitt|

forts of the Giants have not resulted
quite so winnirgly we like to go back
to that period-but we digress.
In the last game the Jersey Citys
played this year-or near the last
anyhow-Mike made a home run that
had big influence on the final result.
In fact, | think it was Mikes circuit
clout that won the game for the
"Skeeters." Mike was considerably
elated, and then some. Mike, be ii
said-and I am FORGETTING no conf
dence-is slated to manage the
"Skeeters" next year, and that homer
was a great big spike for him with
the club owners.
the consequent celebration-for Jersey
City did not have so many victories
to occasion the shooting off of many
tireworks-Mike lost his glove.
And, by the way. there was prize
of so pounds of tobacco that went
with the 'rBakerite."
Anyhow, Mike peeked out through
the halo that encircled his brow and
bethought himself of that glove.
They All Disappeared.
A Jersey small boy was handy
just the same as they are In Harlem
and all over the world-and Mike
tossed him half dollar to go get that
glove. And Mike, having confidence
in the kid. also gave him an order for
that so pounds of tobacco.
Neither the glove, the tobacco nor
the kid showed up
Mike had all the wires" working
he could think OF to locate the kid, in
Guiding Joe Humphrey. who an
nounced the sad loss from every prize
ring in Greater New York.
Then Mike was asked to go around
the world with the Giants and the
loss of the ancient mitt doomed up in
bigger proportions
Police Took Up the Hunt.
The police Of Jersey City were mott
fled and squads of detectives were put
on the job.
We hesitate to say that JERSEY City
detectives are better than the Waldo
board, but I will say the glove was
received. About the so pounds of to
bacco / know not.
That glove was shipped by parcel
post yesterday to Mike.
The Jersey City small boy is still 1T
liberty. but only because Mike Is on
his way around the world.

WOLGAST NOW
DUE To RETIRE,
SAYS NAUGHTON
Expert Says Ad Should Have
Walked Out of Game With
Battle After Recent Go.
By w. w. NaughtOn.

@ AN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27.-Very
\ evidently the reunion held in
Milwaukee recently by Ad VOL
CAST and Battling Nelson left the two
ancient fire. eaters in bad shape. VOL
CAST is laid up with a splintered rib
and has had to forego the pleasure"
of boxing Charlie White. of Chicago.
Ad is careful not to let Nelson get
the credit of inflicting the damage. He
says that the rib was bent slightly
while training for Nelson, but that he
did not suffer any distress or incon-
venience while boxing the Dane. Then
when he began to train for White a
jolt from a sparring partner fractured
the rib and a doctor called a halt on
further ring activities for while.
The brush with Wolgast worked
injury to the most vulnerable portion
of Nelson's anatomy, to wit, his hands.
Bat is as hard headed and rock
ribbed as in the years when the writer
dubbed him the Durable Dane, but
latterly he has had to visit bone doc
tor Reese after every bout he en-
gagged in.
It is to be presumed that what
Bonesetter Reese said after this most
recent visit has had a discouraging
effect. for Nelson says he has deter
mined TO retire from the ring.
OF course, Bat has retired before
many times, for that matter-but he
wants it to be understood that all
previous retirements simply led up TO
this one This is not to be a Patti
farewell, but John L. Sullivan good
bye Not even the prospect of an
other crack at Wolgast will bring
Nelson forth from his shell again.
Wolgast says he is merely laid up
for a while. Still those who saw the
old rivals in action in Milwaukee
think that Wolgast and Nelson should
have thrown their arms across each
others shoulders, like a pair of Dro-
MOS, and walked out of the game to-
gether.

Western League Will
Undergo Big Change

ST. JOSEPH, MO. Oct. 27.-The
belief here is strong to-day that sew
eral new teams will appear on the
roster which now comprises tho
Western League. Following the meet
ing of the board of directors, this be-
came known, and the report was
practically corroborated by John Hol-
land, owner of the local franchise,
who favors plans for a revolution.
The league now is composed of ST.
Joseph, Lincoln, Des Moines, Sioux
City. Omaha, Topeka, Wichita and
Denver.
Topeka, Wichita and Sioux City,
according to the plans. will be
dropped. and Peoria, ILL.,. Davenport.
Iowa. and Minneapolis will be added.
This is brought about by the poor
showings which have been invaria-.
bly, made from a financial standpoint
by Topeka, Wichita and Sioux City,
considered the weak sisters Of the
league.

A. F. Awtrey Sends
a Letter Concerning
Jim Preas' Charges

The following letter explains Itself:
Asheville, N. c., Oct. "a. 1913.
Sporting Editor Georgian:
Dear Sir-I notice in your issue OF the
22d an article relating to the protest
ing of Mr.. Preas, a member of the
Georgia Tech football team, and>it ap-
pears that l am held responsible by
Tech supporters for this protest. l
consider 1t quite a presumption on the
part of whoever started the rumor to
come out boldly and make such state
ment, for l have had absolutely nothing
to do with this case one way or the
other
l can state frankly that do not know
who entered the protest and every Tech
man will admit that 1t has never been
the policy of the athletic authorities at
Georgia to protest men, so it seems they
are taking much for granted.
The article also stated that Preas had
been urged to go to Georgia by me,
which is another mistake. for he was
here but a few minutes while on his
way to Tech, and l merely asked him
where he intended going and did not
mention Georgia to him.
| can state emphatically that 1 know
nothing of this mans athletic record
and do not care TO know. and inclose
herewith q statement from Colonel
Bingham to substantiate my statement.
(Signed) A. F. AWTREY.
Asheville, N. c., Oct. %, 1913
| hereby certify that A. F. Awtrey has
never approached me in any shape or
form for the purpose OF obtaining in
formation regarding the thletic rela-
tons of this school with Mr.. j. H.
Preas, Jr., now at Georgia Tech.

n n r. AUGUST HERRM ANN now
|" has two major league presi-
dents arrayed against him OH
his little proposition to substitute for
the Worlds Series every fall an inter-
league schedule, by which every
American League club will play every
National League club a series of eight
games, the worlds champion being
decided as the pennant winner in the
league which comes out on top.
If you have had the patience and
persistence to unravel that Dickens
esque sentence, you may be somewhat
impressed with the idea of the august
Mr. August Hermann.
We were-at first. And even since
Messrs. Tom Lynch and Ban John
son have declared against it, we are
able TO find some points in its favor
MR.. HERRMANN'S plan was to cut
IVl down the playing schedule of
the two major leagues to about two
thirds of It's present size. and occupy
the time thus saved by putting on an
intereague schedule by which to de-
termine the champion league" The
pennant winner in that league, of
course, would be entitled to the
worlds title.
THE plan of the 64-game schedule
l presents certain interesting
points.
Assuming that il was applied TO the
respective league finishes of this sea-
son, we should have the entertaining
spectacle OF the mighty Athletics pit
ted alternately against the Giants and
the lowly Cardinals--and certainly the
st. Louis bunch wouldn't fare much
worse at the hands of Collins, Baker
& Co. tran did the National champs.
On the other hand, the smuggling
Philadelphia Nationals array would
be encountering the Browns and the
Yankees, striving to get back for the
National League some of the points
won for the American by the proves
of the Athletics.
And, OF course. there would be more
equal strife among the Cubs and the
Sox, Pirates and Maps, Tigers and
Braves and so on down the roster.
II really would be entertaining. And
for a couple of months there would
be a vast amount OF figuring needed
to keep up with the Kaleidoscope
shifts in standing, with one whole
league playing against another

WYOMING COAL MINES ACTIVE
Production For 1912 Valued at Nearly
s12,0oo,o00 State Has a Vast
Coal Reserve

The coal production Of Wyoming IN
1912, according to Edward W. Park
er of the United States Geological
Survey, amounted to 7,36S,124 short
tons, valued at 311 ,64S,0Ss, an increase
of 623,260 short tons in quantity and
OF 81, 139,225 in value over the figures
for 1911. The output in 1912 was the
largest in the history OF the state
with one exception (1910), but in 1910
conditions were abnormal, a shortage
Of fuel caused by a six months strike
among the coal miners in the Central
and Southwestern States having caus-
ed an unusual demand upon the coal
producing districts OF the ROCKY
Mountain states. The production in
1911, while less than that in 1910,
showed normal gain over 1903 and
that OF 1912 exhibited similar nor
mai increase over 1911. The region
supplied by Wyoming coal was bless
ed with bountiful crops in 1912, and
the metallurgical and other industries
were in a prosperous condition, which
was reflected not only in the increase
in production over 1911 but in an
advance in the average price a ton
rom 81 90 to s1.b8. -
Coal mining in Wyoming gave en-
ployment to S.036 men for an average
of 23s days in 1912, against 1924 men
for an average of 230 days in 1911.
The labor efficiency in Wyoming is
among the highest in the country, us
ually showing an average production
per man per year Of over 900 tons
In 1912 this average was 9l7 Accord
ing TO the United States Bureau of
Mines, there were "a deaths by acct
dent in the coal mines OF Wyoming
during 1912 an increase OF l over
