Plenty of Hard Coal.

NEW YORK. Dec. 3i.-The following
statement was Luthoriz' d yesterday by
the anthracite operators:
Numerous reports have bean circu-
lated shat there is a shortage of an
thracitc coal and that the price is IN
Creasing at various points. As matter
of fact, there Is plenty of anthracite
above ground to meet all demands, and
the only difficulty Is that of distribu-
tion. Owing to slack buying during
the summer months less anthracite than
usual was delivered and, because of
the unprecedented congestion of freight
fewer cars are available for moving
II. Due to the demand in the foreign
trade. the available floating equipment
is also shorter than usual, while un-
loading is slower because Of general
pressure upon facilities.
There has been no recent change In
the wholesale price of anthracite. The
last was in 19i. when stove coal was
advanced - cents q ton: chestnut, Ii
cents, and pea, 20 cents. as an offset
to the rise IN wages granted that year
and to other increased mining costs.
This has been the only change In the
prices charged by the operators since
loDH. except in 1911. when chestnut was
advanced 25 cents. and in 1913, when m
adjustment was made to meet tho Penn
sylvania state tax on valuation.
THE operators are fully prepared to
fight the consumers battle by keeping
anthracit prices at their level. Since
1871 they have given discounts dnrinE
the summer months in order to distri-
butte purchases through the year. Only
force an increase in the wholcsa ic
prices. The present output and supply
are amply sufficient to meet all de-
mands.'

if those who played il took care 70
know the rules <his point is strongly
made by the Massachusetts COLI as
sociation in an ante season announce
ment, and at the same time the golIeFa
OF the Bay state are urged TO devote a
little study 10 the regulations
For instance, the beginning Of the
lengthy article is as follows
'Facilis est decensus Averni,' which,

All Explained.
The associations circular then pro-
ceeds 10 describe a teeing ground and
standing thereon Another point the
association takes up has TO do with
playing through in the event OF a
lost ball. Particular stress is laid on
the fact that II IL is not sufficient for
the pair in front TO have played their
second shots, but they must also be
out Of range"
D "A careless player is frequently
, heard TO say They've played their
second shots Go ahead The fact
that the party ahead have played their
second or next shots is not enough.
= Due regard for their safety and COM
fort demands that they should be al
lowed TO reach a position of absolute
security before the following pair con-
tinue their play"
Another point made by the associa-
tiOn is as follows:
a stroke IS the forward movement
Of the club made with the intention
Of striking the ball. or any contact
between the head of the club and the
ball. except in the case Of ball be-
7 ing accidentally knocked off the tee.
