COAL COMPANIES SEEK
BIG REFUNDS

Philadelphia, June 1-Final briefs
were fled today with Examiner Ed
gar Watkins for the interstate COM
merce commission by five coal COM
panies and by the railroads involved
in the complaints which the coal
concerns have filed for the refund Of
$350,000. A decision in the case Is
expected in July.
The FIVE coal companies are located
in the eastern Pennsylvania district.
They seek to have refunded all freight
rates paid in excess of s1.90 and $1.40
ton on coal shipped from 1912. The
five companies joined four years ago
in complaints to the interstate COM
merce commission that the rates OF
these railroads on coal were exces-
sive. The commission sustained their
complaints and the rates were re-
duced.

Recent activity on the part of GER
tain Republican leaders to place
candidate other than the present in
cumbent in the field for nomination
for governor, has two-fold meaning
1t indicates the widespread disaffec-
tion in Republican ranks toward a
continuance Of the rule Of Governor
Frank B. Willis, and further gives
credence to the rumor that the gov
.ernor is In truth a candidate for the
Republican nomination for vice presi-
dent.
Declaration of candidacy for the
nomination has already been fled by
George Shaw prominent Cleveland
attorney. Authority for use of his
name as candidate has been given
by Rudolph w. Mack, dry leader OF
Hamilton county. Both of these men
will enter with a considerable follow.
ing, and while by the nature Of things
they must espouse the party disaffec-
aion with Willis, there is in their can
didacy an element Of political prepar-
edness for what the fates may bring
forth Inasmuch as they were both
staunch Willis men at the beginning
of the present administration and
will have to shoulder the administra.
tion record If nominated, as would
any other candidate, 1t must be con
cluded that their activity at this time
is actuated by foresight and the prob
able chance that Willis may not be
a candidate to succeed himself.
Should he be successful in putting
across a deal, as the chairman of the
Ohio delegation, by which the Burton
Ohio vote may be swung to give
someone the line of presidential nom
ination, Governor Willis will be well
in the line of vice presidential light
ming. That some such thought is
present in the minds of his managers
was given expression this week by
the forecast of his political supern-
1endent. Declarations OF candidacy
must be on file June g. The national
convention meets June 7. withdraw
al of the Ohio candidacy may take
place within fifteen days. SO that
while the personal organization of the
governor can override any aspirant
against him, the man who has his
declaration on file and his work start
ed, is only playing safe betting on
.eyentualities.

RED SOX PLAYERS
FINED BY JOHNSON

Chicago, Oct. H.-Aroused by the per-
sistent hunt for money exhibited by the
players of the major leagues, B. B. John
son, president of the American League,
publicly denounced such actions here to-
day and threatened to fine a half hun
dred or more players who have bean
guilty of Transforming" since the sea-
son closed. Especially is President john
son put out by the way the Boston Red
Sox went from the world series to New
Haven and played the New Haven Co.
lonials, who were led by Tyrus Cobb.
In this New Haven struggle every
active member Of the Red Sox was in the
game excepting Hooper and Gardner,
each OF whom had started for home.
Ruth pitched the game and Cady caught.
President Johnson said that inasmuch as
these players ignored the recent ruling Of
the league against transforming he not
only had fined them but would deny them
the use of the world championship emb-
lens, which annually are given to each
player on the title team.
Cobb, who played first base and prac-
tically led the New Haven team, also
Is to be fined, according to reports.
There are many others, including the old
Athletic stars who banded together and
played through Maryland and Southern
Pennsylvania, who are to come under the
lash Of Ban johnson.

ANOTHER FREAK PLAY
BY foster SANFORD
Multiple Kick" Is Latest Contribu-
ton by Coach of Rutgers.

New York. Oct. n--Foster Sanford has
them all heated up again. Football
coaches and critics are waving their
hands in a spirited discussion OF the So
called multiple kick" the latest contri-
button to the list of freak football plays
furnished by the Rutgers coach.
This is the way the kick Ia worked:
The two backs lie nat on the ground
facing each other. while the quarterback
stands above them. He takes the pass
from the center and places It in a cradle
made by the hands of the twoeprone play
ers. The fullback then runs up and
whangs It an awful wallop and the ball is
supposed to sail gracefully into the next
county.
The idea Is distance. The kick is Hr-
tually a kickoff, and II properly got
away, will carry much farther than the
average punt. 1t also is claimed that it
permits place kicks to be made at much
greater distance than when the quarter
back alone holds the ball.
But let's examine It for a moment. In
the first place. 1t is misnamed. It is not
a multiple kick at all. It's a kick which
calls for multiple handling of the ball be-
fore 1t is kicked. That has nothing to do
with It's efficiency, however. The play
Is not practical. except under certain con-
ditions The line in front OF 1t must be
a stone wall. There is no protection what
ever for the kick. All four backs are
busy getting 1t of and any lineman who
breaks through can block It with ease.
A strong opposing line should be able to
break through and block the kick about
half the time. 1t is picture play" but
one that is not destined to add much to
the kicking repertoire, unless signs fail.

CARROLL RUNNERS
READY FOR RACE

Carroll Institute, the only local club
supporting the long-distance game, will
enter a full team in the Baltimore News
twenty-mile marathon, on October 8.
The local clubmen are depending on
i've men to bring home the trophy
awarded the team scoring the lowest
number Of points; they are Lynch,
Healey, stouffer. Blumer and Stanley.
Mike Lynch, the we'll known distance
runner. who finished fourth in a twenty
six mile marathon. held recently ut
Sheepshead Bay, N. Y, is expected by
his teammates to cop the diamond stud
ded medal offered for first place.
Dan Healey, the sturdy little son Of
Ern's Isle, who finished fourth IN the
last twenty-mile race held by the Balti-
mire News, expects to better his position
in this event.
Little can be said Of Stoufrer, BIumer
and Stanley in a twenty-mile run, as
this will be their first attempt at that
distance, but Judging from the condi-
ton Of these two youngsters much can
be expected.
