Dear Sir:
| acknowledge your letter Of
the 18th, in which you advise
that five ears of Bernice coal
have been bought thru the Ber-
nice Coal Company, Chicago. |
beg to advise you that the. Ber-
nice Coal Company is a small
mail order concern operating out
of Chicago and they have ALSO
lutely no connection whatever
with our Company or with our
Berniee mines and they have
never purchased any of our Ber-
nice coal and are not ia position
to offer It for sale.
They have been flooding the
territory with literature solicit
ing orders from individual con-
sumers and flattering the people
they address by stating that on
account of the good rating Civ
en- them by the Mercantile Agen-
cy they will make them special
wholesale prices, etc. This bust
ness is run by man by the
name of Simon Levy. So far
as we have been able to learn
they have no mining connections.
simply picking up the coal where
ever they can get hold Of 1t.
They recently quoted a consumer
at Little Rock Bernice =Anthra-
cite and when the party wrote
them asking where the coal
would originate they replied that
it would originate at Spadra.
This concern formerly had a
small office at Birmingham and
our inquiry at that point devel-
opes that they operated there I'M
der several different names with
out success, their sales being
confined almost entirely to indl-
vidual consumers.
Il is coincidence that they
should take the name Of Ber-
nice Coal Company and | real
lie that IN territories where our
Bernice coal is known that this
is confusing and will probably
enable them to pick up some or
ders from the unihitiative till
the facts become known. | would
appreciate it very much If You
would send me the names of the
parties who have placed orders
with them with the expectation
of receiving our Berniee coal.
| would also like to ask
that YOU make it special
point to see these parties and ex-
plain that the coal they will re-
ceiye will not be Bernice. We
are still the sole producers Of
Bernice Anthracite and this cX-
cellent coal cannot be obtained
thru any other source The adj
vertisIng matter which these pco-
pie are putting out is very mis-
leading and is an imposition up
on the public and will only re-
suit in dissatisfaction and loss 70
anyone placing an order with
them expecting to receive genq-
Inc Berniee Anthracite.
With reference to moving pie
ture slides, | will have two or
three OF these made up and sent
to you in the very near future.
Respectfully yours.

there.
II is significant that Mr. Sinclair has
steadfastly refused to sell any of III.
players he controls, including Benny
Kauf, star outielder Of the late Fed
cral League; Lee Magee. George Ander-
Rousch and several others. Il is for
10 other reason. it would seem. than 10
wait and see just where the cat lands
land Mr. Sinclair. and with him will
come the best of the players he con-
trols.
Little space need be devoted here to
how greatly these players would
strengthen the Giants. Kauff would
be a great partner for George Burns
and Davey Robertson. The three would
round out a combination that would
compare favorably with any in the
game. Magee would undoubtedly make
a place in the infeld. while Whaling
would Gust one Of the catchers. As
for the pitchers. they would be vel
come supports 10 jeff Tesreau, who is
the only dependable boxmsn on Nc
GraV's nine at present.
But what OF it IL the denials so
freely made Yesterday end the ques-
tion: Cobb and Crawford and Alex

Giants.
1t was said last night that a meet

Mcssrs Hampstead, Sinclair and GaF-
ucy. but this, too, may be only idle
gossip.

Owner of Giants
Puts End to Rumor

From many and different quar-
tcrs comes the statement that Tie
control of the New York Giants is
about 10 pass from the present own
crs to several different interests.
Il would like TO state that neither
Mr. Gaffncy nor any of his repre-
sentatives has ever approached me
regarding the purchase of the New
York club.
1T has been a number of weeks
since Mr. Sinclair has taken this
subject up with me: therefore the
public may he assured that so far
as | know no sale of tho Giants is
pending.
THE citizens of New York City
have more than appreciated my ef-
forts. have no thought of being
tired of baseball, as has been sug-
gcstcd. Furthermore. there are no
differences between McGraw and
myself.

MASKED MARVEL" IN
WRESTLING DRAW
Battles for More than Two Hours
with Wladek ZbyszkO.

In one Of the most sensational bouts
seen in the international tournament
at the Manhattan Opera House The
Mysterious Masked Marvel" wrestlcd
with Wladck Ibyszko for two hours
and twenty-thrcc minutes last night.
with neither man able TO secure a fall
in that time.
Graeco-Roman style. at which the
bout was wrestled, was more TO
Zbyszko's liking than the Maryel's. and
the Poles extra forty pounds OF weight.
his greater height and reach were all
formidable factors against which the
masked man had 10 contend. The lat
ter fairly held his own, however. and
was quite as dangerous as his oppo-
nent when the match ended at mid
night.
As an illustration Of how evenly the
men were matched. il was lust ten
seconds short Of forty minutes before
either went 10 the mat. and then the
Marvel brought his man slowly down
with a head in chancery hold. Zby,zko's
physical advantages enabled Lin TO
take the aggressive, but the Marvel
met him half way at all times. After
an hour and half Of wrestling the
masked man almost had the Poles
shoulders pinned with terrible wrist
lock, but Zbyszko finally Topped out OF
harms way.
The two men were a great contrast
on the mat The man in the mask
broke the others holds by skill and
the quickness OF cat Zbyszko slipped
out Of danger by sheer strength. aided
By equal quickness. The Marvels
wrestling was distinguished By the
cunning Of the trained athlete; the
Poles, by the craftincss of an animal.
The big audience was enthusiastic
from beginning 20 end. standing up
20 cheer every time the Marvel secured
what looked like dangerous hold.

Herbert VOllmer SWin1S
to a NeW Worlds Mark
Covers $50 Yards in New
York A. c. Pool in
Amazing Time
of 1:29 As.
By l.. DE u. HANDLEl.

Herbert Vollmer. OF Columbia Uni
versity and the New York Athletic
Club, established q worlds swimming
record for 100 yards yesterday in the
75-foot home pool. He covered the
distance in the remarkable time OF I'm.
% 4-5s.
The former record Of In 80 POS was
set by Charles ". Daniels in England
, several years ago in a bath Of the same
length.
Duke Kahanamoku, the flying Ha-
waiian, covered the distance last wear
in I'm. 32s. in Honolulu, but he failed
TO comply with all regulations and the
mer's time is the fastest ever made
under any conditions.
The youthful swimmer set the new
mark IN the first heat of the metropoli-
tan l0O-yard championship, in which
Philip Herbert, of Columbia, and John
Curren. of the New York Athletic Club,
also started.
Vollmer was the last OF the trio off
the board. but his clean, powerful sin
gle trudgeon crawl carried him TO the
fore in dozen strokes and he IN
creased his lead foot by foot Al the
50-vard mark, turned in POS. he had
an advantage OF couple Of yards, AZ
the 100 wards. touched in 56s.. his mar
gin was more than FIVE yards. and ne
then swept on the extra fifty yards IN
perfect form. seemingly without undue
effort. In the heat Currcn finished sec
ond end Herbert third.
II is worthy Of mention that the 100
ward time made by Nollmer on the way
10 $50 wards was never cqualled III the
same pool except By himself. On De
cember { he was snapped IN % f-5s.
Daniels came closest 10 II when he did
II in SO los.
Nollmer wore full suit Yesterday,
as prescribed b. the rules of the In
ternational Federation, and FIVE watches
caught him, all held b. competent Off
Gals of the Amateur Athletic Union.
The slowest time was taken.
In view Of this no question about the
acceptance of the record can be raised.
The second heat Of the chsmpionshi p
race brought to the mark Teddy Cam,
the interscholastc champion from
Hamilton Institute; John Charles Lee,
ir., captain Of the Columbia swimming
team; Jerrold Smith, also Of Columbia,
and John Zimnoch, OF the New York
Athletic Club.
The men got away 10 a fair start and
for ifty yards swept along on an even
front, but after the second turn Lee
began 10 gain and until the last few
Yards ne appeared 20 have victory in
hand. Then Cam suddenly leaped for
ward and lust managed 70 nose him
out.
Smith was a close third. with Zim-
noch only inches behind him. Cams
time was 90 los.
Zimnoch was the last TO hit the wa
ter, from a poor take-off, and this prob
ABLY cost him the chance to qualify.
The final heat Of this race will be
decided at the New York Athletic Club
on Wednesday evening.
