In the swing through the east, espe-
cially in the closing series at Wash
ingtOn, Reb was either pitching or
warming up continuously. He
pitched in Detroit, and then again
yesterday after warming up for more
than half an hour.
Result, he was soft for the Yanks,
who drove him from the slab, an I'M
usual occurrence when Reb mounts
the hill.
This day of next week should see
the Hose in first place, for they will
have put in eight games against the
Mackmen while the other cOntenders
are fighting among themselves.
Western clubs repulsed the east at
all points, the blow being a heavy
one to the three fasteners who are
in the flag hunt BOstOn's defeat
pulled that team down to one full
game ahead of the locals, and the
teams are so evenly matched that
such an upset is quite probable.
jackson poIed three hits. Schalk's
triple with the bases full in the first
inning was the most important blow
of the game. Ed Collins did not hit,
but crossed the pan three times, get
ting that many passes.
In the sixth inning there was the
unusual sight of a pinch hitter bat
ting for a pinch hitter. Liebold
opened for Russell in that frame with
a double. When it came Nemo's time
to bat again a sOuthpaw was work
ing for the Yankees, so it was

was certain to explode into small par
tiCles when he faced the next enemy
batter from the hill.
But now it is a different story.
Claude, day in and day out, is the
most effective of Tinker's rifemen
and can work as often as when he
was the reliance of the Pittsburgh
pitching staff a few seasons ago. He
beat Brooklyn and the Giants here
and performed both feats handily.
His game against the Giants went
10 innings. The New Workers made
three hits and a single. Yesterday
Claude battIed Boston II frames, al
lowed four hits and two runs. Seven
hits and three runs in q innings is
a pretty fair article of pitching.
Some more pitching of this sort
from other members OF the cast and
the Cubs will return home safely in
the first division. They are half a
game ahead of New York. Though
they have COPIED fewer than half
their battles, they are but five games
from second place, and this is no in
sUrmOUntable obstacle, especially to
a team which is playing better ball
each day.
Zeider and EVers had a fight and
both were canned. EveTs was the
aggressOr and his trouble was with
Umpire EasOn, his old nemesis. After
John was canned his sub made a
wild throw that gave the Cubs
victory.

Freight RATES
TOCOASTFROM
MANUFACTURER
Government Officials Predict
Relief for Shippers of
Islands Products

According TO government officials,
who are in touch with the Manila
freight situation, IL is now much easier
to secure space for export shipments
bound for the Pacific coast than il has
been for many months past, and
rates for such shipments are now low.
er than at any time this year.
Relief for importers, who are con.
cerned with getting shipments from
tho United States to Manila, is not
forthcoming, however, state the same
officials, who declare that from the
Pacific coast to Manila no space is
available ordinarily except on the reg.
ular passenger liners which operate
on fixed schedule
In explaining the, reason for re-
duction in freight rates from the is
lands TO the coast, the officials state
that the change may be accounted for
by the fact that most of the freighters
in the transpacific service are under
contract for carrying cargo consigned
to the Russian government at Vladf.
yostok, and that, once unloaded and
released at the port, they are on the
market for charter to carry goods
from the Orient to the Pacific coast
once more. G
For several months more than a
hundred vessels were held up at the
Russian port owing to the fact that
there were no facilities for unloading
their cargo with despatch, but now it
would appear as though the Russian
government had made adequate ar.
fangements for handling incoming
freight, and, as a result, a large num-
Der of boats have been released dur
ing the past month. These vessels
have become available for charter by
Philippine exporters, and a certain
amount of competition has sprung up
among boats, none of which care to
return to the United States in ballast
IL this can be avoided. The fact that
tonnage is thus made available, and
that such competition does exist, has
naturally tended to bring charges
down, and now local exporters are
benefiting. #-
With regard to shipments from the
United States, the same is not the
case, however The shortage Of ton
mage which has been felt by importers
here for many months still continues,
and, at least so far as the government
officials quoted are concerned, the reg.
ular passenger liners are the only
ones upon which cargo space can be
secured. 81.

COAL SHIPMENTS
OF AUSTRALIA
FALL OFF i.

Coal exports from Newcastle, Aus.
tralia, 10 the Hawaiian Islands fell
off in 1915 nearly so per cent from
that shipped here in 1914. During
1914, 556,43f tons OF coal were brought
here, while in 1915 only Isl PSF were
exported TO these islands. CbaI
shipped to Sohth America and the
United States als0 shows q big
slump IN 1915, the difference between
that sent in 1914 and 1915 being close
TO 40 per cent. The coal shipped from
Australia during the first four months
OF this year averages very close to
that shipped during the same months
last year.
The reason for the falling off of
shipments of coal, II seems, is that
many sailing vessels are now engaged
in taking lumber from the Sound ports
TO Australia and prefer TO return to
the coast in ballast in order to secure
a return cargo OF lumber at tie high
rates which now prevail.
A large proportion OF the coal
shipped from Newcastle TO Honolulu,
the United States and the west coast
OF South America is carried in sailing
vessels. Several cargoes have been
forwarded in Norwegian steam ves-
sells, and during 1915 there were two
Mexican steamships taking coal from
Newcastle 10 Hawaii. A considerable
amount Of coal is carried in French
sailing vessels TO these points. There
are also occasionally Chilean and Pc
ruyian calling ships leaving here With
eargoes OF coal. There Is at present
q possibility OF American coal meet.
Ing some of these demands in foreign
markets
The cost OF the Coal at the mine
mouth in Australia is not very differ.
eEt from what it is in the United
States. The Atlantic seaboard has the
advantage for all points mentioned ex-
cept the Hawaiian islands. OF course
the Panama canal tolls must be taken
into consideration, but for Callao the
great difference in the distance should
overcome that item, as It is more than
twice as far from Newcastle as ii is
from New York. From New York to
Valparaiso there is saving of 200O
miles.
