WOULD END HIGH COAL PRICES
BY STRICT GOVERNMENT
CONTROL

Washington, May 21-Regulation by
governmental authority Of the prices
and distribution Of bituminous coal for
the period of the war Is recommended
in report Of the Federal Trade Com
Missions investigation Of the bitumin-
GUS coal situation, submitted to the
House today.
Three other remedies for the pres
ent high price Of bituminous coal are
recommended by the committee. They
are:
l. Improvement Of transportation
facilities.
2. Preservation Of the labor sup.
ply.
g.. Increase of storage facilities al
points Of consumption.
Pointing out the experience of most
of the belligerent European nations
which have had to meet similar prob
lem, the commission suggests that
under wartime conditions Il may b..
come the duty of the government no,
only to regulate the distribution Oi
coal from the mouth CT the nine IL
the ultimate consumers by al,pttinl
the product which the def dan
classes of consumers shall be ,wet
to purchase, but also to establ ii OF
some equitable basis the price b,

ers."
The commissions reports d5alar,
that at time like the present ices
sive profits should not be permi I'd I,
be extorted from the public b pro
ducers and shippers Of any pri ne
cessity."
The report is based upon test non
submitted by mine owners, railway
and consumers at public hearings hel
by the Commission here and at Chi
cago. 1t says that while the produt
tive capacity of the present mines ha
been ample the railroads have not ful
nished such cars to carry the ccal |
points Of consumption.
1t was found that cost of produ,
ton has mounted. but that contrac,

PAINTERS LOOKING. FOR SUCCESSOR ID
 COACH CHAS. BROWN
Last Years Coach Is Given Commission in Army. Watkins or Batson
 Slated for Job

Coach Charlie Brown. who so sue cessfully looked after Birmingham colleges football interests last year when he turned out winner for that institution, will positively not return to the school the coming football cam paign. This fact was learned Satur- day when it was learned that Coach Brown, who has been in training in the officers camp at Fort McPherson, had passed the final test and had been given a commission as an of ficer in the United States army.
 This means that those in charge of athletic activities at the Methodist in stitution will have to look about for new coach and it was announced Saturday that new man would be an- nounced Saturday that a new man would be announced within the next two weeks and that from that time on football activities at Owenton would be taken on with a new zeal
 While no definite announcement has been made to new coach two Birmingham men are being prominent ly mentioned in connection with the WOIh u IS SldlcQ DN lHOSo ClOSc tO the athletic body that George Wat kins may be signed. George is an old Sewanee star and has always been interested in the welfare of athletics at Birmingham. It is thought he would make an ideal man for the job.
 It is also being whispered around that Rad" Ratson, an old Auburn star. stands a good chance to get the job. Rad" coached Birmingham one year and gave the school a winner. It may be that he will be seen back at his old haunts the coming fall.
 But of course this is all matter of guesswork more or less. Ed Nor, ton, graduate manager of athletics at the school. stated Saturday that a new coach would be decided upon within two weeks and his name an nounced
 Birmingham's football stock re- ceived another boost Saturday when 1t was learned that John Warren full- back for last years team. had failed to pass all the naval requirements and that he would again be seen in har- ness for the Gold and Black the com ing fall. Warren was one of the best men on the team and his return to school insures the Methodists of II of last years men.
 While nothing definite has been de- cided about the training camp at the Jackson farm. it IS stated that the squad will be carried to some camp for two weeks prior to the opening of the school even though the Jackson camp be abandoned
 Another indication that the gridiron squad will be stronger this year than last is the statement of President F.. L. Coleback, who has just returned from trip through north Alabama that he has received more applications this year than any year in the history of the school. A large student body always gives the coach wider range to pick from.

CLASSIC AMATEUR SERIES SCHEDULED
 MIDDLE OF AUGUST
Double Bill Between Crack Amateur Teams to Clash at Redwood Field on
 August IS

Four favorites in the Tennessee Coal and Iron company's fast semi-pro league will play in a double bill at Redwood Field Saturday, August IS. The attrac- tion will bring together the greatest col lection of semi-pro talent in the history of baseball in the south.
 Former major leaguers. ex-Southern leaguers and many minor league players will represent the four teams battling for the supremacy to represent Birmingham in the National federation fall series for the worlds championship in Class A.
 Karl Landgrebe's far-famed team, managed by the original Dixie Walker, who made his rep with Washington, will battle the slugging Red Mountain eers, who are under the tutelage of Red Harris, an old Auburn hero of the grid and diamond and captain of the team Pitcher Milligan made his rep" on
 The second engagement brings together the marauding Corsairs and the pennant chasing Edgewater Submarines. Connie Welsh an old Birmingham favorte who made good with Baltimore. Is managing the slugging Pratt City crew. This team has many old Southern league favorites in it's lineup and Is one of the heaviest hitting teams in the history of baseball in Jones Valley.
 Fans are doubly assured of their moneys worth when these four fast teams come together.
 Edgewater Is managed by Claude Barr, who played baseball long. long ago in Birmingham and gave Edgewater her first pennant.
 Arthur Johnson and Walter Werner. former Barons, and many ex-Sally leaguers make up the Edgewater lineup. Manager Barr is said to possess in Craft one of the most promising youngsters in the district. Craft has been quite a sensation and it is said that his pitching is worth any fans time to lamp in ac- tion.
 Practically all the details for staging the double bill have been worked out by President Harry Urban of the T. c. L. league and w. D. Gresham. Tickets have been placed on sale in Red Noun tain, Pratt City, Ensley and Edgewater
 Ensley has challenged any two of the other teams to produce a crowd that will rival the section of rooters to represent Ensley.

SOUTHY HITS AGAIN
]. GUN CLUB SHOOT

There were only few shooters showed up for practice Saturday, but some good scores were made. Gentry Hillman led In both races He broke AS out of his 50 and 95 out of his 100. Hillman was powdering his targets. John Fletcher was next in line to Hillman with 45 out of his 50, and 91 out of his 100. Lee Moody was not quite up to his mark for Moody has been hitting it pretty lively tn these matches lately. T. K. Lee was not up to his mark
 Lee expects to attend the Grand Amer ican handicap and show them that Bir- mingham shooters can break a few tar gets. The south will be well rep- resented at this big shoot by some of the best shooters. Those who sexpect to attend are Lee Moody. T, K. Lee, Gentry Hillman, John Warren, H. C. Ryding, Jeff Blunt and John Living ston. These men are able to compete with the best in the country, and will be very apt to bring back some honors.

IS THIS POSSIBLE:

That would be somewhat better, but the question is: Can the Barons play win ming ball like tkat and the Pels and Crackers be handled by the clubs of the If this can be accomplished, then the rag will be won by Moley's men.
 Of the 21 games at home for the Barons, eight are with Atlanta, four with Mo bile. five with New Orleans and two with Chattanooga and Memphis, each. On the road the Barons meet the Crackers and Gulls twice. New Orleans and Memphis three times, Chattanooga and Little Rock four times. and the Vols in five games
 Today the Barons are in Chattanooga to start four game series with a dou- ble bill. Comstock and Mlligan will work for the Barons and Hill or Black working Monday and Ponder on Tuesday. The Barons are back at Redwood on Wednesday to meet the Atlanta Crackers in the first of four-game series

Scott has been drafted and should he be exempted, the deal will be carried out. Should he be taken into the army, the deal will be void His number was drawn near the top and he is to be exam ined this week so as to decide whether the deal will be upheld

The second game was seven innings by agreement. Walker pitched fine ball in the first game, all lowing the visitors but three hits, and Blodgett held the locals safe in the sec ond contest. Both games were played in drizzling rain and the slippery condi- ton of the ball and field caused many errors Scores:

Lewis here and stated that he would keep plugging until the answers from his telegrams came in.
 TITLE IS DISPUTED
 The wrestling title is between zbyszko and Lewis. with Lewis having the bet ter claim at present. When John Oin defeated Joe Stecher some months back he claimed the championship and Frank Gotch then declared that any man who could defeat Stecher should be awarded the championship. Ed Lewis objected and agreed to meet Olin in Chicago with Gotch to act as referee. This Gotcn agreed to do and the bout was staged.
 Lewis conquered Olin and the referee proclaimed him winner. Immediately aft CT the match Gotch walked over to Lew is corner and presented him with the championship belt Later Lewis met zbyszko in san Francisco and won fall by a fluke. July Lewis and Zbyszko met in Boston and Lewis won a fall, Zbyszko being unable to go on for the second fall. With Lewis in possession of the belt and he and Zbyszko having a. fall each to their crdit, match between them would undoubtedly settle the cham pionship mGddle, and even should Lewis fail to go against Zbyszko Labor Day it is but matter of time before the wrestling fans demand that he defend his title in another encounter with the Pole. These two telegrams and the negotia- tions already on between Lewis and Ibyszko involve the four greatest wrest- lers in the world They are admittedly the best mat performers this old earth can offer. And, if any of these men are matched with zbyszko here for Labor Day, Dixie will enjoy it's biggest sport ing event in a couple of decades. TAKING BIG CHANGES Brown Parkes. who offers 10 stage this
 big match in Birmingham, is taking a chance It means thousands of dollars of prize money and hundreds of dollars expenses in other lines. Brown stated Saturday that he was ready to shoot the roll, however, and that if he played 8 losing game. he would take his med- icine gracefully. T want to give the fans of Alabama and neighboring states a real championship bout" he said, 'In the first place I am such a wrestling bug that I would give almost anything to see Lewis and zbyszlko get together. In the second place I want to stage the
 match from a selfish standpoint. T figure that such a match would draw the biggest crowd that ever witnessed
 an inclosed sporting event in the south. ! Of course, if it did this I would stand a show to reap a neat margin on my investment Of course I am taking a chance. But show me promoter of fights or wrestling bouts who failed to take a chance. and I will in turn show you that he is a tin-horn promoter
 As for Stecher. he's the man that made his body scissors the terror of all wrest- lers. He defeated all corners until he met Ed Lewis year ago. He failed
 to throw Edward. and after five hours of wrestling the bout was called draw. Lewis, to show his powerful endurance, danced until past the midnight hour fol- lowing this bout.
 No man has ever thrown Stecher with the exception of Earl Caddock and Olin. Cadock went after him from the gong, roughed him and finally won fall. Stech-. CT refused to go back for the second fall
