Duluth, Mimi, April ,24.-Despite an
unprecedented car shortage, and severe
weather, nearly 100000 tons of coal
were shipped from Duluth and Superior
docks to northwest points during the
first quarter of 1917, according to a re-
port made by dock companies. Except
ing 1858 first quarter, 1t is a high
record.
Coal men here were Handicapped this
spring because of heavy SHOWS which
tied up trafic on two occasions, and
because of car shortage. That March
shipments from docks amounted to 27,-
O43 cars, or 946.505 tons, proved a sur
prise to even the coal trade. 1t was
one of the busiest third months ever
experienced here and showed the result
of the SHOWS in February which pre-
vented shipments from reaching nor
NAL figures and resulted in coal fam
inc in some parts of the northwest.

Detroit, April 24.-Benny Kauff, the
much talked about outhelder OF the
New York Nationals, is one Of many
noted ball players who predicts great
success for Howard Ehmke. recruit
pitcher with the Detroit Americans.
Ehmke came to Detroit from SYRIA
cuse last year, and proceeded to burn
up the league. He won three out Of

him the defeat.
Ehmke, like Kauff, was in the Fed
eral league.
He's bigger, has more stuff and will
bother any batter he faces" said Kauff.
Ehmke, who is built like the late
Addie Joss, has a most deceiving de-
livery and his side-arm, fast ball, has
proved a terror to batsmen this spring.
