COAL SHORTAGE IN THE U. S.
Situation Attributed to Unprecedented
Demand-Prices Raised in
Southern District.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Existence of
general coal shortage was admitted
by the geological survey, which at
tributes the situation not to the fail
ure of producers to do their best but
to the unprecedented demand.
A serious coal shortage exists IN
Ohio, fuel administration officials were
told by a delegation of consumers.
Coal prices in some districts of Ten
nessee, Kentusky and Virkinia were
raised by the fuel administration after
it was shown operators could not mine
coal at profit at the prices fixed re-
Gently.
In Virginia prices in some districts
are raised from 81 to S2.40 for run-of-
mine coal.
In eastern Tennessee run-of-mine
coal prices in five counties are raised
from $3.50 to $2.40.

and of the cause of liberty. Billions

Polo Grounds, N. Y, Oct. 17.-Wmie
Sox, worlds champions!
Score for the series, four games to
two.
Score of the final game, the same.
Red Faber delivered the goods on
Monday and brought home the sides
of the razOrback.
Again the fourth inning was the fatal
one for the Giants and the fortunate
one for the S0x. Heine Zimmerman
started trouble at the first opportunity
in this round which Eddie Collins gave
him, by picking up his grounder and
putting so much steam behind the
throw that the pill landed in the
stands. Eddie raced to second. Then
Dave Robertson got into the goat class
by dropping Jackson's fly. Eddie raced
TO third, but Jackson had to remain
at first, where he didn't expect to find
any permanent lodgment, when he saw
Robertson camping under the ball.
FelSch hit down to Benton. The
Rube, instead of throwing to Tim at
once TO nail Collins, who was on the
way home, raced over to make, the put
out. Then he finally had to throw to
Zim. Heine Overplayed his speed, and
instead of tossing TO the plate started
a footrace after Eddie, who was beat
ing it for the plate. Heine chased him
clear across the pan.
Then Gandil came up and spilled the
beans for the Giants by driving a sting
ing single into right. Jackson and
FelSch scored and Gandil's ambition
put check on the SOX column or il
might have been six or seven runs. He
tried to make second and was thrown
out As Schalk got a single and Faber
pass after it the count is merely a
conjecture had Gandil held first.
Weaver started the final round with
single. Schalk fouled out, but Fa-
Der, VIGOROUSLY poor hitter, was in
Structed to sacrifice. and he did. Memo
IeibOld drove low liner to center
that Benny Kauff couldn't handle, and
he made wild throw to, the plate and
Weaver was in.
Perritt went into the game in the
sixth and only one run was made off
him.
