The BOer Knew.

u
George RodeI. the Boer. disputes the
claim OF Fred Mckay to the high div
ing championship. and declares
George has beaten the worlds mark.
Mr.. RodeI, by the way, was a trader
in wallops. He fought many times
around New York, and did the diving
act quite often.
Mr.. Rodel crossed bats with Gun
boat Smith one night uptown. and In
the last three rounds took five dives
that came near being fatal To his rep
and Jimmy Johnson's future activities
as a manager.
Jimmy had to keep the Boer on his
feet for the limit or blow two other
matches he had made for his man. He
worried himself sick for five minutes.
and then remembered that George was
stuck on a Jane in London, and faxed
a cablegram from her to George.
The next time ROdel went down
Jimmy yelled: II gotta cablegram
from jane
Rodel pricked up his ears at the
count of seven and got up again.
He was no sooner set before he was
dropped once more.
III you don't get up I'll tear this
cabIeEram up" yelled Johnson, wav-
ing the thing in the air.
George got up again. He begged
between rounds to see the cable. but
James was obduTate. Jimmy told him
II he stayed ten he would read 1t to
him.
Rodel took an awful walloping from
Smith and barely stayed the limit
When he got back to his corner Jim
my slapped him on the back and
handed him the cable from London.
George hastily gave 1t the Uncover.

one open glim and remarked:

There IL Hope Yet.

Though the Grinmen have been hit
hard by the army draft. there is yet
hope. Manager Griffith is not merely
sleeping nights. He is also dreaming
o. ways and means TO strengthen his
club before II is too late. In a short
time unnecessary players are due to
be given the hoOk BY various major
league clubs. u Is not expected that
any OF them Will be allowed TO get
away from Washington without FIRST
climbing into uniform and going
through the motions.
Practical yevery club in the two
mHJor leagues is possessed Of players
booked for the minors. Before they
slide. waivers must he obtained from
every other major league club. 1t Is
this little rule which ought to come
TO the assistance Of the Grinmen Just
when most timely.

May SHAKE q schedule.

sunday baseball in New York may
cause a distinct shake up in major
league schedules for he coming sea
son.
With the Yankees IN the West, there
will be Sunday games at home for
the Giants and Dodgers. With the
National League clubs on the fringe
OF the circuit, the Yanks will revel at
the Polo Grounds on sundays IL Is
not likely thai a single Sunday will
be wasted. Games in both leagues
will be showed Up and even trans
ferred, lest any OF The soft money get
away from the major league GOLFERS.
It 10 not expected rhAt Sunday
baseball will ever disappear, once
Kew York sees how l. works. In the
west crowds turn out TO see the Sun
day games. Order prevails at all
times. with the metropolis enjoying
baseball on Sunday, II is but natural
for other Eastern cities to wish 1t,
and the regulations may b. lifted all
along the line

The Cincinnati Reds actually played
q ball game at Montgomery, Ala, on
Tuesday, prior to the Saturday when
the official training season was TO
have opened.
The Brooklyn Dodgers had their
pitchers and several veterans work
ing out at Hot Springs before the
legal time for training.
Clubs May Suffer Fine.
1t is understood that the league
adopted a rule calling Tor a fine OF
81 900 to be assessed against any club
breaking the rule, but what's q little
thing like $1,000 to the New York
Giants when, by paying IT. they may
get a jump on their pennant CON-

When the Cardinals complained last
month about the Giants. Secretary
Foster. OF the New York club. said
that the club was not sending the
players to Hot Springs. He said they
were going on their own" and that
there was nothing the club could do
TO prevent their seeking an early
start" Indeed. he thought, they
should be commended for their inter
est in their club and its chances.
II the habits OF the past have not
been ruined, next December the Ma

Louis protest and spank the Giants
verbally. more or less. The old league
never hurNes about anything.

Preachers and college and unlver-
sity professors are going into war
work as laborers in the shipyards Of
the country. Some Of them are con-
tributing their services during their
vacation period, but others will con-
tinue to work for the period Of the
war
The announcement that DR.. Stephen
S. Wise, rabbi of the Free Synagogue
Of New York, had found employment
as a common laborer at 50 a day in
the Luder's Marine Construction Yard
at Stamford, Conn.,, brought out the
announcement from the Shipping
Board that in one shipyard in Maine
four clergymen are at work, and that
college and university professors may
be found at work among the men In
nearly every shipyard of the country.
W. F. Daggett. professor of elo-
cution in the University OF Maine,
is at work in overalls in the yards Of
the Cumberland Shipbuilding Com
pany. at South Portland. Me.
The boys from the University of
Maine who are in France wrote over
and said that the main thing we need
ed was ships" he explained, "and so
am in the shipyard to do what I
could. There are more than 1000 of
our University of Maine boys in mill
tary service. Many Of them are al
ready in France. What better service
could ! do my country than to help
build ships when the need is 30
great?'

Artists. poets. orators and men In

Uncle Sam IL going to have to put

1t wouldn't surprise anyone con-

COAL Tn EAST
Garfield Tells State Admin
! istrators That War
- Needs Come First.

Further severe reductions In the
supply OF bituminous coal for nom
essential industries In New Eng
Aad, New York and the States west
70 Ohio. including parts Of Indi-
ana and Illinois. were foreshadowed
yesterday in a meeting Of the Fuel
Administrators from those States
with Fuel Director Garfield. Chair
man Hurley of the Shipping Board
and Chairman Baruch. of the War
Industries Board. together with
members of their STATS and repre-
sentatives. of the Railroad Admin
fstration.
The Fuel Administration has been
trying to prepare its budget with
the ALLEGATION Of the coal rations to
the various States. but the growth
or the governments war demands Is
snch that no final figure has yet
been set
1.-THE conference was called to ex-
main the situation to the States
fuel authorities that they may pre-
pare the nonessential industries for
a more serious shortage than they
had expected.
The conference sought a basis
Of apportIonment which would as
sure the necessary requirements OF
domestic consumers. and would as
sure the army. navy and the Ship
ping Board that the Industries sup
plying war materials 100 per cent
Of their requirements" said a for
NAL announcement.
fThe territory involved draws its
fuel supply largely from Pennsyl-
vania, west Virginia and Maryland.
and il Is here that the coal used for
ship bunkering, and for by-product
plants to produce the coke necessary
for steel production is produced.
This coal must first go to war uses,
then to domestic consumers, ana
finally to nonessential industries
Hurley and Barouch were present
to tell the Fuel Administrators OF
the growth of the demands OF war
Baroueh Explains.
Rarouch explained that the govern
msnt estimated its teel needs at =
OOO 90 OF tons, though the present ca
pacity Of the country is only 16.0eo.6OO.
Each ton Of steel requires about five
tons Of coal for its manufacture and
transportation. This alone would eat
IN llaOI0, 900 tons of coal.
Even the record output now coming
from the fields cannot meet the Con-
stantly increasing demand OF the gov
ernment and war industries. said
Fuel Administrator Garfield, land at
the same time care for the normal
industrial demands Of this section OF
the country.
I'VE must alolt the coal produced In
such a way as to give each section OF
the country its pro rata share Of the
amount remaining after the war re-
quirements have been filled"
Diverted Coal Gas to War Work.
Restriction Of coal supply to certain
Of the war industries will be possible
because of a shortage of steel and
other raw materials. This diverted
coal will 90 to other war work.
