We are rapidly becoming one Of the
most popular persons in these United
States, Aunt Eleanor Ann. No impor-
tant social function seems complete
without US, and we are constantly re-
celving cordial invitations to honor this
or that affair with our presence. Some
times it's actually embarrassing. On
ore night, recently, we were asked to
attend, on the same evening, a wres-
ting bout, an amateur" night, the an
nual ball of the Scow Trimmers' I'm

ment, session Of chamber music by
the Office Boys' Choral Society, and the
grand annual review and drill of the

Giants toPlay
Spring Series
With Senators
Two of Contests Will Take
Place at Washington
Sparrow Goes South
By Charles A. Taylor

Arrangements have been practically
completed for the New York Giants and
the Washington Senators to engage in
a spring series. That the two clubs
will meet on the diamond at the ma
tonal capital on Saturday and Sunday
April 10 and 90 is already settled.
But, in addition to these contests, 1t
is planned to have the two teams play
several other games in the Carolinas
and Virginia on earlier dates. This
would seem to indicate that the Giants
are to select some Florida resort for
their spring training.
Clark Griffith, manager of the SEN
ators. had originally planned to have
| his men get into condition on their
home field, but within the last few days
he has decided to go once more to
Augusta, Ga, for limbering up pur-
poses. The first game between the
| Giants and the Washington club will,
therefore, probably be played at Au-
gusta some time about April IL.
Harry Sparrow, secretary of the New
York Yankees, left this city yesterday
for the South, wnere he plans to in
vestigate the facilities as training
camps offered by various places in
Florida. Among the towns that will
be visited 1y The genial Harry will
be Jacksonville, Orlando and Sanford.
Jacksonville has peen the scene of
! }bo cpr;pr activities Of tho Phil dol =
phia Athletics for the last few years
and appears to be the most likely
choice of the local club.
Lieutenant Colonel Huston, who has
been in Cincinnati looking after his
business interests, will remain in the
Ohio city for day or so longer and
then go to Camp Humphreys, Virginia,
where he hopes to secure an extension
of his furlough sufficiently long to en-
able him to attend the joint meeting of
the major leagues in this city on Jan
uary 16.
One of the topics which enlisted the
attention of the baseball men gathered
at the Hotel Imperial during the meet
ing of the International League was
the problem Jack Coombs has to face
as successor to Pat Moran at the helm
Of the Phillies.
1t was pointed out that Jack would
be obliged to construct practically an
entire new team, and it was wondered
whether he would be able to secure the
financial aid necessary for such an un-
dertaking.
With the exception Of three or four
players, the material now in posses
sion of the Philles is wofully weak.

st. Francis Five
Hands Xavier High
Its First Defeat

The st. Francis Preparatory School
basketball team, which is proving itself
lnvincible, handed Xavier High School
its first defeat of the season in a con-
test on the st. Francis court in Brook
lyn yesterday. The score was 20 to 1S.
The contest was bitterly fought
throughout, but marred somewhat by
the persistent violation of the rules by
Xavier, which was responsible for
Xavier's defeat.
Cooney, the st. Francis captain, was
the "whole show" for his team. His
all-around brilliancy alone accounted
for sixteen of his teams points. Eight
of these came in goals from the foul
line through penalties inflicted on his
opponents. Xavier traled by 10 to at
the end of the first half.

State Seizure Planned.

Indianapolis, Nov. Ex-Governor
James P. Goodrich today gave con-
sideration to the proposal of Gov
ernor W. L. Harding, of Iowa, that
bituminous coal producing states,
acting in unison, seize and operate
the mines pending the agreement be-
tween operators and miners in Wash
nigton.
Governor Goodrich received Gov
ernor Harding's suggestion last night
but said he could not say at that
time whether the idea would be prac-
ticable in Indiana. His comment how
ever, to the effect that he did not see
how the state could seize the mines
except through the courts, indicated
that he did not consider the plan fea-
sible.
No mines in Indiana are working
with the exception of few small
wagon mines which are non-union.

Our Sunday school has large en-

Train After Train Annulled
for Lack of Fuel in Nation.

Chicago, Nov. 21.-The daily in
creasing coal shortage today. began
to menace additional industries and
to threaten the nations food supply
with the further prospect of a sweep
ing curtainmert for passenger tatfic
within "a hours. AS the bituminous
coal miners rounded out three weeks
of idleness, it became known through
astatement here by the regional coal
committee that the big Chicago pack
ing plants shave about two weeks
supply of coal left" and that "when
thew have used that the committee
will not be able to release any coal
to them"
The immediate future of the steel
industry is causing concern, accord
ing to one Pennsylvania manutac-
turer. and in the Chicago district the
Corh Products Company in Argo, ILL.,,
announced suspension, its other plant
at Pekin, ILL.,, both having a capacity
of 100000 bushels of corn day, al
ready has been closed. The regional
coal committee indicated it expected
extensive shutdowns during the next
ten days unless production on nor
NAL scale is resumed.
Walker D. Hines, federal director
general of railroads, announced after
his two day conference here with the
seven regional directors, it became
known today that he would lay the
facts of the coal situation before the
cabinet so that he might be relieved
of any personal responsibility for cur
tailment of industry. In keeping with
that, many of the federal railroad
managers have said they expected
sweeping reductions in the number
of passenger trains within the next
"a hours.
In the general situation as regards
the mines themselves, but slight
changes were apparent today. They
did not point to increased produc-
ton.
Governors of all states possessing
bituminous mines today had received
messages from Governor Harding of
Iowa, suggesting concerted action to
take over the mines and grant the
workers a substantial increase pend
ing the result of a joint wage cen-
ference at Washington.
New Strikes are Staged.
New strikes in the New River field
of West Virginia were reported
spreading.
The weeks supply ration for Chi
cago and the Northwestern region,
which extends to the Pacific coast,
was in effect today. The Southern
States, east of the Mississippi river,
were also on a ration basis, which
limited purchases for home use to
one ton.
