Comeback Of Veteran Babe
Adams Is Yearly Sensation

dent OF the Pirates. parted company
with Adams by giving him his uncon-
ditional release, he did so with re-
grets, for the Babe is by far the hard
est working and altogether the most
picturesque slabber Pittsburgh has
had in years and years.
Adams was always immensely
popular in Pittsburgh. With the
veteran George @lIoOney', Gibson
rs his backestOp he pitched the
hearts out of opposing clubs dur
ing the heydays OF hls career, and
1t was with regret that Smoky
City fans saw him pass along.
But what did the Babe do? He
faded into shadows Just outside the
glare OF the major league spotlight
and wound up in the Western league.
where. as a member Of Jack Hollands
St. loser Hutchinson aggregation he
earned his three squares with sur
prising ease. His pitching was so ef-
fective that John Camel, manager of
the Kansas City Blues, brought him
up another notch into the American
association. and the veteran helped
the Blues win a pennant.
Now he's back in the big show and
going as good, even better, than he
did five or six years ago.
Doff the skypiece to Babe Adams,
for he is made OF the stuff that made
Iron Man McGinnity famous.

MORE economy in the conduct OF the
Ifl business OF the Army and City
Baseball league in order that the play
ers may receive a compensation worth
considering was. decided upon at the
meeting Of the executive committee Of
the league Monday night in the office
of president T. J. MeCamant It was
pointed out by several managers Of
teams that never before in the history
OF local baseball has the city league
carried such a great overhead expense
as at the present time and plans were
discussed for reducing expenses on as
large a scale as possible. Attendance
at the games has been steadily i'm
proving and this is very gratifying to
the league officials.
Save Some Funds.
Approximately s1s TO $50 a month
was clipped from the payroll when
the committee voted to stop paying
for the upkeep of the grounds as it
was understood at the start OF the
season that the park would be kept
in good shape in exchange for the
soft drink concessions The matter
was taken up with mayor Charles
Davis Tuesday morning and who
stated that those holding the conces-
sions should keep the grounds in good
condition. So far about $500 has been
paid TO the city for the use Of the
park and the season is not yet one
third over.
II was also determined to keep
n close watch on all basebails
which are knocked over the fence.

youngsters working cnder the d.

ing the season
Present System Good
The present system OF starting each
game with one new ball has met with
the approval OF all fans and players
who have the interests Of the league
at heart and the system viii not be
changed under any circumstances.
The big wire screen protecting the
grandstand behind home plate and the
first base line has been responsible
for great saving OF baseballs-
Permanent Fund Prosperous.
The permanent fund of the league Is
steadily increasing as a result Of the
excellent attendance and il is esti-
mated that first prize OF the circuit
will be about $1,000. Awards viii also
be made to teams finishing in the
second and third positions and there is
a great deal of rivalry at the present
time
Allow Batting Practice.
One Of the matters which received
favorable attention was that OF al
lowing each team ten minutes batting
practice prior to the games. The fans
seem TO enjoy the batting and field
ing practice before the contests Just
as much as the yilek the game itself
and in the future the clubs will be
given ten minutes in which TO loosen
UP the batsmen-
An equal time win also be al
lowed each team for fielding prae-
tice and IL Il now certain that
none OF the teams will enter
game without having undergone
some strenuous preparation. Rat
ting will not take place on fke In
field but the OutfIeid will be given
over TO the purpose.

~. s Fuel Administration Figures Show
Mine Workers Average 81, 800 Per Year
In 1918, Men Working in
HitulninOus Fields Were
Paid More Than $780,
100000, or 70 Per Cent
of Entire Cost of Pro-
duction.

figures compiled from oficia! gov
ernment records and presented by
Fuel Administrator Garfield to the
Joint conference of bituminous min
ers and operators at Washington
show that the average annual wage
paid to the mine workers through
out the United States is approx
mately $1,600-or about S400 more
, than the average SALARY" of minis
tiers and college professors.
The data furnished by the Fuel
Administrator showed that in 1916
Tie total production of bituminous
coal was 579,385,820 tons. Of the
UsHt of production, about 80 per cent
isn't for supplies and general ex-
pense, while substantially 70 per
cent, or slightly more than $3.50 per
ton was paid to labor. In other
words, the total wages paid the mine
workers in 1918 amounted to about
SS70, 100000.
AS there are approximately $780,
900 mine workers employed in the
hituminous fields of this country, the
average annual wage paid them was
about $1,000. Many thousands of the
miners received a great deal more
than this, however. as the average
wage figure is based on all grades of
workers, including the boys from 10
to 10 years of age who earned about
$3.50 per day as slate pickers. coup

Concerning the operators profits
DR.. Garfield said that the margin q

taxes and certain other items not ale

ton, were paid out of it. Conse-
quently the charges made from time
to time that they were making ex-
cessive profits were not actually
justified by the facts. This year he
