the batting averages | am particularly
Interested in these averages because !
believe them To be the most popular OF
all baseball statistics.
AT present, the batting averages merely
record the number of times player hit
safely compared with the number of times
he had legal appearance at bat. For IN
stance, II he was Mt bat 100 times, and hit
safely 30 times, he would have n batting
average Of 300 Now this information ia
all very well as far as it goes, but u
person who knows anything about baseball
knows that It doesn't go far enough.
batter should receive credit for the number
OF hits he makes, but he should receive
credit FOR something more These things
for which he at present geta no credit,
group Themselves into three divisions.
First, extra base hits second, bases ON
balls third, sacrifice hits
The extra bnsc hit il n problem But u
surface glance will tell III that such a hit IS
usually worth much more than n single,
and that its worth increases with its
length, that is with the number Of extra
bases II nets the batter According to the
present system, however, Il batter receives
no less credit for Il single than for double
or home run an obviously unfair altua-
tIon.
believe everyone will concedc that the
extra base hit il mlre valuable than the
single, and that the home run Is corfc-
spondnglv more valuable than the double,
or the triple. But the question arises ut
this point, how much more valuable are
they. In other words, what is the average
value Of a single anyway, or the average
value OF n double, triple or a home run
For once this value were determined, the
adoption Of that value IN the records would
be u simple matter
The Baseball Magazine has conducted
some researches upon this point with which
| fully approve | believe the problem
has been attacked in the right way aud
that the value Of hits can he determined
by the examination Of large number of
singles, doubles and 80 on. and careful
tabulation Of the results obtained This
would demand considerable amount Of
labor IN the executive office but the neces-
sary values could be obtained that Is,
the main point, and their superior ac-
curacy would more than justify the labor
involved

Special Correspondence
CHICAGO, Nov. l9.--Distribution of
the available coal supply to points most
in need of it was advanced as the gov
ernment's best measure for protection
of industry in statement issued to-
day for Walker d. Hines, Director Gen.
eral of Railroads. Mr.. Hines remained
IN Chicago until noon for conference
with regional directors of the railroad
administration.
That the danger of coal famine is
serious was not denied. although the
railroad chiefs occupied themselves
more with the problems affecting the
visible supply than with the necessity
for immediate settlement of the
strike.
H. P. Spencer, of Washington, who
is IN charge of railroad affairs that
concern the seven regional directors.
arrived in the city during the night
after speeding from the capital at the
call of Director General Hines. M. B.
Ciaggett, MIR. Illness secretary, issued
q statement at the close of the confer
ence. He said:
Mr.. Hines remaining in CHICAGO
until noon to-day is not due to any un-
favorable development in the coal situ-
alton, but merely because he wished
further conference with the regional
directors and could do this without
delaying his arrival in Washington.
The conference to-day was directed
entirely, toward arranging for supply

MIR. Wilson to Decide
Control of Imperator

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.--F'inal dis
position Of the Iziperatqr and the other
German liners delivered to the United
States after the armistce awaits the
decision Of President Wilson it was
said to-day at the State Department.
Great Britain has sought use of these
ships both for transatlantic passenger
service out of New York and for trans
porting troops Of its overseas domn-
ions. The Shipping Board, however,
has refused to deliver them because of
the action Of the Allied Naval Armis-
tce Commission in sending to the
Firth of Forth for ALLEGATION between
the associated powers the Standard Oil
tank steamships which operated under
the German flag before the war.
Recently the Supreme Council at
Paris ordered the tank craft held at
the Firth of Forth under the guardian
ship Of Great Britain until they finally
could be disposed of. Because of the
general shortage of oil tank tonnage
The world over, disinterested persons
are understood to have made proposals
10 operate the ships under the inter
Allied flag until their ownership finally
is determined.
Naval reserve crews now assigned
to the German lines will be withdrawn
November 25. This will present the
Shipping Board with the problem Of
supplying crews to supplant the naval
personnel. Shortage Of manpower in
che navy is understood to have neces-
STATED withdrawal of the crews.

Walter B.'Moore, formerly secretary
Of the Citizens Committee of 1000 in
Winnipeg, told members of the New
York Board Of Trade and Transporta-
ton yesterday at luncheon at the
Hotel Astor how the general strike
in that city was beaten. The Winnipeg
Board of Trade, he said, was the back
bone of successful resistance to the
strikers, who made several unsuccess-
ful attempts to burn it's building
The luncheon was one of series in

ing coal where needed. For the time
being the problem is really one of so
distributing the coal as to avoid short
age.
"To do this involves unusually long
hauls on considerable tonnage of
coal, and this is presenting new trans
portation requirements. 1t is believed
the requirements will be satisfactorily
met.
"The matters of curtailmcnt of
| transportation and industry will be de-
pendent upon future developments. A
proper notice will, of course, be given
to the public of any important changes
in public policy.
ut is essential that coal be used
as sparingly as possible, and therefore
distribution will be continued under
the authority resting in the railroad
administration under orders Of the
fuel administrators previously issued.
at must be remembered that when
stated the orders of the fuel admin
istration relating to distribution of
coal under the Lever act, and the fuel
administrator intrusted the carrying
out of these orders to the railroad ad
ministration."
Hines Calls Situation Serious
Mr.. Hines after hearing the reports
of the regional directors, said: 1.-THE
coal situation is serious. Every means
possible for conservation will be en-
ployed. Already coal is being supplied
only to essential industries. You don't
have to be a railroad man to figure
that when you are consuming more
coal than is produced an end is com
ing some time. What we will consider
is what means will be employed to
conserve our coal reserve by climina-
tion of coal consumption except where
it is indispensable"
Mr.. Hines intimated q detailed list
of restrictions would be made. public
soon and a drastic cut in railroad pas
scnger service throughout the country
would be included in it. He also stated
that shutting off coal from non-essen-
tial industries would in itself relieve
the. railroads from large amount of
freight. During the war only '25 per
cent of the nations industries were
classcd as essential

The coal strike situation in the union
lied southern mining districts of West
Virginia took on more serious aspect
tonight, when reports we're received
from the New River coal fields show
ing that hundreds of miners had walked

had been operating since the rcscind-
ing Of the strike order.
According to the reports the men
began quitting work to-day. following
notification by the mine superin-
tendents Of the various companies to
the effect that the "check- off, system
had been abolished because the miners
had abrogated their contract by par
ticipating in the strike. The new strike
is reported to be spreading throughout
the New River district. where approx
mately 5000 miners are employed in
130 mines.
T. L. Lewis, secretary of the New
River Coal Operators Association, said
tonight, however, the mines were pro-
