BOSTON UNIVERSITY TO DROP
BASEBALL.

Boston University will not be rep
resented on the baseball diamond this
season, owing to the unsettled condi-
ton of the athletic policy at that in
stitution. 1t is considered possible
that. the sport may be permanently
dropped.
DR.. Allan Howe, formerly Of Tech
theology, spoke for the university
athletic council and stated that track
athletics as a major sport, and wrest-
ling, fencing and swimming as minor
sports were approved by that body.

To Coal Prices to Offset II Per Cent
- Wage Increase.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Not one
cent can be added to the price of
coal to finance any increase in the
wages of miners, Fuel Administrator
Garfield declared to-day, after read
ing press dispatches that Governor
Cox, Of Ohio, had proposed that
miners and operators in that State
compromise on the basis Of a rs per
cent advance in pay for the men.
DR.. Garfield indicated that the gov
ernment would interpose no objec-
ton IL the increase could be given
without advancing coal prices.
There will be no increase in the
Present price Of coal, as fixed under
the Lever ect," DR.. Garfield said,
mo, matter what local arrangements
and agreements are put into effect"
He added that his position was
absolutely unchanged from that
taken on November 26 with the au-
thorization Of the cabinet. DR.. Gar
field explained then, in suggesting
the II per cent advance, which the
miners promptly rejected, that he
was not fixing wage scales and had
no authority to do SO. He indicated
that the increase suggested was
merely that which the operators were
able to grant without advancing the
price Of coal which the government
has fixed.
Simultaneously the railroad ad-
ministration established an embargo
effective Monday, against shipments
Of fuel oil from the West to points
east OF Chicago and St. Louis. This
action, 1t was explained, was neces-
sary to conserve the small supplies
Of coal available for the territory
west Of the Mississippi river and to
compel, where possible, the use Of
fuel oil instead.

The Tribune believes, therefore, that
