only lost the championship by a mar.
gin of two points and his hitting was
far more impressive than that Of the
Brooklyn star.
There are two things, though, that
illustrate Roushs skill with the bat
more than a mere batting average
does. He led the National league in
sacrifice hitting and only struck out
ten times in 113 games.
One expects skill in sacrificing OF
a light hitter. But Roush is slug.
ger who made 145 hits yield 1913 bases
last year. Yet he is a master at lay
ing down the ball when he has to.
A man who is skillful in sacrificing,
is long-distance hitter and strikes
out only ten times in season comes
as close to batting perfection as
human being can come.

MASHIE is THE MOST
POPULAR GOLF CLUB

That the mashie is the most
popular golf club is the opinion
of DR.. w. S. Harlan of Washing
ton, who is vice president of the
United States Golf association.
Drivers, brassies, mid-irons and |
putters have been sent to camps
with great generosity, but mash
les have not been Forthcoming.
Doctor Harlan, who originat-
ed this plan of giving the en-
listed men an opportunity to
practice swings at odd moments
wherever there happens to be a
stretch of convenient country,
says that this settles the ques-
ton which has been argued so
often at the nineteenth hole ex-
clusfvely. Hereafter it will be j
assumed that to the majority Of
golf enthusiasts, the mashie Is !
the hardest club to part with. ;

unable to use it effectively in any Of
the succeeding rounds. The first punch
which Cowler took in the first round
exhausted all his steam. His blows
lacked force, were ill-timed and his
judgment of distance was execrable.
That is why Miske beat him in such
decisive fashion. The st. Paul heavy
weight never let Cowler get set for
punch. He was on top Of the Austria
liam each minute Of the IS they were

ferentials to Commission
May Double Ia Per Cent
Increase, He Contends
All Fuel Checks Now Off
Embargo on Oil and Cut
in Shipments to Coking
Ovens Also Are Rescinded

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16--The Senate
coal investigating committee, resum
ing to-day it's inquiry into the Ad-
ministration strike settlement agree
ment, was told by Tracy w. Guthrie,
president of the Hillman Coal and Coke
Company, that one clause in the propo-
sition advanced by President Wilson
and accepted by the miners would
bring about an increase in the miners
wages at least doubling the Ia per
cent, which Dr.. Harry A. Garfield, re-
signed Fuel Administrator, thought
justified"
While the Senate committee was
pursuing its inquiry the railroad ad-
ministration withdrew the last SEM
blances of the restrictions on fuel re-
sulting from the strike and began de-
livering coal to original consignees in
stead Of distributing it to points Of
greatest need. 1t rescnded the en-
barge on movement of fuel oil out of
the West and the orders reducing the
amount of coal permitted to go to
coking ovens.
President Waits for Palmer
At the White House it was said that
President Wilson would not appoint
the commission provided in the strike
settlement proposal until Attorney
General Palmer returns from the West
late this week.
The Senatorial inquiry was reopened
with the calling of r. Y. Norris, en-
gineer for the fuel administration.
"Secretary Wilson proposed that the
miners be given An increase Of 1857
per cent" Mr. Norris explained, "be-
CT use he based his calculstions on the

Strike Cost to Nation
Fixed at SI26,OOO,OO0

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 16.-Loss
to the United States on account of the
recent coal strike amounted to ap-
proximately $128,00O,000, while that
to Ohio was about 100000, accord
ing to w. D. Mckinney, secretary OF
the Southern Ohio Coal Exchange.
Additional loss to railroads from cur
tailed service and to industries
forced to shut down on account of the
fuel situation could not be estimated,
and no allowance therefor is made in
the estimate, Mr.. Mckinney stated.
The miners we're the greatest losers
in the strike, Mr.. McKinney's figures
showed. Sixty million dollars was his
estimate of their losses in wages in
the country. The loss to the rail
roads he placed at $40,O00,O0O, while
the operators figure he set at $780,

Meats in Storage Increase

BANY, Dec. 1s.-Consideraby
larger quantities of poultry, frozen pork
and fresh and cured beef were in storage
in licensed public warehouses of the
state on December ! than on the same
day in November, DR.. f. H. Porter, of
the State Division Of Food and Markets,
reported to-day Holdings of poultry
are larger than on November 1, but
smaller than year ago. The amount of
butter, eggs, dry salt pork, miscellaneous
meats, sweet picked pork and cheese is
greater than a year ago.
Dry salt pork shows an increase of
more than 28,0OO,OOO pounds. compared
to last year. Holdings of butter show a

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1C.-Further

Committee on the Kenyon -Kendrick
bills for governmental regulation Of
the packing industry were believed i'm
probable in view Of authoritative re-
ports to-day that the "Big Five" meat
packers would not request further

legislation would not ak that addi-
tional witnesses be called.

he is said to have called July II at
mines normally yielding about % per
cent of the coal output of Kansas.
Ellis Searles, editor of "The Mine
Workers. Journal" was the only de-
fendant in the contempt proceedings
who was in court, and he was there as
a spectator.
Dismissal of Writ Sought
Henry Warrum, chief counsel for the
international union, asked the court to
dismiss the contempt information filed
against the eighty-four officials ramed
in the first bill by the government.
Harold A. Henderson, Of Terre Haute,
counseLsfor the eleventh district of the
union, appeared for the thirteen local
union officials of Clinton, cited in the
governments second bill.
In presenting his motion, Mr.. War
rum said he had information to show
that practically 95 per cent of the
were in operation.
Mr.. Henderson said so far as he knew
virtually all Of the PIP mines in Indiana
were in operation.
Mr. Simms said the governments in
formation was that all of the men in
Indiana had gone back to work with
the exception Of two locals. The only
trouble left in the entire country, he
said, is in Kansas and in Southeastern
Missouri.
Howat Called Troublemaker
"Mr. Alexander Howat is District
President there. am frank to say
Mr.. Simms stated "That Mr.. Howat
has been a troublemaker. Mr.. Howat
called a local strike in one of the
Kansas locals last July. 1t was what
is known as beer strike. Now, Mr.
Howat has conceived the idea that

about 20 per cent Of miners are
idle all the time, according to our ex.
perience with twenty-three mines,'
Mr.. Guthrie told the committee. "Min-
ers like to celebrate all American hol-
idays and lot Of foreign ones"
From mine accounts he read the rec
ord Of one miner who in 1877 days of
the present year earned $3,070. or an
average of $3.50 day. He paid $72
rent for company house" during that
period and his fuel bill was $5. Other
records furnished showed earnings
during the first nine months of 1919
ranging from 81 400 to $2,100 for pick
and machine aliners.
Senator Walcott, Democrat, of Mary
land, drew out Mr.. Guthrc's view of
the claimed double increase in miners
wages involved in the settlement by OBJ
serving that DR.. Garfeld's proposal
was the same as that put forth by the
President.
Local Grievances Involved
"As | read the memorandum given
out by Attorney General Palmer" Mr.
Guthrie replied, zone of the things this
commission is to do is to settle what
are known as internal differences. All
previous agreements between mine rs
and operators have provided that these
difficulties should be compromised in a
fashion that will not add to the cost
of mining nor lower the earnings of
the men. The governments proposal
as view it, may result III twice the ID
per cent increase in miners wages and
mining costs that DR.. Garfield was
willing to allow"
