NEED OF COAL
LAWS ARE DENIED
Fuel Association Head Says
Business Can Care for
All Needs.
BY J. d. A. MORROW.

Vice President of the National Coal
Association.
1 notice some tNk of need OF
legislation for the regulation Of the
coal industry. This is surprising,
and proceeds, am sure, from fall
ure to understand what legislation
is now available for the protection
of the public against interference
with the sufiiciency Of coal supply
for the nation.
There are some 10000 soft cos
mines open and shipping coal.
These mines are fully equipped so
that they can produce year in and
year out some 7oo,o0o.o0o tons of
bituminous coal. This is so per cent
more coal than the country usually
needs. Accordingly there Is nc
shorase Of coal mining facilities OF

enough coal for everybody.
With 1000 producers, operating
10000 mines In twenty-six different
States. IL 10 nonsense to talk about
combinations among bituminous
coal producers to restrict production
or put up prices. There are thou

RED HOLOOUTS
 EXPECT TO SIGN
 PAPERS TODAY

Cincinnati, March 3-The end of the ho1d-out war between the Cincin- nati ball club and four of it's star players was in sight yesterday. Word that Eddie Roush, Larry Kopf, Heinie Groh and Jake Daubert would be signed before the team starts Soutk on Friday morning was being whis- pered in off1caI circles.
 A truce between the club and these players, it was said. will be declared shortly after Pat Moran arrives in Cincinnati tonight.
 Directors of the club have decided to keep the world championship team intact, and are prepared, the report went, to make new salary offers that they have reason to believe will be acceptable to the players.
 Hod Eller is the only hold-out who will not be rendered a new offer at this time. The directors believe they have reached the limit in his case, and will wait for him to accept the contract rendered to him some time ago.
 Heinie Groh called off his trip to Rochester, for the present at least believing that he and Moran can conn to terms before Friday. If they dc not he will leave Friday for Roches. fer

JOHNSON GETS
 MOVED UP IN
 TENNIS RATING

New York, March 3-Wallace F. Johnson of Philadelphia, named fifth in the national tennis ranking, is to change places with R. Norris Will jams, 2d, of Boston, ranked sixth, as the result of a recommendation made by the ranking committee to the ex- eceutive committee of the United States Lawn Tennis association. Also S. Howard Voshell of this city, metro politan champion, is to move up from 14th position to 18th on the list, pass ing Nathaniel W. Niles of Boston and Willis E. Davis of California.
 These changes are necessitated by the discovery that in the data furnish ed the ranking committee last fall fot it's task of rating the players several scores of the Church cup intercity series had been care1essly omitted One of the missing results was that of a match in which Howard Voshe1 defeated Wallace Johnson by a score of 7-5, 60. The discovery of this omission came after the national ranking had been made public last December.
 Johnson, it will be remembered. was one of the four to reach the semt- final round of the national champion ship at Forest Hills. He waselimi- mated by William T. Tilden, 2d, but gave the latter a hard tussle. He had accomplished little of note, however, up to the time of the national event Williams did not get beyond the fifth round in the championship, but in several tournaments preceding haC beaten some of the strongest players in the country.

HERMAN CAN'T
 COAX KILBANE
 INTO THE RING

New York, Mar. 3.;-Pete Herman bantaInWeight champoni, is going to be busy little fellow in this section of the country for the first half Of March at least. The champion has five bouts on his book up to the nine- teenth day of the month. The idea behind his try to the East besides the financial side, is to get Johnny klbane the featherweight champion into the ring with him.
 Kilbane is rather particular when he is making matches with opponents whom he thinks weigh more than he does. Take the case of Benny Val gar. No man should ever be allowed to collect a forfeit when he weighs more than his opponent That was the case with Ki1bane, who was a half pound heavier than Vaigar.
 Now Herman wants to fight Kill bane. He is willing to meet Kilbane if the champion will weigh 124 pound ringside. Of course, Kilbane, judg- ing from the fine condition he ap- peared to be in last week in Newark when he weighed more than 125 pounds at o'clock, can scarcely weigh 124 ringside.
 So this talk of a Herman-Kilbane match will scarcely get beyond the talk stage. But it goes to prove that Kilbane is scarcely more a feather weight than Valgar, and he is not a true champion when he will not de- fend his title at two pounds higher weight Several hours ear1ier) than when he won it.
 Herman does not make much of a showing in short bouts If he met Krbane at 124 pounds in a long fight in New Orleans, he would knock Kill bane out Now if there is no need for a reformation of boxing in your opinion, think this situation over. It is great.
 Sam Golden, manager of Herman, is anxious for a bout with Wilde, but Jimmy wants to meet him in Eng land, where he says he can get more

Reds May Capture
 Ping Bodie, Outfield
 Comedian of Yankees

Ping Bodie may wear a Cincinnati uniform next season. Pat Moran has made an excellent offer for the Yank- ee's slow-footed but slugging out fielder and Miller Higgins, according to reports has agreed to the sale of Ping if he can obtain waivers on him from the other American League Clubs Moran wants Bodie for use in left field on his club. Earle Neale and Eddie Roush, of course, are sure of their births in right and center fields respectively, but Pat has not vet finally selected a man for his guardian of the left garden. Bodie he thinks would make an excellent man for the post, and he feels that Pings swat stick would play a big port in the fight the Reds will wage to retain their honors as champions of the world.

Ruth Swings Hard
 Tn Drill At Camp
Yankee slugger Hits Elm High and Far and Shows Plenty of Pep In Fielding Grounders- Manager
 Higgins Arrives to See Holdouts

Jacksonville, Fla, March 3-The fact that Babe Ruth busted a ball clear to the centre field fence at the Southside Park yesterday afternoon, excited far more talk in Jacksonville yesterday than the arrival of Miller Huggins, manager of the Tanks, who reached here after a delay of a day or two in New York owing to cold. To the populace interested in base ball, Babes big swat meant some thing; Huggins arrival was only of interest to his slow gathering clan of baseball players.
 Yes, Babe was out there clouting them with the same whole-souIed fer vor that made him a terrifying ogre to the Polo Grounds spectators last summer, when he headed the period ic Red Sox invasions. The young Yankee puts every bit of his heart into each wallop, every ounce of muscle, bone and sinew.
 Though it was his first appearanc of the season he tried as hard as though it were midsummer, practiced in bunting, tore around the bases and showed every sign of eagerness to get into trim at once. Most of his blows with the bat were straight from the shoulder drives that would have been
 base hllS anywhere; put Of course,
 they were made off easy pitching. His
 one long wallop was yielded by Wal
 ter Smallwood. It would have been a homer at the Polo Grounds. It being Babes first day out there was quite an attendance, and three
 or four photographers and a movie operator made things miserable fol the big fellow for some time, but he took the requests for poses gooC i natured1y. He seemed far more con. l cerned as to the layer of fat around l his waistband and the work needed 1 to make it disappear than about get l ting his picture taken.
 Huggins would say little when h. l arrived. The non-appearance O 1 Pipp, Peckinpaugh, Lewis, Meusel anC | Hannah is puzzling to him.
 l Sam Wick and Muddy Rue1 arrived ! yesterday morning, which cuts dow ] his list of absentees.

YANKEES WILL
 HAVE CAPABLE
 HURLING STAFF

Speaking of the Yankees there is no getting away from the fact that they will begin the campaign with a great pitching staff, which should compare favorably with that of any other American League club. Carl Mays, of course, is the mainstay. The submarine ball expert pitched with suburb results after Higgins brought him from the Boston Red Sox last summer and there is every reason to believe that he will repeat Mays can stand at least two games a week, and Huggins doubtless will place the brunt of the burden on CarPs broad shoulders.
 Bob Shawkey, Jack Quinn, George Mogridge and Herb Thornnahlen probably will work in regular rota- ton with Mays. Shawkey, with a rest of three or four days between his ap- pearances in the box, should be hard to beat. The same may be said of others, which means that the success of the pitching department largely depends on the way Huggins makes his assignments.
 Ernie Shore still is a doubtful qual- ity. He has enjoyed a long rest which may result in a return to his Yankees will excel all of their rivals in strategy. Higgins will experiment with other boxmen. but the men above named constitute his first string.

Ribbons Meet DeNiri FiUe ,
 IOnlOrTOU

The DeNeri team of Philadelphia. Pa, will be the opponents of the Blue Ribbons tomorrow night at Colonial hall when the weekly home game in the Eastern Basketball League will be played. The DeNeri boys gave the Ribbons a hard battle the last time the two teams met in this city and the fans are sure to see some action to- morrow night
 The visitors will present a numbef of players new to this section. Sugar man, the little forward, is about the only one known here. He Is paired with Brown, and Klotz plays center. The guards are Cross and Miller, both said to be crack tossers. The fans like to see new faces so they should welcome the DeNeri five. The Rib. bons will have Wassmer and Schwab as forwards, Stretch Harvey will be at center and the guards will be Skeets Wright and Book. The con- test will start at S:15 and there will be dancing before and after the game.

Spain to Challenge
 U. $. to Polo Game

Philadelphia, Mar. 3.-Spain is anx- ious to meet the United States at polo according to Marquis de Villaviega, captain of King Alphonso's polo team who is visiting here.
 As one of Spain's expert players, the Marquis was well versed in polo lore and eargerly discussed the cham pionship won by England from the American team in the 1914 interna- tional match.
 'I will tell you something new of that he said. ''The English team that won the games had horses loaned by the King of Spain. When the contest was announced, the Eng fish, knowing the Americans would have an opportunity to practice in the south during winter, accepted the invitation from the King to practice on the Madrid field. While they were there the King lent them ponies from his own stables. Fourteen of those ponies were brought to America with them to meet the American team.''

Penn Coach FaVOrs
 New Football T in0e
J.W. Hesman Agrees With Harvard Coaches That Peri ods Should Be Governed By Number of Plays -G Used Instead of Minutes Elapsed

Philadelphia, Mar. 3.-John Hies- man, coach of the University of Pennsylvania football team, favors the proposal to substitute a, certain period of time to determine the length of football games.
 "It is a good rule.'' he said, "and would eliminate the old evil of stall ing. I do not know off-hand how the details could be worked out, but PennsyIvania's representatives should be instructed to support the propos- al at the annual meeting of the Rules Committee in New York next month.
 q also think it would be a good thing to change the scoring to give four points for balls lost within five yards of the opponents goal line three points inside the ten yard line and two points inside the 20 yard line. Thus there would be no tie games where one team distinctly outp1ayed the other.''
 Dr. Carl Williams. for several years Pennsylvania,s representative on the Rules Committee, while admitting the plan to regulate the length of foot ball games by play instead of time had some good points, was not as unqualified in his approval as Coach Hiesman.
 ''It has been suggested many times at meetings of the Rules Committee, 5 he said, "but as far as I can remem- Der never even got so far as a vote It has many advantages, although il probably would call for another of.
 icia1. If some practical way of work ing it out can be found it ought tc be a good thing for the game, but i isso one of those suggestions that need! considerable discussion before al opinion should be formed" E

DUNDEE OUGHT
 NOT TO TAKE LEONARD'S TITLE

New York, Mar. 3.-The longer the discussion goes along the more cer- tain it is that Benny Leonard should not be a party to any plan that would give Johnny Dundee the lightweight title. Not that Dundee wants it tha: way.
 Joe Yelling writes objecting to the reported plan to hand Dundee the title and declares it is only little more than a year ago than he won referees decision over Dundee in Bos- ton in a .twelve-round bout. Joe says he is willing to post a forfeit anytime that he will not weight more than 135 pounds ringside for any light weight. Yelling also declares he has a popular decision of Johnny as the result of a bout in a Philadelphia ball park last summer
 All of which proves that there is a fine chance for a lightweight elimina- ton contest to be staged by an en. terprising promoter.
 Charley Beecher, that little fellow who always fights for all that is in him; may be matched with Johnny Kilbane for a bout at the Newark Sportsmen's Club March 15 if KiIbane does not demand the entire receipts even the state tax.
 Charlie would carry the champion along at a fast pace and do very well with KiBbane from a point standard but it is doubtful if the lad has the teunch necessary to lay KiIbane away in an eight-rouHd bout. But the lad fentifIed to a bout with Johnny. ii for nothing more than his willingness
