Ruth Not First to
Gain Fame by Hitting

Babe Ruth may be the real home
run king of baseball but he Is not
the only ball player to make n ma
tional reputation for himself with
his ability to bump the apple for
four basses. "Gavvy Cravath not
only made himself famous by hitting
honors. but he pulled himself out OF
the minors and into big league Job
after he had reached an age when
most players hit the slSids with a
dull and sickening thud.
Cravath came up to the big show
hrst IN 1905. The Boston Red Sox
brought him to attention He did
not last long In the Hub and was
shipped to Washington, where the
best he could do was to hold the
utility fielding role and break in
occasionally as a pinch hitter. FL
nally he was cut loose and nothing
was heard OF MIN for some time.
In 1872 '.Gnyvy" came into his own.
With Minneapolis. in the American
Association, he pelted out twenty
nine homers, a record for minor
leaguers. This stunt brought him
to the attention of Charley Doom.
then manager of the Philadelphia
Nationals. Doom hsured--and prop
eriy too--that Cravath would be a
big help to the Phils in their minta-
tnre ball park.
Doom never figured to use Cra-
vath as a regular. But In 1918
'Gnvvy" forced the boss to give him
consideration when he poked out a
homer one day against RUDE Mar
guard. and then repeated the next
day when he faced christy Mathew

into right field while Beals Becker
was benched And "Gavvy' hela

Many times that year. especially on
the home lot. Cravath would smash
the agate for circuit with one or
two runners on the paths, thus up
setting the pitcher and apparently
making 1t easy for his mates to get
few hits. In the 1915 worlds
series, however, Cravath was a frost.
The hurting OF Leonard, Ruth, Shore

Organizers Cause Trouble in Coal
Field Peaceful Twenty Years.

Williamson. W. Va. July SO.--An'
industrial conflict is being waged be-
the United Mine Workers over the
question whether all the bitumlnous
coal miners in West Virginia shall be
organic ed as union men.
The miners leaders also demand
that the scale of pay now in use in
the kanawha field be adopted in the
Mingo county bituminous field here.
Charles F. Keeney, president OF
district number II of the United
Mine Workers, who is in command of
the union forces, explains the situa-
ton here by saying:
There are approximately $1,000 or
ganizei miners in West Virginia. and
35, 600 who have not yet,sbeelf organ
led These unorganized men are
mostly in the counties of ,Mingo, Nc
Dowell, Logan, Raleigh, Mercer and
Wayne, all in the southern part of
the state. The campaign to organize
these miners is well under way ana
we expect to have 1t completed before
the snow flies.
The men and the operators could
get together and settle this thing if
it were not for the mine guards. They
are depriving the men Of their con-
stitutional rights and that brings
about trouble. Why, understand the
sheriff of Pike county has deputized
some 500 men and the coal compan-
les are paying them, while detectives
are on the border between Mingo ano
Mcdowell counties with rifles and
machine guns.
'What would happen if an attempt
We're made to operate the mines here
with nom union men? / wouldn't like
to say. But in their present temper.
these men are not to be fooled with.
Right now this situation is a powder
mill. The men have no complaint
wher the law is enforced by the pro-
per authorities. But they will oppose
to the last the use OF private armies

GRAND JURY WILL
PROBE> ALLEGED
COAL SHORTAGE.
Judge Orders Investigation on
Theory That Profiteers Are
Back of High Prices.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 3.-There has been
SO many hints and open charges
that the coal famine is not famine
at all, but is a scare instigated and
urged along by the profiteers, much
the same as the sugar famine" was
put over and netted millions for its
sponsors, that Judge Grove ordered
a rigid grand jury inquiry into the
whole affair. A. thorough investi-
cation of every angle of the coal
situation will be made, and if any
profiteers are uncovered they will
be prosecuted to the limit.
"A coal famine threatens Chi
cago," said the Judge. Gas the win
ter approaches, if this situation is
not relieved, great hardship and suf-
tering, if not many deaths. will re-
suit. I strongly urge you to make
the most thorough and rigid inves-
tigation to determine whether any
person or persons firms or cor
porations areengaged in criminal
conspiracy to bring about this
shortage LOT the purpose OF ma
nipu1ating prices of coal"
Railroad officials today gave as
surances that they would do every
thing in their power to avert further
coal shortage. Under service orders
already provided, coal shipments will
be given the preference. The Hi
nois/CentRl, which serves about $50
mines of which lo are operating, will
sidetrack everything else and bring
in coal. '+@' ..
The railroad officials believe the
miners will be back at work in full
force by next Monday and cars are
being assembled at all mines. Farm
ers throughout Illinois are already
hauling their winter supplies from the
mines nearest them and this will! re-
lease many cars for the city de-

OF Alaskan Oil Fields

Washington. Aug. 3-Navy and
geological survey officials are in
vestigating recently discovered oil
supplies in Alaska, Secretary Daniels
announced today upon his return to
Washington after tour of Alaska
and the west. i is hoped, he said,
that the Alaska oil lands eventually
will yield a large part of the oil
supply necessary for the Pacific
fleet.
Coal deposits totaling between
100000 and 100000 tons are already
in sight in the navy's coal reserve
lands in Alaska, Mr.. Daniels said,
with good prospects for very much
larger supply. Arrangements are
being made to mine and wash the
coal for the use of the Pacific fleet,
the secretary said, adding that the
Interior department also would de-
velop large deposits of coal on gov
ernment land. for commercial uses.

of operations by the owners who are
unable to get cars.
There are no wage grievances to
be presented from the miners to the
council" he continued. "The scale
is satisfactory. What is needed are

Washington, July 3.-Turkish ma

the American legation at Athens.
This information is based on COM
munique issued from the Greek head
quarters in the Asia Minor fighting
zone where Greeks are pushing the
campaign against the Turks.
The communique stated Greek, ad-
vanced lines were pressing the enemy
in Anatola and that the largely de-
pleted forces of the, nationalist
Turks, under command of Mustapha
Kemal, were escaping toward the
mountains. In their flight, the COM
munique said, the nationalists are
avoiding approach to villages where
Musselman populations are reported
