Government Inquiry.
Today a representative Of the
United States department Of JUS
tice was at work in the Fairmont
region, apparently Specializing on
securing information from the coal
brokers' offices Of the city.
1t is said tina he visits offices
and propounds a large number Of
questions about the sources Of the
coal, the firms 10 whom brokers
sell and all prices involved. The
examiner himself fills up the
blanks. Thus far he has not delved
into any examination Of office re-
cords it is said.
There appeared to be a falling
off Of buying on the part Of brok-
ers in the region today, but
whether the visits OF the govern
ment representative had any bear
Ing on this it is not known.
Assigned Car Case.
The injunction governing as
signed cars did not become effec-
tive today because the fourth cir
cult court Of appeals Of the United
States sitting at Ashville, N. G.
yesterday suspended it until de-
CIsion is reached.
Many Operators believed that
the case was lost, but the truth Of
the matter is that the court has
not passed on it, but takes time
to decide.

McGraw Bidding For
Hornsby's Services

Jack Fournier. first baseman of the
st. Louis Cardinals. who. is winter
Ing in Seattle. Wash, Is author of
the statement that big deal Is
scheduled for the winter which will
send Roger Hornsby to the New
York Giants for a small sized for
tune. Fourier does not state that he
has definite knowledge that such
deal VIII be negotiated, but he ad-
mits that Hornsby's days in the
Mound City are numbered. and that
he will In all probabilities be with
Mcraw next spring
The owners OF the Cardinals had a
difficult time with the Fiery Tex
an during the past season and have
taken II upon themselves to let the
temperamental star Of their infie
go. for price that is said to ap-
preach 100000.
Az the close of the pennant race
last season Hornsby drew a suspen-
sion for Indifferent playing and q
heavy fine for causing dissension in
the ranks of the team. Neither one Of
these seems to have any effect upon
| the batting star OF the Heydler cir
/ cult. and owing to his indifferent
/ playing-hurting the team in general
and the infteh in particular-the
owners have deemed it advisable to
sell him for the fabulous price men
toned above.
Not only do the ST Louis magnates
want to get rid Of the Texas star, but
Hornsby himself. 1t Is reported, has
requested change OF surroundings.
Several times during the playing sea-
son last year it was reported that
Hornsby was to come to the Giants
for e. cash consideration and several
players In exchange. Each time this
was denied by the st. Louis owners.
| Hornsby has said on several occa-
sions that he would like to go to the
metropolis and play with the Giants
Instead OF pastiming In st. Louis,
and there is no player that the
u more hearty welcome to than the
| champion batsman or the Nat1onai
| League. 1t is certain that McGraw
will leave no stone unturned to have
1.-THE second basennan of the Cardinals
in his lineup next year.
AS an active player the sun OF the
popular Larry Doyle is fast losing its
Hustler. He played his position in
faultless fashion last year. but he adj
mits himself that his days around
second base are few and with Ban
lcroft, Frisch and Kelly playing with
him in the infield. he is about to re-
| iinquish his position which he has SO
we'll taken care Of during recent
years.
i With player of Hornsby's caliber
the Giant infieh would be on par
with any in the majors In defensive
strength, and in attack the smuggling
