dence Of the extreme prosperity Of

COAL DEALERS ACCUSED.
Price Commissioners For Iowa CHARGE
Profiteerino.


Des Moines, Oct. 12.-"Coal prices
in Iowa are unreasonably high" says
Horace G.. Larimer of Charlton, state
fair price commissioner. "This is in
part due to excessive profits by GER
tain coal operators, some of whom
are charging retailers of coal from
Sc to $3.50 a ton while coal Ut like
quality from Iowa mines Is being
sold to railroad companies at from
$40 to $3.50 ton and II, some in
stances for as low as $2.S5 a ton to
large industrial plants.
Large coal operators in Illinois,
owing to labor trouble, are unable to
fill their larger contracts FOR coal
at less than from 81 to s425 a ton,
and therefore offer but little COM
petition to Iowa coal operators. It
can, however, be said in mitigation
of the prices charged by some Of the
smaller operators, that these high
prices have enabled them to work
mines of shallow veins The cost Of
producing this coal is perhaps from
81 to So tom Mr.. Larimer said.
While coal is not listed among the
commodities Mr.. Larmier is empow-
cred to interfere with when he deems
their prices excessive, he is well-in-
formed on the coal question thru his
price reducing work along other lines,
and has investigated the present coal
situation.
The subject Of prepared food prices
IN Iowa restaurants is at present en-
gaglng Mr.. Larimer's attention.

Brooklyn's Fifth
Win of Pennant

This Is the fifth time Brooklyn has
won National League pennant.
Brooklyn captured the flag in 1890,
the year it made its debut in the
National League. with practically the
same team that had won the flag the
year before in the American Asso-
citation under the same manager. Will
liam Fl. McGunnicle. On the team
We're such great players as Foutz on
first base, Collins on second, Pick
ney on third. Smith at short. o Brien,
Corkhill, Burns and Donovan in the
outiield; DAILY. Bushong and Clark
behind the bat, ,Lovett. Carruthers.
Terry and Hughes in the box, 1t was
Lovetts pitching that had great bear
ing on Brooklyn's triumph. The port
ly finger led the league with per-
centage of 1877.
1t was not until 1899 that Brook
lyn again came thru at the head of
the National League procession, and
again 1t was with .borrowed' team.
That was the first year OF the trans
planted Baltimore team at Wash
ington Park. Mccain and Jennings
played first base. Daily second. Casey
third, Dahlen short. Kelley left field,
keeler center and Jones right. Far
rell and Mcguire were the catchers
and Hughes. Kennedy, Dunn and Me-
James the pitchers. John Anderson
was used at first and in right field as
emergency required.
The following year, 1900. Brooklyn
repeated. Changes had been made in
the team. Gene De Montrevilie alter
hating with Tom Daily at second and
Lave Cross playing third. Jimmy
Sheckard was in left field, Joe Kelly
covering first at times. Joe McGin-
nifty and Frank Kitson had been adj
ded to the pitching staff. Jimmy
Hughes topped the league pitching
list in 1899 with the excellent mark of
,S23 and McGinnity headed it in 1900
with a record OF 1853
1t was sixteen years later that
Brooklyn won it's pennant. After the
gradual disintegration of the cham
pions of lS99-1900 the club drifted
aimlessly about. From 1902 when it
finished third. IL never landed higher
than fifth until 1915. when it was
third to Philadelphia and Boston.
This was such startling improve
ment that it forecast an early pen
nant triumph for Brooklyn and when
Wilbeft Robinson led his cohorts
safely across the championship goal
In 1915 there was no great surprise.
The following year the Dodgers suf-
fered an awful slump due to dissatis-
action. From n champion team it
fell to seventh p'accAn 1s17.z while in
'sis and 1919 fifth hole was what 1t
nlied.
The 1920 champions are not great

how rabid the fan, he viii acknow-
ledge this as fact. 1t Is a corking
! club when 1t comes to pitching, but
1t has many shortcomings in other

1893 and 1900, which Ned Hanlon
