Chicago, rs: New York. ..
Chicago, Sept 1S.--The Chicago
White Sox tonight are firmly en-
trenched in second place in the
American league pennant race as a
result Of defeating New York for
the third straight time
The game was played before the
largest crowd that ever witnessed
a baseball game in Chicago, the
attendance being estimated at a.
600. Comiskey park was jammed
until the spectators sWarmed ten
deep on the playing field, making
hit into the crowd good for only
two bases.
The White Sox went on a batting
rampage and collected twenty-one
hits, including six doubles and a
triple off the four Yankee pitchers.
Shawkey started the game for New
York but was driven off the mound
after the Sox bagged seven hits and
scored five runs in one and one
third innings. Mogridge attempted
to check Chicago and was touched
for three hits, including two dou-
bles, which netted Chicago three
more runs McGraw, rookie
pitcher. succeeded Mogridge and
survived the next inning, but In the
fourth Chicago, launched another
attack and MeGraw retired in
favor of Quinn after four runs had
been scored. p. .~ ..
Eddie Cicotte, pitching his first
game in ten days, was shaky at the
start, but was given sensational
support by Eddie Collins, Risberg
and Jackson, the latter taking Meu-
sells long fly off the heads of the
crowd and falling as he caught it.
Cicotte held the New York batters
safely until the latter part Of the
game when he eased up. He al
lowed eleven hits.
Babe Ruth, who had hoped to
bag his fiftieth homer, had dis
! iastrous day at bat. getting only a
single. He had faced three Chica-
go pitchers-Kerr, Faher and CT
cotte--fourteen times on the three
games and made only three hits,
two of which were off Kerr and
one off Cicotte. Today Ruth was
passed only once and on his next
attempt he forced Jackson to run
for a long fly. He famed the next
time up and on his fourth attempt
sent high fly to Strunk His last
time at bat he singled Score:

~ f5r free coal. according to the Technology OF the
coal industry, or spot coal in the language of general
business, is FIVE dollars ton. But in region like
this the proportion of coal that is not under contract.
and therefore can be disposed Of in the spot market,
Is very small The thing that keeps the wheels going
round IN the coal producing districts is contract COAL
andthe average price being received for contract coal
this year in the Fairmont region is way below hive

The Federal Trade commission. which has just
abandoned its effort to keep informed regarding coal
production costs because Of The hostility OF the opera

convinced was a grave mistake, trying 10 get at
the average cost of ton Of coal and the average sell
ing price Its last monthly bulletin, that for June, was
based upoa reports voluntarily submitted by 555 oper-
scattered over the IA mining districts of the coun-
nv and this shows that while the average selling price
for the month of June was $3.44 the total mine cost
was $2.70. The estimates based upon A.OOO

EuLL col PRODUCTION.

T has been estimated that the soft coal production
l Of this country ought to be 100000 tons per
week That may be liberal figure but it IS accepted
as being nearly correct. and the natural laws Of trade
made coal prices go up in inverse ratio to the fall Of
production from that figure. All The regulating that
Senator Calder and the other advocates of government
control could bring about would not alter those funda-
mental facs Of the fuel situation in America.
According TO the reports Of the Geological Survey,
which complies the only reliable production reports
we had four consecutive weeks of 100000 ton
mining days previous to October 3d. and the price Of
coal has been doing down. Because Of the fair prac
tees movement it is going down much fasther than it
ordinarily would. but the most powerful aid the men
behind that movement had in bringing about rapid price
slashcs were The production figures
The probabilities are that the early period Of this
month will also show noraml production. but be-
ginning with today a large number Of open top cars
which have been held exclusively the coal carrying
trade will go back to the steel mills, the brick plants
and to other industries which open top cars, and
as result coal production will drop The natural
effect of that will be stfening Of coal prices
There can be no cheap coal in this country unless
there is an abundance of transportation. If Senator
Calder is as much in earnest about getting coal prices
reduced as he pretends to be he will stop talking about
regulation and get busy helping the railroads to in
crease their coal carrying equipment and raise their eff
cheney standard That is the only way the trick can
be turned
