AS THE editor
SEES IT.

Experts are telling us that the
country will be short of coal this win
ter, because the mining companies can
not get freight cars enough for ship
ping the coal@to distributing points.
Go into any big railroad yard in the
country and you will see thousands and
thousands of ears standing on side
tracks waiting to be unloaded. In
numerous cases they have been stand
ing many days, possibly weeks, yet
no apparent attempt is being made
to unload them. Even in small towns
you will find cars standing day after
day. d
This condition is one great cause
for the shortage in rail transporta-
ton. tits the reason why the mines
are not putting more coal on the mar
ket. 1t is the reason why many peo-
will freeze next winter if coal is not
moved more rapidly.
It would be an easy matter to cor
rect this disquieting condition of af
fairs.
The government could take one
great railroad center as an example.
1t could send secret service oper
atives to that city to check up on
idle cars, and the cause for such
idleness. An explanation could be
demanded of the railroad company.
II, the company could not give
legitimate reason, the officials should
be punished or jailed if possible.
It not the fault of the company,
and the consignee is responsible, he
should be punished or jailed if pos
sibie..
And if government officials whose
duty it is to prosecute such offenders
show an inclination to delay or evade
the issue because some prominent
people" are involved, the president
should remove them from the office
and otherwise punish them or jail the
sinking prosecutors, if possible.
One such shakeup as an example |
would be sufficient. Cars would begin /
to move everywhere, and would keep
on moving. /
And the people could keep warm
next winter, which is doubtful under
the present conditions.

The king of Greece contracted

The king of Greece contracted a
morgantic marriage with charming
lady not of the royal circle. His
army officers and his governm ent
officials are much distressed thereat,
and are endeavoring to induce the king
to cast her off, toss her into the dis
card, and marry someone of the blood
royal.
If the young king is weak he will
put a good wife behind him and cling
to his tinsel crown. If he is half
man he will remain true to the
woman he has married.
But kings as rule are not quite
half man, and theultimate decision of
young Alexander is predetermined.
The old world does not possess a
single crown that could compensate
for the loss of the love and respect of
a good Woman
Some day kings will have brains
instead of vanity, or there will be no
more kings.
Think little and you will call to
mind some young lady whose sweet
ness of disposition is marvel to her
friends
Part of that disposition is heredi
tary, but much of it is the result of
environment and early training
Some mothers have a rare talent in
the training of children. They do not
rule by threats and spanks, but from
early childhood the pride of the little
one is brought to the fore.
AS early as it can understand, it is
taught to be gentle and sweet, and to
take pride in excelling in those We
manly qualities which appeal so
strongly to the human race.
AS child is taught in its infancy, /
so will it invariably be in maturity.
If all mothers would bear this fact t
constantly in mind, there would be
more of that innate sweetness which /
is So charming in the female sex, and
which appeals so strongly to manhood
in all stations Of life.

 BOTH IN HARD TRAINING

Battling Levinsky left this week for White Sulphur Springs, Saratoga Lake, where he will put the final touches to his training for the 12-round bout with Georges Carpenter to be held at the Jersey City ball park on the night of Columbus Day, October 12. Levinsky has been training for several weeks in Philadelphia, doing road work in Fair mount Park in the morning and gym nasium work at Ryan's in the after noon.
 "Levinsky is in the greatest shape of his life" said Dan Morgan, his man. ager, yesterday. Don't make any mis- take-this fellow will beat Carpenter to moral certainty. He's ready to fight right now I'm planning to bring the Batt1er down Jimmy De Forests place at Long Branch for a few days after he has put in a couple of weeks at White Sulphur Springs, and on the last two or three days of his training he will do his work at Grupps gynna- sium i'll order to let the public see him in action and get a line on his chances with the Frenchman."
 Carpenter is training faithfully al Summit, N. J., and Freddy Welsh de clares he is in fine condition. Jack Cur1ey is planning series of public workouts for Carpenter in his training quarters at Summit. The first will bs held next Tuesday afternoon for news paper men.

GAMBLING IN EARLY
 YEARS OF BASEBALL

The old Cincinnati team was the pfo- neer saIaried club of baseball, though there is a conflict in authorities as to the exact year in which the team went under salary. Edwin A. Goewey writes in Leslie's. In the Spalding official baseball guide the year is given as 1868, while Albert G. Spalding, in his book of memoirs, Baseball" gives the year as 1869, and cites enough de tail to make 1t evident that the latter date is correct. Anyway, it was in 1869 that the Red Stockings made their phenomenal record. The official rec. ords give 81 games won, none lost, and one tied with the Haymakers of Troy, N Y. There is no doubt about the tie game and that no contests were lost, but both MT. Spalding and Harry Wright, the heads of the team, give 56 as the total of games won.
 From ancient baseball lore, particu- larly the "reminiscences of MT. Spald- ing, who played leading role in put ting the game on Its feet, later saving 1t from the gambling and commercial element, and did much to popularize American sports generally, it Is gleaned that gambling was intimately identi- fled with the game in the late sixties, much harm being done to the sport by the progenitors of the present-day fol- lowers of the racetracks and other places affording opportunity for f1nan- cial gain through the element of chance

 in Brief
RED SOX COLORS
 LOWERED BY WEISSMEN

When the Boston clan pulled up at the 18th stake, last Sunday, at the wrong end of the score, the faithfu1s who sat to the finish saw the most thrilling windup of any game this season.
 After the Sox pasted Bender's offer 1ngs freely in the opening innings and with Nagle playing a wretched game at first base and the rest of the club not rendering any too good support the affair took on the aspect of a decidedly one-sided game.
 After the first two disastrous frames the Tribe seemed to take on a new lease of life and got started on hitting rumpus that resulted in total of 17 safeties, secured off Pitchers Waite Hoyt, Garry Fortune and Carr, an out fielder pressed into service in the last two innings. It was steady plugging all the way and i'll the eighth inning when the Indians slipped over three runs and were within two of tieing the count that the crowd went wild
 Then came the big thrill in the ninth. Neal Ball planted nice single in cen- terfeld, Frank McGowan stepped up to the plate and with two-and-two on him biffed one of Fortunes shoots to the centerfleld fence. The ball took freak bound and went sailing over the top of the fence, Ball and Mac scoring, tieing the count.
 The next three innings witnessed some alright baseball on the part of both clubs. The Red Sox got a man as far as third base in one of the extra innings but his mates were unable to bring him in.
 Just before the start of the 18th Um- pire-in-Chief Hugh Rorty announced that the game would be called at the end of the inning in the event of no score. However Hugh's announcement was not necessary as the Tribe went right out and copped the winning tally. Neal Ball reached first when Carr, then pitching for the Red Sox, hit him in the back with a pitched ball. Emmons Bowen, the ex-Ho1y Cross captain, came through with terrific wallop to right field which went for a triple, scoring Ball.
 The Red Sox were unable to accom- plish anything in their half of the 18th and the game was over. Chick Bowen, Joe Dugan and Cy Perkins, who were added to the New Haven roster for the afternoon, played excellent ball and the fans appreciated their work. Gillespie pulled some circus catches in right field while Bowen saved the game III the ninth by fine running catch. Frank McGowan pulled some difficult fielding stunts and Tiger Shay covered acres of grou1d at short.
 Bender was improving every inning and realized the ambition of a season by trimming major league outfit. Following is the tale of perfect baseball day:
