Coal Market Slumped

j. ID. Gabbard, coal operator
from Elkatawa, was here LAST
week and reported a considera-
BILE lull in the coal market
occasloned by lower prices. He
says coal is worth but 81 80 per
ton at the mines, and that this
price will not ray for the mining
and handling expenses and at
the same time leave fair price to
the operator for the coal taken.
For this reason most mines are
closed.

LOUISVILLE. Oct 5-"Fair and

them can be taken too lightly. Elk
perts believe the Yankee batting order
is one OF the most formidable in series
history. And this is what Toney,
Nehf, Douglas and other Giant
moundsmen must face.
Then the Giants.
Frank Frisch at the third sack has
no equal in either league He is a
Yeritable flash on the bases and his
nickname THE Fordham Flash" was
won thereby. On the defense Frisch
shows remarkably and at bat he is a
terror for any pitcher. Frisch hits
when hits are needed. He is the indi-
vidual star of the Nationals.
George Kelley the elongated Giant
keeper of the initial sack, holder OF
the home run record in his league for
the 1921 season, and Young and Burns
and Bancraft, with Snyder the reg
ular backstop form a batting bunch
that will give the Yankee pitchers
their greatest trouble. The entire Nc
Graw aggregation is noted for its dar-
ing on the bases and while they are
not so likely to make long hits they
figure to make runs through resource
fitness.

Manager McGraw.
