the league race.

the league race.
Penn Is visiting the Princeton men
In this game and the Tigers are
looking for a victory. Princeton has
not beaten Penn in basketball In a
good many years.
The sudden and unexpected fine
showing of the Tigers has led the
followers Of the Nassau men to be-
lieve that Penn will be ousted from
its premier position in the league.
Penn retained Grave, Huntzinger,
Rosenast and Voglein, losing only
Danny McNichol. Miller has replaced
McNichol and Grave is shooting
fouls with the accustomed grace Of
Danny McNichol. As a result Penn
is out in front with Princeton for
the league title and is touted as the
winner.
PENIS free tossers have been
noted. The other day Mike Sweeney,
former Penn forward and one Of the
best free tossers ever developed,
made a record in playing at Niagara
Falls. Sweeney. playing now in a
club team in Buffalo. shot fourteen
straight free losses in one game.
His previous performance was thir-
teen straight in the preceding game.
The total of twenty-seven straight
in two games constitutes a record.

Another Challenger for Tunney.

MARTIN BURKE, New Or
W lesns light heavyweight,
AA has added his voice to the
chorus of challenges directed at
Gene Tunney, the new champion of
that division. The tall, red-head-
ed Southern lad is kept busy with
his ring engagements below the
Mason and Dixon line, but after his
bout with Young Bob Fitzsimmons
at New Orleans on February IL
he will come North.
Tunney holds a decision over
Burke, whom he fought at Dyck-
man Oval last summer. Burke at
that time was badly handicapped
by split ear which had been Civ

which prevented him from being
one Of Dempsey's sparring part

Tunney shortly after he had sub

TO LOWER COAL PRICES
Judge Crawford Says They Are Due
To Come Down Soon.

Coal prices are to come down in
Topeka. At least Judge John H.
Crawford of the Industrial court has
a feeling that they ought to come
down He has issued another state
ment showing that prices here are un-
reasonably high and that with in
creased fuel Ioadings by the railroads
a drop in retail prices should be ex-
--ected.
-udge Crawford's statement covers
prices to consumers in Kansas City,
Wichita Pratt and Newton. He
quotes figures to show that retailers
handle coal on a smaller margin in
some of the towns of the state than
in Topeka He again mentions the
fact that a 10 per cent freight rate
reduction was secured during the year
and that with the old wage contract
in effect at the mines there should
be material price slump here.
Inc his statement Judge Crawford
urges that domestic consumers place
coal orders now and accept one and
two ton deliveries which will permit
distribution of the available supply.
Such a course, he says, will deIeat
plans of prodteers for harvest when
cold weather arrives. The fact that
the railroads are moving more coal,
the statement points out, indicates
that a price slump is imminent

Ruth swung viciously thrice in the
first inning and never touched the
ball, but for all that he demonstrated
that his intentions aren't altogether
to hit home runs. With the outfield-
ers playing back against the bleach

Sculptor Proved To Be a Tramp.

Dodge City, Kan, Oct. 5.-An
itinerant sculptor recently attracted
much attention here by moulding
replicas of well-known art groups from
wet sand in the river bed. So de-
lighted were spectators who watched
him from the bridge that on several
occasions they threw him many coins.
The sculptor later RACED the works of
art and left, saying he was beating
his way to California.
