 Dublin, Sept. S-Eree State
 troops today began & sweeping
 movement to round up the Repub-
 Ican Irregulars, particularly in
 Limerick and Ttpperary counties,
 preliminary to tho meeting of the
 Dali Eireann (Par1iaTnent) in this
 city tomorrow. Several battles
 were fought. Many Republicans
 were captured.
 s Communication between Dublin and Cork Is still interrupted. This led to a recurrence of the rumors that Eamonn De Valera had been captured. This report is discredited even by government officials, although it Is ad : nitted that Ersk3ne ChilderS, De Valera's chief aide. may have been arrested.
 Whether De Valera will make a dramatic appearance in Dublin tomor- row to attend the Dali meeting, is problematicaL It Is unlikely that the government would interfere with his movements unless he disturbed the peace of openly urged revolution. While many Republicans will be re- leased from jail to attend the Dali meeting, the government has decided not to liberate Sean O'Kelley, "Sinn F'ein ambassador to Paris'' and Dr. McCarvil.
 Claims aggregatIng $4S,00o,000 for damage done in the warfare between Free Staters and Irregulars will come before the Dali. It is expected, also that the body will attempt to settle

COAL DISTRIBUTION
 AND SELLING PRICE FARLEY ON TODAY

Philadelphia, Sept. 8-Machinery is in motion today to accomplish an equitable and expeditions distribution of anthracite coal, when the miners return to work, as the result of a con- ference here last night in which rep resentatives of the government, New York, Pennsylvania, the New England states, the operators and leading rail- roads participated.
 At this conference, called at the be- hest of Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, w. D. B. Ainey, chairman of the Penna Fuel Commission who presided, appointed the following committee to plan the national distri- button of hard coal.
 Samuel D. Warriner, chairman; William l.. Cornell, W. J. Richards, Alan c. Dodson, w. H. Williams, R. Q. Morse, Jr., E. w. Parker, J. F, Berminghame and MT. Ainey These men represent both operators and miners.
 It is likely that Mr. Hoover will to- day name another member of this committee to represent the govern ment.
 Although the question of fair prices For anthracite coal came in for much discussion at last nights meeting, it was made plain by MT. Hoover and MT. Warriner that price fixing is the work of individual state fuel admints- tratOrs and commissions.

Connie Mack, who has seen the greatest pitchers through something like forty years Of baseball warfare, won't ED so far as to say Rube Wad- dell was the greatest of them a1f- but he is quoted as saying in a recent interview
 If waddeu had been possessed of the brains Of Mathewson- or John son, or Alexander, or Young, ne that would have ecEpsed anything in all baseball history
 -Wadded1 had an arm Wh1cn, 1n my opinion. was the most remark able to any pitcher that ever walked onto a diamond His speed was blind ing. his curves beWIdering. and his control superlative- There wasn't time when WaddeIl was at the height of his career. when he couldn't place a ball In exactly the spot where he willed to place it
 --But the trouble with Waddell, as everyone knows, was that he never grew up in a mental way He was playful and eccentric He was al- ways aiming to do stunts which were spectacular from tho viewpoint of the TandStand and which gained Tor him a lot of newspaper publicity But these stunts killed off Rube's 6 records.
 Ever See Him?
 T have seen him go fntO games again and again, have the opposition team at his mercy for four or five 1n- nings-ard then deliberately let down himself into a hole so that he might 1lave the fun of pulling himself out oi it have known him to put over three bad ones deliberately on a bat

Recently MT. May was offered one thousand dollars for putting on such a show for one day in a well known New York store. MT.
