HIT CARS AT HIGH SPEED

Troy, Aug. 8.-A storm Of the most
serious proportions swept the Hudson
Valley last night accomplishing far
less damage here than elsewhere In

storm, drove ii into freight train
at the River street crossing, and bare
ly escaped with his life. In the dark
ness and binding sheets Of rain the
proximity of the railroad crossing was
not known to the motorist and SO
there was no warning nor slackening
Of speed Powers simply drove his
car fu speed ahead into the freight.
The impact sent the hood flying
into space, destroyed the engine and
the car generally Powers fortunately
jumped soon enough to save his life,
escaping with numerous cuts and u
shaking-up. 1t was related aiterward

Cleveland, Aug. 8.-Settlement OF
the nationwide soft coal strike under
definite plan that may result in the
making of wage agreements on sub
stantionally a national basis VIII be
presented to conference here We'd
nesday OF coal operators, who are ex'
pected to come from all parts OF the
country, with officials Of the union
miners.
In the main, the plan provides for
resumption of coal pro luction by
union miners under the wage scales
that existed when the strike began
last April /. and for the appointment
OF an advisory commission or
inquiry within the coal industry, the
personnel OF this commission to be
approvaed by President Harding.
Existence of the plan, which has
been approved by some operators
scattred through the country. be-
came known yesterday when union
officials and operators, controlling
about one-third of the output Of the
central competitive field, met both
separately and Jointly with view
of taking action toward breaking the
coal strike. The Joint conference ad-
journed until 3 p. m, Wednesday by
which time, it was announced offic-
tally, it was expected that "other sub
stantial interests" would join in the
meeting.
The plan, which was understood to
have the approval of John l.. Lewis,
president of the miners, and Alfred
NJ. Ogle, president of the National
Coal association, may be presented to
Indiana and Illinois operators today,
their meetings to be held in Indian
apois and Chicago for the purpose
OF deciding who will join the confer.
ence here. Confidence was expressed
here by operators and miners that
the Indiana and Illinois operators
would join the conference Wednes-
day and it was added that the oper-
ators were expected from several dis
tricts outside the central field, includ.
ing West Virginia, Iowa, Missouri.
Wyoming and some southwestern
states.
| When the first session OF the joint
conference OF miners and operators
ended, a statement was issued by Mr..
Lewis and Michael Gallagher, presi'
dent of the Pittsburgh Vein Oper-
ators association Of Ohio, as fol-
| lows:
at was agreed that the conference
after being organized should recess
to p. m, Wednesday, Aug. 9. This
action was taken in the belief that
other substantial interests would an
nounce their participation In the con-
ference by that time"
In issuing the statement Mr.. Lewis
and Mr. Gallagher refused to define
whether the substantial interests,
were entirely within the central field.
| Indications, however, were that they
Expected a majority of the operators
OF the central field and also those
from several other states.
Mr. Lewis, who refused to affirm
or deny the plan for settlement to be
placed before the conference on We'd
nesday, declared that he was "of the
opinion that this week will see the
end of the bituminous coal controver-
sy" AS soon as this is accomplished,
| the union officials are expected to ask
the anthracite operators to renew me-
| gotiation on a wage scale that, was
broken off in June after continuing
several weeks.

MOLINE AGREES
TO TRIP SOUTH
FOR PLOWBOYS

Spring training for the Moline
Plowboys at Morganton. n. c., has
been definitely decided The direc-
tors of the association put their Of
fetal o. X. to the plans of Mana
ger Earl Mack when a letter was
received from him yesterday after
noon stating that Morganton bus
mess men had subscribed $500 to
cover expenses. This money already
is on deposit in a MorgantOn bank
and is expected to meet the cost Of
maintaining the aspiring Plows
from March 20 to April 20 in south
ern chimes.
Candidates for the team living in
the east will be the only ones to
share in the plan. Those too far
west will have to wait for the ar
rival of the team in Moline.
Manager Mack reports he already
has exhibition games scheduled
with Papa Mack's Philadelphia Ath-
letics and the Baltimore club of the
International league. Morganton
is a town of $500 and is located in
the center of the Piedmont league
Mack says it will not be difficult to
arrange plenty of games with teams
in this circuit during the stay in
Morganton. On the trip to Moline
efforts will be made to play as
many exhibition games as possible.
Tentative plans call for arrival
here the last week in April.

New York, Jan. 26.-Boxing pro-
motors of the east. and of SNew
York particularly. were scratching
their heads today over whom they
can shove into the lions cage that
the public will pay to see chewed
up. In other fords, they were fig
uring out an opponent for Jack
Dempsey. The problem was made
more acute by the presence here of
Jack Kearns, Dempsey's manager,
who is here looking for fights for
his big boy.
Tex Ricard is the bird who had
Kearns' ear today, and the line of
argument he poured into it is pref
ty generally known. Richard talk
ed Bill Brennan, if reports be true.
Who else could he talk? For that
matter, even Brennan has come to
be pretty much of a joke since his
manager failed to make good on
the proposal that Brennan should
meet the winner of the Greb- Wien
ert fight some time ago. If Wicnert
had won. Bill would probably have
signed. but evidently he doesn't
have any part of the clowns game
the clown being the term that
Brennan applies to Greb
OF course a crowd would flock
to the Garden to see Dempsey fight
Brennan, not because they would
have any idea of seeing a battle of
a century, but because Dempsey is
a drawing card no matter. Who he
fights and lot of fans would pay
to see him.
Tex" said a critic of the game
today, here is a proposition for
big battle: Take Dempsey and let
Brennan get into the ring with him
for five rounds; then Madden, then
Captain Roper, then Fred Fulton
and then Bob Martin. Any one who
lasted the five rounds would get a
certain big percentage of the gate
receipts"
Richard did not commit himself
on this, but announce that he
didn't think the idea was such a
bad one at that
Perhaps the heavyweight. I'M
named. that Nick Pavese of Newark
has picked up in Baltimore may
work into a match with the cham
pion. Nick says that his find weighs
206 and stands feet 2A inches
Pavese wants to arrange a match
for him against Wienert and then
later have crack at Dempsey.
Maybe Baltimore sports will know
who this find is. He has been
missed by New Workers..
Aside from Dempsey. Kearns is
full of business. He is interested
in Babe Hermann and thinks with
the help of Dan McKetrick he can
make a featherweight champion
out of him. And then there is Joe
Benjamin, whom kearns touts as a
sure lightweight champion posi-
bility. The fact that Joe has to
hurdle no one less than Benny
Leonard doesn't worry kearns. Be
sides all that. Kearns promises to
produce strong middleweight
championship candidate soon Can
he mean Jimmy Darcy.

TURF DEvOTEES

Horse Followers Busy Doping Prob
able Winner of Next Seasons
Classic.

Louisville, KY, Jan. 26.-Turf
followers already are specializing
on the probable entries and are
measuring the chances of those
that already have been named for
the 4Sth annual renewal of the Ken
lucky derby at Churchill Downs
early in May Norwich, the unbeat-
on 2-year-old, at present has the
call, because of his spectacular per
formances last year. Last seasons
crop of 2-year-olds was mediocre,
turf critics say, despite the fact
that several good performers made
their debut.
Reports from the east say that
Trainer Frew Burlew is preparing
the son of Runnymeade for this
greatest of American races. Turf
authorities say Norwich stands out
in the light over his prospective
opponents, and that if he trains on,
they declare he undoubtedly will
be the fayorite in the winter books.
There has not been a winter
choice to win the derby since the
FLY, Regret, led all the way and
won in 1915. incidentally, she is
the only FLY that ever won that
classic.
Other runners that are sure to
have a following if they are entered
in the derby next spring are Bunt-
ing, the Futurity winner, and two
good-looking FLIES, Startle and
Miss Joy. Still others showed up
well, especially at the flag end of
the season, and II racers that won
$4,000 or more last year are elig-
ible. They are with the number OF
races won, and the purses collect

NOT
AT FAULT IN
COLLEGE LIFE
Amherst Head Ar
raigns Average I'm
dergraduate.
By WALTER CAMP.

Copyright, 1922, by The Argus.)
College athletes are in a state or
upheaval owing to the wide-spre cad
discussion started by DR.. Lowelfs
observations in his annual report al
Harvard but the picture is presented
from a new angle in an address
made the other day by DR.. Fitch or
Amherst before Yale students.
THE average undergraduates,
said DR.. Fitch, sis nothing more or
less than a very complicated ass IN
a generation that is ignorant of its
moral responsibilities, finding its
pleasures in the moral debauch or
the moving picture and modern
dances"
If this view is true, athletes are
not to blame and a greater dis
semination of outdoor sports would
tend to improve matters. The whole
situation is extremely complicated.
The very existence of intersectional
contests has increased interest In
athletics to high pitch and has un-
doubtedly done much good in its
way. But it has brought other ele-
ments along in its wake. The Ma
tional Collegiate association lnaug-
urated last year national track
championship meet and the event
was held in Chicago: The Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania did not send
men to the meet and now it is rum
ored that the University of Chicago
will not send men to the Pennsyl-
vania relays, as in the past, because
of the fact.
If it is true that Earl Eby, the
lion hearted little middle distance
runner and intercollegiate half
mile champion. has retired from the
track, it will be great disappoint-
ment to all who have followed his
fine work. 1t will also affect the
running this year of the Millrose
600. There never was man who
had more pluck and a more highly
sustained spring at the finish.
1t is very pleasing to the old
veterans who remember the fine
running of Bernard Wefers to see
his son Bernie doing so well in the
sprints and everyone is looking for
ward to his duplicating the record
of his father.
Joie Ray, Murchison, Schultz and
Lommis are big factors as drawing
cards in the indoor meets and the
exoneration by the Central A. A. u.
of the charge of putting in extreme
expense accounts has relieved
great many who have been count
ing on seeing these men perform.
Whether anything further will come
of the matter is a question.

Twin-City Quits.

At a meeting held last night at
the Island City Bowling alleys, it
was decided to bring the schedule
of the Twin-City league to a close
and award the pennant to the Is
land City's. This decision was
reached because of the continued
failure of the 800 Block team 10
appear for scheduled games and
in view OF the large lead obtained
by the Island Eisys in the league
standing Next Tuesday evening
final meeting will be held at
the Harms alleys, at which time
prizes will. be awarded the win
ners and the league disbanded. Fol-
lowing the close of this meeting
another meeting will be held and
steps taken to organize city
league. The four leading teams of
the TwinCity league will probably
be awarded berths.
Final standings and averages of
the Twin City circuit will be avail
able for publication within a few
days.
The roster of the pennant-win-
ming Island Citys include the fol-
lowing bowlers: Hy Gibson, Roxy
Long, Moe Finkelstein, Roy Lohse,
Andy Paulsen. Bill Danielson ana
John Mangelsdorf. Awarding of the
Twin-City league pennant to the
Island Citys gives the Fourth ave-
nue. gang three championships in as
many seasons, as it finished first
in the Commercial league in 1920
