FORTHNEWS STARS
Many Big League Players De-
veIoped in Anthracite
Coal Fields

W1LKESBARRE, April Am
thracite coal fields OF Pennsyl-
vanla In the past have given to the
big leagues many star baseball
players, and 1t is a good bunch
that others will develop in the
present enforced holiday. Should
history Of previous suspensions
since 1880 repeat there is no
doubt about 1t.
Between 1850 and 1890, the .
hard coal fields turned out such
baseball players as John
('Buck'') Freeman, whose home
run record stood for twenty years;
Hughie Jennings, former manager
Of the Detroit Americans and John
]. McGraw's able Lieutenant with ,
the New York Giants, Billy
Goeckle, former star first baseman
OF the Philadelphia Nationals; All
Gillespie, the old New York out !
fielder; Jack and Arthur McCabe,
Edward t"Buck''l Walsh, former
members of the Chicago Amerl-
cans; Frank Barker, once a Giant
catcher and Mike and John o'Neill
All Of them were developed in
the Wyoming Valley, and several
during suspensions similar to the
present suspension now in effect.
In the old days, baseball In the
coal regions was confined to
youths Of American, Irish, English
Welsh. Scotch and German ances-
try. Not so today. The sons Of
Polish, Slayish, Lithuanian, Rus
sian, and Italian immigrants, most
OF whose parents cannot speak
English, have taken to the game
with an enthusiasm unsurpassed.
Many of them have released their
ambition to become big league
players and others are on the way.
Among them are the Covelskie
brothers, Harris of Washington,
McNally of the Yankees, Shorten
of Detroit, Steve o'Neill of Cleve-
land, and Katch Of the Reading
Internationals. Kochinski, Bere-
tiski, Gido and q number OF others
are being given tryouts with pro-
f~essional teams.
Almost anywhere in the Wyom-
ing Valley it Is possible OH Sunday
to find a baseball game with sever
al thousand spectators, in which
all the coaching and roofing by
the players and fans Is done in a
foreign tongue. The game Is
looked upon In the region not only
as a wholesome sport but as a
powerful factor in the Americana

FINAL SCENE OF

Emporia Kan, Oct. 4.-The final scene in the latest episode of Henry and Me- is scheduled to be staged Tn the district court here opening Octo- Der 3. This will pertain quite defi- nitely to legal adventure" rather than one of a martial nature as was the original, a book written by Will liam Allen White Emporia editor and author, concerning the eXperi- ences of his life long friend Gov. H. J. Allen of Kansas, and himself, in Red Cross service overseas during the world war. In the coming 'tadven- ture," MT. White will be defendant on a charge of violation of the Kan sas industrial court act, sponsored by Governor Allen because MT. White hung in the window of his newspaper office a placard expressing sympathy for the striking railroad shOpworkers.
 If tho case comes to trial the issue Of free speech involved may be 1e- gally determined. MT. White con and others to remove the strike sym pathy placards was a violation of the privilege of free speech. Governor Allen has stated repeatedly that the volved-that the display of the signs constituted joining a conspiracy to prevent men taking the places of the striking shopmen. The Kansas in acies designed to interfere with the operation of any industry necessary to public welfare.
 MT White refused to remove the placard when ordered to by Attorney General R. J. Hopkins, but, following issuance of the state warrant and his technical arraignment in the district court, he agreed that pending deter imitation of the validiay of the act the placard sould remain down.

IN
 AUSTRIA CAUSE
 MONEY BOARDING

London. Oct. 4-The people of Aus tria are boarding their money; it would take f10, 100000 to place Aus tria on her feet again financially, yet Austrians have in Swiss banks an amount estimated at f1S,OO0,OOO These statements are contained in a report made by the British Depart mic condition of Austria In sum- ming up the Austrian situation this report says:
 'The psychological difficulty is the prevalent pessimiSm which inhibits in- itfative on the parts of the Austrians themselves, and makes them look solely abroad for salvation The amount of foreign credits generally estimated to be necessary to place Austrian on it's feet again by stabiliz- ing the currency and founding a new bank of issue is about f10,0O0,0OO.
 Tt is an open secret that, despite the law to the contrary, very much larger sums in foreign currencies than this are boarded by Austrians, both in- side and outside the country; the amount lying in Swiss banks alone has been estimated at 1S,o0o,OO0.
 But these resources lie idle be- cause the owners have no confidence in the government or the future of the country. Probably both the poli- tical and psychological difficulties can be overcome most easily by financial assistance given by foreigners under suitable control and conditions The Austrians, however, must show that they are ready to cooperate by talk ing at least the first steps to put their house in order themselves. There is some prospect of this being done at an early date"

Moscow, Oct. 4.-The people of Mos ccw are today wandering curiously from one church to another on Sun days, seeking to decide which brand e. the two Kinds of simplified ser vices pleases them the most. They have been accustomed by experience and ancestry to the elaborate rights tually nnonoyolized religion through out the country in the old days, and now that this has been taken away from them, they hardly know which way to turn.
 As result of the trials of church men for opposing the governments s triarch Tikhon was dethroned and the church reorganized. Thereupon. however, two new sacts developed. Archbishop Antonin. leader of the in harmony with the Soviet regime, was elected as Metropolitan of Mos COW by the Life Church conclave, but later he disagreed with others in his own organization and formed new group pledged to work for the Church of Regenration."
 Through government supervisor serious conflict was avoided and Met rcpoi1tan Antonin remains in office but, nevertheless. in his church an en- tirely different service is held than latter only few changes have been made from the old orthodox ser vices. while Antonin has gone in for simplicity. He has dismissed his choirs, done away with the secret al- tars, and holds his services in the Russian tongue while standing in the middle of the church. The congrega- ton does all the singing.
 The Moscow churches today have larger congreg egatfons than for many years past. Hundreds of priests also have come to the capital from the provinces to learn what is really SO ing on in the matter of church rc form.
 The Soviety government is under stood to have taken the position that it does not care how many particular forms of worship develop, but that it will not permit a serious conflict in the government body of the churches as a whole. Both groups are to have representatives upon the governing board,
