Picks Jackson Over Ruth As
 Slugger

New York, April 5.-Just for the s=ae of passing an idle hour in Tam pa, Fla, where idle hours abound in great numbers, some one started an argument as to the relative merits of Babe Ruth and the lamented Joe Jackson as pinch hitters. To the av- occasion for discussion in that Ruth has broken all records for run SCOT ing and driving in runs during the last two seasons. Yet the argument
 Some few reckoned Ruth the most dangerous of the pair, with men on the rUnways, but singularly enough the majority held out for Jackson. Joe, they declared, carried the verdict without a dissenting vote.
 There was exactly one baseball player in sight at the time, and to him rushed the heated orators, be- cause they knew him as one of the best Ieft-handers in the American League and a man who spoke with authority. Many times had he faced the men in question, and all too often ing moments known as a pinch
 What Mogridge Says:
 The man appealed to was George Mogridge, one-time portsider of the the Washington Senators via a trade that since has caused New York no little anguish.
 jackson would be my choice" was MOgridge's unhesitating verdict. 'fI know the Babe is one hitter that you cannot figure to fool. You might fan him with a slow ball or a curve, and the next time he will hit either or both so far that you couldn't find the ball with a special delivery let ter.
 'But''-here he paused for empha- Sis-tfor pure, undiluted, downright danger there is no hitter I ever saw that was in class with Jackson. That statement includes Cobb, Speaker, SisIer and all the other stars. They might outhit Jackson in the season averages, but when Joe really set his mind to getting a hit he was the toughest bird to pitch to of the lot.
 "No Batting Weakness
 "He had no batting weakness, the keenest eye in the game for good and bad balls and a temperament that was absolutely perfect. Ruth, if he is anxious enough, will go after bad Perhaps Mogridge's opinion is influ- enced by the fact that he had good year in 1921 against Ruth; perhaps the fact that he didn't have to pitch to the Hon. Babe during the latter first big season in 1920 may have something to do with his reasoning. And, then again, it may be neither. It is quite possible that the young man speaks words of infinite wisdom.
 In any event, there are baseball men in plenty who will volunteer, conviction that a greater natural hit ter never clutched a bat than the same Shoeless Joe. now an outcast from the game that gave him a re- nown far beyond his capacity for ap- preciation-

State Commission Hears
 Interesting Reports

Hartford. April 5.--Papers of ex- ceDtional scientific interest were read at a meeting of the State Tuberculo- sis commission. which was held at the Hartford State sanator1um today Dr. William M. Stockwen, superintendent of the sanatoriuTn, demonstrated var tous forms in which the tubercle bac- illus may grow and it's progress from one form to another.
 As ordinarily found and described. the tubercle bacillus, or consumption germ, wears for it's own protection a hard coat of poisonious wax. In the world wide search for method for destroying these consumption germs. hundreds Of experiments have been made in the attempt to deprive the germs of these hard coats or cap sules.
 After many months of study, Dr. StockweII reported today aI technique bv which he has been able to force these resistant, hard-she1led germs to become vulnerable, soft-shelled germs. and vice versa he showed that he could by changes in environment transform innocent, soft-shelled germs into the disease producing hard-shell- ed germs.
 pr. StockweII exhibited a number of 1nicro-photographs and colored photo enIargements showing all the changes referred to in his paper. He also gave an exhibition of rare clinical cases and cases a the sanatOrium that have been difficult of diagnosis.
 Dr. Samuel Delona, resident physl- cian at the Hartford sanatorlum, read a paper on Some Points In Physical Diagnosis of Cases of Tuberculosis" pr William M. Collier, who was un- til a week ago assistant at the Hart ford sanatorium, but who is now resi- dent physician at Norwich sanatorium, gave an x-ray demonstration of un- usual cases.
 A discussion of the papers and the unusual cases in which visiting phy- sicians from different parts of the state the members of the State Tuber- culosis commission, and the medical staffs of the five state sanatoria par ticipated followed.

Although on the witness stand be- fore Referee in Bankruptcy John Keogh for nearly three hours yester- day afternoon, little testimony of any great amount was given by John w. Wallis of New Haven. Wallis, presi- dent of the Industrial Finance and Mortgage Corporation, under close scrutiny of the court since complaints registered by Frank H. Wells. of Trumbull, Wallis, accused of securing S21,00O from Wells in questionable stock transactions. failed to answer but the most minor questions that were put to him yesterday for fear of discriminating himself.

Mrs. Wallis was also on the stand. as was Thomas L. Caskey, who was examined at great length at the first hearing. held last Friday afternoon. While being examined by Attorney Joseph Shapiro Mrs. Wallis admitted that she had received on dividend check for $14 but that she did not recall the source of the check.
 Wallis is represented by Attorney Clifford B. Wilson. Wells Is repre- sented by Attorneys I. Phillip slav- atsky and Joseph Shapiro. Shapiro also represents s. s. Ruskay and Company, who hold a check for S4OO from the troubled concern.

STATE F0RB|DS
COAL PRICE JUMP
Fair-Price Arbiter Says Opera
tors Anticipated Anthracite
Tax in Rates
DEALERS ARE WARNED

Anthracite operators will not increase
the cost of coal at the mines because Of
the State tax. according to the Fair
Practices Committee of the State Fuel
Commission.
Last month. after the United States
Supreme Court ruled that the Pennsyl-
vania anthracite tax law. which com
pes the anthracite operator to pay to
the State tax of 11H per cent of the
price he charges the retail dealer for
a ton of coal at the mines. was valid,
reports cmanating from many sections
in the hard coal regions said the opera :
tors were preparing to boost the price
from fifteen to fifty cents a ton, to
cover the tax ana the cost of extra
clerical force needed to compute and
handle the tax.
Immediately many. retail dealers in
Philadelphia and other cities antici-
pated the operators and boosted their
price from 80 cents to 81 a ton.
1t was made plain yesterday by Edgar
G.. FELTON,. chairman of the Fair Prac-
ticcs Committee, that any increase in
price by any of the anthracite oper-
ators, who in the fall appeared before
his committee with requests for in
creases over the prices obtained in 1921,
will be regarded as fragrant disregard
of the rulings of the committee. He
indicated the guilty operators will be
dealt with accordingly.
when those operators appeared be-
fore this committee in the full with a
request for higher prices" said Mr..
FELTON, yesterday. they brought with
them cost figures to substantiate their
demands. and to these cost figures was
added from twelve to fifteen cents a ton
in expectation that the Supreme Court
would uphold the anthracite law.
"That tax was provided for in the
increases given the operators following
their conference with this committee,
and any attempt to collect the tax
twice by again raising the price Of coal
at the mines will receive the full at
tcntion of the Fair Practices Committee
and the Fuel Commission"
