COSTELLO POST HAS GRIEVANCE.

THE controversy between Costello
1 Post and w. c. "Yank' Robbins.
District representative of the A. A.
u, growing out of the latter's re-
fusal to permit the legion athletes
to compete in the Johns Hop
kins athletic games, will probably
be aired before officials Of the
A. A. L.
Hopes that the grievances will
be heard before the Amateur Ath-
letic Union is expressed in a signed
statement issued last night by Dor
sey J. Griffith, athletic director of
the Costello Post. An extract of
the statement follows:
THE Costello Post in no wise de-
sires to smother with clouds the an
ticipated spIendor of the coming
American legion track meet.
The assertion that the Costello
Post. is trying to hide behind any
grievances with the South Atlantic
A. A. U. is entirely mistated, as
the Costello Post is actually doing
just the opposite, namely: Coming
out with their grievance!" What
we want is open action! However
We vouch that Mr.. Robbins ex-
presses his feeling In the matter
GA11Niy lhdl lie re-
grets the action taken by the Co.'S
tello Post.
The post feels that entering the
American Legion meet of May 6 or
any other meet sanctioned by the
South Atlantic A. A. u, they will
again place themselves in a posi-
tion to be subjected to similar treat
ment as handed down by Mr.. Rob-
bins at the Johns Hopkins games in
Baltimore on February 25.
"No effort has been made by the
officials of the Washington Depart
ment of the American Legion to
bring the matter to the attention of
the president of the A. A. u. in Bal
t!more that satisfactory explana-
tion may be forthcoming, but the
department of the American Legion
has obtained sanction from the
A.. A. U. for the department games
of May 6. ignoring absolutely the
position of the Costello Post re-
garding the track meet in Balti-
more
TN his article Mr.. Robbi:. re-
marks that the Costello Post tried
to put something over on the A. A.
u We suggest that the official of
that organization look further than
the cover of his rule book before
passing such insinuating remarks
about the athletic policy Of the Cos
tello Post. The post is well aware
| of the fact that several of It's men,
.bers were registered with the
Aloysius Club and stated that fact
to DR.. sKistler, secretary of the
games committee of the JohnsHop-
kins meet and on the entry blanks
before sending in the entries. II
was explained TO Kist.er hat we
were only eligible to compete in a
closed American Legion event and
we wished to enter such an event
only open to post teams of the
American Legion The fact that
Mr.. Kistler, finding that no other
American Legion teams had, entered
the meet, entered our team Chat
we would not lack competition) in
an open relay race. was certainly
no fault Of the Costello Post.

Expert instructors are bound to

will have to develop promising
baseball material. His job Is to
organize baseball in the area and
to make trips to the various posts
and camps.
He will call the baseball men
together and give several lectures
to each unit. Then he Twill have
the athletes on the field and after
watching them perform for a few
days, will turn over the camp

There will be various leagues
organized Herzog will continue
his trips through the area and will
keep an eye peeled for the best

ARE FORT MYER PRICES TOO
STEEP
Keen Gauger:
"Just a few words to kick
against the high price of admission
to the Fort Myer boxing shows.
Last year the prices were 81 and
$50 which included admission and
ringside. Three weeks >ago the
price was boosted to 81. At the
bouts on Monday. March 20, the
prices were 81 and S3.
TT seems to me Il is extortion
To charge So for ringside seats for
bouts of the class being put on at
Fort Myer, when you can see
CLANCY, Dundee and others of the
best in the business at Baltimore
for 50.
IF those in charge of the Fort
Myer shows insist on charging
championship prices for mediocre
bouts, there will be plenty of room
in the riding hall without enlarg-
ing the same. 'f
(Signed) 81. c. GRAYSoN,
1922 + street northwest"
Far be il from this column to
dictate to the promoters of any ath-
letic games regarding prices, but
on the surface, it appears that Mr..
Grayson has a logical argument in
spite Of the fact that the ring
shows are not being put on for
profit.
The idea is to furnish amusement
for the soldiers stationed at the
post, like the million and one other
entertainments arranged by the Of
ficers to help the boys while away
some of their spare time The pub
lie was not considered when the
post started running shows.
However, District fans. who are
hungry for their fayorite sport,
fiocked to the government reser-
walton in droves to get some real
action. II no admission had been
charged. the riding hall would not
have been large enough to accom-
modate all the prospective custo-
mers. It WAS almost compulsory to
fly a price of admission to limit the
size of the crowds. and Also to raise
money to cover expenses.
1t requires money to run enter
tainments of any kind. especially
boxing. The officers realized this
and there was. not enough money in.
the athletic treasury to allow them
to stage shows without admission
If there Is any profit. the money
is turned over to the athletic fund
to finance other sports that are not
self-supporting.
But why make civilian box
ing fans carry other sports on
their shoulderss OF course the
civilians are not compelled to go
to the shows, but they love the
game and would pay any reason
able price. They have literally
patronized the. last two enter
tainments, and Il In only fair
I'm appealing to the athletic Of
hcers ts he a bit more reason
able I'm fixing the admission fee.
An admission of 81 with an extra
tax of 81 for a ringside seat is ask
ing a whole lot. when in other cities
where the game is fourishing,
champions perform for prices rang
ing from 81 to IS.
There are any number of dyed
in-the-wool fans who would love
to go over to Fort Myer every
| week or two to see the shows, but
are not in position to pay the
tariff. especially in these days.
why not provide n limited
number of seats mt n reasonable
figure to accommodate those
who cannot pey top pricess

 AID JAP SHIPPING
Contracts Expose Use of Foreign Ships While U. S. Vessels
 Lie Idle.

Washington, Jan. o.-Complying with a request by the senate, the in terstate commerce commission has compiled list of contracts between American railroads and foreign steamship companies.
 These contracts show why millions of tons of shipping are carried in foreign vessels, while ship subsidies are favored and certain Americans sagely discuss "thc need to revise the La Toilette seamen's law that the American merchant marine can be built up.''
 In the far northwest prominent trunk lines agree with Japanese ship ping companies to represent each other in their respective countries. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad pledges the Osaka Mercan- tile Steamship Company that it will mot become interested" in any other competition with the Japanese con cern, while the earnings from joint through freight business will be divided between the two parties.
 The Great Northern Railway Com pany agrees with the Nippon Steam ship Company that both shall work to their mutual advantage and the Jap ships shall be given preference on freight to the Orient. The rail- road company also agrees ito exer- else it's best endeavors to secure ex- emptino from or reduction in port, pilotage, lighthouse dues, etc, that steamship companies pay"
 These agreements show that the American railroads and Jap shipping companies are working as one, to the disadvantage of American ships that would build up trade in the Orient

COAL OWNERS HIDE
 PRODUCTION COST
Even the Government Is Unable to
 Get at Operators Figures.

Washington, Jan. 6.-It is impos- siblc to ascertain the cost of produc- ing coal, said Senator Frelinghuysen who declared in the senate that the buyer nor the government can secure this information, which is necessary to put the coal industry on a stable basis.
 "The whole subject" said the New Jersey lawmaker, lis shrouded i'll a smoke screen of inky darkness and has been ever since the National Coal Association in the Maynard case, ob- tained an injunction blocking the fed cral trade commissions investigation of costs.
 "Tke present situation is strangely like that which led up to the great miners strike in 1919. Then, as now, a period of subnormal production and widespread unemployment among the coal miners The discontent caused by that condition of unemployment was the direct cause of the miners strike.
 MT. President, the present wage March 3I, 1922 On that day the wages to be paid to over 500, o,ooo men come up for settlement yet we are doing nothing to forestall a break. We have not taken one step to allevi- ate the condition of the miners. In- stead, we have let the situation drift until the mine workers have endured the longest siege of unmployment since the panic of 1893"
 In an effort to break the jam, said Senator Frelinghuysen, it was pro- posed to authorize summer reduction in freight rates to encourage coal buying.
 But the organized coal lobby sue ceeded in recommitting the bill. This chamber, having before it practical plan to ameiorate the lot of the coal and put the plan by"
