of the Cleveland Indians, pressing him
with 400
Sisler, however, continues to be the
best run getter with q TALES and is
setting the pace for the base stealers
with an even dozen thefts. His team
mate, Kenneth Williams, is on Sisters
heels with ten thefts. Williams failed
to add to his home run mark of a week
ago, his total circuit smashes remain
ing at ten, with Babe Ruth, the king of

Chips and Slips
DRAWS THE BLACK BEAN

Does Wally Hood, struggling young
outfelder with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Faced with the task OF cutting down
his large squad of outhelders, Manager
Robinson has decided that Hood isn't
needed, so he goes to Seattle. Roboy
still has lack Wheat, Hi Myers, Tom
Griffith. Bert Griffith. and Bernie Neis,
which ought to be enough. It's good
bet Hood will come back up again
soon, however.
JEFF Pfeffer, veteran pitcher. found
Hood while scouting for the Dodgers
in 1920. Hood was outfielding for the
Okmulgee Western Canada league
team and shared with Bernie Neis, also
grabbed up by Pfeffer, the honor of be-
ing the best outfelder in the circuit.
Early last season the Dodgers de-
cided to let Hood go and the Pirates
paid the waiver price for him. Three
weeks later the Pirates decided he
wouldn't help them any and called for
waivers. Uncle ROBBIE took him back.
The rest of the season he broke into
the game occasionally as pinch hitter
and pinch runner and played more or
less of part in several winning rallies
staged by the club. This year he had
failed to get regular assignment.
Hood could have gone to Memphis,
it is believed, but preferred the coast
berth, due to the fact his home is
there. The fact that the Dodgers have
kept string on him indicates that
Uncle Robbie hasn't given up hope OF
Wally delivering eventually.

DISCUSS STATE
COAL SITUATION
State Commission and Deal
ers TO Talk Equalization
and Cost
FAIR SUPPLY
is EXPECTED

Plans for equalizlng the distribu-
ton and cost of anthracite as
nearly as possible, will be discussed
at a meeting tonight Of the State
Coal Commission, members of the
Delaware Coal Club and local coal
dealers.
The meeting has been called by
Leon Walker, chairman Of the State
coal Commission. 1t will be held
in the Old Colony Club. Hotel du-
Pont.
Mr.. Walker says a definite prog
ram will soon be made known by
the Federal Fuel Commission con-
corning the allotment of coal to the
various sections of the country. He
said that the commission would
most likely base its allotment sched-
ule on the amount of coal used by
cities last year, exact figures OF
which are in their hands. It is
expected that the allotments will be
larger than had at first been ex-
pected, due to the opening OF the
mines on Monday.
Philadelphia's coal trade was en-
livened yesterday by the announce
ment of prices for anthracite by r..
B. Plat, Philadelphia sales manager
OF Weston Dodson & Co.
His company's price for egg,
stove and nut sizes (. o. b. at the
mines will be $3.50 a gross ton. Pea
will be sold for 81 and prices for
steam sizes will be determined by
open-market conditions.
The highest price for the large
sizes last year was $3.50, which pre-
vailed from November to January.
1922. Pea reached s6.15 in August
and September and later receded to
Sc.
The higher prices are intended to
overcome losses entaiIed by the cost
OF maintenance OF the collieries dur
ing the strike and the State tax, all
of which is apportioned by the COM
pany to the domestic sizes.
The freight rate to Philadelphia
from the Weston Dodson Shenan-
doah colliery is $3.50 for the large
domestic sizes and s2.14 for pea and
steam grades. Freight from the
Hazleton colliery amounts to s2.52
on the prepared sizes. S2.27 on pea
and S2.14 on buckwheat and smaller

are iDsistent on prompt delivery Of
coal.-as he'd been expected. Several
operators have experienced a short
age of labor because of migration
to other parts Of the country and
abroad. Shippers also express fears
of a a shortage because of the abb
normal demand and say that pro-
duction cannot be normal for weeks.
The settlement Of the shopmen's
strike also is expected to depress

WASHINGTON. d. C.-The mod
ern physician need no longer put his
ear against the body OF his patient
to hear the heart or lungs perform.
Nor need he use the ~stethoscope for
this purpose.
Instead. he may place a small In
strument on the patients body and
listen To the breathing and heart
beats from a distance!
This unusual performance is made
possible by the use Of the audion
or vacuum tube ampliher, similar 70
the one being used in radio recep-
ton today.
The heart of the new instrument
that makes heart-throbs audible
from a distance is the tube.
1t is exactly the same tube which
amplifies the weak sound waves in
a radio receiving set.
Among the first to demonstrate
this instrument. in its application TO
breathing and heart-beats. was Maj.
Gen. George o. Squier Of the United
States Signal Corps. 1t is only n
of the many uses to which General
Squier has put the radio
tube.
With General Squier's apparatus
to start. experts OF the Bureau of
Standards went TO work and per-
fected a process for recording
breathing sounds and heart-beats.
The instrument l. much o com
pick than the original, but through
It better results have been obtained.
The new apparatus consists main
ly of an ordinary telephone transmit
ter. adapted into a stethoscope, and
a vacuu tube ampliher. The sounds
are recorded on a steel wire and
