Earl Smith took part in eleven
games and. for an outfielder, had d
very poo. average. his figures being
.2S6. HIS nine hits totaled nineteen
bases and in Cleveland his blows had
the saving graces Of being most
timely.
Washington fans following the
work of Eddie Coche' should take
delight In learning that the young
outfielder hung up a batting average
Of .333 in nine games. beginning with
those in Boston. Up twenty-four
times. Goebel hit safely eight times.
He had one two.bagger to his crecit.
Bob LaMotte got into nine games,
also, and getting six hits in twenty
five trips to the plate his figures
were .240.
ossie Bluege took part in fourteen
games and the best he could do In
fifty chances<was to hit safely eleven
times. one being two-bagger. This
entitled him to the low mark Of .20z.
That Hank Shanks should be
kept In the lineup was shown
by his hitting In nine games.
Howling Hank went up to the
plate twenty-nlne times. He hzm-
mered out eight bingles, totaling
ten bases. giving him an aver.
age Of ..75.
Washington scouts have been
tipped off to find a right-hand hit
ting outfielder. Az a matter of
fact, Hank Shanks 10 the best out
fielder on the club right now and,
instead of searching for a gardener,
the club scouts should be hunting
for third baseman, IL II is decided
that Bluege and LaMotte will not
fill the bill. This. by the way, Is
far from settled. Shanks' work
against the White Sox In the out
field proved beyond the shadow OF
argument where he should play for
the. rest Of the season.
Roger Peckinpaugh got into fif.
teen games and his batting average
over that stretch was .230. He got
twelve hits, totaling fifteen bases,
In fifty-two times at bat. The vet.
eran has been set back by his IN
| Jury, but he is beginning to hit
asain and should soon be at his
best.

w Tigers, now SO furiously
ferocious, would be as tame tabby

ity which Is keeping the Tigers in
the pennant race.
On paper the Tigers are not so
formidable. But out there on
the field, with Cobb leading the
way and turning to drive them,
the Tigers are q hard gang to
beat.
The Detroit leader is not q
leader in name only. He is an
actual and brilliant leader on the
field itself. He asks no man to
attempt what he himself cannot
do. And his players know 1t.
Cobb has Q rough tongue, ike

he does not spare his players when

The Filipino. Jsmito. was on the
carpet when the last batch of mail

card down under. Every time he

he was getting rich fast. But Of

as a result of the unexpected

Bert Spargo and ST. Gorfrey,
rivals for the lightweight title Of
Australia, are the big attractions

times, and they never failed to fill

bouts have resulted in draws and
II looks as though they will go on
indefinitely unless the fans tire OF

There are a number Of American
boxers fighting in Australia at the
present time, but most Of them are
unknown to fame. Jimmy Clabby,
the Milwaukee veteran, returned
home recently after spending many
years on the other side Of the
world. Clabby still thinks he can
fight and he wants a chance to
show his wares in New York. but he
is likely to find things decidedly
different over here

Economic Pressure of Industrial Conflict Not
Unlike Wa Blockade
By JUDGE W. L. HIGGINS, Kansas Industrial Court.

The economic pressure of industrial conflict is not unlike the eco
nomic pressure of the blockade in international warfare. 1t is the duty
of the government to protect the life, the liberty, the health and the
peace of the people. 1t makes no difference by whom the public il
threatened, whether by organized labor, by organized capital, by organised
insurrection or by q foreign enemy.
ALI over this land today the domestic tranquility is being impaired,
justice rs failing, the general welfare is threatened, the liberty of tho
individual is denied, and there is no common defense because there 10
no Law by which thar conditions can be controlled. If prompt, vigorous
sction be not taken in the near future, the people of America may suffer
hGntsy more than they suffered in the World war.
am confident that power lies with congress to provide for the CON-
mon defense against such conditions as now exist, a adequately ~
against invasion from . foreign foe.
I believe that congress should and will in near future enact a Law
similar in import TO the Kansas industrial act, that q tribunal Of a high
Judiciary nature viii BE- etabished and be given jurisdiction overi indus
thl controversies in int~stats and foreign commerce. and in the pro-
d.eion Of fuel This 1t seems to me, would be clearly within the COM

HARNESS VOLCANO FOR
HEAT AND STEAM POWER
Prof. r. a. Jaeger, Government Vol
ca~noloeist, Relates How Heat of
Volcano Be Used Commercially

Kilauea, Island of Hawail.-@The
Harvesting Of Pele," a dream wherein
the fiery wrath and heat of the vol
cano goddess of the Hawaiians might
be diverted to commercial use, was re-
lated to the delegates of the Pan-Pa-
clfic congress here recently by Prof.
II. A. Jaeger, government volcanologist,
after the visitors had Inspected the
famous crater of Kilaueu and gazed at
the pit Of Halemamau or ''the house
of everlasting fire"
Professor Jaeger described the fable
In the home of Pele and detailed TO the
delegates the recent drilling into the
heart OF the volcanic mass.
Comparisons are now being made OF
these drillings, he said, In the hope of
discovering whether 1t is practicable to
attempt to turn Pele's steam TO the use
OF commercial industry.
Kilaueau, the delegates learned, Is
the largest and most easily accessible
active volcano In the world. 1t Is sit
'uated at an elevation of nearly 1000
feet above sea level. on the lower slope
of Mauna Loa, nearly eight miles In
circumference and 600 feet deep, 1t en-
closes an area OF 1850 acres, filled with
q solidified sea OF lava.

BOTTLInG PLANT FIRE
PERILS WHOLE BLOCK
Guests Move Out Of Annex Hotal n
Tenants Of Adjoining Property
Scurry as Flames Mount

Billings.-A spectacular fire of I'M
known origin Quilted the rear wooden
structure OF the Empire Distributing
| company's bottling works, 100 North
Twenty-sixth street, with an estimated
property damage OF from $1,000 TO
$4,000 and for a time threatened TO
sweep the entire business block on the
east side OF North Tw~enty-slxth.
The fire proved to be of particular
~tenacity and the department. even
after II was able TO throw streams OF
water from three hoses upon 1t battled
for n half hour before Ii was able to
reduce the flames materially. The fire
burned most intensely in the central
section of the building where the bot
thing is done, and according to Fire
Chief v. III. Steele. the presence Of
acids or gas may have had something
to do with its Intensity.
The fire at one time spread to the
roof of the building occupied by Con-
nelly Dairy company, but comparative
" little damage was done. Sam Con
nelly, who lives In an apartment over
the office, hastily vacated the building,
volunteers assisting in bringing down
heavy articles, while bedding was
thrown from the window. Many OF the
guests at the Annex hotel also brought
their belongings to the street.
While sending the water onto the
roof, Harry Chapman, who was direct
ing the hose from a ladder and sup
ported from behind by another fire
man. was overcome by the sudden
burst OF flame, which resulted from
the fire below, and nearly fell from the
roof, but was caught from behind and
sustained on the ladder.
A hasty examination of the building
was made after the fire had been ex-
tinguIshed, by Chief Steele and by III.
J.. Thompson, a director of the COM
pany. The engines and delicate and
expensive machinery in the front con-
crete portion of the building apparent
ly are little injured, Mr.. Thompson
believes, although the heat may ave
done some damage. The loss OF the
laboratory In the balcony portion Is
one of the most serious to the COM
pany The central portion Of the
building and It's contents are an al
most total loss. II is believed that the
fire started here. possibly In he Of
flee. Some Of the goods stored In the
rear of the building were not damaged.
