PLENTY OF COAL IN Topeka
No Danger of Shortage This Winter,
Harry Silk Says.

Harry Silk. a local coal dealer who
was in Kansas City, Thursday while
the meeting of the Southwestern Oper-
ators' association was in session, said
today that the mine owners are now
producing enough coal to satisfy all
demands. The only danger of a coal
shortage this winter, would result from
poor transportation facilities due to
the rail strike, is the belief of the
operators.
Mr.. Silk does not believe that To-
p1ka is in danger of a coal shortage
this winter. We are SO near mining
centers that it will be comparatively
easy to get the coal here" he said.
According to Mr.. Silk, the miners pre-
dict a drop in the price OF steam coal,
due to the oil fuel competition.

Among the best of these are G. K. Murray of the champion Yankees, Herman Pil- lette and Sylvester Johnson of De troit, Hubert Pruett, St. Louis; Phil Bedgood and G. D. Meteveir, CIeve- land: c. c.

Washington, Dec. - One of the chief reasons for the failure of the Washington team to make a better showing in the American League last season was the fail IIre of Catcher Eddie Charity to play his usual brilliant game.

Recently he un- derweBt an operation for his ton sils which the doctors claim will eliminate the neuPitiS and restore the arm to oId-ti.nc form.
