The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's order for priority railroad
shipments and emergency use Of roll
ing stock, particularly for coal move
rnent, does not mean any step taken
toward the termination Of the rail-
road strike. 1t does not mean help
ir the general operation of the rail-
roads. 1t does not mean fuller and
freer transportation service, either
freight or passenger, for the public.
On the contrary, unless the roads
are in shape to handle all the busi-
ress that is offered to them, on top
OF the priority business, 1t means
just the opposite.
The Commissions Intervention,
under the powers conferred on-T
by the national transportation act, is
en- emergency measure pure and sim
ple to make sure, should the worst
come to the worst, that at least the
public's food shall be hauled for 1t
and that there shall be hauled the
coal and other supplies that are es-
sential to the existence of the pub
hc and to the operation Of the utili-
ties on which the public is dependent
Tor it's heat, light and power. In
other words, the Interstate Commerce
Commission is taking precaution
that, come what may, the public
shall not starve, freeze, travel afoot
and grope in the dark.
But If the coal strike situation
does not clear up and If the railroad
strike situation does not improve,
the very precautionary measures put
into force by the Interstate Com
merce Commission will cause incon-
yenience, discomfort and loss to the
public in other directions. 1t will
hamstring numerous great industries
and cripple many more. 1t will hurt
all business and some 1t will kill.
This is not to say that the Inter-
state Commerce Commission order is
bad thing. Far from it; it is a
good thing aAd it is a necessary
thing. To wait, in case the coal
strike and the railroad strike should
go on indefinitely-to wait before
getting until the American people ac-
tually were starving, freezing and
cropping in the dark would be an eco
nomic folly and moral crime. To
insure now against the possibility Of
such a national calamity is forehand-
edncss and sense.
In the meantime, while the country
continues to be assured of its food
supply and of a sufficient fuel sup
rly to keep imperatively needed
wheels turning, the railroad strike
remains to be settled or to be de-
feated; the coal strike remains to
wear itself out or to be fought out.
Nothing in respect Of those situations
is changed. The public looks on In
no Immediate fear of hunger but
with no assurance that the strikes
are near the end.
That is exactly why the Interstate
Commerce Commissions order for
priority shipments has gone into
force-because those strikes still are
to be dealt with. In that new ship
ping program. therefore, is comfort
for the American public, but not. as
yet, sunshine.

The Coal Shipment Breakdown.

Secretary HOOVER objects 20 hav-
ing any Of the blame put upon his
Department for the sudden and rep
rehensible breakdown in moving coal
trains from the non-union mines. He
says the Department OF Commerce
has nothing to do with railways or
cars. OF course 1t has not. and mo-
body said 1t had.
What THE New York HERALD did
say was that when the Department
Of Commerce was moving heaven and
earth to get the soft coal supply ra-
toned and its price stabilized it would
lave been sensible thing for the
Department, along with other Gov
ernment agencies, to take live and
effective interest in seeing that there
were coal cars to get the coal away
from the mines so that there would
be an actuality to ration and sta
bilize.
But, at that, there was no special
reproach for the Department Of
Commerce. The reproach was on
all the railroads, on all the inter-
yeningN Government agencies and on
everybody concerned for an efficiency
default that was appalling.
Secretary HOOVER also says, and
this is more to the point, that the
cause of the utter collapse of ship
ments from the non-union mines
after they had worked their product
up to capacity suffcient to supply
two-thirds Of the present soft coal
needs of the country was not lack
of rolling stock but lack Of railroad
workers to handle the abundant coal
cars in good order. Then there is a
striking difference In the facts as
thus presented from the railroad
version Of the matter, other Gov
ernment statements on the trouble
and general reports on the situation.
And it might be a good idea to
have some teamwork among the va
rious Government agencies, the rail-
roads and all concerned In giving
out information and facts on strike
developments and conditions both at
the mines and on the railroads.
In any event, after the, absolutely
inexcusable collapse of the soft coal
shipments from the non-union mines
for whatever reason. the Interstate
Commerce Commission has now
taken in hand not only the matter
of rolling stock to transport the coal
but the need Of clearing the tracks
Of non-essential traffic in the way of
coal trains, the release of rail work
crs from dispensable haulage for
transfer to the indispensable coal
haulage, with other aids and i'm
provements in the direction of get
ting out the hundreds of thousands
Of tons of soft coal all ready and
waiting at the non-union mines to
60 to the consumers in such des-
perate need of it.
All this might have been done two
weeks ago, before, not after, the
breakdown at such a crucial moment,
and it might have meant vast
quantity of soft coal delivered in the
bins and storeyards of consumers
now instead Of banked up at tho
mines. But it wasn't done, and the
thing to see to now is that hence
forth the coal does move from the
mine, where it is of no use, to the
furnace and the boiler. where it is
necessary to the country's industrial
life.

Odds About Euen On Giants And Yankees For World Series Games
LOCAL FANS in
FAVOR YANKEES

Opinion among the baseball fans of
FL Centre seems to favor the New orK
Americans over the New York Nation
ais as the winner in the coming World
Series which will start at the Polo
Grounds in New York, tomorrow Most
of those favoring the, Hanks base tielr
opinions on the superiority Of their
pitching staff, while the Giant fans
contend that the speed and heavy pit
ting Of McGraw's s men will offset their
weakness in the pitcher S box and re
turn them a winner again this year.
The Yankee rooters believe Babe Ruth
will be a big factor in the series this
year, being determined to make up for
his poor showing last year, while the
Giant enthusiasts come back with the
claim that McGraw still has the Babe s
number and will succeed i'll making him
look like dub again this year. An
other argument Offered in behalf OF
Miller Higgins men is the remarkable
pitching of "Bullet joe Bush this
year, which added to the, ability Of
Mays, Shawkey and Hoyt, gives the
Yanks four first class men, enough III
their opinion to trim any team in a
short seven game series. The Giant
fans answer this advantage by pointing
to the ''Big Three of the Giants
leaders, McGraw, Jennings and Bur kett,
three of the keenest minds III baseball,
wise to all the tricks of the game,
and possessing the ability to drive the
players to almost superhuman effort.
This psychological factor is bound TO
be a big influence in the series III their
opinion and there is no DENYING the
fact that McGraw and his associates
can work miracles.
1T is commonly agreed that the series
will be {, hard fought one, the Giants
desiring to win the world s champion
ship two years in succession, and the
Yankees desiring ia bring the coveted
title with them when they open up
their new playing field i'll New York
next spring.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Enlarging the
scope of athletics among school boys
through the activities of various Public
Schools Athletic Leagues is generally
hailed as step in the right direction
to improve the physical condition of the
next generation.
Jimmy De Forest, one of America s
greatest trainers, who has conditioned
some of the most famous athletes of
the last decade, thinks it is very
grieveous mistake.
"Unless the games are scheduled un-
der the most expert supervision, more
harm than good is done 10 school boy
athletes" he says. "Any little fellow
with red blood hates to be beaten. He
will go into a sixty yard dash and un-
less he knows the proper form of sprint
ing he runs the risk of working per-
manent damage to his heart by putting
everything he has into the effort. -

YANKS' MANAGER
IS NOT POPULAR
WITH BALL FANS
Miller Higgins Greatest
Manager of Baseball
for Razzberry
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
UNITED Press Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.--Miller Hug
gins, the little pilot of the Yankees, IS
the greatest manager III baseball-for
getting the razzberry.
Higgins gave New York It's first
American League pcnnant last season
and he was greeted with complimentary
reminders that any sap of manager
could have won pcnnant with that
team.
He was rewarded this year with the
kind words that with all his pitchers
and star players he should have Won
the pennant by twelve or fifteen games.
If the Yankees manager allowed the
knocks to get under his skin, he would
be out of baseball, because he. has been
treated to nothing but criticism since
he took charge of a misfit team ana
built it up into II pcnnant winner.
Being of retiring disposition, Hug
gins never has appealed to the crowd
in New York, where the more bclliger-
ent type is favored He has always
gone his way quietly and it seems that
he has achieved enough in New York
to be recognized as good manager
Higgins was born in Cincinnati,
Ohio, March 27, 1880, and he got his
big league start with the Reds in 1908
after he had spent season in the Amer
lean Association with the ST. Paul
Club. He. played second base for the
Reds until 1910, when he was sold TO
st. Louis Cards. When Roger Bresna
han was relieved of the management,
Iluggins was named in his place in
1913. When Colonels Rupert and Hus
ton bought the Yankees, Ban Johnson,
president of the league recommended
Huggins for manager and he was trans
ferred out of the league.
The Yankee leader is regarded as a
smart baseball man--one of the smart
est in the business, but even his friends
admit that he does not rank with some
of the best managers in handling pitch
ers. He has had lot of misfortune
with his pitchers and he has displayed
II lot of bad misjudgment in handling
some of the prima donnas for which
the team is noted.

NEW YORK, Oct BIPARTISAN fans
who figured the Yankees were going

series are now wavering bit.
Odds on the American League cham
Mons have slipped down to TO and
some of the Giant supporters are get
ting even money.
Nothing particular has happened to
hurt the chances. of the Yankees or 10
bolster the Giants. The betting is mere
" reflecting the sentiment that no
team is worth big odds in seven game
series.
One Broad street firm reported o
large commission to wager on the
Giants, without the Yankee money in
sight. Many freak bets are being
made One bet of $3.50 TO $500 was
made that Babe Ruth win hit one homer
in the series. With all of the reserved
seats sold by both clubs and day to

fans TO do but talk of the chances of
both teams.

pitching staff through to victory. The

Many mistakes are made in the train.
ing of boxers, according to De Forest,
Zone of the most common errors
has to do with roadwork,' he says.
Many trainers recommend a run OF
four or five miles on the road to de.
velop the wind and strengthen the legs.
No one should ever do more than three
miles and il should be done by mixing
a fast sprint with brisk walk of the
same distance in alteration.
GA boxer doing road work should
sprint hard for the distance of three
poles and then settle down to n brisk
walk for the next three poles and then
strike into another sprint. In this man
ner the heart is not overtaxed and at
the end of three miles, the athlete will
return refreshed instead of exhausted.
Another great mistake is made in
putting boys into training before they
