PAN|CKY BUYING
PER|LS COAL
SITUATION
Favored Customers Stocking
Up With Anthracite increases
Expected Shortages:
By TOM EVERETT.
Cosmopolitan News Service.

The "nigger in the wood pile" at
the present time in the anthracite
coal situation, to use the expression
or an expert. who is studying the
conditions for the United States
Government. is that the retail deal
ers in the misunderstanding section,
of the country are not equitably dis
tributing the supplies Of COAL they
are receiving from the mines. That
is to say, they are selling to favor
ed customers who are in a panicky
state of mind and who are buying
more than the usual amounts.
1t was pointed out that, while all
the anthracite coal that is being
mined is being shipped from the
mines, those customers who have
ready cash or good credit are get
ting the bulk Of this years proouc-
ton up to the present. It was also
made plain that the natural result
OF this will be great suffering and
hardship when winter sets in among
those who are not able to stock up
during the summed, because wheth-
er there is a strike on September
or not, there will be q serious short
age Of anthracite.
Government agencies furnish fig
ures which show that there will be
shortage of approximately $1,000
600 tons OF anthracite coal on Jan
uary 1, 1924, if there is no strike
and production continues at its pres
emit rate.
If production Of approximately
100000 gross tons per week can
be maintained until January !, 1924,
there will have been mined and
shipped 62,400,000 nets tons, from
which must be deducted that mined
and used in January. February, and
March, 1923, 15,600,O00 net tons,
and that exported to Canada dur
ing that year, 5,040, 900 tons, which
leaves 41,760,000 net tons produc-
ton which cannot meet the nine
months demand Of $4,000, 900 tons,
by approximately 100000 tons,
which will be the amount Of the
January /, 1924, shortage.
However. 1t was pointed out, If
the strike does not take place on
September /, and it shall be widely
known. the abnormal summer de-
mand will cease, because panicky
buying by the favored class will
slow UP, thus causing retail stocks
to mount sufficiently to meet other
demands. But, in any event, it was
observed by one Of the experts, those
who have been favored in de-
liveries by retailers will have amply
protected themselves, leaving the

GRIFFS FINALLY
WIN ON DUNN
FIELD
For the First Time This Season
Bush's Cohorts Cop
In Cleveland.
By FRANCIS j. POWERS.

CLEVELAND, July Fl. The
Griffmen have finally succeeded in
winning a game at Dunn Field.
Until yesterday, when they over
whelmed the Indians, IL to 5, they
had not achieved this and the victory
has filled the boys with ambition.
They now believe it possible to win
another today and will go out with
that intention.
JeZebel Tecumseh Zachary, the
veteran southpaw, did not have TO
work hard after his team drove Uhlc
to the showers in the fourth and
the Indians collected an even dozen
bingles, equaling the Griffs in that
respect. Zachary might not Lave
gone the route but for a second
barrage netting his team seven runs
in the eighth.
Nothing happened during the first
three frames, Uhle and Zachary stag
ing a pretty duel. Then the earth
opened and swallowed the Indians.
Rice walked, Charity doubled, Ruel
singled, scoring Rice. Peck's rap to
right scored Charity. Hargrave's
single filled the bases and while he
y
counted. Uhle's wild heave scored
Peck and Zachary went IN on an
error by Joe Sewell.
Those five runs were enuogh to
win, but just for good measure the
visitors slammed Daniel Boone hard
in the eighth and scored seven more
on Rice's home run to the center
field flag pole, a triple by Zachary,
Bluege's double, two singles and a
couple of errors.
In the fifth Steve O'Neill and
Boone opened with singles and both
scored when Speaker lifted the bail
over the rightfield fence, his second
circuit smash in as many days.
When Zachary easedfup in the ninth,
the Indians counted twice more be-
fore being retired on the short end
for the day.
DOME Bush, who is still under
suspension, sent Hargrave, his red
headed catcher, to third base and
Bluege to second for yesterdays
game. Jimmy O'Neill was benched,
though his work in the two previous
games here was brilliant to an ex-
IRENE. Hargrave handled his two
chances in the field neatly enough
and got one hit in five times up.

ROUSH CAN USE
EITHER RIGHT
DR. LEFT
Ed Managed to Give Both of
His Arms a Good
Eduncation.

An interesting fact concerning
Ed Roush is mentioned now and
again, but is well worth dragging
out once more for it's interest.
Roush is one of the few bali players
in the big leagues who can throw
with either hand. Roush uses his
left exclusively now, but he feels
that il an emergency ever arose he
would be able to turn to the other
side and keep in the game.
II was a left-hander by nature, :"
he says, "but I guess there must
have been a famine in right-handed
gloves when I was a kid, for some
how 1 managed to give both my
arms an impartial education in
throwing. ! remember using the
opposite arm many times when one
member grew sore from too much
exercise. Sometimes 1t proved quite
a convenience
"But I gradually gravitated back
to using the left arm, and now 1
throw almost exclusively with it.
But still have the power to shoot
them in with my right"
