The bituminous branch of the coal
industry, on which the United
States Coal Commission is to report
in the autumn, has meanwhile taken
definite steps along the line of self
organization to serve the public in
emergencies.
John C. Brydon, who as chairman
Of the special committee appointed
to cooperate with the Presidents
commission has been in close touch
with the internal affairs of the in
dustry and with outside reactions,
was unanimously elected president
of the National Coal Association at
that body's convention during the
latter part Of June.
Mr.. Brydon has advanced a plan
for "minute man" organization Of
the 5000 Independent bituminous
operators, making the entire soft
coal supply of the nation instantly
available in any crisis of peace or
war. His suggestions, requiring
only an enabling act of Congress to
empower the President to declare an
emergency and draft coal resources,
were formulated in advance of sim
liar recommendations by the coal
commission, affecting the anthra-
cite branch of the industry.
"a committee from this body"
Mr.. Brydon told the men who elect
ed him their leader, SHOULD consult

BY HENRY FARRELL
United Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK. Jan. 1O.-Showing a
lot Of fight. the minor baseball leagues
rose UP today and openly defied the
big fellows of the majors. It's all
about more Of the old draft quar-
rellins.
The minor leagues want 10 sell their
players on the open market and the
generous major league club owners
want to get them for next to nothing.
The latest move Of the majors.
which the little fellows assert is a
direct violation Of agreement, was to
decide that no players would be sent
10 the smaller leagues unless they
could be brought back to the big time
by draft.
The Pacific Coast League, the
American Association and the Inter
national League. the ranking leaders
Of the forces opposed TO the draft,
took an emphatic stand today and de
clared that they win have nothing to
do with the big fellows.

American Association, said no club in
his circuit would he permitted to take
players from the big leagues hereafter
If the majors demand the PLAYERS be
subject to draft.

short period of five days. Wabash

last Friday, De Paw was defeated
on Saturday and Wabash on Tuesday.
1t is one Of the finest sport achieve
ments Hoosierdom has ever witnessed.
Such n feat places Franklin up at the
top among the college quintets of In
diana.
The Wabash game like those which
have gone before was a furious
struggle with the issue not decided
until the final minutes. Burl Friddle
the back guard, was the hero of the
contest. With the score tied at 10

the big guard came down the floor
and dropped IN two long shots.
All Of the three victories have been
close and Franklin has come to the
challenged by the loser In the final
period Butler came within one point
Of tying the score and the Baptists
pulled away. De Pauw did the same
thing and the Wagnermen won out by
six points The Wabash story has

WABASH OMARS
BIC CONTEST Of
LARGE EVENING
Manual High Takes on Frank
lin and Shortridge Meets
EIWo0d.

As the capital of the basket-ba
State, Indianapolis is stepping out in
the net sport to such an extent that
most any kind of a game the fans
want is on tap over the week end It's
q big basketball night next Saturday
I'm this city. It depends on where your
sympathies are Just what you con-
slider the most important game.
From an unbiased viewpoint, the
Wabash and Omar contest is the fea-
ture event Of the night. 1t is one of
those battles that pack TOmlinson
Hall. Although Wabash was defeated
by Franklin, that fact does not detract
from the coming game TO great eX-
tent. because the Baptists do not seem
to be sparinc any one in their
meteoric dash across the HoOsier bas-
ket-baI armament. Any time that
Goldsber7y. Crater and Adam step out
on the court around here there's going
to be lots of spectators looking on.
Besides this game there are two high
school games. Manual plays Frank
lin at the south side gym and Short
ridge tackles Elwood at the north
side floor Both are real feature con-
tests. Franklin, although not going
as well this season as usual. is always
a big attraction. Elwood is a new
dark horse among the State net as
pirants and comes TO Indianapolis with
an unbrolzeu string of victories
If YOU don't like these contests, the
Indiana Law School meets the y. A.
G. U. at the Athenaeum. And If YOU
are a follower Of the independent has
ket-baH games, there are any number
of such Tits you can find going on in
all parts Of the city. Take your
choice. There is a great assortment.
