EMF LOYMENT IN
STATE IMPROVES,
BUREAU REPORTS
Situation Better Than Four
Months Ago, Except
for Miners,

Except for conditions in the coal
fields the industrial employment stu
alton in Indiana is better than it
has been for the last four months,
according to the United States en-
ployment service of the Department
of Labor today, says Times Wash
ington bureau dispatch.
In the coal fields of the State,
however. many miners were out of
employment, "a were thousands of
men in the bituminous coal mining
industry throughout the country.
In fact, the situation in this in
dustry is becoming so acute that the
employment service today issued an
appeal to road-buIding contractors
! and other employers needing labor to
make known their needs for help by
1 telegram or letter to Washington.
Miners Need Job
In Indiana the service reports that
it has been extremely difficult to find
places for the miner in other occu-
pations until the coal mining picks
up again in the fall.
The steel industry is starting to
show gains in production and in the
Calumet district especially many ex7
tensions and additions to plants are
being planned.
There is a steady demand for farm
help as crops requiring considerable
additional labor are now being har-
vested.
The Improvement shown during
the past four months in the general
industrial employment should show
further improvement by Sept. l, &C
cording to the Labor Department.
Surplus Shown Here
In Indianapolis the service says
there is a surplus of workers in
some lines of manufacture, especial
" the automobile, machinery and
foundry.
Most all plants, however. are being
operated even though on curtailed
schedules.
Building in Indianapolis showed
some signs of slackening during the
first of July, but is starting to i'm
prove.
On the outskirts of the city a good
demand for farm labor is reported.
At Evansville a large surplus OF
furniture workers was reported.
Building and road construction is
very active at this city, and much
skilled and common labor is finding
employment in this activity.

<kDOONE is a really great
hitter" says Connie Mack,
who has had a few peeks
at the Boston club in action this
season. "He reminds me some
what of Larry Lajoie. He is the
same dangerous hitter when the
pitcher thinks he will waste one.
Boone hits 'em, no matter where
they are. He probably won't hit
for 800 in this league. He may
not even reach 400. But he
should be well up above 800. He
is really a great hitter"
"Ill admit Boone can hit" says
Ed Rommel, Connie Mack's lead
ing finger. 81 gave him all my
stuff without bothering him in the
least. He landed on my fast one,
my knuckle ball, and even E1y
priced pet, the butterfly ball."
Joe Bush, the Yankees veteran
speed merchant, had some trouble
with this same Boone during the
opening series in Boston, and then
came to his home here filed with
woe. He admitted to all and sun
dry that "this here Boone is a
killer with a bat"
Ike Boone began pounding the
pellet at San Antonio this spring
and is still doing it, leading the
American League. Just how long
he will continue, none can tell for
certain, but those who know him say
he will dispute the leadership with
Cobb or Sisler or Heilmann with
out wasting much sleep over it.
So McGraw Lost Him.
rOHN McGRAW had first
. whack at Ike Boone. He
- looked him over and then
sent him to New Orleans where
the slugger proceeded to slam
everything high and far away. A
year later he looked him over
again and left him in San An
tonic as ground rent. Three
times McGraw watched Boone and
then decided that, although he
could hit, he was too slow for
the majors and cut him adrift.
That was a year ago.
In 1923, with San Antonio in
the Texas League, Boone won
the championship with an average
of 400. He collected ,241 hits
for a total of 391 bases in. 148
games. Harry Heilmann, the
American League champion, col
lected 211 hits for a total Of 331
bases in 144 games. Thus you
may have a basis for a COMPARE

The best way to decide who would
be razzed more is for us to have q
series Of three contests. First we
could both get out in front Of a big
crowd on his home field, and stand
there, take off our caps and collect
the berries. Then we could go over
to the Yankee ball park and do the
same thing. If necessary we could

a minor league and let one Of those
crowds have q shot at us.

others strike out. Maybe It's be-
cause we're supposed to have the
cage on the pitcher. It's question
OF that old under-dog business.
But outside Of this there's another
reason. The fans seem to think
tnat when they buy q ticket to a

10 ne competed TO quit the Wnlre
9ox was keen disappointment to
Chance. He wanted to manage the
club. He believed that he could
accomplish great things with it,
perhaps build it into a machine
such as he had in the old days
when winning remnants was a habit
with the Chicago Cubs.
1t was a big disappointment to
Charles Comiskey. It was big
disappointment to Chicago fans.
Comiskey had placed great conf.
dence in Chances ability to build
up a pennant winner on the South
Side. So did Chicago. But Comis.
key and Chicago are both to be
congratulated on the fact that they
have such a capable man already
on the job as Johnny Evers.
Evers possesses one Of the
greatest baseball brains the sport
has ever known. He was great
player-One of the greatest-and
. great field general. He win fol-
low out the policies that Chance
had intended to follow. Those
policies should carry the White
SOx far in the race.
vi COuISC1 LlNSIS HAS OSS1I JI10 &c
tive head of the Sox ever since the
team went into spring training. He
has done much. But now that he
has been given full power to act
he should accomplish more. Here
tofore his hands have been tied.
Chance was the big boss and some
Of the players were inclined to
doubt Evers' power. That situa-
ton has passed. Now Evers is the
big boss. What he says will go or
ne will find out why.
.Evers has long wanted another
Hing at managing big league ball
club. This ambition has been re.
allied, but he regrets the manner
In which it was achieved. He would
have liked to have had Chance re.
main at the helm; to have worked
under Frank.
AS he was leaving, Chance as.
serted that he hoped to return to
the club before the end OF the
season. That he will do so is ex.
tremely doubtful. It is extremely
doubtful that he would take any
more chances with the climate here.
So Evers will do the driving.
The elevation to power did
not come Unexpectedly to Evers.
He has known that Chance was a
much sicker man than was known
generally. Johnny knew that
even if Chance remained as man.
ager he would have to be the
active head for some VHme to come.
That knowledge forced Evers to
prepare himself. He does not step
into the job "cold." He has laid
his plans. Now he will begin to
put them into execution. He knows
what strength the club possesses
and how far that strength is hlxley
to get the White Sox in the race
this season. In short, the fact that
he was compelled to be boss while
in the South will stand him in good
stead now.
"It is a good ball club" said
Evers. "The players have ability
and they are willing. Willingness
counts almost as much as ability.
] know that they will be on their
toes all the time and that they win
be fighting. With that spirit pre-.
vailing we ought to be in the thick
