this fight I made Greb stand up
straighter, shoot his punches
straightcr and FIGHT CLEAN.
Greb likes to rough it hut he is a
better fighter when he does not ig-
more the rules"
Gibbons Had Greb Out On His Feet
Engle says Gibbons had Greb out
or his feet in the second round but
was fooled by Greb's acting. Glib
bons got home a terrific left hook
and it shook Greb to the toes. In
stead of going into clinch or back
ing away Greb began to dance up
and down and smile.
Gibbons stood still to enjoy the
spectacle. 1t cost him the fight.
Greb's bean soon cleared and thep
he came on to give the st. Paul harp
one Of the worst whippings he ever
got.
Greb has always wanted to meet
Dempsey, and many experts believe
it would be real fight. Greb never
had any trouble against big fellows.
He beat Miske, Madden, Levinsky,
Roper, Weinert, Norfolk, Gunboat
Smith and Gene Tunney. Firpo
could not knock out Homer Smith.
Greb did it with his LEFT SWING.

world series. His timely hitting
kept the Mats in the running.
"Goslins great work in the world
series is going to make him a much
better ball player next season. He
needed just such a thing to properly
set him.
He will do his work with a con-
fidence that has been lacking in his
previous efforts. Having delivered
in basebalPs big event will supply
it.
AT one time Goslin's fielding was
handicap but he was greatly i'm
proved in this respect. A couple of
great catches in the series will tend
to help his showing in that depart
mcnt Of play, also.
Unless l am greatly mistaken,
Goslin is going to be troublesome
guy to American League pitchers
next summer
1t will be recalled that Goslin,
away to an ordinary start in the big
series, was advised by Ruth to make
Il change in his stance and inlme-
diatcly started to hit.

Very likely Nurmi has never run

"Nurmi, however, finished without

Who'll beat Nurmi in this coun-

that he is used to indoor running

Famous Catchers Slip
Each Other Large
GObs of Praise

Who is the best catcher in the Am
erican League?
Ray Schalk, wonder backstop Of
the Chicago White Sox, who has
passed the peak of his game, says
that honor belongs to Muddy Ruel.
"Ruel is fine receiver, uses good
judgment in handling his pitchers,
keeps the opposing runners on edge
by throwing balls around and is a
dangerous batter if not a great
one" says Schalk.
"'Nice of Schalk to say those kind
words" replies Ruel, "but no mat
ter how good Schalk thinks / am,
will never reach the catching stand
ard that he has set for the majors"
That makes it all even between
the two great catchers in the bou-
quet league.

ACCIDENTS CUT COAL
PRODUCTION HEAVILY
Result in Loss of Sixty Tons for
Each Injured Man-Cost to
operators $3s,oo0,000.

Every mine accident entailing tenn
porary disability or stoppage of work
means loss of production of about
sixty tons Of coal, the Interior De-
partment announced today. Non-fa-
tai injuries In coal mines in the
United States number about 100000
each year and represent a total coal
tonnage loss Of about S39,00O.000, each
accident Of this nature resulting in a
time loss to the worker of fifteen
days. With the daily output of coal
per man figured at four tons and with
coal valued at 1925 per ton at the
mine, the average value of lost ton
mage for each accident entailing tenn
porary disability is $19b.
These conclusions were drawn from
reports furnished the bureau of
mines during 1923 by operators Of
200 coal mines, who have co-operated
mine accidents by furnishing sepa-
rate report of each accident disabling
an employe for more than the re-
maincer of the shift. A study Of
5000 coal mine accidents was made.
About per cent Of coal mine ac-
cidentS result fatally. the bureau
found Deaths, permanent total disa-
bilities. and permanent partial disa-
bilitieS constitute less than 5 per cent
of all mine accidents, while disabili-
ties of temporary nature account
for S5 per cent Of mine accidents.
