Every once i'm while talk against
| the gridiron sport is revived, such
as was noted last Fall, but it seems
that whenever q thinking group of
men get together they find something
in foot ball fundamentally worth
while. At any rate. it seems that
very few persons who take an active
interest in building up community
life and civic pride, in developing eX-
amples of self-discipline and co-opera
ton, think that foot ball is anything
other than a valuable adjunct, not
only to the colleges, but to the pub
lie as well.
Washington and Lee University
evened up with Maryland yesterday
in the series of two base ball games.
Both teams tried to score enough
runs to last q week. the final count
being 9 to 8. The contest was rather
poorly played, both teams making er-
rors and doing some very unworthy
base running.
I Incidentally, the game brought out
that base ball is not especially pop
ular in the colleges except in a few
places. Dick Smith. coach of the
Washington and Lee nine, said during
the progress of the contest that:
well. by the looks of those stands
we ought to feel pretty much at
home. Our students don't come 10
see the games either" And ii was
a fact that out of q thousand or SO
students a. !-,lege Park probably
not more than 100 were in the stands
at yesterdays game.
And no wonder many of those who
are connected with college sports
seriously consider whether or not it
is worth while to carry on a paStime
that even the students do not care to
watch.

The first baseman goes toward
home for a bunt, the third baseman
does the same, leaving the second
baseman to cover first and the
shortstop to cover second.
If the ball is bunted it then is up
to the first baseman, the pitcher or
the third baseman to field it. If the
pitcher fields the ball the first base
man may get back to his base, pro
viding he has seen in time that the
pitcher will get the ball. But the
first baseman should remember that
his first duty on such a play is to
field the bunt, or be ready to. The
second baseman has been temporarily
assigned to first and is responsible
for that bag.
The catcher should field short
bunts and if possible call the play
at second to retire the runner going
from first.

HOUSE COAL STUDY
WILL Be RESUMED
Representative JaCobstein
Again to Tell of His Plan
for Lasting Peace.

Determined to go to the bottom in
its sweeping inquiry into the coal sit
uation, with the ultimate purpose of
enaCting legislation to stabilize the
coal industry, the House committee on
interstate and foreign commerce will
resume its coal hearing tomorrow
morning at 10 O'Clock. Representative
Meyer Jacobstein, Democrat. of New
York, sole witness before the commit
tee for the last three days of the hear
ing, which adjourned Friday until to-
morrow, will resume the stand to com
plete his testimony. Representative
Allen T. Treadway of Massachusetts
made the opening statement before the
committe last Monday.
Mr. Jacobstein has proposed sus-
pension of the antitrust laws for the
benefit of the coal industry, declara-
tion that the industry should be de-
clared a public utility, and, as such,
should be supervised by a Government
bureau, and has urged that the Presi-
dent be given power to take over the
mines in the event of q national emer.
gency and turn them over to compe-
tent operators to insure continued pro
duction.
The committee resumes hearings
tomorrow with the prospect that they
VIII continue until adjournment OF
the House. expected about May Is
While members are not confident that
legislation can be whipped into shape
for passage at the present session of
Congress, theX hope the present hear
ings will so clarity the situation that
a comprehensive measure embodying
many of the points recommended by
the United States Coal Commission
can be passed early in the next seS
sion President Coolidge. in his an
nual message to Congress last De
cember, recommended legislation for
the coal industry based on the find
ings of the commission, and it was
recently said he expected legislation
at this session.
Nh Jacobsten has warned the
committee that even now talk OF a
strike in the bitumnous fields Is
being heard. He predicted dlsas'
trous shutdown of bituminous mines
on March 81. 1927. when the present
agreement expires. unless Congress
takes some steps to provide an ave
nue. of progressive and constant
mediation.
Mr.. JacobStein warned the commit
tee that merely hopeful attitude
toward peace in the coal industry
would not do: that Congress has the
kew to the situation in its own hands
and should leSislate in order TO IN
sure continued peace.

purpose of soliciting funds. In re-
cent years. through pressure, Con-
Gress has changed its policy and
created a very few such incorpora =
tions, notably the American Legion.
He insisted that to approve the bill
under consideration would establish
an extremely bad precedent.
