Major League
Comment

By United Press
Chicago went into a three and
ene-half game lead in the National
League, the Cards gained second
place and the Pirates dropped to
third place by virtue of defeat of
the latter Friday by Boston, 6 to 4.
Cincinnati's two-run. rally in the
ninth was insufficient and Brooklyn
won. 4 to 3. The Dodgers outhit
the Reds. but the latter's defeat
was partly due to poor fielding.
The Cubs and Cards advanced
in the league standing without play
ing.
The Yankees rallied late to take
the third and final game Of their
series with the pennant-aspiring
Tigers, to 6. With Detroit lead
ing by three runs at the beginning
of the seventh, the Yanks scored
four and although the Tigers tied in
their half of the inning. two Yankee
runs in the eighth decided the game.
Ruth's triple in the seventh with
bases full was deciding factor.
, Cleveland made ten hits off Lisen-
bee and Braxton in the first two
innings to win from Washington,
8 to z. Shaute was shaky through
out the game and it was necessary
for Uhle 70 relieve him in the ninth
and cut Washington off with two
runs to save the game
Sam Gray limited the Browns to
five hits and the Athletics shut out
st. Louis, 7 to 0. Four errors by the
Browns made the score larger than
it should have been.
A home run b. Shaner in the
second inning saved the Red Sox
from a shUtout as the White Sox
got 10 hits to win to 1. The homer
was one Of three hits Tommy
Thomas allowed.

Notes, Gossip
of Golfers
BY DICK MILLER

Members of the Indianapolis
Country Club, Meridian Hills and
Broadmoor Clubs were bes.eged
with calls today from acquaintance
who never before had expressed
such interest in getting on friendly
terms. No better reason can be ex-
pressed than that next Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday the In
dianapolis District Golf Association
will play its city championship tour
nament over the three courses
named above.
And another explanation that
clears everything up is that one of
the latest bulletins states that prac-
tice over the courses is not allowed.
About the only way 6. little tuning
up can be accomplished is to play as
a guest of some member.

That
know


Bush, pilot of the Pittsburgh Pr
ates, has to say:
1.-The Cubs have a real ball club.
Any one who says the team is lack
ing in stars is just trying to kid
himself as we'll as his listeners, pro-
vided he has any.
IT would call 'Gabby' Hartnett
one of the best catchers in the
league. Hal Carlson and Charley
Root are two of the best pitchers in
the majors. The outfield of Webb,
Wilson and Stephenson may not be
the most graceful trio in the game,
but they go get 'em, and how they
can hit. Take it, from me, Mr..
Grimm is quite a first sacker and
this young English, at shortstop, has
the markings of a real star"
If you are willing to take Ownie
Bush's word, and he knows his
baseball, the Chicago Cubs haven't
one, but, on the contrary, about
six stars,

ART FLETCHER KNOWS

MOTHER angle to the Cubs,
IA unquestionably an interest
LII ing team because of its in
sistence in hanging on as a pennant
contender after not being consid-
cred in the running, came to me
from Art Fletcher.
In his playing days, Fletcher was
one of the best shortstops in the
National League. He starred with
winning clubs at New York,
Fletcher was capable, aggressive
and game. 2
When his days of stardom came
to an end, Fletcher decided to take
a whirl at managing. He got his
chance at Philadelphia in the Ma
tional, if it could be considered as
such. Most people insist that man
aging the Phillies during the last
seven or eight years has simply
been a minor league berth.
Trying to play big league ball,
with lineup of mostly minor
league players, was too much for
Z Fletcher and he passed up the job
to act as one of the New York
Yankee coaches under Miller Hug
gins.

Emancipation Proclamation
Celebration
Under Auspices Of Junior n. 4. A. {. P.

The most tangible demonstration
Of true devotion of patriotic love of
San Francisco's Aframerican youth
came to light on Saturday, Jan. /,
when in the auditorium of the Third
Baptist church the great celebration
Of the declaration of freedom from
the cruel bands Of slavery presented
a beautiful programme which began
promptly at $50, and closed at 9: 80
Miss Tabitha Anderson is worthy
Of much praise for its success. Miss
Josephine Foreman was responsible
for the efficient speaker of the eve-
ming, Geo. johnson, law student
at the u. c., whose rendition oi the
subject, the emancipation proclama-
ton, was unparalleled. Mr.. John
son was introduced by Miss Eunice
Moore, a student OF the Commercial
high school. The programme was
interesting and well rendered.

COOLIDGE T0PROBE
MINE PARLEY PLAN
President Promises Union
Officials He Will Consider
Calling Conference.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Coolidge today promised
delegation of coal miners that he
would confer with Secretary Davis
of the Labor Department to determine
whether he could call a conference of
miners and operators to settle their
disputes in Pennsylvania. Ohio and
West Virginia
After the coal miners had left the
President, an explana ton was issued
at the White House saying that Mr..
Coolidge had not committed himself
to the calling Of a conference and that
he felt that unless both miners and
operators desired the conference there
would be little reason for calling one.
1t was also made plain that while
Mr.. Coolidge was interested in the
charge that certain large carriers
were depressing coal prices, it was not
in his province to act and that he had
recommended that the miners take up
the question with the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
I'VE were particularly interested
William Green, president of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor. said, in
telling Mr.. Coolidge of what we con-
slider the abusive use of Federal and
State injunctions, particularly that
one which was issued in Pennsylvania
recently restraining striking miners
from talking with miners at work, pre-
venting them from bringing food to
non.working miners and even went
so far as TO prevent the holding of re-
ligious services in q church.
THE alleged effort to beat down the
price Of soft coal is based we believe,
on an effort to destroy the mining
union"
The Labor Federation president de-
clared that Mr.. Coolidge had received
their plea with great interest.
Elaborating on Green's charge that
large carriers were depressing coal
prices, President Lewis of the Miners
Union said that the Pennsylvania
New York Central and Baltimore &
Ohio roads were the chief offenders
by having crystallized their purchas'
ing power.
