WOMEN NOW WORK |CHICK GANDIL AND RED FABER BIG FACTORS IN WINNING DECIDING GAME IN SERIES FOR WORLD’S CHAMPIONSHIP AS SUBWAY GUARDS New York Rapid Transit Placed Ten in Training on Fourth Ave. New York, Oct. 20.—Ten women Yesterday began to take instruction in the work of subway guards on the 'Fourth Avenue line of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit lines in Brooklyn, and will take the places of men during ‘the rush hours soon. As more men leave to enter military service the women will be employed steadily and their numbers will be increased. They Wwhll receive the pay of the men, which is 'about 25 cents an hour. ‘Women are already employed as cashiers and ticket takers on all the lines of the B. R. T., and when the need for more guards was not filled from the applications sent in by men, ten women were selected from the cashiers’ waiting list to begin work as guards. A special car was sent over the line several times yesterday 50 that the women could learn the stations. Some timidity was shown by the new guards at first when they had to shout the names of the sta- tions loudly and keep repeating “Watch your step.” All the doors of the cars to be given to the new guards are operated by air pressure, and it is necessary only to touch buttons to open and close them. The closing of the doors gives the signal to the motorman, and the women do not have to pull bell cords. John J. Dempsey, superin- tendent of transportation for the B. R. T. said that the new guards would be able to work after instruction of about a week. They will travel in the trains for several days, observing the ;work of the men guards. The uniforms of the new guards will be similar to those worn by the men. They will also wear caps with gold lettering on the front. The Chicago White Sox are cham- pions of the world, wirning the de- ciding game from the New York Giants by the score of 4 to 2. The game was won and lost in the fourth inning. Eddie Collins, the, first man up, reaching second base when Heinie Zimmerman threw his slow roller over Holke's head. Jackson’s short fly was muffed by Robertson and Col- lins raced to third. Hap Felsch tap- ped a grounder to Benton and Col- lins was caught off third. Zimmer- man instead of throwing to Rariden started to chase Collins, with the re- sult that the runner was safe. With Jackson on third and Felsch on sec- ond, Chick Gandil cracked out a safe- ty to right and Jackson and Felsch scored. Red Faber pitched sterling ball in all but one inning, {he fifth, when the Giants scored two runs. The photograph shows Felsch scor- ing the winning run, with Chick Gan- dil in the insert.

Laurel, Oct. 20.—Colonel Matt Winn, manager of the Laurel race- track, stated that beginning yesterday he would dd an extra $100 to each overnight purse and instead of the winner receiving the cash he would be given the amount in Liberty bonds. is will amount to $500 or $600 each day and between $8,000 and $9,000 for the remainder of the meet. By staking a Liberty bond race daily since Monday, Octaber 8, the horse- men have purchased $4,100 worth of bonds.

This contest probably will attract more than ten thousand persons to Laurel, and many may show themselves to be full of patriotism. The individual purchasers of bonds have turned over $10,500, Mrs. Sam Hildreth being the largest contributor with $7,000. George Odom took out a $1,000 bond. : The Liberty bond speaker for Thursday afternoon will be Lieuten- ant Mayes, judge advocate, 79th Divi- sion, Camp Meade.

TRANSFERRED TO FORT OGLETHORPE j s TIECHEIENIIIN) AR RVE RN country, and many of them ~ GOAL HOARDING NOW UNDER BAN Garliod May Onder Sarch of Coal Bins in Factories Washington, Oct. 20.—In connec- | tion with a statement issued yester- ‘7 day, in whch he said that the coal sit- 1uB.UDn throughout the country was | improving, Dr. H. A. Garfleld, the | fuel administrator, let it be known ! that drastic action will be taken ' against hoarders of supplies. Dr. Gar- fleld said that he had conferred with. Attorney General Gregory regarding his powers under the Food: Control law, and the action which he was authorized to take in any emergency. | He would not discuss that phase of the matter in detail, but it is said that he was told his powers were adequate and unquestioned. The situation in New York City, where a shortage has been reported, | may be one of the first taken in hand. Dr. Garfield said today that New York had received 13,912,384 tons of coal | this year, as compared to 12,666,660 in 1916, and that if any one was hoarding coal there he was deter- mined to find out about it and distri- bute the surplus among needy con- sumers. This means that the fuel adminis- tration may search the storage bins | of apartment houses, light, power, | and manufacturing plants in the me- | tropolitan field. Large dealers also may come under the inspection, if there is any reason to believe that hoarding is going on. If 1,000,000 tons or more of surplus coal is hid- den in New York or in any other great center of population there is every likelihood that the government will seize it should conditions warrant. Conservation also may be ordered in New York and other cities, al- though there has been no ruling as yet as to the fate of the great electric light signs that have made the “White ‘Way” famous. It is possible that these may be ordered discontinued for a time, but the advisability of such a course is still debatable. In discussing the coal situation to- day Dr. Garfleld referred to it as *“un- balanced” rather than critical. Pros duction has not fallen off to an ex- tent thought alarming and the indi« cations seemed to point to an in- crease from this time rather than a decrease. His statement reads: “Offi¢ers 'of the United Mine Worlk- ers in Indiana, Illinois and elsewhere are doing everything in their power to induce men who are striking to re- turn to work, and indications are that they will be succassful.” Complaints that there was a serious shortage in several large cities, New York included, were heard at the of- fices of the Fuel Administration to- day. Dr. Garfleld stated that com- plaints about a shortage in New York City should be made to Albert Ii. ‘Wiggin, the State Fuel Administrator, and that in all legitimate cases im- mediate relief would be given. To facilitate the movement of coal for emergency orders, Dr. Garfield di- reoted that mines supplying the Be#iti- meme & Ohio railroad see to it that a Uatwclent supply was provided to pre- ek cengestion. A similar order is in effeg: gn connection with the Pennsyl- vani® Mnes and other roads will soon he considered. Dr. Garfield spent practically all of his time today considering the ques- tlon of granting an increase over the schedule of President Wilson for coal at the mines, in order to make pos- aible the payment of higher wages to the miners. His decision will be reached not later than the first of next week. The Shipping Board has joined with the Fuel Administration in an effort to relieve the conditions in the New England States. It issued an order to owners of steamers requisitioned by the board and operated in the New England coal trade, which it was said would radically reduce as well as con- trol rates and facilitate deliveries. | | l FITZ FIGHTS HARD.
