Yale's holiday basket-ball tour appears to be formal and normal. Just a In other jears. If the Yale Bowl were available for the proposed Red Cross bout between Jess Willard and Fred Fulton, all world'3 attendance records would probably go by the board. At an International football match between England end Scotland at Hampden Park on March 23. 1912.

there were 127,307 spectators. If the tiers of the Yale Bowl will reat about 80,000, what would be the to-tul eapaclty of this great amphitheater with the floor of the Bowl filled with seats? Piobably in excess of England's record football attendance. Barney Dreyfus Is quoted as saying that be was offered $30,000 for a certain Pirate, and rejected the proposition.

U. change the hights of hurdles in the 220 and 440-yard events should be successful in the end. If it is proper to have the hurdles In a 229-yard race lower than in the 120-yard event, it certainly Is most reasonable to grade down the hlght in a quarter-mile race over the sticks. Now Lhe quarter-mile hurdler is called upon to go over barriers three feet high, while 2 feet 6 Inches is the hight prescribed in the furlong race. The adoption of Maj Briggs suggestion will make a better and more popular race, with more competition.

Word was also received yesterday that the steamers and barges which have been tied up at Hampton Roads had started for Boston. These vessels were delayed first by Government vessels having the preference at loading berths, and then by the coal freezing In the cars.

Altogether, it is figured that nearly 80,000 tons of coal are on the way to Boston and are due here by Monday. Notwithstanding the temporary relief from the famine and it Is admittedly only temporary the Massachusetts Fuel Administration will exercise Its full authority to enforce the economical operation of all steam plants which it finds are using fuel in a wasteful manner. The Administration, yesterday, sent to nearly 10,000 owners or managers of factories and office buildings notices to this effect. Incidentally, it is the first time that Administrator Ptorrow has directly promised that the drastic authority of his office will be used where inefficient use of coal is Indicated. The notice is accompanied by a form to be filled out by the engineer or owner and Is so arranged that a committee of experts can tell at oncu whether the plant Is being improperly run.

In the event that waste is indicated in the use of coal it is within the power of the Fuel Administrator to cut off the supply for the user. This authority will not be exercised until all other reasonable means are exhausted. The Administration is prepared to send experts to plants, which are wasting coal, and will 4 imv th endeavor to remedy the situation that way. Gov McCall Takes a Hand That drastic steps will be taken to conserve the coal supply of New England is evidenced by the determined manner in which Mr Storrow and the various New England Governors, including Gov McCall, have labored for reYhile reported as being confident that there will be a steady improvement in coal conditions in New England from now on. Gov McCall declared in ash-ington yesterday that he finds It impossible to overlook past mistakes which have seriously affected the New England States.

"Apparently some one forgot that there were people at home as well as abroad. he said, questioning the logic of commandeering of locomotive works for the manufacture of railroad engines tor Russia, France and other countries. He criticised the extravagant use o. priority orders for war freights, and spared no words in taking Sec of the Navy Daniels to task. The Navy, he said, had done much Injury to the transportation of coal In taking the tugs used for towing.

"Lightless Nights Violations Apropos of the "Hghtless night order L. D. Gibbs yesterday furnished the Fuel Administrator with the names of those concerns wl.c disregarded the order. "In many Instances. said Mr Gibbs, "it was honest forgetfulness.

but In others it was simply a hoggish desire to grab all the light possible for the Christmas trade. It became known yesterday, too, that many street gas lamps in certain sections of the city, notably Brighton, have been burning night and day since the lamplighters went on strike a couple of weeks ago. The Boston Gas Company last night stated that it was necessary to keep the lights burning because it was impossible to get men to extinguish and light them each day. the progress they had made in the study of English during their term at school. Then each individual mother and chld was tailed up to receive a Christmas gift.

This la owing to the shortage POLICE TO AID IN CARRYING NIGHT ORDERS The police were last night instructed in a general order to assist in every way so far as may be practicable in securing in Boston a full observance of the order of the United States Fuel Administration Which is designed to prevent the unnecessary use of electric current and thus reduce the quantity of coal required by companies furnishing it. Although the order only applies to Thursday and Sunday nights, and the police will not have the power to prosecute, they will aid in urging the owners of buildings to cooperate to make the request a success. Should they learn on further observation that the conditions have not been remedied they will report the facts and the reports will be forwarded from headquarters to the office of the Fuel Administrator. CAMP DEVENS-LOWELL EXTRA TRAINS SUSPENDED LOWELL, Dec 21 Extra trains between Lowell and Camp Devens will be suspended tomorrow and scarcity of coal is given as the reason.

Earlier in the day Mr Dana and If. C. Potter, representing the company, appeared at the office of the commission and disclaimed any intention of disregarding the powers of the commission. In his letter Chairman Macleod says: In the present instance the commission recognizes the seriousness of the coal situation in New England, and appreciates that the company has been guided in the action which it proposes to take with respect to service by the advice and recommendations of the State and National fuel administrators, The commission, however, cannot undertake, on short notice and in advance of an opportunity. hear interested parties, to give or withhold approval to the specinc changes which are outlined in your letter.

"It must reserve the right, according to its usual practice, to entertain complaints after the changes are made, and to take such action as may seem justified. in the event of such complaints, after full consideration and public hearings. "It should further be said that the law requires seven days notice to the public before any changes may take eftect, and no provision is made in the statute tor any temporary or permanent suspension of its operation to meet erntrgency conditions. No penalty is attached, however, and it may fairly be assumed that no court would require strict compliance with its provisions if a public exigency should render such compliance inconsistent with the public welfare. The company must, however, act upon its own responsibility and be guided in this matter by the advice of the Fuel Administrators, who have full knowledge of the tuel situation and are in a better position to give such advice than this commission could be.

"It has been pointed out that certain of the changes contemplated relate to service now required on certain lines under past orders of the commission. These orders, however, were made at tunes when conditions were normal and it has seemed to the commission that so far as the present emergency is concerned these lines should stand on the same basis as others. For this reason the commission has temporarily suspended the provisions of these orders, upon the understanding that any complaints as to changes service upon these lines may hereafter be considered without prejudice in the same way as any complaints which may be filed regard to changes in service on other lines affected. NO COAL FOR NONESSENTIAL INDUSTRIES IN NEW YORK NEW YORK, Dec 21 Upon statements by local fuel authorities that New York city's reserve coal supply Is rapidly vanishing because the amount daily consumed greatly exceeds that brought from the mines, II. A.

Garfield, Federal Fuel Administrator, today gave authority for discrimination between industries and against all industries in favor of domestic users in the distribution of coal here.

Under direction of Fuel Administrator Wiggin for the State of New' York, a committee will be formed, it was said today, to distinguish between essential and "nonessential industries. If a serious shortage seems imminent it planned to shut off coal from industries classed as "nonessential."
