M " Q With the nation spasmodically from the throes of one coal controversy to another dur-ing recent years, public in-terest in miners, what they do and how and where they work has been heightened. Hence, the tapping of a mountain of coal about 100 million short tons of it in North Carolina re-cently was big news. The coal is on the right side of a mountain at Sanford, N. C, and from 50 to 60 tons of it come to the sur-face during a normal pro-duction day at the Cum-nock mine of the Raleigh mining corporation. The photo above shows a safety-t-ube, easy-grad- e tunnel running 1,500 feet under Deep river to cuttings on the other side of the stream. :. . : ' V !

The work-man is guiding one of the latest -- model "crawling jack-saw- which separates top cuts and undermining under cuts by piston ac-tion saw. Cuttings in the mine (left) are at right angles generally to the en-trance slope. In this photo a miner levels fresh - cut coal pouring into a dump truck from a conveyor run-ning back to the cutting. t A little mountain of coal slowly grows at pit opening of the Cumnock mine as output of around the clock, machineried operation pushes coal upwards. This stockpile likely will never grow large, because easy transport facilities mate for easy distribution. j OF THE DETROIT TIGERS, THE AMERICAN lX LEAGUE BATTING CHAMPION 0FIIP49, V i I J ) NOT ONLY WON BY AN UNPRECEDENTED ' ' jr ' J EYELASH,(.3429 OVER TED WILLIAMS .3427) BUT 13 THE FIRST TH ftD- - , ' BASEMAN EVER TO COP THE CROWN- - I J T r Tallest player jJ J ' eXs IN l949's NATI0NAL ( r , ,.1,0iU-- r a HOME RUN SLKWJNG GREENS 1 TO WIN THE FST CE,?

Why, bless my soul it's big Joe Page again Pay Check Then and Now (VR ATTENTION was called, as you might say, to a number of salaries paid ballplayers recently. Joe DiMaggio and Ted Williams wora tVla nlir C7 OHf! s but there were sev-- J eral that ranged from $35,000 to j $60,000, including .Bob Feller, Stan Musial, Tommy Henrich, Jackie Robinson and a few others. We are not in- - Min.i4 In m U a A That was a total of $9,000 for Walsh and Jackson, who today would be cheap at $70,000 a year. Mafhcwson's top salary was $10,000. So was Hans Wagner's. Matty was easil- y- a $60,000 pitcher and Wagner an $80,000 or $100,000 ballplayer. How many are now around who have led a big league eight years at bat, in addition to be-ing tabbed the greatest short-stop of all time? Cy Young was winning 20, 25 and over 30 games a year for a royal stipend, ranging from $3,000 to $8,000 a season. Maybe it was only $5,000 a year. He won only 512 games and wound up practicaDy broke after 22 years. Compared to the ballplayers today are business tycoons and financial geniuses. They are getting paid 10 for 1 above the kings of yester-day. An ordinary .260 hitter today can get more than Wagner, Jack-son, Walsh, Mathewson or Alex-ander. Ty Cobb made his money from a soft drink, not from a soft club owner. ... Shorter Pay Longer Years The old system of lower pay at least had one extra advantage for the club owner. The ballplayer had to hang around longer. For example there are a few men left in both leagues. Bat at the golden dis-tribution which took place from 30 to 40 - years ago or some 20 years ago look what happened: Pop Anson hung on for 26 years. So did Jack Quinn. Ty Cobb spent 24 years in harness and Hans Wag-ner was on deck 23 years. Tris Speaker and Nap Lajoie adorned the infield and outfield for over 22 seasons. Cy Young was a man. Remember these wore all stars the top of the flock. There are any number who worked on the big time lot for 15 to 18 years. But today Joe DiMaggio is one of the long-tim- e veterans left. Managers will tell you that the game has grown so much faster than it used to be that only a few exceptions can outlast 10 or 12 years. Well, Cobb hit around .330 in his 24th campaign. Wagner was still a star in his 43rd year and his 23rd season. I'd rather have had Wagner at 38 or even 40 than any shortstop in the game today. Someone asked Jack Quinn one day how it was that he was still pitching after 24 seasons. "That's easy," Quinn said. "A wife and six children." Grantland Eice tears over any-thing that happens in this upside-dow- n world, but it seemed at the moment that tears were due for the old guard Matty, Alexander, Cy Young, Lajoie, Walsh, Delehanty, Joe Jackson on through a long list of ballplay-ers, certainly the match of any we have today. I recall the feud that developed between Nap Lajoie and Ed Dele-hanty of the long-ag- o Phillies. "We were getting $2,500 a year," Lajoie told me once. It might be remembered at the time both were hitting around .400. Delehanty had just struck off four home runs in one game. They agreed to stick it ont together for $3,000 a year two ballplayers who today would be good for at least J75.000 a year. It seems that only Delehanty signed for $3,000, leaving Lajoie out in the frosty cold. So Larry jumped and signed with the Cleveland club of the new league for $8,000 an incred-ible salary, paid by Charlie Somers, the millionaire. Then I looked back and recalled Big Walsh who pitched 66 games in 1908, of which he won 40 and saved 12 others. The great Walsh threw his arm away that season for the princely sum of $4,500, paid him by a wild spender known as Charles Comiskey. Comiskey also paid Shoeless Joe Jackson around $4,000 or $4,500. All that Jackson could do was to chase Ty Cobb with a batting average of .410. An owner's guide is always in-cluded with your gas range. It's a good reference for time-savin- g hints on meal preparation and cooking, and simple everyday care. When your hands feel puckered up or have that parboiled appear-ance after washing in soap suds, rub them with vinegar or lemon juice to make them soft and white. This also helps to prevent chapping. When making pancakes that call for cornmeal and have no extra flour added, be sure to stir well each time you take a spoon-ful of batter up for frying.
