ESTABLISHES A RECORD.
American Shipbuilding During Last
Twelve Months Greatest in History.

Returns to the bureau of navigation
show that the fiscal year ended June 30
has been the record year of American
shpbuiding, and that the center Of the
industry is on the great lakes.
During the year 1,5O6 vessels Of $3.50
gross tons were built and numbered in
the United States, of which IS steel
steamers Of 3O4.379 gross tons were built
on the great lakes. The largest annual
output heretofore was in the year 1855.
when 2,O24 vessels of 5S3. $50 tons were
built In that year the great lakes
built only 263 vessels Of 49, 23 tons.
This year steel vessels built numbered
142 of 417,167 gross tons. compared with
800, 665 tons built last year. These two
are the years Of the largest steel con-
struction In the United States.
The tonnage built is entirely for do
mestic transportation. no vessels ex-
clusively for foreign trade having been
built in the United States.
OF the 142 steel vessels, SIS exceeded
1000 gross tons each, 30 on the great
lakes, the largest being the William NJ.
Mills. of 1862 tons. and 30 on the sea-
board. the largest being the Columbian,
Of S.j79 tons. built at San Francisco for
trade to Hawaii.
Four wooden sailing vessels exceeding
1000 tons each we're built during the
year. the largest being the Edward j.
Lawrence. of 1880 gross tons.

Did you notice that catch of the foul
fly by Charley Street over near the grand
stand. He just got the ball in time to
prevent a collision with the hard boards
and he was lucky in not getting hurt It
was great effort.
1t must be remembered that Tannehill
has not been working regularly for some
time and yesterdays try-out will do him
lots Of good. The next time up he will
go better.

Commerce Hit the Ball Hard.
Commerce and Labor retained it's firm
hold on the leadership yesterday after
noon when it took Interior into camp and
gave 1t good sound walloping. Score:
IL to 1.
The Laborites simply outclassed the In
teriorites in swatting and it was by this
method that the victory was so easy for
them. Sixteen hits were made in all. two
of which were triples, two doubles and
the balance singles. Capt. Kinney did
the most damage to the Interior slabmen
by getting one fourth of the hits made
by his team. He was up to bat five times,
once having gotten a base on balls.
triple. double and two neat singles Some
think he had on goggles. but he denies
the allegation. The Interior boys were
away Off in their batting or else Richmond
and Ogle. who served them up for Com
merce, were in excellent form. The losers
are considered as good batters as are to
be found In the league. but they fell short
yesterday. Ogle showed up in fine fettle
for the time he worked yesterday and it
is certain that he will be the selection
against Treasury the next game. The
