4S5,O0O,000 short tons. The output in
1909 was 459,715.7O4 short tons. and
in 1907, 4SO.363,424. Colorado fur
nished nearly 100000 tons last year.
The states in which notable increases
in production were made are Colorado,
Ohio, West Virginia, Alabama, NeW
Mexico. Montana, the western coun-
ties of Kentucky and in western Penn
sylvania. Illinois, Kansas, Missouri
and Oklahoma lost in production be-
cause of pending strikes. A general
advance in the price of anthracite
coal has ben noticeable and any de.
cided increase in its production is
hardly to be expected. Strikes in the
southwestern states gave exceptional
impetus to coal mining in Colorado,
New Mexico and Alabama. An in
creased production was obtained in
Colorado notwithstanding that the
strike of April 1st affected the lig-
mites or semi-bituminous producing
districts of the state. The coal pro.
duced in 1910 sold for much higher
price than the previous year. Colo
RADIOS total production in 1909 was
10.722,746 short tons. The increase in
1910 was about 20 per cent. The
heavy demand for Colorado coal dur
ing the last year was for the use of
railroads between Colorado and the

R%OSENBERCER SENDS
In HIS ENTRY FOR
THE X. OF c. GAMES

Jim Rosenberger. the speedy quarter
miller, has entered the knights of Co
lumbus games to be held at Olympic
Park Saturday, August %. The crack
sprinter of the Irish-American A. A. is
known and feared by all cinder-path
speed merchants. His stride is as great
as that of the once famous Arthur
Duffy.
Jim has not met defeat this season at
any distance this side of the "4a0." He
will toe the mark in both the 220 and
44O-yard handicaps. At the rate he is
| going now he looks like a winner. He
will surely start from scratch and
many promising athletes who are en-
tered will no doubt receive liberal
handicaps, which will make the cham
pion go the limit to win out.
Under the circumstances, 1t would
not be surprising If the crack quarter
miller would establish a new record for
both events. Mel Sheppard and Plat
Adams, the other noted athletes, are
keeping in condition for the games, and
the outlook is that the contest for the
handsome prizes will surpass that Of
former years.
An illustration of Rosenberger's
speed was demonstrated last Saturday
when he won the quarter" at Wash
ington Park from a field of classy
s~printers who had big h~andicaps. His
time was 81 AS seconds, which was
considered remarkable by experts, in
view of the condition of the track.

COLLINS WILL
REPORT To THE
TIGERS SUNDAY
OutfieIder Obtained from Cubs
in Agler Deal Needed at Once
TO Fill Bailey's Place-.Leafs
Lose Last Game of the Series.

1t was stated this morning at base
ball headquarters that Ray Collins, the
new Tiger, would o be expected to
todn the Newark Club until next jun
day, though his presence is required at
once because of the illness OF Harry
Bailey.
Collins, as was exclusively IN
nounced in the Evening STAR last
night comes here by the Ag1er trade
to the Cubs. He is an all.around per-
former, having filed In as a general
utility man for Chicago since he vas
traded to the Cubs by Boston In that
King deal. He hit .241 last year and
fieided .977. His hits included six
homers.
1t is pretty safe to assume that the
other man in the trade Is Wilbur
Goods. the former Oriole and a fellow
citizen of Jack Keliy's in Baltimore.
Having won a majority of the games
played here this season, though the
advantage was nothing to brag about,

they were not good for a single run

Magee.
Eddie Zimmerman, the former Tiger,

the Cubs, from being carved in the

Detroit's double defeat by the Red
Sox caused the fans to take notice.
Willett was hit hard in the first game,
but Jennings allowed him to remain on
the mound. Ed Lafitte was not hit
quite as hard in the second, but the
D~onovanites got to him at the right

Thrice yesterday there were members

was invincible each time.
In the past he has had hard luck,
but his hoodoo has been broken. AMI
it is hoped that Charley is now on the
