Both Ryan and ''Patsey'' Patterson,
the new shortstopper, pulled off bril-
liant fielding stunts on the infield.
Patterson's remarkable catch and peg
from second base was a hair raiser.

though the quantity produced was less
than in some of the years past, the
better prices prevailing resulted in
considerably increased benefits to the
producers and encouraged them to inn
prove and extend their estates. The
production of fruit for export was in
creased during the last year about
one-third the total shipments reach
ing in value over 100000, a matter
worth note since this is practically a
new industry in Porto Rico, dating as
a fact of commercial importance from
1903. In tobacco and sugar, the two
leading industries of the island, nota-
bic increases during the year are re-
corded. About twenty-five per cent of
the tobacco crop is shipped in the
leaf, while the remainder is sold in
manufactured form. The growth of
this industry may be judged from the
fact that 276,OOO,O0O cigars were man
ufactured in 1911, or 100000 more
than were made in the preceding year.
The tobacco industry produces some
fifteen per cent of the total insular re-
ceipts from external trade. Sugar
production was marked by an in
crease of thirteen per cent for the
year, and the external sales reached
nearly $25,OOO,OOO and constituted
sixty-three per cent of the total re-
ceipts from external trade.

Sugar, Tobacco and Coffee Production

Sugar, Tobacco and Coffee Production
Prosperity in Porto Rico is mainly
dependent upon agriculture, and in
this field largely upon sugar, tobacco
coffee, and fruits. The production OF
all of these except coffee was notably
increased during the year. Even cot.
fee, which has never fully recovered
from the effects of the hurricane of
1899 and the low price prevailing
since, received a strong impetus, and,
