tiary Aug. II, taking with them as
hostage the warden, was accomplish
ed through the ingenuity of a Chey-

The boatman insisted the river was
too rapid for a crossing and the men,

RECORD SHARKS DRAG
new MARKS OUT OF
B-PHILA FIGURES
(By Associated Press

CHICAGO, Aug. 26.-Record sharks
early today had succeeded in digging
nearly a half dozen new marks from
the mass of figures 33 Chicago and
Philadelphia National league baseball
players compounded yesterday when
for three hours and one minute they
ran themselves GREATNESS amassing
81 hits of assorted varieties, and 40
tallies. 26 for the home club and %
for the Phillies.
The bases were filled by Philadel-
phia players when Chicago's fifth
pitcher famed the last batter, leaving
stranded the potential scorers one solid
hit would have sent in for a record
baseball experts say never would have
been equalled.
The 81 hits, 40 runs, IL Cub hits in
one inning, IA Cub scores in one in
ming and Callaghan's three appear
ancos at bat in one inning, all were
record performances, the first two
new ones for the book The last
three only equalled previous records.
Total times at bat SO for both teams
came within one of tying a 80 year
old mark
Records Threatened
Twenty one bases on balls yesterday
lacked three of tying the record cred
tied to Chicago and New York in the
morning game May 80, 1897. Twelve
two-base hits yesterday were two
fewer than the record made by Chi
cago and Buffalo, July 3, 1888.
Thirty two years ago in the old
Players league, Brooklyn and Buffalo
amassed A runs. June 9, 1901, New
York and Cincinnati together ac-
counted for 40 hits, excelled by yes
terday's performance. Fifty three hits
were made once, April 30.18S7, in a
st. Louis-Cleveland American Associa-
ton game, but bases on balls were
counted as hits
In yesterdays avalanche of hits and
runs. the sparkling exhibition of Cliff
.Heathcote with five hits in five times
up, and Hack Miller's homers, one the
second longest in Cubs park, were
nearly overlooked.

BRITISH COLLIERIES
EXPECT COAL DEMAND
IN CANADIAN CITIES
az Assoeiated Press

LONDON, Aug. 26-A question of
immediate practical interest, raised in
England by the American demand for
British coal. is that of the capacity
of the British mining industry to meet
the demands with the least injury 20
the requirements of other customers.
The pressure continues to increase,
and it is estimated that the American
requirement will soon approximate
100000 tons a day. The tonnage al
ready taken up, however, does not JUS
tify that estimate, for the fixtures re-
ported since the boom began repre-
sents a lightweight capacity of be-
tween 100000 and 100000 tons only.
A circumstance to be reckoned with
is the advent of Canadian business.
To Supply Shortage
There are many indications of
shortage in the supply of bituminous
and anthracite coal from the United
States on which Canada, under normal
conditions, depends exclusively, and
in the event of a continuancy of the
coal and railway difficulties in the
United States, a strong demand for
large supplies of English coal from
Canada will doubtless soon have to
be reckoned with. Coincident with
the inquiries from America, there is
a growing demand from Germany and
the Scandinavian countries for North
cumberland, Durham, Yorkshire and
Scottish coal.
These are markets in which South
Wales completes only to an insight
icant extent, but the more the north.
ern coalfields export to the Continent
of Europe, the less they will have for
shipment to America and the more
acute will become the demands from
the United States for Welsh coal
This gives rise to the question as to
what the Wesh coalfields can sell to
America under existing conditions.
The margin for the coal-exportine
districts is about $4,000 tons week
No arbitrary limit can be placed to
the quantity which it is possible for
the collieries to produce in a seven
hour day, but the circumstances under
which trade has been carried on dur
ing the past II months go to show
that it is not possible to improve to
any appreciative extent on that guam
tity.
