LOSS In MINED COAL
OF So PER CENT SEEN
Commissions Estimate of Blum
inous Based on Possible Total
Annual Production.

Bituminous coal lost to consump-
tion equals nearly 35 per cent of the
possible total annual production. the
Coal Commission reported to Presi.
dent Coolidge yesterday, after an eS-
haustive survey. The commission
listed 1914 per cent as "avoidable"
loss and 1873 as arising from causes
which normally could not be OBJ
Waited.
The survey was confined to produc-
ing states east of the Mississippi, be-
cause of inadequate field forces to
undertake a comprehensive survey Of
the entire bituminous area. The
states covered produced 36S,500 900
tons in 1921, or 80 per cent of the
national production. Compared with
this, the commission declared, 1885,
100000 tons were lost, listing the fol-
lowing as causes responsible for
avoidable losses:
Improper methods of mining; care
lesSness and bad engineering even in
carrying out these faulty methods;
careless cleaning of coal at tipple and
in mines; excessive blasting; poor
transportation methods; leaving pill
lars to hold roof instead of back
filling; using coal for ballasting
tracks; working in mines without
adequate Sights" with the result that
much coal is passed.
BY states the losses ranged from
20 per cent in Virginia to 49 per cent
in Illinois, the aggregate being estimat-
ed to equal the total annual output of
the states of Illinois, Alabama, Indiana
and Virginia.
TT is we'll known" the report point
ed out, that temporary cessation of
work caused by strikes. by the min
ing system involved, or by the de-
mand, results in general deterioration
of timbers and gradual collapse of
workings, many of which are never
reopened. A large operator in Ten
nessee attributes fully half the coal
lost in that state to strikes"

JENNINGS PRAISES BANCROFT
Assistant to Manager McGraw Says
Shortstop Is One of Brainiest
Players in Game.

Bancroft of the New York Giants
is nj of the brainiest shortstops in
the history of the game" says Hughey
Jennings. now assistant to John Nc
Graw at New York.
In his day Jennings had no superior
as shortstop and knows whereof he
speaks.
Most of the modern shortstops
play a stationary position" continued
Jennings. THAT Is a fatal mistake,
for often a step in either direction
prior to the pitch makes possible a
play on the ball that would otherwise
90 as a base hit.
"No club gets very far without a
great shortstop. While the New York
team has a brilliant infield, that COM
bination would be greatly slowed down
by an Inferior player at shortstop."
