Tls tetter to nave had Hastings and lost him
Than not to have had him at all.
The Woeful Mutters or Mlque Fisher.
And the funny thing about it is, this
tad Ira Hastings, -who yesterday afternoon
nlastered a great and glorious 2 to 0 coat
ing of -whitewash on those Tigers, letting
them down with two hits, was once a
Tiger cub. This wise guy, Mlque Fisher,
coaxed Mr. Ira Hastings from his happy
home to come to Tacoma. Ira came, but
after gamboling around in a Bengal uni
form. Fisher turned him adrift Then
Dugdale heard of him did what he uoes
to any youngster who is trying to maKe a
ballplayer out of himself sent for him.
Dugdale tried Hastings out in practice
and knew he would do with proper
handling.
In all of the games Hastings has
pitched since he became a Dug, things
broke badly for him. They broke that
way yesterday, but the lnfleld fumbles
failed to count. There were plenty of
errors dumped into his game, but they
did not seem to phase him. He kept plug
ging away and at critical times the team
played brilliant ball behind him. Pitch
ing against Hastings was the celebrated
Bobby Keefe, Fisher's star slab ,artlst.
Only a few of the dyed-in-the-wool "hope
fuls thought the kid from the bushes had
a chance against Keefe. When five
innings were tolled off and the Tigers that
reached bases got there on account of
errors, everybody began to sit up, forget
about the heat, their tea and dessert,
and realized that Ira was pitching a shut
out game.
Then they began to pull, and pull hard
for him. Their only fear was that he
would let down, as he did in his former
games. This youth has been boosted in
print until 'he has a very cocky opinion
of himself. But he wasn't out to take a
balloon ascension, and, although he was
a bit shaky at times, he got away with a
splendidly pitched game.
The man who won the game when it
came to driving in the winning runs was
Baron Jacob Thielman. Thielman, owing
to an injury that Nadeau received In
Thursday's game while sliding to second,
was in the left veldt. He made a couple
of nifty stops and by a startlingiy quick
return of a fly which he dropped after a
desperate chase, was the means of nip
ping trouble in the bud. It was his long,
clean drive to leftficld that scored the
only two runs of the game.
The story of the scoring is brlof, but
before it is told, something should be said
about that fat stein which was presented
to Mlque Fisher. Just before the game.
Umpire Tom Brown called the Tiger press
agent to the plate and handed him a box.
The players crowded around him and
Insisted that he open it. He was about to
do so. when someone howled, "Look out.
it's dynamite from Dugdale." Fisher
turned paje, but he unwrapped the bun
die it was the stein. As he took his
fleshy proportions back to the bench he
warbled. "The Rhine may be fine, but a
Isold stein for mlie." After the game, was
over he offered tne stein, which bore the
image of a fat bartender on it, to "Hap
py" Hogan for a chew of tobacco. He
attributed the loss of. the game to the
drlnking-mug, but Mique is not-the only
man whose tumble has been due to the
contents of a stein, so here's the rest of
the story.
In the third Inning Steelman worked
Bobby Keefe for a free ticket. Hastings
agitated the atmosphere, retired, and
Spencer died from Casey to Lynch. Mc
Creedie, who sneaked in a bingle in the
initial Inning, hit a murderous line drive
to Lynch. Lynch knocked it down, but
could not hold the swat, and the Judge
was safe. He stole second In order to
draw Hogan's fire, so Steelman could
score, but Hogan made a fluke and
dropped the ball. Then came the German
Baron, with two down and two strikes
on him. Jake, after fouling half a dozen
times, hit a clean, juicy drive, that was
just daffodil high, to leftfleld. McCreedie
was playing half way down the line, and
Steelman was also that near to the win
nlng post, and before the ball .was muffed
by McLaughlin, both scored. That was
all the run-getting in the game, so the
story's told.
Dugdale took another shift with his bat
ting order. He led off with Spencer, and
while that youngster did not do much In
the way of hitting, his fielding was ex
ceptionally brilliant. During, the game he
handled nine putouts and handled four
assists! His play of nipping Hogan at
second after Raymond had knocked down
a hard drive of Keefe's, was a clever bit
of work. Raymond's work, in spite of
errors, all made on desperate chances,
was almost equally good.
The score:

INCREASE IN COAL OUTPUT
GOVERNMENT REPORT SHOWS
GAIN OF 19 PER CENT.
All Previous Records In Production
Have Been Surpassed in the
United States. '
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington Aug. 5. Returns made to
the United States Geological bur-
yey show that the United States
has again exceeded all previous
records in the production of coal.
The forthcoming report on, the
country's coal production, which E.
W. Parker, statistician, will soon
make, will show that the total output
of the coal mines of this country in
1903 amounted toi 3.59,421,311 short
tons. This is an Increase of 57,830,872
sh'ort tons, or 19 per cent, over the pro
duction of 1902, which amounted to
301,590,439 tons. The production of
1903 was nearly double that of 1S93,
and more than three times the out
put of 18S3. The increase of produc
tion in 1903 over 1902 was equal to
the total production of all kinds of
coal In 1878, only 25 years ago.
Large and significant as was the inr
crease in the amount ot coal produced,
the Increase In the value- of the prod
uct was still more noticeable. The
value of the coal product at the mines
In 1903 amounted to $506,190,733,
which, compared with the value of the
output in 1902 ($367,032,069), shows an
increase of $139,158,664, or nearly 38
per cent The percentage of Increase
in value was almost, exactly double
that of the Increase In production a
significant fact which social scientists
may Interpret as they please.
Of the total production in 1903, 74,
313,919 short tons (66,351,713 long tons)
represent Pennsylvania anthracite, val
ued at $152,036,44S. This is in contrast
to tho production of 1902, when the out
put was curtailed by the prolonged
strike in the anthracite regions and
reached only 41,373,596 short tons (36,
940,710 long tons), valued at $76,173,
586. The Increase in anthracite produc
tion in 1903 over the production of the
previous year was 32,940,324 short tons
(29,411,003 long tons), or nearly 80 per
cent in quantity, and $75,862,862, or
nearly 100 per cent In value. The pro
duction of bituminous coal (which In
cludes lignite, or brown coal, seml-an-thraclte.
seml-bitumlnous and cannel
coal, and scattering lots of anthracite)
amounted to 285,107,392 short tons, val
ued at $354,154,285, which, as compared
with 1902, when the production was
260.216,844 short tons, yalued at $290,
858,483, shows an Increase of 24.890,
548 short tonsr or a little over 9 per
cent in quantity, and of $63,295,802, or
a little less than 22 per cent In value.
From this it appears that 57 per cent
of tho total increase in production, and
54 per cent of the Increase in value
was duo to the return of normal con
ditions in the anthraclto fields of Penn
sylvania. The average price for a ton
or bituminous coal, which is obtained
by dividing the total value by the total
product, was $1.24 for a short ton In
1903 and $1.12 in 1902. The average
price of a ton of anthracite coal was
$2.05 in 1903, as against $1.84 in 1902.

Of the 30 states and territories which
contributed to tho output in 1903, in
creased production over 1902 was shown
in all but four. Two of those in, which
the production decreased were among
the Eastern states, Maryland and
Georgia, and two wero in the Rocky
Mountain region of Colorado and Mon
tana. The greatest decrease was shown
by Maryland and was probably due to
the largely increased output of Penn
sylvania anthracite. Colorado's pro
duction fell oif only 32,000 tons, not
withstanding the fact that mining op
erations were seriously affected by la
bor troubles. There was only one state,
Georgia, in which tho value of the pro
duction was less than in 1902.,
Next to the Increase in the output
of Pennsylvania anthracite the most
important gains weije shown by West
Virginia, 5.679,582 short tons; Penn
sylvania bituminous, 4,696,690 tons, and
Illinois, 4,267,294 tons. The increases
and decreases by states are shown in

In order that soma idea nf thn ruiir
represented by the coal .production of
the United States in 1903 may be ob
tained, it might be stated that, if the
entire production were loaded on
freight cars with a capacity of 30 tons
each, the trains containing it would
encircie tne gxooe at the equator about
three and one-third times. If the en
tire production were loaded
cars in one day, the trains would oc
cupy one-quarter of the entire railway
trackage of the United States. T.-T-in-
an average of 30 cars to a train, it
wouia require ib times as many freight
locomotives as there are in the United
States to move this tonnage in one day.
If spread over the surface of Wnnhnttnn
'Island, which has an area of 22 square
mnes, tne entire island would be cov
ered to a depth of nearly 25 feet.
OPENING BOOKS OF HELL.
Bishop Potter Rebuked by Kansas
City Temperance Society.
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Aug. 5. The Kan
sas City branch of tho American Young
People's Christian Temperance Union
strongly disapproves of the ideas of
Bishop Potter, of New York, with re
gard to uplifting the moral tone of the
saloon. At a meeting of tne union, the
matter was discussed, and n.
addressed to the bishop, which will bo
sent to him today. A copy of tho letter
follows:
"May God have merev iinon vnnr
nighted idea of striking 'the keynote of
attack upon the liquor situation.' You
are, rather. Indorsing the key that opens
wide the doors to hell for the army of
100.000 souls who annually leave the
king's highway and stumble Into drunk-
aras graves. The present situation
across the water of 55 bishops in the
Church of England, as stockholders in
breweries and distilleries: with thi
shameful farce of a bishop in tho great
episcopal Church In our own land tak-inK-
a Icadintr oart in the nnenlnc frcr.
cises of a saloon, closing the same by
singing the 'doxology, should make every
proiessed (jnrlst-rollower in this great
Episcopal Church hang his head in verv
shame."
