New York Americans Figures Of Twelve
Consecutive Victories for American
League Already Shattered.

The Chicago White Sox have broken
all American League records for straight
victories with their present phenomenal
run. and the double victory over New
York Yesterday made eighteen, which
equals the mark set by the New York
Giants two years ago. when they jumped
TO the front in the National League race
and began their long string Of successes
which placed them 50 far ahead Of all
competitors IN the struggle for the flag
in that organization that season,
Griniths New York Highlanders set
the hgh-water mark in the American
League for consecutive victories when
they won twelve straight last season.
Their run began on July % and con-
tinued through the game Of August z.
during which time no team was able 70
stop them.
The last time Comiskeys team was
defeated was August !. Jesse Tannehm
has TIE credit Of having pitched that
game. The club has won twenty-five Of
the last tWenty-three games it has
played.
Chance to Break Record.
In 1903 McGraw's Giants made the rec
ord run OF eighteen consecutive vic
tories. beginning June Is and going
through the games OF July 4. II was
that string that put the Giants IN the
lead. from which they were never head
ed that entire season. The best run iu
the National League In 1905 was again
made by the Giants. but was for only
thirteen games, beginning July % and
going through August 2.

tween Chicago and the Athletics in Phil

Everything is going aiong smoothly,

Battler has shown that the altitude here
does not affect him In the least. He is
working just as hard and faithfully for
the contest as he has for any in the

GOLDFIELD. New, Aug. 23.-It was
practically certain that there viii be
no hitch whatever u prevent Joe Cans
and Battling Nelson from entering the
ring on time on Labor Day when both
OF the fighters reported today that they
had made the required weight. lSS
pounds
In the case OF Nelson there was moth
ing surprising about this, but IL had not
been expected that the Baltimore light
weight would reach the figure so easily.
In fact Cans did not put himself under
any great strain 10 make his mark, and
found that IL was only the result Of his
regular training that put him there.
Nolan Discounted.
The easy training that Cans under
went TO reaCN 1873 pounds has been
discontinue 70 some Of the Nelson sup
pOrters. Bill Nolan. the Battler's man
ager, was very sanguine that Cans
would not succeed in getting down to
the required weight. ana when making
the deal for the Dane 10 meet him, he
was so concerned about this matter
that he made 70 one of the principal art-
cles of the fight that the weight should
be taken three times.

OF Interest to East Siders
APPEAL
THE CASE
The Seventy Saloon Men Of Mime.
apolls VIII Take Decision Of Mime.
sofa Supreme Court to the United
States Supreme Court.

The United States supreme court
will be asked to decide the case of the
saloon keepers in st. Paul as to
whether they should have been granted
a trial by jury or not. A full ac-
count of the case was given in last
evenings issue of The Evening Times.
In the decision reached last Friday
by the Minnesota supreme court the
court held that the municipal judge
interested was right in refusing 10
grant trial by jury and that any
other judge on the police bench had
the option of refusing a trial by jury.
The decision was not satisfactory to
the seventy saloon keepers interested
and they are going to bring the mat
ter before the highest court in the
land. The question of trial by jury
is very old one, having been first
granted in 1915 when King John
agreed to grant it in the Great Char
ter on that date. There is also state
ment in the constitution of the United
State which states that any person
AAASsy aeAvO q ~ AoA Wy July anu ~ 10
thought this will have a direct bearing
upon the case. The states attorney
will endeavor to prove that the con-
stitution does not affect the present
case.
A favorable decision will mean
much to the state of Minnesota at
large. If the highest court in the land
holds that persons arrested for GRIM
inal offenses are entitled to jury trials
there will he too much work for the
present bench of police judges. In
place of two there probably would
have to be five or ten judges, if every
one decided that he wanted jury
trial
For instance, there are seventy sa-
loon men waiting for the decision Of
the court. If the court rules a jury
trial should be granted then it is
probable that each and every one of
these defendants will ask for jury
trials. A very long time will be re-
quired. Besides these seventy there
are daily many persons who would de-
mand trials by jury.

Large Increase Shown.

The gross earnings of the Minnesota
railroads show the following COMPARE
son:
Gross earnings in 1sO5-$75, 1891 $685.

Gross earnings tax in 19O5-$3, O15,-
677.03; 1904-$1,911,1 S4.43.
The above comparison shows large
increase both in earnings and espec-
tally in taxes, as the rate was raised
one per cent and this makes large
difference when so many millions are
involved. The state has lawsuit on
their hands with the Great Northern
that road refusing to pay more than
3 per cent, and the amount involved
will be $4,000.

day, the New Code Being the Cause
Of All the Trouble-Probnble Result
of Cases Tried Today.

Almost all the attorneys and judges
IN the state of Minnesota are in a
quandary today as to what they will
Go in regard to cases which may come
up. AS yet only few copies of the
new code have been distributed and
it will be fully two weeks before the
majority will be in any way informed
as to what the law is. If case
should come up today it would have
to be tried under the old code of laws
although the new code is in effect and
If the laws in both codes happened
to be the same the decision in the case
would stand. But if that particular
point would happen to be changed in
the new code then the case could be
appealed and trial under the new
code would probably be granted. No
person seems to know just where they
are at today and in the history of
the Oldest resident Minnesota has not
been in such quandry before. The
store keepers are the only persons
who know what they have to do and
then they are not absolutely certain
as to what the law relating to adul-
terated candy is.
