MUCH MORE DOUBT THAN

Opinion Seems TO Be That Even Betting Either
Way Will Be the Right Ope--Although the
Pirates Are Favored in Some Quarters Now.

ga ASEBALL fans throughout the country are now
~ burning the midnight gas in an effort to dope out
~~ the winners in the coming championship series
between the Pirates and Tigers. Many will allow SYM
pathies to run away with good Judgment, while others VIII
base their predictions on what are supposed to be cold
facts and a fair comparison of the two teams. There
are, many competent critics who are already giving
Pittsburg a shade on form. but they have perhaps failed
to figure that there is an element of baseball luck in
worlds championship contests, the same as in ordinary
games in the middle of a season.
In eight positions Pittsburg and Detroit are tied,
each being credited with four men outbatting four OF
the opposing club. The Pirate infield is sad to have 1t
all over Detroit, with the exception of third base, where
Moriarity is supposed to shine with more briliancy than
Byrne because Of Byrne's weak hitting proclivities. In
the outfeld the Tigers have the better of two of the
three positions, so far as batting is concerned, Davy
Jones being the one Detroit gardener who Is outclassed.
Much will depend upon Cobb and Wagner. Their supe-
riority with the bat should be features of the games.

COPPER SUPPLY IS
 INCREASING ABROAD London Cables a Report Which is Not Encouraging to
 Metal Producers

BOSTON. July J.-The London cable states that during the past two weeks there has been an increase of 511S tons. or 11.464,320 pounds, in foreign visible supply of copper, this is on top of a large increase in the two weeks immediately preceding and brings the total increase for. the month of June up to 23,576.000 pounds, an amount greater than has been re- corded for any 30 days in many years.
 This enormous increase in the for eign supply will more than eounteract any possible decrease in the Ameri- can in the american surplus to be made public on the 10th of this month. and goes to show clearly that our heavy exports. which are contributing much toward the Improvement Of the statistical position of copper in this country. are at the expense of a rapidly growing surplus on the other side of the water.
 The foreign visible supply-the amount held ia public warehouses now amounts to 150,92s,099 pounds. This takes no account of the 100000 900 pounds which is reliably esti mated is held by foreign merchants or second hands and which is not in- cluded in the above total.

INSURANCE COMPANIES
 SAVE MONEY IN NEW YORK

ALBANY. x. Y, July 3.-Superin- tendent of Insurance Hotchklss has transmitted to Gov. Hughes a report prepared by the departments auditor, U. II. Woodward, on the effect of the Armstrong amendments to the insur. ance law. This report shows that, while there was a notable falling of during the past three years in the business Of New York companies as compared with an increase by other companies, such falling of was due primarily to the disclosures. of the Armstrong investigation, and not to the amendments themselves, and such companies are now rapidly recover ing.
 The report points to the large to- tai of nominations by New York companies from lapse, surrender and like causes other than from maturi- " or mortality. Thus in 1908 the largest New York company cancelled policies for causes other than death or maturity, aggregating upward of s1 140,000.000, or approximately the to- tai of new business written by it, while the largest non-state1 company cancelled for similar causes less than s41 .O00.0OO. while it wrote upward of S112.000.0 900 of new business. ;
 The report says these losses while large now, were much larger in 1906 and 1907. indicating that the falling of in the business of the New York companies is a natural result of the Armstrong disclosures.
 Another cause emphasized is that prior to the inTestigation, practically all Of the large New York companies were peculiarly deferred-diyidend

GAN NOW TEMPER
 COPPER
Former Espee Fireman Claims to Have Rediscovered Long
 Lost Art
MECHANIC HAS SPENT
 MANY YEARS ON PROBLEM

The lost art of tempering coppe. to the consistency of case hardened steel. is the problem that Marshall McCombs, a Southern Pacific fire man on the Benson-Lordsburg iivi. sion. who is well known in Tucson is reported to have recently solved.
 Back in the days whe1 McCombs was an apprentice in his father; blacksmith shop in New York state the Tucson Citizen relates, he watch. ed his parent labor long and appar, ently without result over a mass of stubborn red metal which refused to do his bidding and shape itself into metal.
 After he had grown up and served his apprenticeship in his fathers cross roads blacksmith shop, Nc Combs took up the work at which his father had spent over four years of his life and he believes his four years of study and experiment have been successful and he has at last discov-- cred what his father sought for back in New York---a method for treating copper by means of which 1t can be utilized for edged tools and other tempered articles.
 The ancients knew such a process and turned out implements that are to this day carrying a razorlike edge but modern science has been unable to discover the secret proces used by the ancients of the east in temperine |. 1t,I ah,. ists and metallurgists have struggled with the problem without success. Now Fireman McCombs, who runs an engine on the Benson-Lordsburg di- vision and works at his pet hobby between times, believes he has dis covered the long sought for process and he offers as evidence a razor blade of tempered copper which will shave like a highly tempereda nd hol. low ground steel razor.
 The improvised razor blade is as cruds8 looking as the copper instrII- ments discovered among the ruins of the ancient cities of the east. Temper cracks show in the blade and the hammar marks are visible on the handle But the razor was not made for beauty of design or as an illus tration Of skill in workmanship. It was hammered out by NcCombs ito show that his process. for copper tenn pering is successful. and he slaves your arm 10 prove it.
 In addition to the razor blade. Nc. Combs says ha has butcher knife made of the same metal and temper ed to a degree of hardness which permits of it being used as combi- nation Jack knife and razor at the same time.
