ANOTHER ALl-STAR TEAM.
MoAIeer Will Help Put Athletics in
Shape, II.

Washington, Aug. 24.-It wouldn't
be bit surprising to hear that Jimmy
McAleer had organized another all
star team to put the Athletics in trim
to fight the champions of the National
league for the worlds championship
If Connie Mack and his men can re-
peat.
That the manager OF the Washing

to the worlds championship season

when they we're here last week.
Always with the provision of course,
that the Msckmen repeat, and II GER
tainly seems that they will. For the
members of the Philadelphia team are
absolutely certain that IL was the SER
les between them and the all-star
team of the American league which
put them In such fine fettle for their
scrap with the Cubs.

Uno Month arrived home in Laur-

Attention was first given by these COM

men and the first lumber received in
the camp was used as advantageous
ly as possible to relieve the suffering.
The work has been greatly simplified
by the advent of the Canadian Pacific
railway, which makes it possible to Sc
cure supplies much easier.
Mr.. MONTH states that he saw sew

paid are not now commensurate with
the high cost of living there
The sanitary condition of the camp

several articles condemning them.

INvENTs CHEST PROTECTOR.
Charley Hickman Has Improvement on
Old Windpad

Louisville. KY, Aug. 24.-Charlio
Hickman. the former heavy hitting
Cleveland and Toledo outfielder, who
has joined the Milwaukee Brewers.
has turned inventor. Hickman has
applied for a patent on n new chest
protector for catchers. which looks like
. decided Improvement over the bulky
windpads now carried around by the
backstops.
Hickman's hunch is based on the
new style of guards by cricket players.
Instead of n padded protection, these
consist of strips of leather covered
rattan, bound crosswise, leaving an in
terstice of about an inch or an inch
and n half square This principle
Hickman plans TO apply on chest pro-
tectors, making them no longer wind
pads, but merely shields of leather
covered rattan. AS this wood is very
resilient, it would easily absorb the jar
made by the striking of ball upon t..
thus saving the catcher from the slight
est shaking up from the wickedest
blows.
In addition this sort of protector
would be cool in the hottest weather,
while its weight would not exceed n
pound and n half. Hickman plans TO
manufacture one next spring and have
1t tried out thoroughly before placing
IL on the market.

NATIONAL FOREST AREA.
Taft Makes &c Out Of II; Eliminates
225.0O0 Acres

Washington. Aug. 24.-Through n
series of recent proclamations by
President Taft n number of changes
have been made I'm the national for
ests of Idaho, California, oregon and
Wyoming
The only increase in area is in CAL
ifornia, in which two small additions,
involving a total of about 1900 acres,
are made. On the other hand, the
proclamations eliminate total OF
nearly 242,OOO acres, as follows
Eighty-five thousand acres in Califor-
mia, nearly 1876, 900 acres i'm Oregon,
about 5000 acres in Idaho, and about
20 900 acres in Wyoming.
Thus the Encouragement which puts
twenty six national forests in place of
seventeen Is accomplished by net re-
duction in area OF 225,000 acres. II is
explained by officials of the United
States department OF agriculture that
last summers fire experience in the
northwest made II clear that many of
the forest supervisors were I'm charge
of units which were too large for eff
ficient administration.
The changes are a part of a gem
eral movement TO develop. with the
aid of last years experience, the most
efficient system of fire protection pos
sible Mt the present time.

SECOND CROP OF HAY.
Price of Winter Feed to Be About st7
Per Ton

Copper country farmers are making
preparations TO harvest their second
crop of hay and it is likely that work
will be commenced next week i'm some
OF the districts. Clover is said to he
ready for cutting and timothy will
be ready In from ten Gays to two
weeks.
Although the hay crop of other sec
tons has been none too plentiful this
year, the farmers of the copper coun-
try have no complaint to offer. The
first crop was bountiful one, and
was harvested two or three weeks ear
lier than usual, the weather of the
early summer having been exception
ally favorable. The second crop will
be almost as heavy, although the far
mers will be fortunate if they are able
to cure and store il before w"t wealth
er sets in. II mas been several seasons
since a second crop Of hay was secur-
ed i'm this section by all of the farm
ers. and one who is familiar with the
conditions. estimated yesterday that
the years crop will be about 40 per
cent greater than that of other sea-
sons. He states that the price Of hay
for winter feed should not exceed SIT
per ton.

FIRST OF SERIES or
IMINATlON BOUTS.

The first of the elimination contests
for middle weights will be held at New
Orleans Labor Day when Eddie Nc
Goorty, the Wisconsin middle weight,
who has been over in England for
some time, will meet Jack Dillon of
indianapolis, who has been fighting
the best middle weights of the coun-
try the past year. They will come to-
gether before the New Orleans Athletic
club in ten-round battle. and the
winner will be matched later for a
twenty-round contest with an opponent
to be selected from those who have
signed for the tournament
1t is likely that Bob Moha of Mil
waukee will follow n week later at the
same club, and should he win he will
be matched up with the winner of the
McGoorty- Dillon bout. These will be
followed at intervals with matches be-
tween the leading middle weights of
the country, and IL is expected to bring
the stars together in 1nal during the
latter part of the season. Johnny
Thompson has signed 10 meet Billy
Papke down there. but as vet the Ke-
waunee boy has not accepted, although
ne says he viii meet Thompson a little
later on, either I'm a ten or twenty
round battle 1t looks as though the
New Orleans fans should witness some
good contests among the middle
weights.

IMPROVEMENT WORK STOPS.
Little Will Be Done Unless Bonding
Issue Passes.


Street and other Improvement work
in the village of Laurium is practl-
cally at n standstill now. President
Wills stated several days ago that
when the work then under way was
completed, nothing further would be
attempted until the status of the
bonding proposition was determined.
Since then the work on First street
has stopped. the steam roller has
been placed in the shed, and little
other work is being attempted. There
still remain several blocks of First
street, which IL was expected would be
resurfaced and other Improvement
work that has been contemplated
While, no official statement is forth
coming, It Is understood that the coun-
ell will not undertake any additional
work, until IL Is certain the proposal
to bond will be submitted. Outside OF

Baseball BY Electric Light Should Be
Novelty in Calumet.

Local baseball fans are awaiting
with interest the appearance here on

attendance viii be record breaker,
both at the regulation game to be
played in the afternoon and the con-
test to be staged under the electric IL
Elimination i'm the evening. The latter
game should be somewhat of a novelty
in the copper country. for indoor out
door baseball is popular here. and it
will be the first game ever played by
artificial light. although there have
been numerous twilight games. The
Bloomer Girls will bring with them
complete electrical appliances for the
illumination of the park.
The Boston Bloomer Girls have a
reputation that extends over the length
and breadth of the land. Although the
team has male battery. it is only on
rare occasions that it has been found
necessary to use the men this season.
The girls have been playing the game
for years and believe they can show
the sterner soX some features which
they have not been aware of before.
The Bloomer Girls ask no favors from
any of the teams they meet and those
