MIAMI.

The under ground workings of the Miami Copper company have reached a point where with very little more work the mine will be in readiness to begin production, and as it seems improbable at this time that the concentration will be finished for at least three weeks. there will not be au delay from underground when once the mill begins operation. It IS estimated that when the mill starts about four hundred tons a day will will be hoisted from the main haul age level, the remaining sixteen hundred tons. to make up the daily capacity, wifi be taken from the st0ckpiles at both the number two and four shafts. This stock accum- ulated in the course of mining op- eraucns attendant upon the blocking out of the ore and the preparation O. the mine for production It is prob able that when the mill is completed and running full capacity that about four hundred men will be employed on the surface and in the under ground workings. as it is estimated that for every thousand tons of ore mined it will require approximately two hundred men, twent-five on the surface and one hundred and seventy five under ground

Y0ST WON'T PLAY CRANE
 NO. 2 TEAM
Manager Lynch Says Pitchers
 Are Not Going Right
(Rv Ira Ha.l1l


 There will be no game or series of games between the Yosts, who are looked upon as the winners of the Factory league and the Crane No. 2 team, winners of the Industrial lea que, to decide the factory champion ship of the city. Manager Lynch or the Yost team is the authority for this statement.
 There has been talk each year Of an inter-league series, but nothing has ever come of it. This was due to the fact that the Factory league was never considered in the same light as the Industrial. The Factory lea que. Or the younger organization. gained prestige last season when the Yosts after quitting the Industrial league, joined their ranks. The Yosts won the pennant, losing but one game. but would not consider a series with the Industrial league champs because of the bitter feeling created at the time of the big upheaval
 Within the past year due to changes in the Yost club that bitter feeling has about died away, so that at this time the best of feelings exist among the clubs of the two leagues That the Industrial league is the faster or ganization is conceded by Manager Lynch of the Yosts when he states that owing to the weakened condition of the pitching staff of his club, a series for the championship would be considered ''It mattered considerably when Frank White was doing our twirling," says Lnych. "If he was still in condition we would not throw down any challenge, but with Frank out of the game and no dependable heaver, a series is out of the ques- ton. Taking the teams man to man, we have it on the Industrial league winners. except in pitchers. There is our failing Without pitchers a club is lost"
 There is. however, probability that there might be 8 series between the two champs as the Harvey Hub bell crowd might slip in an win the Factory league pennant, and might consider series. It is understood that the Hubbells favor such ser ieS.

Before the advent of the house num- Der only business signs, coats of arms and house names marked the different buildings. Then, in London, for in@ stance, one had to look for MT. Jones. should he desire to call upon that man. in, say, 'Whftechapel, not far from the Blue Boar" It is thought Berlin in 1795 was the first city to employ the numbering system. The German fnnovators did not put odd numbers on one side of their streets and ever numbers on the other. They merely started from the Brandenburg gate and numbered straight ahead, takine no account of change of street As they proceeded. therefore, the mum bers grew higher, the height to which they attained being limited only by the supply of houses.

Foxy McGraW Has Wonder In Herzog Giants Leader Adds Speed to lnfield That Was Slow
 ing up

The ancient warning against swap: | ping horses in mid-stream may be
 worth something in other lines ot
 polite endeavor. but it is becoming
 more and more evident as the close of the season approaches that it does l not apply when one J.J. McGraw does the swapping.
 By one move, the most daring a big league manager has made this ason McGraw transformed the Giants from an outside possibility to what now
 looks like a certainty. By trading Al Bridwen, once the boss of all the
 ising, but not over energetic young ster, to Boston in exchange for Charley Herzog. McGraw secured the one man needed to make the Giants
 strong favorites in the pennant race. Replacing Arthur Devlin, once hail. ed as the greatest third baseman in the National League. if not in the country, Herzog added speed and bat ting to an inf1eld that had without warning slowed up. Devlin was field ing his position we'll, though not as brilliantly as in the olden days. but nothing, and he wasn't showing the same dash on the bases.
 HerZog jumped into stardom inn mediately. In his best days Devlin never played a stronger. faster de- fensive game than the young farme CT from Maryland. And it is years since Devlin hit as HerZog has been clout- ing lately. Herzog started off to mur- der the ball as soon as he donned a Giant uniform.
 Bringing with him a batting aver age of better than 300, Herzog con- tinued at the same merry clip. After a few days he slumped and on the re- cent western trip was something of a disappointment. Returning home he found the Philadelphia pitchers a shade too much for him. But when Mike Doolan took his Quakers away from New York and Clarke Griffith introduced his Reds all this was changed. HerZog regained his vision erable for the visitors from beyond the Rhine
 This is not Herzog's first experi- ence as a Giant. McGraw scooped him out of the minors several years ago, but had differences with the player and finally let him go to Bos- ton. Herzog had more trouble there, at one time drawing a long suspen- sion for showing too keen an anxiety to grab Fred Lakes job as manager.
 This was smoothed over when Lake appointed manager of the Rustlers. Playing shortstop and occasionally third, Herzog promptly proved him self too good for the company he was in. Fred Clarke made Boston an offer for him, but would not pass over any but players for whom Bos- ton had no use. McGraw offered Bridwell and Gowdy and was taken up. E N

He met her one night at a reception and asked her to go to the theatef with him. She accepted, and, as they liked each other, they went again later. Then it got to be a weekly occurrence Finally he got to thinking that he wal solid enough with her to go out be- tween the acts, and so he did. Fos several weeks he worked this and mef with no rebuff. But she was thinking a lot, even though she wasn't saying anything.
 One evening she said, 'why oonf you go to the smoking room to smoke instead of going to the lobbyT
 "Is-is there smoking room fn. sider' he asked
 ''Of course. You always say that you are going out to smoke, and it seems so useless to have to taks your hat and coat every time. And if you thought of it beforehand you could buy those cigarettes that you seem to Hke-the ones that smell Hks cloves, you know-before you come"
 He is wondering if she is as wise as 1t seems or as innocent as 1t appears.- Boston Traveller.

MECHANICS
 POUND RUBE
 SACER HARD
Ladd and Crook Touch New Britain Finger For Home
 Runs
<By WagnH.)

Rube Sager comes from Torring- ton. He broke into the sporting page by pitching for the Coe Brass team Winsted or Goshen Corners with one hand tied behind him. Yesterday Rube didn't have anything but his cap and Gene McCann's strong arm men fell upon Sager's line of goods like a bunch of actors upon the free lunch. When the returns were all in the score stood Bridgeport Is, New Britain 1.
 It was great |, day a to boost the the the garden wall in the fourth with not a soul on the sacks. Hiram also connected for a two bagger. Capt. Tom Crook belted out a homer that bounded over the right field barrier. Tom came through with three bag up his batting jamboree by gathering a pair of doubles and Lou Litschi kicked in with two singles.
 Opposed to Rube Sager, was Uppy Upham, one of the tallest citizens of Akron, o. Uppy had his famous named Jim Murphy owns the New Britain Spuds you can see what a chance the visitors had. Four hits was their limit and three of those came made 'em all hit. He issued one pass and famed three.
 The Spuds had heavy hitting ag- gregation and they were good enough to beat Hartford twice Saturday but Upham had something up his sleeve who slipped on something and fell downstairs, made his first appearance here since his accident and Steamer Flanagan, leading swatsman of the league, danced around in left garden. Manager Sox Waterman eased him. self into Hoey's job after he saw the day was lost
 Bridgeport gave very smooth fielding exhibition. Litschi handled nine difficult chances and Foot Ruell knocked down a couple of hard ones. Colvin looked good at third for the Spuds.
 As an example of neat but not gaudy base running, take the second round when the Mechanics grabbed two. With two out. Kauff beat out grounder to Cabrera. He dashed for second and was safe when Cab rera dropped the throw. Benny took third on a wild pitch and crossed the pan when Stow beat out an infield rap. Kerr hit for a sack and Stow took third. Then the delayed steal was tried. Sager attempted to block the throw but muffed the ball and Stow came home.
 Ladd's homer came in the fourth and in the fifth Kerr's hit, Upham's sacrifice. Litschfs single, Eley's two bagger and Crooks triple produced four. Stow was hit by an inshoot in the sixth. Kerr sacrificed and then a pass to Eley rLitschis hit and Crooks home run made four tallies. Upham's one spot. Eley's double and Crooks sacrifice fly gave Bridgeport the final two in the eighth.

FOOTBALL
 GUIDE FOR 1911 OUT.

Spalding's Official Foot Ball Guide for 1911 has just been issued Prob ably no book of sporting rules, out side of the Spalding Official Base Bali Guide, is as anxiously awaited as the Gne containing the new foot ball rules.
 The new rules show many changes, which must be carefully studied by officials, coaches, captains and play CTS, as they affect both officials and players. One is the lessening of the lntermlssion between the first and second and the third and fourth per iods. The official will note that un- der the new ruling the time is short ened so that practically there is just about time to transfer the ball, if it is in one end of the field from its last position to the place where it is to be put in play at the beginning of the next period. This shortening Of the time of rest, if carried out strict ly by the officials, will mean that the players do not get chilled and have a chance to continue in their stride A change of greater moment in the play itself is one ruling on the forward pass. Formerly, in the case of an un- completed forward pass, the penalty was measured from the spot from which the pass was made That usually meant spot at least six or seven yards back of the line of scrim- mage. The new rule says that the distance Sna!I DC measured from the spot of the preceding down instead of the spot from which the ball was passed. It is easy to see then that the penalty is lessened by about sev- en or eight yards. which is by no means an unimportant fact to bear in mind when considering the advisa bill ity of attempting such a pass. The rest of the changes are of less inn portance, but should be carefully read by coaches and captains
 Spalding's Official Foot Ball Guide will be sent to any address in the United States or Canada by the Amer ican Sports Publishing Compan4, o1 Warren street, New York City, post paid, upon receipt of ten cents

Yale Tackle And
 .Chum's Sister Wed
"Dutch" Levine Takes Sister of Carl Flanders For His
 Bride
CNew Haven Journa1-Courier.)

Another romance of the football field has been brought to light here through the receipt of invitations to the wedding of John Nathan NLevine, who during his college days was known as nothing but Dutch Le- vine, and played a slashing game at tackle on Tom Shevlin's famous Yale team, to Florence Newton Flanders, a sister of Carl Flanders, who played at center on the same team.
 This news has occasioned even more interest than it ordinarily would have, in view of the recent runaway mar riage of Heinie Hobbs, another Yale football star, and the sister of Ham Andrus, who played shoulder to shoul- der with him on the Yale team of 1909. These two romances go far to prove that cupid hovers over the great wooden stands at Yale field, where the blue warriors have for recent years met their rivals to the cheers of 30,- 900 or more spectators, many of them the faireSt of the fair sex the country over
 Levine and Flanders were room mates while here and the former met Flanders sister after one of the big football games Miss Flanders was intensely interested in the game and possessed a great admiration for the doughty tackle, who with her brother, helped to sweep the field that year. Levine had played previous to coming here on the team at Colby college in Maine, and was at Yale a year before he was eligible to play.
 Flanders was chosen as All-Amer- 1can center the year he played and returned to New Haven several years ago to help coach the Yale team.
 The marriage will be performed at Orange, N. J., the home of Miss Elan ders parents, on "Wednesday, Septem Der G.

 Who are the poHtest people in Eus rope? If common speech Is any crfte- rion, surely the Spaniard must carry off the palm.

 Jack Halpin's Black Rock band are a fast travelling crew. The Subur- banites kept up their great winning streak yesterday by taking a fall out of Chris McMahon's Eagles, 4-3. in a speedy contest at St. Joseph Oval. The win brought the Rocks into the runneEup position and within mailing distance of the Joes, the leaders. When smearing the salve on Hal pins hustlers just throw little extra over the work of Jack Egan, the Rocks peerless catcher, and also don't overlook Benham on the first turn. Egan slipped over double decker with the bases stuffed, turning the tide Of battle, while Benham came through with a perfect record, four hits, one good for three turns, out of four times up
 Eagle fans saw visions of a. victory when in the seventh inning second and third were occupied with none down. Deacon Roraback frightened up, fam ned one, and forced the next two to send up weak pop flies. It was just sample of the ball he was twirling all the way through.
 Campion worked wonders for the Eagles, turning back 10 Rocks by the breeze route. Behind him the Eagles fielded brilliantly, slipping up but once,
 
 The deluge turning thr tide came in the sixth Then with the paths fully tenanted with Rocks, Jack Egan poled out a double, chasing the trio across
 The contest had it's peculiar features OhMaley at first base had but one put out for the Eagles, while Gustropski in left for the same flock succeeded in corriling the only outfield fly. The remainder of the A outs were distrib- uted among the infielders. Buckley at third for the Rocks did not have a chance. The score:

Members of the Joes conferred with representatives of the Yost club Saturday evening with the result that an amicable agreement was reached and the game postponed.
 Under the orders of the league the game is forfeited to the Yosts, but the latter club will not accept a victory such means. Manager Lynch of the Yosts in a statement this morn ing said that none of his players want such victory If games are to be won, the boys want to win them on the field or not at all,'' said Manager Lynch.
