the American league by what looks
like pennant margin.

HHERE'S a lot of talk in cur

about the acid test"
Well the real thing is nothing COM
pared with what the Crackers must
go through in the next three days
If the elements don't providentially
interfere. It's more like the test
they had for witches in the good
old days. They threw the accused
in kettle of boiling oil, and if
she survived she wasn't witch.
The boiling oil stuff will be only
little worse than what the Crack
ers must go through in playing
five games In three days with the
league leaders. According to Man
ager Alperman's schedule. he will
play two games today, two tomor-

will be some struggles.

game would get their number any
old time The last time the Bar
ons were here the Crackers beat
them a doubleheader and had Fox
en- beaten in the third game when it
was rained out. The Crackers still
have their festive nanny, as far as
the Barons are concerned, and will
play their heads off to beat the
league leaders.
Yesterdays double bill with the
Pellcans was rained out. Just as
the teams were ready to get away.
a terrific rain and wind storm hit
the park. and baseball for the day
was off. The clubs got into the
last half of the first inning when
Umpire Breitenstein announced
that there would be nothing doing
for the afternoon.
Bill Duggleby had started the

D. A. Howard, the Cracker inhelder
who has been on the Cracker suspend

Tommy Atkins will be placed on the in
eligible list TO make an opening for him.
At that there is some doubt about
whether or not Howard win be allowed
to play He was suspended when
Washington turned him back to Allan

can be used again this season, owing TO
the stringent rules in the Southern
against using suspended players.

We Lead the World in Copper.

 tion of copper in every state in the Union, and some other in teresting data regarding the in dusty Mhe article is based upon h e United States Geological Surveys report for 1911.
 Arizona ranks first and fore most as copper producing state. Tne copper produced in the en- tire country during the year amounted to 1.O97, ,232, 749 lbs. This enormous amont of copper is 56 per cent of the entire out
 put of the world. The price of copper for the year taken as an average was 12.5 cents a pound. The value of the United States production was $137, ,152,O92. :. Of this large total the state of Arizona produced 303, POP, 532 pounds. This was thirty million pounds more than the state of Montana, the next nearest state in the number of pounds prod u- Iced. Arizona produced 27 per cent of all the copper mined in the United States. The states and amounts produced of any magnitude are as follows: Mon tana, 278, ,814, 491 pounds; Michi- gan, 219, 1855, 236 pounds; Utah, 143, ,34O,215 pounds; California, Alaska, Tennessee, Colorado and ] Idaho follow in the order named
