MAY RUN SHORT
OF FUNDS SOON
Tax Collections Coming in Poorly.
No Extra Police

1t is regarded as Very fortunate that
the village of Laurium did not under
take any extensive Improvement work
this summer. for shortage of funds
could hardly have been avoided. Since
the strike began, tax collections in
the village are hardly sufficient for the
routine expenditures and if the strike
is long prolonged, there is bright
possibility the delinquent tax list viii
be unusually heavy this year To date
tax collections amount to about $1,000
about 81 600 of which has been collect
ed since pay day
Water tax collections are even worse
than the collections of general taxes
and unless there is an Improvement
soon, it viii be- but a short time before
the water fund is depleted.
The village has as yet received no
returns from the county treasurer on
last years delinquent taXes, which have
been in the hands of the county treas
urer FOR collection about seven months.
1t is understood from $4,000 To $4,000
has been secured, which would help
out considerably now. 1t has been
customary in the past for the county
treasurer 10 make returns every three
months and the village officers are at
a loss e. understand why this has not
been done this year.
Work ON the pond water extension
on lroqucis street, north Of first is pro-
crossing nicely and likely Will be COM
pletcd this week. only about two hum
drcd feet OF pipe remain To Dee laid.
Ther" have been no serious disturb
anccs in the village since the strike
began and the special police who were
on durN during the rioting of the first
few days of the strike as precaution-
airy measure, have been dropped from
the force.

New York, Aug, 2l.-James f.. Sui

ARCHER DOING

Philadelphia, Pa, Aug, 2l.-The
Cubs with Jimmy Archer in the lineup

BROOKLYN MAY
LET DAHLEN OUT
Harry Smith of Newark Team Like
Iy to Become Manager

Detroit, Aug. 21.-Connie Mack has
deserted the ranks of the optimists, in
The vanguard of whose parade he was
marching last time the Athletics were
here. He does not admit that he wor-
rying--Connie is philosophic, and takes
things as they come. trying always To
make them come his way-but does
not concede that the pennant situa-
ton might be more comforting. With
only lead of 6R games, and that eX-
listing simply because the Maps could
not take advantage of their opportun-
ity the other day, he says that any
thing is likely h. happen, and agrees
that the nag is not yet in.
Wen be fighting to the finish" he
said, and We expect to win. But moth
ing is certain in baseball, anG a mar
gin so small as we possess does no.
cinch a race, especially with club
winning so small percentage of it's
games as ours is Why this is so !
cant understand. 1t JUS seems as if
we have got going badly, and cant
make "a new start. The break must
come, however, and then Wen go ON
and make up some lost ground"
There is, Of course a simple eX-
PLANTATION for the present plight of
The Athletics. The team simply is
in slump, such as comes to all clubs,
and such as has never been escaped
10y any American league champion
team team excepting the Red Sox of
1912. At no time this year has the
Athletics pitching staff held up the
club. Instead, the team has carried
the pitchers. That statement, which
cannot be disputed. disposes of amy
argument that "A Weakening on tn"
part of the boXmcn explains the change
III the flag situation.
1t is probable that Mack's pitching
is as good as he has had, excepting
that Plank. who is no longer a youth.
ana who has been worked pretty well,
is showing signs of the strain. But
all through the first half of the year his
team VAS getting enough runs to dis
count any weakness on the slab, ana
was giving the twirlers phenomenal
support. Now the offense. temporarily
has weakened, and the pitching is not
good enough to carry the club through.
1t is the team that is in n slump. and
not the twirlcrs.
one important reason for the losing
streak Of the Athletics is the all
sence of Jack Barry. who has not been
i'm the last 10 games This shortstop is
player like McBridc--a big factor
in his teams success but never cred
tied. by the general public, for the
amount of work that he does. Barry
doesn't hit high. in the averages, bur
he is a bad man up at the plate in Il
pinch. Also, he cuts off many base hits
and is a clever all round player. Dur
ing most of the time of the Athletics
slump Barry has been an absentee.

Cal doesn't think the youngster

1t is not generally known to the pres

Jimmy McAleer. manager and part

most skillful amateur boxers in Amer
lea. Such is the case, however, and as
there is much logic in the saying that
"once Il boxer always a boxer" The
Ped SoX magnate can probably handle
himself in clever style today.
Back in the early sos when Jimmy
was a member of the Cleveland Spid-
ors' outfield he was the fastest in the
National league. He covered more
ground in fielding and ran the bases
faster than any man playing profess
sonal baseball at the time. McAleer
was then an enthusiastic fight fan.
He never tired talking about pugilis-
tic celebrities, and he was mighty

failed To pick the winner in any big
