LOSS OF ROCK SHIPMENTS
PERMANENTLY HALTS WORK
STREET IMPROVEMENT MAY BE
ABANDONED, OWING TO
DIFFICULTY.

The closing of the Calumet & Hecla
mine and the lack of crushed rock will
result in the abandonment of proposed
street work in Laurium and there is
little probability of any improvements
being undertaken this year. The sup
ply of crushed rock at the mine was
limited early in the year and il is un-
derstood that that has since been ex-
hausted. The street department was
promised shipments OF approximately
1000 cubic yards Of rock each month
during the summer and the original
plan was to complete about one block
in every four weeks.
Plans To macadamize Lake Linden
avenue were well underway and the
street officials were hopeful TO begin
operations the latter part of the pres
ent month. tlecla street was also in
line for attention, but this Will not be
undertaken until next year, according
TO present intentions of the depart
ment
Meanwhile. other municipal work
will continue and the laying of mains
from Florida street to Bollman's addi-
ton will be rushed to completion This
work probably is the most important
of any that will be undertaken this
year and it meets with a demand that
mas existed for several years. The COM
pletion Of the laying of mains will
provide adequate fire protection in the
most remote parts of the north end of
the village

MANY UPS AND
DOWNS IN GAME
Men High In the Ranks Last Year
Are Heroes No Longer

st. Louis, July 3O.-The long lanes
with continuous straight journey and
without turn at some point does not
exist, especially in baseball The pas
time sport probably furnishes more
ups and downs. a winner today and
loser tomorrow. than any other pro-
fession.
AT present baseball is proving this
and the best examples art j. Garland
Stahl and Frank Chance with quite a
few other individuals, included in the
list. Connie Mack and Clark Griffith.
in our midst at prOient can be added
without making a mistake.
year ago today the Boston Red
SoX were furnishing the sensation In
the American league with Griffith
right next in line. The Red Sox had
surprised the dopesters by jumping
out in front in the pennant race and
remaining there right to the finish.
Then came the climax-the victory
for the Red Sox in the worlds cham
pionship series and Jake Stahl was
voted the greatest citizen i'm and
around Boston He was honored with
banquets and messages of congratu-
latons.
But the turn came when this
same Stahl was dropped as manager
of the team that was regarded as be-
ing supreme in baseball only 10 months
previous. In the east IL had been pre-
dicted that something was going TO
happen in the ranks of the Red Sox
shortly. with the something" the dis
missal of Stahl as manager.
So now r. Leroy Chance, hailed as
the Peerless Leader when commanding
four pennant winners, can laugh up his
sleeve and know that some one else
has travelled in the path that he did
last fall.
Chance, maker of four pennant win
ners and two worlds championships,
couldn't get along with President
Murphy last summer. The result was
that the boss of the Cubs announced
that Chance was released. Then came
"A big change, with Joe Tinker and
many others being let out and Johnny
Evers eventually stepping int
Chances place.
No longer is Chance hailed as the
Peerless Leader. When directing the
Cubs in all the National league bat
ties Chance was a central figure. He
was this ana that, but always the peer
in his circle. What change, though!
ST Louis fandom saw Chance for four
days here.
Instead of directing pennant club
now, Chance is i'm charge of bogus,
misfit aggregation which is certain to
land in eighth place.
Counting Clark Griffith i'm with the
list of ups and downs" a year back,
the Nationals were racing second to
he red Sox. Boston was in front with
a 56-s6 .6Si mark, when Washington
next, 52-3l 633 Then. too, Joe Wood
and Walt Johnson were the class of
the two pitching STATS.
And q. Mack comes in the same di-
vision of winning and losing. Last
year Mack wasn't such much as a
manager. He had allowed his double
worlds champs To explode. much to
the surprise Of everybody. But Mack
came back like the shrewd and smart
Judge he Is.
