White Knocks Kansas Out in Third
Buffalo Likes Him.

Charley White had an easy time
with Kid Kansas in Buffalo last night,
knocking him out in the third round.
Kansas. was licked from the first bell,
going down heavily in round one. The
gong saved him. White battered
away at the Buffalo man in the sec
ond round, and finished him early in
the third with stout right Wallop
to the jaw.
There will not be any undue aduIa-
ton accorded White for his quick VIC
tory except in Buffalo, where Kansas
has made a great record, stringing up
a succession of knockouts that was
impressive. By his showing against
Jimmy Duffy and Kansas, White has
become a prime favorite in the New
York city, and has been promised
some better bouts in the future.
An effort is being made now to
match him with Young Shugrue, a
New Yorker, who is tough, willing
scrapper, able to take punishment
and deliver it.
If you like Packey Mcfarland ready
excuses can be secured for his failure
to go through with the battle he had
scheduled with Mike Gibbons in New
York.
On the other hand, if your SYM
pathies are with Gibbons, just as
many excuses can be found for the
St. Paul man, and all the blame can
be laid on Packey.
1t appears, from a disinterested
standpoint, that neither was overly
anxious for the bout, and that each
was waiting for the other to commit
some technical breach which would
mean a cancellation of the battle.
Each is charging that the other
ran out of the bout, but it is prob
ably true that each started the back
sliding movement at about the same
moment. Their affairs should not
cause any one to suffer from nervous

Manager Callahan will have one more
important addition to a pitching
corps that is already effective.
Dave Roth is the name of this
pitching person, and he earned salary
from the Baltimore team of the Inter-
national League last year for puzzling
the batters with deceptive shoots de-
livered from his right hand.
Bob Shawkey, now leading MEM
Der of Connie Mack's rifle corps, was
a teammate of Roth, and Canny Con-
ME passed the latter up when he
came to draw one pitcher from the
Baltimore club. Mack took this &C
ton in the face of adverse comments
from every player and expert who
had seen the two International Leag-

Callahan was attracted by the record

pitcher, and was just the right-hand-

Gets Light From the Railway
Company

Because the town plant was made
quate, Thurmout for the first time was
lighted on Saturday night, August 22nd,
by power furnished from the big Security
power plant Of the Hagerstown and
Frederick Railway Company. The Rail
way Company gives the current to the
town at a fixed price and the town lights
the streets and distributes the current to
its private consumers as before, over the
the cily's wires.
For the past several weeks the street
lights of Thurmont could be burned only
few hours each night, and as this was
very unsatisfactory condition a con-
tract was entered into with the railway
company.
The Hagerstown and Frederick Rail-
way COMPANY is now furnishing the cur
rent for lighting in the following cities:
Hagerstow and Frederick, commercial
lighting; Emmiisburg, Smithburg, Mid
dIetown, Wiliamsport. Funkstown and
Braddock, street lighting.

War Shuts Down the Copper
Market.

The marketing of thirty-fve tons ol
copper concentrate OF the New London
mine, OF the United Milling, Mining and
Copper Company, of Frederick county
has been temporarily held up becanse OF
the present European War. All expor-
tations of copper from the United States
with the declaration of war in Europe
practically stopped for the present time.
All of the copper mines in this country
have cut their production down mater
ialy The mines along Lake Superior
produce only about so per cent. OF their
normal output
The concentrate of the New London
mine is now ready for shipment. II is
particularly rich because of the new vein
which was unearthed at the 3oofoot
level No prices are being quoted on
copper, and there has been big. steady
slump in the price which is now being
offered for the product.
Negotiations have been entered INTO
with the l.. Voglestein & Company of
Chrome, New Jersey, where the concen-
trate will be shipped for smelling pur-
poses The company is anxious to get
the concentrate from the local mine for
the reason that it has qualities of iron
and lime which form ideal Auxing con-
ditons. The use of this concentrate
eliminates the necessity of buying
flux.
In spite of the fact that the European
War has stopped the expectation of
copper, the local company is putting on
mote underground laborers. 1t is felt
in mining circles that just as soon as the
war is on in full force, South America
will demand all OF the copper that this
country has been exporting to Europe.
Again, war will in the future create de-
mand for copper
When the air has cleared it is possible
that the company will employ about
fifty men on the New London mine.
Because of the city Improvements, and
the operation Of the canning factories and
other work, there is scarcity of la
bnrers Yet with all ofthis the company
viii hardly import foreign labor. While
the foreign labor brings better results at
the first, the company believes that ma
tive labor, because OF its stability, is bet
ter for this mine. The company will
train its mines.
