KEY WEST STAMP SALES.
More Than 100 Per Cent Better Than
For Same Month of Last Year.

James L. Johnson, of the interna
revenue stamp department.. in state
ment made at Key West says that
the cigar stamp sales for the month
of August show an increase of more
than 100 per cent over August, 1915
There has been a steady increase in
sales for every month, but the month
of August is the first where the in
crease has amounted to over 100 per
cent.
The rise is due to the increase in
the manufacture of cigars. as all the
factories are operating at full ca
pacity, and report a splendid lot of
orders that will provide for the fu-
ture increase Cf output. and which
will keep the sales up equally as
good as in August.

SCHEDULED SEPT. 2, a, 5, 6

Not only has the long g-looked-for mile-a-

miles-an-hour hydropane now is a reality.
The Miss Minneapolis is the speedboat
that has set mark that Is likely to stand

winner, Miss Detroit
Both the Miss Detroit and the Miss
Minneapolis will be seen In action during
the Gold Challenge Cup races at Detroit
September 2, 4. and In competition
with about half dozen of the foremost
rivals in the speed world, representing al
most every section of the country.
Miss Minneapolis made her record per.
formance under perfect conditions during
the 1nterlake Regatta Mt Putin Bay, when
she twice covered half-mile course In 81
seconds or at the rate of SO miles per
hour, and in her four trials averaging 65.7
miles per hour. The first lap was made In

EXPERT DECLARES
A WESTERN TEAM
WILL WIN FLAG
Dopester Figures Out Why
National League Honors
Will Not Be in East
HISTORY WILL REPEAT

The Phlllies might as well quit right now
in their fight for the pennant, for they
haven't chance In the world to land IT,
This also applies to Brooklyn and the
Braves, for a mathematician who spends
his vacations in a mass of figures has doped
ii out that one OF the western clubs in the
National Leagte will put on terrific squirt
and cop the flag in driving finish,
In support of this he points out that
with one exception there has never been
a winning sectional stretch of more than
five years The statstio.an presents the
following figures showing the victories OF
eastern and western clubs: 1S77-7e, East !;
1sSO-S2, West: 1Ss3-S4. East 1sS6-S7,
west; 1ssS-l9OO, East; 190t-O3. West
1904-O5, East; 19o6-10. West 191t-iB,
East. With one exception, when the West
won four pennants ending In 1908 these
figures show that the eastern and western
clubs have won in groups OF two three and
five years.
According TO the figures of this same
statistician, the eastern clubs have won as
9ennants since 1876 and the western clubs
10. The grand averages Of eastern pennant
winning percentages is .667, and that of the
western clubs Is .705. The highest among
the eastern clubs was made by Providence
In 1884 with $50. and the lowest was made
last season when the Phllies won the pen-
naht with ,592. Among the western clubs
Chicago's average of .79S in 1890 is high
and Detroit's ,637 In 1887 ls low.
The mathematical expert is willing to
concede that II western club does come
through with a winning streak It will fall
far below the average of winning western
clubs OF the past.

Maurice u. Mclaughlin the famous Cali

tournament in the east late this week at
the Newport Casino, provided he and his
partner, Ward Dawson get through the
western tourney at Chicago in time.
'Maurie's" reappearanoe in the east after
an absence of year will occasion more
interest than any single event in tennis
has ever done before. Vague rumors have
been drifting eastward during the last year
first that Mclaughlin has gone back and,
second. that the fiery-haired eN-national
champion, the most popular man who ever
set root on n tennis court In the land
has regained his Davis Cup form.
Consequently, interest in Mclaughlin has
increased, although II is hard to believe
that any modlcum could be added to the
already tremendous interest In the dash
ing Californian. He will not compete In
the singles event at Newport, but with
