WILL MACK KEEP
OUT Of DISGRACE?
His Athletics Are Within One Of Tying
Record for Successive De-

UMPIRE BATTING TALK

NEW YORK. Aug. s.-Connie Mack
and his Athletics have just one more
chance today to escape the ignomy
of tieing the American league record
for successive defeats. They have
lost nineteen straight and have won
but five games out of the last 81.
The record for successive defeats
is twenty, established long ago by
Boston and thought safe against any
assault Mack will play his one re-
naming card, Joe Bush, today in an
effort to win from the Tigers. Phila-
delphia has been the one soft spot
this year in league fitted with fight
ing teams. ST. Louis and Washing
ton, though close to the cellar, have
caused all kinds of trouble for the
league leaders. But when an Amer
y lean league team pulls into Phila-
delphia this year it figures that only
possible bad weather stands in the
way of four straight.
To Talk About EMPIRES.
The question Of umpire batting
comes up in the National league to-
morrow when the club owners and

be called to task.
President Tener has called meet
ing of the league here tomorrow and
the question will be thoroughly dis
cussed.

New Law Will Force
 Mines to Stop Work

SEATTLE, July 23-Experienced mining men of this city declare that the passage of the general re- venue bill now pending in congress will have the effect of closing down score or more of the low grade copper mines of Alaska The pro posed law carries with it provi- sion for a tax of from one to three per cent on all refined copper IL will also have the effect of driving 30 or more ore carriers now operat- ing to the coast of Alaska from this city out of business.
 Protests are being sent to Wash ington from both of the commercial bodies of this city, as well as by individuals. The manufacturers as- sociation is also joining in the pro tests. R w Baxter, vice-president of the Alaska Steamship company, is quoted as having said that a re- duction by taxation of $15 per ton in the price of copper indicates the penalizing of American industry for the benefit of foreign countries.
