Texas league flag.
Good Pitching Staff.
The work OF hurting the Bears TO

month OF July. He won six games
and lost five during the time that
he was with Mobile and won one in

Chicago.-Directors of the Chicago
board of trade have voted to test the
constitutionality of the grain trade act
which vests in the secretary of agri-
culture the. power to regulate dealings
in future deliveries of grain.
The law which is to be tested was
recently enacted by congress to become
effective November I, and was intended
to replace a former law declared nm.
constitutional by the United States
supreme court. Action against the
previous law was not taken by the
board of trade; but by individual men,
bers. In the supreme courts decision
as to the former act, Chief Justice Taft
said the suit should have been filed bv
the board itself, and. such a course ia
being followed in the, present case.
The attorney for the board of trade
Henry S. Robbins, has given an opinion
mat the new act is unconstitutional
basing his opinion upon the same
grounds on which he had Obtained

unconstitutional the former act. known
as the Capper-Tncher law.
The legislative committee of all tho
Leading grain exchanges in the United,
