Dewey gave orders for the Ship to sail
for Gibraltar. Arrived there, our surgeon
went ashore and got two army surgeons
of the British garrison to come off to the
ship and consult with him regarding the
commanders condition. They failed to
discover the cause of the patients suffer-
ing. We remained at Gibraltar for a time
and proceeded from there to Malta. At
Malta it was decided to take Commander
Dewey to the hospital. 1t was there de-
cided by enc of the doctors that the COM
mander was suffering from abscess of the
liver.
"A surgical operation vas decided upon,
but the doctors informed the sufferer that
the chances were greatly against his re-
I covery. Dewey made his will and pre-
pared for death. He dictated to me let
teas to menjbers of his family, and they
were mailed. l also, under his instruc-
tons, drew up a detailed statement as to
his private affairs. so that there might be
no necessary trouble after his death. The
urgeons performed the operation, and,
of course, the use of the knife made the
patient weaker than ever. Those who as
sisted IN the painful work became con
WINGED afterwards that Dewey could not
long survive, end they told him so. He
received the statement calmly and COM
plsted his arrangements for passing out.
! We stayed there a month, during which
time l attended Dewey in the hospital. He
showed no signs of recovery, and so final
ly we had to leave him, expecting never
to see him again. We sailed for the east
and spent a year or two in Chinese wa
ters. The next time | heard of my old
commander he was in charge of another

COOL AUDACITY.

owners of clubs in every league in the
country. Two years ago it was said that
baseball was simply suffering from a
temporary lull in interest and that more
attention would be paid to the game in
another year.
Last year every one insisted that it
was the war that was to blame and
that slim ~attendanceS would end as
soon as the lovers Of the game could
find time to think of something be-
sides battles and conquests, but in
spite of these plausible excuses there
is not one of the league managers who
does not fear that there is something
more serious at the bottom of the mat
ter and who does not believe that some
most radical changes will have to be made
if the national game is once more to oc-
cupy first place in the hearts of the pat
rons of athletic sports.
The consideration of this question oc-
cupied nearly all the time Of the league
magnates at the winter meeting and all
went home with the firm conviction that
a solution to the problem must be found
before the opening of another season.
During the sessions of the last convention
several suggestions were made. Presl-
dent Brush of the Cincinnati club still in
sists thai in clean BALI is the only sal
walton of the league and that more vigor-
Gus measures should be adopted this year
and every year until rOWdyism is entirely
removed from the game. While President
Hart of the Chicago club, Soden of Bos-
ton, Reach of Philadelphia and Ebbets of
Brooklyn all support Mr.. Brush in his
fight for clean sport no formal action
looking towards such reforms as he pro-
jected has yet been taken. There can be
10 doubt that in one sense of the word
Mr.. Brush is right and that kicking, OBJ
scenity and vulgarity have had an effect
in killing the sport but the managers will
make a mistake if they look only to this
quarter for their explanation of the
trouble fragrant rowdyism has undoubt-
eddy helped to lessen the gate receipts but
stubbornness in management has also
played a more important part. This was
particularly noticeable in New York
where President Freedman ran things
to suit himself and where the patronage
of the game fell off to such an extent as
to make the best losers in the league
tremble. Personalities may be all right
in their place and personal grievances
may sometimes be considered but lovers
of baseball will not consent to have their
sport spoiled by the introduction of such
a factor in the management of the games.
A similar state of affairs, in a lesser eX-
tent perhaps, has existed in other cities,
and the fact that the absolute control of
the New York club is to be placed in the

of the front car. There he looked over.
The engine had disappeared.
IL seemed impossible that it could have
run ahead of a train that was going along
at something like 20 or so miles an
, hour, but he lost no time in trying to
fathom the mystery. He went scrambling
back over the tops of the cars. setting the
brakes as he went. Half way to the ca
boose he met his mate. There was not a
moments time for words. The train must
be brought under control at once to save
1t from disaster. They set to work upon
the brakes with all their strength, and
at last the frightful speed at which they
were going slowly decreased.
When the long line of cars came to a
standstill the two men got off, and went
forward to find out how the engine had
so strangely disappeared. Then they
found another surprise. Although the
boiler. fireboX and cab We're gone en-
tirely, the trucks remained apparently
%uninjured.
The men We're al a loss to explain what
had happened. That such a thing could
have occurred without their knowledge
| seemed to them impossible. People living
near the road We're reused from sleep and
went back with the brakemen to try to
find the engine and the men who had been
on it. When they reached the top of the
grade they found that the roadbed had
been !loosened; tina the ballast had been
scooped out and the ties splintered. But
the missing engine was nowhere to be
SEEN Finally they found the scalded and
mangled bodies of the engineer, fireman,
conductor, and brakeman. The brakeman
was still alive, but died without recover
ing consciousness Finally the big piece
of boiler plate was found in the woods,
200 feet from the loosened spot in the
roadbed Scattered fragments of the en-
gine We're found in many different places.
At any rate all this was the story the
brakemen told.
The heirs of the dead brakCmen failed
to get a penny for damages, for the jury
after long Elaboration over the strange
disaster failed to agree. The case is go
ing to be tried again some time or other,

average about s., 800 a year and as
there is scarcely a team that carries less
than fifteen men it is not too much to say
that the salary list of any large club will
reach $35, 900 by the end of the year. While
this is an important item of expense it is
but a small matter compared to the other
charges that must me met by the box
Office.
First there are the large bonuses
that are paid for players. These average
from $500 to $4,000 each, while the amounts
that are received for players that are re-
leased are by no means large in compari-
son. Then there are the salaries that
must be paid to other officials of the club,
including police, ticket sellers, gate
keepers and ushers, and this item, with
the expense of the grounds, care, in
surance, etc, will foot up to nearly $780,
600. The cost of uniforms and balls,
which cost the club 1926 apiece, will not
be less than So, 500, while the advertising
will cost fully $1,000.
The expenses of the club while away
from home make another important
item. At home baseball players are not
usually an extremely particular set Of
men. They pay their own board and they
are satisfied with humble fare. AS soon
as they start upon a trip, however, they
become difficult to please and nothing but
the best will satisfy them. Sleepers are
a necessity, carriages must always be
provided and if an effort should be made
to put them up at any but the best hotels
a strike would be precipitated. These
expenses, including mileage, are not less
than $4,000 or $13, 900. The league dues
and the other incidentals will make the
total expense of running a club fully
800, 600, to say nothing of bonuses and
other items hat cannot be fOreSeen at
the beginning of a season.
1t is in view of these facts that the
league magnates have decided to make
a radical change in the management of
their clubs and the reforms that have
been adopted in New York should be
forced upon every club where such weak
ness has predominated in the manage
ment. The league magnates are men of

hands of job B. Day leads one to hope
that the league magnateS are sensible of
their failings and that they have deter
mined to remedy them.
If they have come to this realization
of their weakness and will systematically
proceed TO cut away all the deadwood and
Wreckage of the past three years, not for
getting that the public demand is for
eighteen karat baseball, the sun of pros
perity will rise once more, but If these
facts are ~disregarded the purses Of the
various magnates will be compelled to
stand a worse drain than any they have
Vet experienced.
The rooters who attend the baseball
games have but little idea of what 1t
costs to run a professional team but
those who are posted in such matters
insist that much more han a million
dollars is spent every year by he Ma
tional league. The expenses each time
two clubs come together is about $1,000
and a day of rain means the loss of about
that mount. A little thought n the ad-
dition of d few figures Will show that the
estimate is an EXTREMITY conservative one.

train was picked up, and was soon jog
ging along on time.
The conductor and the brakeman did
not go back to their usual places in the
cabOOse, but remained on the engine. 1t
was a few minutes after leaving the
siding that one of the two brakemcn who
remained at their posts of duty felt a
check to the train, as if steam had been
suddenly shut off and the air brakes APP
piled. Then came a jerk. and the train
sped on again. He knew that they had
reached the top of a grade, and supposed
the engineer a simply checked the
speed, as usual, before beginning the de-
scent.
A little later the two brakcmcn found
hat the train was going at a tremendous
rate of speed. 1t was very plain to them
that something was the matter. One of
the two determined to go forward and
find out what it was. He climbed to the
roof of the caboose and started to run
along until he came to the forward end
