Boy Has Remarkable Experience.

Davenport, Ia, Sept. 19-Master
Benny Sampson, fourteen-year-old
boy living in the eastern part of the
city, had the thrilling experience of
being swept for nearly 100 yards
through sewer by storm, passing
into the Mississippi river from its
outlet, and yet lives to tell the tale.
A creek near his house runs through
culvert under Front street and the
levee and heavy rainstorm turned
the drain into raging torrent. Benny
fell into it and before the Mortified on,
, lockers could interfere had disap
peared into the sewer. People who
saw him vanish ran to the river bank
bank and when his body rose to the
surface of the river above the outlet
of the sewer he was rescued with the
aid of skiff and resuscitated.

DEMISE OF S. II. S. TEAM
BALL PLAYERS FAILED TO MAKE
SCHOLARSHIP MARK.
Team Disbands and No More Games
VIII he Played-Prospects Were
Bright for Winning Team.

The baseball team of the Shortridge High
School has been disbanded and all games
called off, The scholarship regulation of
athletes known as the I'D" rule, which was
put in operation this year. is responsible
for the sudden end of the North Side ball
team. Report cards were issued the first of
the week, with the result Of only a small
number of the baseball men being eligible
for membership. Principal Lawrence c.
Hull yesterday. announced that Shortridge
would not have ball team any more this
year.
The very unexpected demise of the base
ball team caused furry at both high
schools, and was the topic of conversation
at the s. HI. s. Teachers were not reticent
about discussing the affair, and the gen.
eral idea seemed to be that the members
of the ball club had become imbued with
the feeling that they were ''it," and would
be given a passing grade anyway. How
ever, the young athletes Were surprised to
find the markings of the faculty unchanged
and the song IF You Can't be Bell Cow,
Fall in Behind truly illustrated.
Prospects for a winning team were never
brighter at the North Side school than now.
Manager Archer Ferguson secured the best
schedule in many seasons. and Captain
Will Conner, who has worked hard for four
years to lead the blue and white club, and
who stood high in scholarship, had most
promising squad. The reason that a sec
ond team could not be brought into service
is the lack of material. which has been
limited all season. The following games
were to have been played: May T. Mobiles
Vile High School. at Noblesville; May 3,
Goshen H. S., here May 16, Spiceland Acad-
emy, at Spiceland; May %. M. T. III. S.;
Crawfordsville III. s., at Charlottesville;
June 13, Wabash College, at Charlottesville.
The Manual Training High School will
in June, and the athletic teams Of this
school are safe from this rule.

BRIGHT PROSPECT FOR BUTLER.

The Butler teams baseball prospects are
brighter than they have been in years Al
though the team has been very successful
so far. having lost only two games out of
eight. ii has not shown up in an altogether
pleasing manner. Yet ii has clearly demon
strated its ability of playing winning ball.
With Spears. Forsythe and Barnett in the
outfeld, Butler has a group which Is as
fast. IL not faster. than the outfield of any
secondary college in the state. Not only
their fielding. but also their batting prom
ises To be above par. Dodson Is catching in
much better form than he did last year
and a base runner must be exceptionally
fast to steal on the little backstop. Cook
has almost forgotten his sore arm and will
be fully capab bic of doing the twirling in
the big games. Marked improvement Is
to be noticed in the work of Brown and Van
Wrinkle. who are invaluable to the pitching
staff.
secondary championship this year. One of
the biggest games of the season will be
played tomorrow afternoon on the college
campus with Wabash Wabash's team is
