BY FOREST FIRES
FLOODS ARE CAUSED

1t will also be recalled that during one
week, ending May rs, the winds were
westerly to southerly, and that that
week was particularly cloudless, but as
soon as the easter1y TO northerly winds
again set in the sky was overcast near
ly the whole time. These forest fires,
nearly 1000 miles away, furnished the
nuclei for the disaster at Pacolet, and
made the cloudburst possible, in con-
nection with the high relative humidity
of the air, the barometric pressure fav-

one run to the good. and it was In the
last half of the ninth inning.
Dahlen was playing third base for
Chicago. The man at bat hit a sharp
liner down to second. Bad Bill start
ed for il, and at the same instant the
man on second started for third base.
The liner was a clipper and the ball
struck Bad BilPs hands and bounded
out. 1t struck the ground ten feet
away, with Bill right after it. Once
he got his hands on 1t, and without
stopping to look where he was throw
ing Bill let the ball fly to third base.
Most ball players, after fumbling the
ball, would have tossed it to the pitch
er or thrown it home If. after looking
around, they saw that the base runner
had started to try to score.
In this case the base runner, after
touching third, went on for twenty
feet and then stopped for an, instant
see what had become of the ball. He
saw il coming straight as a die for
third base and went back there like a
fash. But the ball beat him by ten
feet. Unfortunately for the game and
also for Bad Bill. Dahlen had taken ii
for granted that Eagan would throw
the ball to the home plate, and was
not looking for it to be thrown to him.
Consequently the ball went by him.
going within four inches of his nose
and striking the grandstand far behind.
The result was that both base run
ners got safely home before Dahlen
recovered himself and the ball, and the
game was lost to Chicago.
Arson was furious and Immediately
after the game gave Bad Bill his re-
lease for making that throw. AS a
matter of fact il was the best possible
play under the. circumstances, and
Dahlen rather than Bad Bill was to
blame for it not coming out as planned.
If Dial had thought as quickly as Bill
the game might have been settled right
then and there.

BRAINS IN BASEBALL
They Count There Just as in Every
thing Else.
From the Chicago Tribune.


From the Chicago Tribune.
Brains count in baseball as much as
they do in anything else. The man
who can take in the whole situation at
a glance and at the same instant suit
his actions to his thought will win
games where an equally good player
who does not think will lose them.
Here is an instance which stands
alone in all the annals of baseball
with a single exception.
In the days when the Cincinnati Reds
were at the top of the heap they went
up to Wilmington, o., to play an ex
hibitiop game. The Wilmington team
was made up entirely Of amateur play
ers. The Wilmington pitcher was a
young chap named David Reese and
the Wilmington second baseman was II
college boy named Lynne Smith. 1t
was young Smith who turned out TO
be the hero of the most sensational
play ever made in the national game.
The Reds went up to the little town
in the full flush Of success, determined
to have lot of sport with the local
players. The Reds won the toss ana
went to bat. Young Reese, the WIZ
nington pitcher, was a first-class anna
teur, but naturally he was badly rat
tied at the idea of facing the best team
in the National League, and for the
first few minutes his work was poor.
The first two of the Reds who went
to bat hit base hits. The third man
got base on balls, and everybody on
the Cincinnati nine began TO grin
broadly at the fun ahead. All the bases
were full and there was nobody out.
1t was huge snap--a regular picnic
Then old Bug Holiday, the fourth
man on the batting list of the Reds.
picked up his club and sauntered up 10
the plate. blood in his eye. The first
ball young Reese pitched Bug struck
at. What is more he hit 1t and sent
the ball flying straight out over second
base-a hit that under most circum-
stances would have been good for a
couple Of bases.
The minute the ball left Bugs bat
all three OF the men on bases started
al the top OF their speed for the next
base. But they figured without their
host.
Young Lynne Smith, second basemsn
for Wilmington, was equal 10 the
emergency. He Jumped straight up In
20 the air and made a desperate lunRe

bail stuck, and when he came down

Columbia, 8. c., June 1S.-FolIowing
the recent floods, which cost so many
lives and resulted in such an enormous
loss to property in Kansas and South
Carolina, a scientific statement as to the
probable cause of such conditions and
which make such foods possible, is not
untimely. Section Director j. w.
Bauer of the Columbia Weather Bu-
reau. formerly of the New York and
of the Mount Washington stations, in
an interview yesterday, said the great
forest fires which have ragged through
e.,t New York and New England for
the past few weeks are the primary
causes of the recent cloudburst. His
statement is both interesting and in
structive.
The cadse that produces ordinary
rain is fairly well understood in recent
years. or, to state it in different WORDS
mateoroIogists agree that before con-
densation of the vapor of the atmos-
phere Is possible to produce even the
smallest drop OF rain, there must be
nucleus Of dust or some foreign mat
Ter on which the condensation takes
place: the drop then enlarges by add
tionai. or accretional condensation IN
IN its weight is enough to cause It to
fell to the ground.
II is possible for a drop Of water 10
grow until the very instant It touches
the ground. To produce so heavy
rainfall there must. OF course, be
nearly saturated atmosphere and
plentiful supply OF dust particles 70
furnish the nuclei. In this connection
a theory is offered that may explain
the heavy rains Of the past week 10 this
vicinity. and AZ the same time 70 the
correlation Of the vast expanse OF the
atrnosphere, and how condition OF
drought al one place may cause Moods

Weak Spots in Brave Men.

1t is related of Missouri engineer al

the blacklist storm at night with
washouts all around him, but that he
is afraid to go home alone in the dark
If someone is not at the roundhouse to

Ave inches, and this estimate is within
reason. the total would amount to the
enormous volume of 40S, 49,, 900 cubic
yards of water that was hurled, in the
short space of three or four hours, by
rivulets that became creeks, by creeks
that were swollen to rivers, and by
rivers that resembled floods, into the
narrow valley of the Pacolet. Is it
wonder that the waters rose, first
slowly. then faster and faster, until
there seemed a wall of rushing, foam,
ing, angry and irresistible force, and
that the mills, houses, bridges, trees
and everything else in its pathway
were swept away like Lilliputian play
things by the ruthless feet of a giant?

MAKING CIGARS
in CHARLESTON.
Good Wages Paid and the Work Is
Light and PleaSant-What Is
Said of 1t.

One of the most important OF the
new institutions started in Charleston
and ia the entire state, is the new
plant which the American Cigar Co.,
opened about eight weeks ago In Char.
lesion.
The Company is employing young
women and teaching them the art OF
making cigars. They have at present
only alb out two hundred and fifty, but
can give employment to five thousand.
The work is clean, healthy and easy to
learn, and the amount of money that
the girls can make is far greater than
in any other trade or employment.
In six weeks time the young ladies
make from 81 to $6 and IN three months
make from 81 TO $40 per week. A very
strong effort is being made by the
management to secure only the high
est class of young laaa::a@ rho are forced
to earn their own living.
The Commercial Club Of Charleston
and a number of the leading ministers
are assisting the Company by sending
them all the worthy young ladies who
are in need of employment, and they
have given the concern their hearty
approval.
In order to break the monotony of
work piano is played in the building
every afternoon and the girls are al
lowed to sing while at work. An ell
dcrly lady acts as Matron and one of
the leading physicians of Charleston
is employed to treat the girls free OF
charge.
OF course no negroes are employed
and everything possible is done to make
the work both profitable and pleasant.
Good board is secured for girls from
the country at very low rates.
