ANOTHER WADDELL STORY.
Showing How Manager Mack Get
Good Work Out Of "Rube."

One holiday when Connie had Waddell
with the Milwaukee club the Brewers were
beaten in the morning game by Pltche'
Reidy, who is famous for having little In
stock except a slow '.fioater," which fools
the sluggers. ''Rube" sat on the bench
during that game and made remarks re-
fleeing on Reidy's ability.
ANY ore can do that kind of pitching,
he said contemptuously. land I'll just show
you how easy it is this afternoon
True to his word, "Rube" pitched the
afternoon game without his usual speed,
n erely tossing the balls with a slow curve
like Redy's. BY luck and some good heid-
ing he got away with the trick for several
Innings without a score against him. But
Connie perspiring with apprehension
He begged ''Rube'' to use his speed and
mix EN- up little, if nothing more. But
Waddell was in one of his famous stub
born moods and declined to listen to any
advice orders.
IT'S a cinch," said he What do 1
need of speed? I never knew what slow
ball pitcher | was before. Think of the
years l will last at this gait!''
Most managers would have pulled Wad-
dell out of the box to save the game. and
perhaps disciplined him for insubordina-
ton. That would have been the end of
"Rube's' connection with the team. Next
day he would have been among the MISS
ing. and in a week or two he would have
turned up in some 3x9 club. But that was
not Mack's way.
In the sixth inning the batters began to
bang the ball hard but some more lucky
fielding prevented runs. and then Connie
got in his work. Between innings he slid
unnoticsd over to the nearby bleachers and
had short conversation with a rooter who
had been believing all through the game
with a voice that could be heard in Keno
sha. When "Rube" began to send in dew
drops again in the seventh the man with
the voice suddenly yelled:
"Oh. you big stiff. You've lost your
armr'
waddel stopped in dazed way. looked
over toward the bleachers and yelled back
I'm show you whether it's gone!' Then
taking a hitch in his knickerbockers, he
shot the ball across the plate and never
let up during the remaining three in
nings. Six of the nine batters struck out.
none reached first base and Milwaukee won
the game. That is only one of the ways
in which Connie gets results which others
cannot.

GRAND CIRCUIT TRoTs.
Sweet Marie Captured the Roger Will
Eams Stake

grand circuit meeting at Providence yes

contested. Sweet Marie won the Roger
Williams stake of 5000 though she had to
step the third heat in 2.O6k. second faster
than the best trotting record of the year,
made Tuesday by Ozanam. Tiverton took
the first two heats of this race. When the
horses came out for the third heat 1t was
seen that Mcdonald was up behind Sweet
Marie in place of Smith, and the change
proved beneficial. for the mare took the
next three heats and the race.
The PA pace was the hardest fought
event on the card ana was unfinished. Don
Carr took the first heat, but Baron Grafton
nOsed out Don Carr at the wire in the
second. Bad News finished strong In the
third. beating Don Carr in drive. Don
Carr took the fourth. but was beaten out in
the fifth and SIXTH. Belle Star was the
favorite in the 213 pace. She broke badly
in the first heat. finishing seventh, but took
the next two heats handily. Tuna had an
easy time of it in the 2:16 trot. Prince
Alert made an unsuccessful attempt to
beat 1.59k, the best he could do being 2OOk.

Hang Up Ciphers for Six Innings.

The Gonzaga and Norris Peters played a
remarkable six-inning game of ball last
evening. neither side having scored a run
when it became too dark to continue to
play. Cantwell and Wilkerson, the oppos-
ing pitchers, were in splendid form. the
latter allowing but three hits, two by
Shortstop Kelly, while the former gave
but four to the Norris Peters boys. Both
teams felded brilliantly. an error being
charged to each team. The game was wit

BELGRADE LEVEE BREAKS.
Live Stock Drowned and Residence
Washed Away.

Nincennes, Ind, March 31.-The
great Belgrade levee broke eight miles
north OF here during the day, causing
heavy damage. Many houses were
washed from their foundations and
much live stock drowned The break
increased the water at Westport
where the food is in the second story
OF every house. The town has been
abandoned. The water is still rising.
Two-thirds of Lawrence county is un-
der water, in many places twenty feet
deep The Baltimore and Ohio South
western tracks are washed out for
more than mile and several large
trestles are in danger. The river has
passed all records of floods. Tele-
phone and telegraph wires are down
and communication with the adjacent
country is cut off hard rain is
falling.
The damage caused by the breaking
OF the Belgrade leyee will be enormous
on the Illinois side. though it has re-
lieved the Indiana side. Messengers
have arrived by boats from the flooded
districts asking for volunteers to as

RUSSIAN FORCE TRAPPED.
Rumored Japs Have Body Of the En-
envy Cut OF.

Chefoo, March 31.-Reports received
here from the front say that the Jap
anese have defeated a combined force
of Russian infantry and Cossack cav
airy.
The battle took place near Chongju,
where a Cossack band was defeated
by the Japanese a few days before.
1t is stated that in this second bat
tie the entire Russian force was driven
southwark toward the Chongcheng
river with heavy loss and is now sur
rounded on every side.
III ii is true, as reported, that the
retreat was through the Kasan valley
there is little hope that any of the
Russian forces will escape to Manchu
ria The Japanese have possession OF
the road northeast at Kusong and with
a superior force can close in on the
enemy.
A dispatch to this point from New
chwang asserts that the Russians were
able to retire on the western road
toward Wiju, but this would leave
them open to capture, as the japanese
gunboats, now at the mouth of the
Yalu river, will prevent the Russians
from crossing between YongamphC
and Win. They could not go further
north in Korea across the Yalu with
out meeting superior force OF the
japanese army.

ATTEMPT TO iMPRlsON THE
PORT ARTHUR FLEET.

Toxic. March 31.-Admiral Togo's
recital of the second attempt to bottle
up the Port Arthur squadron and the
sixth attack on that port reached To
kio during the day. Admiral Togo's
report is as follows
"The united squadron again left for
Port Arthur last Saturday. On Sun
day morning at 1880 we commenced
preparations for blocking the harbor
entrance The four steamers wnlch
were to be sunk, escorted by hotilla
OF torpedo boat destroyers, advanced
to the entrance, facing the enemy
searchlights About two miles from
the entrance the bottling-up squadron
was discovered by the enemy. En-
posed TO the fire of the fortresses ON
either side and also TO that OF the en-
emy's ships on guard and braving
these dangers the four steamers ran
into the waterway at the mouth or the
harbor. One OF the steamers-the
Chiyo Maru-anchored about half a
chain from the west shore or Golden
hill. blew itself up and sank. The Sec
ond one-the Fukui Maru-passing to
the left of the Chiyo Maru, advanced
a short distance and was about TO
come to anchor when she was struck
by a torpedo from the enemy's de-
stroyers. She sank in that position.
The third one-the Yahiko Maru-
went TO the left of the Fukui Marn and
blew herself up and sank. The fourth
steamer-the Yoneyama Maru-man-
aged to reach the harbor entrance and,
colliding against the stern OF one OF
the enemy's torpedo destroyers, sue
ceeded in reaching the middle passage
by passing between the Chiyo Maru
and the Fnkui Maru. AT that moment
One Of the Enemys Torpedoes
struck and sunk her. Her momentum
brought her toward the left shore and
with her left bow toward the left side
she sank sidewise. To have accom-
plished the work under such great dis
advantages and dangers must be con-
sidered a success and should command
admiration IL Is to be regretted, how
ever. that owing TO some space left
