Catching Wild Horses.

From Country Life in Ameri,...
 The bronco is born for the saddle. but is given to resisting his fate, and en- deavors to make reciprocal unpleasant- ness with which human leiags are associ- ated in his mind. Indians first captured him by the simple process of walking him down through days and nights of wild dashes and short rests of interrupted meals, thirst and anxiety, to final ex- haustion. The white mans system of catching wild horses Is essentially the same. Two or more men with supplies and swift horses work together. When herd is sighted one man follows it for all he is worth, while the others make camp When the horse of the first man is exhausted he returns and another takes his place The herd, kept on the jump with little chance to eat. soon becomes tired out and is then easily driven to the corral This method is practicable be- cause the herd while fleeing returns to the same general locality.

SLACPILE NOTES

sohian's hit at Memphis yesterday for four bags was the longest ever seen in that herp When the boy with the long oan,a doas find the ball he drives 1t hard.
 E,red Moore made the only error yes terday, but any one who knows him Will he willing to guarantee that it was on q hard chance He stops more base hits than any other fielder in the league and makes phenomenal plays in nearly every game. He goes after chances that other fielders do not even consider.
 If looks as if Father Vaughan had his eve on the ball again, He hit nara ana often yesterday. All the Barons fatten- ed their batting averages by the game in Memphis.
 Goodwin will probably work today against the Barons at West End. Gin eer' Clarke is about dre on the firing line this afternoon, and the chances are that he will defeat Memphis
 The Barons have played the Memphlahs seven games this season, won six Of them and tied the seventh. The score of the first game in Memphis was to Tn the Rarons' favor; the second was tie, and tho Barons won the third to l. At home the Barons defeated Memphis to in the opening game, ' to Tn the sec ond game, to in Saturdays game, and % to in yesterdays game.
 Brown lost the first game to Cowboy Clarke. Suggs tied the second against Ginger. and Herr lost the third to Rasan At home "Ginger" defeated Goodwin in the opening game. Ragan defeated Brown in the second game, Pylant took Suggs' scalp in the third game, and yesterday "Cowboy', Clarke and Fitzpatrick worked against Streit.
 Little Rock comes tomorrow for a se- ries of four games. Dale Gears team has won a majority of it's games on the road and has shown higher percentage since May 20 than New Orleans, Shreve- port or Memphis. It Is the only western team that has not struck Birmingham.
 Harry Matthews, known in fandom as Matty, is the life of a ball game. He never admits defeat until the last ball has been thrown, and he can always get the rooters worked up to fury with very little exertion All in all. he is the best catcher in the league, and Wilkie Clarke hasn't a superior.
 The Barons feared that they had a weak pitching stan month ago. Now the other teams do all the fearing.

A Woman Undertaksr.
From the Pilgrim.

From the Pilgrim.
 There is probably no time when the quiet, gentle ministrations of woman are more appreciated than when death enters home, and it is rather surprising that so few women are funeral directors. The prejudice against women physicians is rapidly disappearing, and although nc prejudice exists against the woman un- dertaker it undoubtedly required courage on the part of the first women who en- tered the profession Mrs. Florence Duley of Des Moines, Ia, made special study of anatomy while teaching school, and when, shortly after her marriage, her husband was required to take a state examination in tha subject in order to secure a license, Mrs. Duley not only coached him most successfully, but se- cured a license herself, and now assists her husband by specially caring for wo- men and children.

SUBWAY FLOODED
 BY BROKEN MAIN Entire System Tied Up in New
 York RAILS SHORT GROUPED Series of Explosions and Electric Flashes Endangers Lives of Many Passengers, But All Escape
 UninJured.
RAILS SHORT GROUPED

New York, June 11.-A break in the forty-eight inch high pressure water main in Park avenue near Forty-second street today resulted in the flooding of the block just below the Grand Central Sta ton, the street car tunnel and the sub way the stoppage of traffic in the sub way for many hours. serious damage to the underground road and great dan ger to many passengers. The damage is estimated at $10,0OO. Incidentally the break resulted in the caving in of Park avenue over an area twenty feet by eight, from which ran cracks that mean danger to adjacent buildings.
 Water was first seen trickling between the paving blocks near the entrance to the Fourth avenue tunnel through which the surface cars run. Almost immediate ly there came heavy explosion under ground and a moment later Ssle water gushed forth in a cataract, pouring into Forty-second street, which was soon cov- cred to a depth of several inches. The rising water in the subway soon made connection between the third rail and the outer rails. short circuiting the electric current which was attended by series of explosions that endangered the lives of those who were in the cars. The air was pungent with the smoke of burning insulators and bright flashes from wheels and rails were continuous. One train got to within a block of station and then came to final stop. The passengers got out and waded through the water to the station. They avoided the third rail and no one was injured.
 Gradually the entire service south of l Seventy-second and to Fourteenth street was shut off and later the entire service l was discontinued. Finally after the flood l had continued for four hours and a half l foreman for @ construction company, who had supervision of installation of mains in Park avenue, pointed out a gate at Third avenue and Fortytsecond streets which on being closed shut off 1 the torrent. Traffic was not resumed un- l til after midnight

Made Eighteen Hits.

Eighteen hits totalling twenty-seven bases produced twenty runs, while the quartet of tallies coralIed by the Mem phil were rather in the garb of gifts from the Barons Inasmuch as oscar Streit is a fellow citizen and former team pal of the Birmingham outfit local critics were inclined to regard the lombard ment as harsh treatment But Manager Vaughan seemed determined to create new record of some kind and sent his forces without pity against the helpless pitcher causing the local felders to grow groggy from chasing the sphere. The sprints around the bases of the Barons also caused fatigue as the mer- curry was sizzling in the tubes, making hurry-up methods dangerous.
 Clarke Overcome by Heat.
 R. Clark succumbed to the heat in the sixth after he had allowed two hits and was succeeded by Fitzpatrick who pre- vented further hitting and runs. Hafford started the performance in the first in- ming by singling and made the tour of the bases on Miller's sacrifice. Vaughans s pass and Matthews single, Vaughan also scoring when Tamsett fumbed Dele hantys grounder. Hafford was the most tired man of the day, as he nave Ave separate trips around the bags during the afternoon.
 Schiaps home run in the third travelled farther than any home run seen here in years. The ball passed over the left field fence and is the first of it's kind this season. Whistlers absence broke up the infield of Memphians and the Barons took advantage of Collins unfamiliarity Tsif rct nd miserable for him by dumping bunts and grounders in his direction. Three times the base was left uncovered in this man. ner. The teams left for Birmingham to- right to resume the schedule. About 4,000 people saw the game.
