BASEBALL "soUEEzED PLAY.
Famous Feature of Present Develop
 ment of National Game.

In "The Strategy of the Ball Field" in the October Everybody's, Allen Sangree says:
 This self-immolation, so vital in 8 twentieth century baseball mechanism, has reached consummation in the cele- brated squeeze play as invented and op- erated by Clark Griffith of the New York American League club. who uses 1t when there is one out man on third base and a run sorely needed. The common meas ure in such an emergency is to try for hit or long fly. The latter being most likely, the runner clings to his base so that he may start home the instant the ball is caught. But when a signal Is giv- en for the squeeze the runner at third begins a furious sprint just as the pitcher winds up If this should be a prolonged effort-and some pitchers gyrate their arms three or four seconds-the runner Is half way home before the ball is re- leased In any event spectators are treat ed to the rare and thrilling sight of a man rushing to apparently certain doom. Success, of course, depends upon the bat ters ability to hit that ball. He does not attempt to make single but merely meets the sphere, which rolls in front of the plate. This is quite far enough to permit the runner scoring, for 1t Is we'll nigh impossible to field the ball and tag him. The batter expects to be retired at first on this sacrifice, though often the pitcher and catcher are so rattled that they tumble, leaving both runners safe. Accurately done, the squeeze Is more fascinating to watch than the execution of a Mergenthaler linotype machine

cloudburst of 1872.

The heavy rainfall of the last two days and the flooded condition of the streets in the vicinity of the Union passenger sta ton yesterday reminds me of the cloud burst that occurred in this city about the middle of July, 1s72' said Capt Frank P o'Brien yesterday
 "The waterspout struck Red mountain on the Southside near the end of Eigh- teenth street and the water advanced on the city in a solid bank like a wave on the ocean sweeping trees and everything before 1t.
 At the railroad crossing on Eighteenth street the body of water struck loeomo- tive and turned 1t completely from the track
 People who witnessed the phenomenon say the solid bank of water coming down Eighteenth and Nineteeth streets appeared to be ten feet deep.
 Just after the downpour the water stood eighteen inches deep on the floor of the old Relay house that stood at that time on Nineteenth street on the present site of the Union passenger station"

 NOT YET ADULTERATED. Jam isn't jam in these late days,

Street Car Suggestions.

'I don't care to be regarded as a kicker" said man as he stepped on a car Friday night, but I do say that this company ought to adopt some better means of enabling people to distinguish at night the cars on the different lines
 Three times tonight I was obliged to stand out in the middle of the avenue during a down pour of rain, waiting to see whether the approaching ear was the one I wanted or some other. I could not distinguish the name on the front end twenty yards off, but the name on the side was visible enough. I notice a space in front where the name could be print ed and it would be seen block distant I mean that space between the lower and upper roof.
 While speaking of improvements that could be effected with advantage to pas sengers I would like to mention device I saw a man working on. It was some thing like the machine that registers the fare only much larger. Instead of the conductor calling out the name of the next station all that would be necessary would be to pull a cord which would reg ister the name and at the same time sound a gong to make people look If you were ever carried two or three blocks past your home of dark, wet night, you would think of all these things"
