WEATHER TURNS COLDER.
Residents of Washington Believe Re.
lief Is at Hand

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 1.-THE rains
of the past few days have ceased, the
chinook has turned colder and the
water In the upper part of the White
River valley is slowly receding. The
greatest danger point at present is at
South Park, a suburb of Seattle, near
the mouth of the Duwamish river.
AS the flood sweeps down the valley
to Puget sound the water is steadily
rising at this point.
From Yellowstone Park, small
tract on the north side of the Duwam-
ish just opposite South Park, comes
the report that a house containing
several persons was swept down the
river.

FORTY LIVES IN DANGER.
Two Score of People Marooned on an
Island.

Portland, Ore, Nov. 1.-THE report
received here that the forty or more
people who were marooned on an is
land at the juncture of the Cowlitz
and the Columbia rivers had been res
cued by the steamer Burton, sent from
Portland to the scene for the purpose,
proves untrue. The Burton was un-
able to approach the island on ac-
count of the powerful rush of the wa
ters and the presence of logs and
drift. The steamer Sarah Dixon has
gone to the scene and will endeavor
to rescue the marooned people, who
are believed to be the families of farm
ers and fishermen. Owing to the fact
that the Cowlitz has about reached
the limit of the food, it is to believed
here that the people will be saved.

he trotted down the line. Raglan sacri-

station on CampbelPs error. This filled
the bases and when Cooley came to bat
he knew just what to do and did It. Two
men came in on his hit. Hurlburt sent
a neat little double out toward the fence
and two more runs resulted This was
enough so the next two went out

eighth when both sides increased their
portion. With one down johnson walk

in on Cooley's fly to Abbott
Hutchinson played much the same

Lowe and Ed DeIehanty's Records
Have Never Been EouaIed.


The best record Of the season is a
total of nine bases. made by Catcher
Killing, of the Chicago team. In game
on May Is, at Chicago, he had a dou-
Bile, a triple and a home run off Mich
OILS and McCloskey of the Philadelphia
team. The next heaviest individual bat
ting was done By Ward OF PhiladeI-
phia; Wagner Of Pittsburg. and Can
ley Of Pittsburg, each of whom made
a total Of seven bases in game. On
April ~ Ward, in game at New
ork, hit Wiltse for two singles,
double and a triple; Wagner, on May
30, hit Weimer of Cincinnati for two
doubles and a triple, and on June 2
Ganley made a single and two triples

not for a moment compare with the
record of the major leagues In 1884
Dave Orr, then with the St Louis
Browns put the mark at thirteen total
bases. Two years later. in 1886, Guy
Hecker of louisville. and Dan Brouth-
ers of Detroit, raised the figures to
fifteen, Hecker against Pitcher Dick
Conway, and Brouthers against Jim
Mccormick. This mark stood for three
years.
Larry Twitcheu of Cleveland, in
1889, hoisted it a notch by hitting
Mike Madden for a total Of sixteen
bases. For five years this was the
shining mark, and then Link Lowe of
the Boston team. astonished the base
ball world by making a total of seven
teen bases. He did this on May 80,
1894. in a game at Boston against the
Cincinnatis, who had Elton Chamber
lain in the box Lowe cracked out
four home runs and a single. Two
years later, on July 10, 1896. Ed Dele
hanty duplicated the feat. He was a
member Of the Philadelphia team. In
q game at Chicago he hit Billy Terry
for four home runs and a single. Civ
ing him a total of seventeen bases.
