leagues, and followed up his good work
by rising to the top of the entire
American league in batting.
This year Stone fell off in his bat
ting, although he felded as we'll as
ever
While with Milwaukee, Stone was
tabulated as ''the slugger that made
Milwaukee famous
Stone began his professional career
with the Omaha club of the Western
league in 1902. He is only twenty
eight years of age and seems good for
a long time in fast company. as he
can field we'll and is always likely to
threaten to tear off a limb from an
lnhelder with vicious drive should
the lntielders come in to try to cut off
MS attempts at singles. Peoria got
the outfielder from Omaha, and while
tickling the fans of the Illinois city
with his excellent batting Stone was
creating big demand for his services
back in the Omaha club. Omaha sub
sequently hauled Stone back again in
to its lineup.
Boston American league magnates
thought Stone would be valuable adj
dition to the Plymouth Rocks and got
him from Omaha but there was some
hitch in the plan to use Stone regular
~, and he was sold to Milwaukee. 1t
will be recalled that Stone fell upon
the American association pitchers in
1904 and tore off SO many bingles that
he led the association with the mag
nificent batting average Of .4O7.
This aroused the Boston American
league management once more, and
Stone was repurchased the Milwaukee
club getting considerable sum for
him. In the spring of 1905 Boston
traded Stone to the Browns for Out.
fielder Jesse Burkett
Last year Stone led the American
league with an official batting mark of
1853. He played in 154 games and to-
tailed POS hits. His mark was better
than that of Lajoie.
Bobby Wallace is another st. Louis
American player whose ability ranks
him with the top notchers
Wallace in his prime was undoubted-
~ one of the greatest of all infielders.
He still puts up a scintillating game at
shortstop for the Browns, although he
may be said to have lost some of his
old time dash and enthusiasm. He is
batting like the Bobby of old.
Wallace is an invaluable brace to
the team because of his generalship

not to start until Monday morning and
so had the rest of the day and evening
to; see the town. After wandering
about for some time he strolled down
to the river bank.
Near the union station on the west
bank of the river Tony saw Il pile OF
logs touching the bank. He scrambled
over these to the outer edge and sat
down ON two small logs. Before he
noticed 1t they We're floating and he
could not reach those firmly attached
to the shore
The boy realized that he was being
swept along by strong current, but
did not realize his true peril. He sat
straddling the logs and padding with
his hands and feet against the current.
but to no advantage The logs were
swept into the center of the stream
and over the falls
When the boy saw that he was going
over the big falls he leaned forward
and grasped the logs firmly in his
arms. Over the apron he shot, head
foremost, and down the steep incline
into the turbulent rapids below. He
chung desperately to the logs, but kept
his head and watched alertly for n
chance to save himself.
Spirit island is a small, rocky bit OF
land in the center of the stream be-
tween the falls and the Tenth avenue
bridge. The boy saw it and decided
to swim for it. He attempted to re-
move his coat, but while trying to do
so he was thrown by the turbulence
of the rapids from the logs to which
he had chung. Pedestrians on the
bridge had seen him going through
the rapids. although none saw him
shoot the falls. The police were al
once notified and FASTENED to his res
cue in the police boat.
Tony is believed to be the only per-
son who has shot the falls and lived.
