was reached, with time for two miles of 5:3oA

a half mile goal reached, in 4:34, Longfellow
was 200 yards in the lead.
SO ended the great race. The south went home
rolling in northern wealth, and the north repaired
to Saratoga to repair its shattered fortunes. Even
the heaviest losers fan to admit it worth
the price.
The following figures, taken from the summaries of
the race, will show something of the odds given by
the professional 'poolmen:

TERRIBLE STORMS
PACIFIC NORTHWEST
Wind 40 Miles an Hour While Rain
Fell in Torrents-Worst Storm
i'm Many Years.

The worst storm which has struck
the Pacific Northwest in the last six
years was raging last Sunday says a
Seattle dispatch
In Seattle the wind, blowing from
the southwest, reached a maximum
velocity of 40 miles an hour and
maintained an average Of SO miles
an hour, while rain fell in torrents,
increasing the danger from floods
made imminent by the melting Of the
snow on the western slope Of the Cas-
cade mountains.
At o'clock Monday evening the
temperature was rising and the
weather bureau sent out new flood
warnings. The storm center Is now
off the coast of Northern British
Columbia. 1t is moving south and
will center on Puget Sound within
the next "a hours, according to the
local weather bureau.
Flood Warnings Out.
The flood warning sent out by the
weather bureau tonight advises that
there Is grave danger of floods in
the Puyallup, White, Duwamish. Sno-
homish and Skagit River valleys. All
these streams have their sources in
the mountains.
The rainfall in Seattle today was
an inch in IL hours. Since Wednes-
day the rainfall has amounted to
1886 inches, equal to the normal pre-
cipitation for the whole month Of
February.
The railroads are still hampered
by snowslides in the Cascade noun
tains. The great Northern and Mil
waukee lines are blocked hopelessly,
and the Northern Pacific is operating
through the mountains with diff
Guilty. Northern Pacific train No. Z,
from st. Paul, arrived in Seattle this
afternoon "a hours late, having been
detained at Easton by snowslldes. All
other Northern Pacific trains are
running from 10 to 20 hours late.
Main Line Blocked.
All trains using the Northern Pa
cific tracks between Tacoma and
Portland, Ore, are being detoured
by way of Olympia. The main line is
blocked at Rainier, Thurston county,
by the wreck of the northbound Port
land-Vancouver Limited, which ran
into a slide. The engine and the mail
and baggage cars left the track. No
one is reported injured.
The Great Northern is sending ad-
ditional men to the mountain division
to help open the line. Reports from
Everett tonight say that snow is fall
ing in the mountains and there is
little prospect Of getting the Great
Northern line open within the next
"a hours.
Telegraph lines are down and de-
tails of the storm in the mountains
are meager. The Great Northern is
operating its st. Paul & Chicago
overland trains via Vancouver,
Wash, and the North Bank road.

aud Selee Immediately laid plans to
strengthen Chicago. His first step
was bit Of strategy to secure Slagle
who was wanted to lead the batting
list.
Slagle was a quiet. cool. lefthanded
batter with much patience and judg-
ment. His career in baseball had
been full of vicissitudes He started
playing with Clarion, Pa, IN 1889.
and sfterward went to Ohio Wesleyan
university at Delaware, where he
played the outfleld two seasons. In
1894 he signed with Franklin. in the
Iron and Oil league. then played with
Omaha for one season; next went to
Houston, Tex, where a scout discov.
cred him and took him to Boston in
the fall of 1896 Boston banished
him to Grand Rapids. from which
place he went to Kansas City. Pitts
burg bought him. but before he played
there he was traded to Washington,
and when the National League was
reduced to eight clubs in 1898 Slagle
was sent to Philadelphia, where, In
the greatest aggre cation of batters

the list He was sold to Boston in
1901 and near the end of the season
broke a finger Selee, having
scheme, sold him to Baltimore. The
release TO Baltimore was part of the
plot to get him to Chicago for as soon
as Selee became manager Of Chicago
he brought Slagle back.
That same spring Selee round the
man to stop the gap at short stop
which had existed for years. The
man was Joe Tinker. who began play
ing ball with the John Taylors in
Kansas City in 1896 He was so good
even then that the next year Hagn's
Tailors paid two dollars for him. and

two uniforms and a bat for Tinker
and brought him to the Schmeltzers,
but in June he went to Parsons, Kan,
and later In the summer to Coffey-
Vile. Denver purchased him and tried
him at second base, but he was SO
bad that he was sold quickly to John
McCloskey, who was managing the
Great Falls team. It happened that
Great Falls was in financial straits.
and needing money, McCloskey sold
Tinker to Helena for 5000 and Joe

league from bankruptcy. He was

CREATING a WInnlna Team.

Creating a championship baseball
team is a question of luck, patience,
brains and money, with patience and
luck the principal elements making
toward success Critics of weak teams
complain always: why don't they
buy some ball players?" Nothing moro
suggestive of ignorance of the game
and conditions prevailing was ever
voiced than that wall. The scarcity
of players was explained in pre-
ceding chapter, yet that is only a
portion of the dificulty of the man
upon whom 1t devolves to make a
team.
Baseball players are not for sale.
No really good player ever is sold un-
less behind the sale are reasons well
known to the seller. If a good man
is placed in the market something is
wrong Either the player is dissatis
fed, has had troubles with other play
ers. has taken to drink or has devel
oped some ailment or weakness. In
vestigation Of every case of sales by
major league clubs will reveal some
such cases.
often clubs will trade one good
player for another because they are
over-supplied in one department ant
weak in another. or because they be
lieve another man will ht into the
team better; but money will not
alone, make team.
In spite of the optimistic announce
ments early each season few mana
gers believe their teams will win pen
nants. Most of them are content b
improve a few positions, and continu
to improve each year up TO stag

Sometimes this specialization by
players is Imagination on the part OF
players who fail to study their own
physical shortcomings and advantages
In order to At themselves into the
proper place. third baseman, for In
stance, does not need the speed re-
ouired TO play short stop, but he must
have weight. be able to start forward
quickly, and have the strength and
the courage to block hard line drives.
Besides these things he must be able
10 throw either underhand or over
hand ball, and be hard. fast thrower.
A short stop must be able to move
toward his right rapidly, start forward
quickly, and at the same time must
be able to move to his left, toward or
back Of second base, and recover
quickly after making stops in a neces-
sarily awkward position. Above all
things, he must be able to throw eth.
er underhead or overhead from any
position. An example Of the possibili.

He must have thrown with both feet
off the ground.
The second baseman must have a
fast snap throw from any position, es-
pecially an underhand snap throw
while scooping slow balls at top speed,
and he must be able to move faster
toward his left than to the right. The
outfielders specialize in regard to their
ability TO come in or go out, and
whether they run faster to the right
or to the left, the center fielder always
being the best of the three in going
outward and catching balls over his
head.
