New Orleans.--With the rain pour
ing down in torrents from Baton
Rouge south new terror was added to
the residents living along the levees,
and there is panic-stricken rush to
the high lands. 1t is generally con-
ceded that there will be fresh breaks
in the dykes just repaired.
The Mississippi river, already at
flood point, is rising rapidly because
of the downpour. Hundreds of meii
have been rushed to the weakest
spots in the levees and n seemingly
unequal battle against inevitable
floods begun. Women and children,
with a few of the most valuable be-
longings, were huddled into wagons
and hurried beyond the danger zone.
Armed with lanterns and torches
the flood fighters kept at work
throughout the night. Corps of engi-
neers are experimenting the work,
travelling quickly up and down the
dykes and directing the men to break
ing spots.

Possibility of serious loss of life in

usual activity. Many persons had re.
fused to leave their homes until the
water was in their front yards. Sew

a fleet of rescue vessels will be
started out to join the four boats al
ready in the Atchafalya territory.

O'Harn Gives a Reason.
Scout O'Hara gives the scarcity of
embryo stars in the minor league
ranks as a reason that so many col
Iegians are now being signed.
There are few players in the minor
league at present, worthy of trial in
fast company, that are not already
under contract to some big league
club" says the scout. who has just
returned from a gum shoe trip through
the south and west, so we naturally
have to look to other fields.
The average college ball player to-
day is also far superior to the diamond
star turned out by the universities
years ago This is undoubtedly due
to the fact that the college boys are
now accorded greater privileges in
playing the game. The faculties are
no longer so stringent in prohibiting
them from playing summer ball and l
believe this is the chief reason why
they have improved so greatly.
Certainly the universities are pro-
ducing a greater number of stars each
year, and the demand for them, too, is
greater. Years ago it was considered
a great honor for college boy to get
an offer from a big league club; now
2days every star in the college ranks

lot Thompson and Sterrett appear to
be the best, although neither Boyd
nor Davis has had a trial in fast com
pany.
Thompson. who halls from the uni
versity of Georgia, pitched a few
games for the Yanks and looks as if
he may develop into a star with time.
Sterrett the Princeton youth, has
had more Of chance to show his abil-
ity, having played in a number OF
games. His regular position is behind
the bat but Wolverton has been play
ing him at first and second and he
appears as much at home there as
anywhere. He is a fast. graceful field
er and an excellent batter, not of the
Slugger type, but one who hits timely.
There have been few days since the
Tiger star broke into the lineup that
ne failed to get in one or two safe
hits. His work during the Washing
ton series in which he covered first,
was very commendable, and the Capt.
tai city critics were loud in their
praise for him.
Davis May Not Report.
Pitcher Davis. the recent graduate
of Williams college, where he made
an enyiable record on the diamond,
has not yet reported to Wolyerton, al
though he is signed up. He was to
have Joined the team last week. I'm
less he can overcome parental Objec-
lions, though, the Yankees are likely
wishes of his elders that Davis agreed
to enter the professional game, and
at present he is trying to gain their
consent. Those who watched his ca
reer on the college field predict a
bright future for him in the majors It
is generally conceded that he is the
best in college ranks in this section Of
the country.
