WATER TANK
CRASHES DOWN
Falls at Northwestern Depot
About 1000 Sunday morn
ing No Warning.
OTTO MFLGfS NEARLY CAUGHT
Was Close at Hand with Baby
when the Tank Burst
Open

With scarcely an instant's warn
ing the big water tank at the North
western depot burst asunder yester-
day morning about 10 o'clock and
crashed to the ground.
There were nearly a thousand
barrels of water in the tank at the
time and instantly the surrounding
ground was fiood-swept.
MeI3es and Baby Near
Otto Melges and his three-years
old baby were within forty feet of
the tank when the first crash sound
ed.
Realizing the danger Mr.. Melges
sprang to his baby. grabbed it in
his arms and ran.
Chased by the Flood
With roar Of rushing water the
tank collapsed and Mr.. Melges and
his child barely escaped. The water
rushed after them as they ran and
one of the steel girders was thrown
across the track beyond the spot
uponlwhich they were standing when
the tank burst.
Bands Hurled so Feet
The steel bands flew apart and
were hurled go feet from the tank
while water was driven so feet into
the air.
Every stave in the tank was brok-
en- in two. The roof was also torn
in two, half of which crashed to the
trestle while the other half hung
suspended by a rope, threatening
every minute to fall and warning
the curious away from the wreck.
Switch Track Blocked
The track to the round table was
blocked and the section men were
called out to clear the rails. The
rope was cut and the remainder of
the roof fell. IN was the work Of
only a few minutes to clear the
track.
Meanwhile water was still pour
ing into the demolished tank as no
one arrived who knew where the
cutoff was. At last E. E. Turner
and H. Ives came and they stepped
the flow.
Tank Full of Water
The tank held about 900 barrels
Of water and was full at the time Of
the collapse. There was no wind
and the wreck did not fall
over but burst out on all sides. yield
ing to the pressure Of the water.
Officials Saw Broken Span
Some days ago while certain Off
Gals of the road were here they OBJ
served that one Of the steel bands
was broken. Nothing was done to
remedy the defect and the pressure
of the water upon the remaining
spans was too great and they flew
apart. Examination afterwards
showed that nearly every one Of the
spans was at least partially rusted
N two. The cost of rebuilding the
.ank will he between $500 and $500.
Melees Had Close Call
1t was miraculous that Mr.. Melges
'r his baby was not killed or seri-
'usly injured when the tank fell.
Less than quarter of minute be-
'ore the break they had passed with
n ten feet of the tank and were
between the tank and the railroad
rack when the first crash occurred.
The baby was ten or fifteen feet
way from Mr.. Melges then. In
family he sprang to the child, gath
red it in his arms and fled without
ooking back.
Mr.. Melges was looking at the
ank and noting the broken span
when the crash came. Now he
laims the worlds record for a fifty
ard sprint and under the circum-
tances hisclaim seems well founded.

Big Card in Birmingham.
Smiths efforts alone kept the
sport popular in Birmingham in
those trying days of the Southern
league, and had as much as any
thing to do with making Birming-
ham the most dependable baseball
town in the circuit. For all of
which Bonehead Frank should re-
ceive the lasting gratitude of
Southern patrons of the game.
Smith was again a Baron in 1903.
This year Birmingham was man
aged by Tom OBrien, and had a
real ball club, but still Smith was
called on to do the utility act. He
did not shine particularly as
pitcher. but was above the aver
age in effectiveness
The South was surprised when he
was drafted by the White SoX. 1t
was thought but a question of
weeks before he would be trudging
back to Birmingham
He didn't. He stuck, and his tenn
permanent changed. The spitball
was soon afterward introduced. and
Smith became master of that puz-
cling delivery.
When he saw himself a star, he
did the same thing that stars Of
the stage, Of art. of literature, of
fighting, of everything else are wont
to do. He thought himself too
bright for common. every day work.
Instead of being the fine old truck
horse he was in the Southern league
he became as willful as a prima
donna. If his support was not gilt
edged he sulked. Frequently he
jumped back to his piano moving
in Pittsburg. Every time an OPP
portunity offered. he would de-
clare he had forsaken baseball for
the prize ring and a challenge to
JetfIies OF Johnson or whoever held
the palm at the time would forth
with issue. and the scribes would
have sport wlthal.

answering roll call at Cincinnati
He was never again effective. and
last season dropped completely out.

NEW STUNT WITH FOOTBALL SCORES SUGGESTED
By "Bud'' Fisher

tai number Of points that have been
scored against it to date. Papers
everywhere publish from time to
time list of the scores of va
rious football teams, and the only
way they have ever, as yet. ar
ranged them is to put in the order
Of points they have scored. This,
while interesting enough as far as
it goes, tells only one thing about
the teams
The points that a team has scored
are to its credit; the points scored
against it are to its discredit Sure
ly there is a relation between its
merits and its dement's, as there is
in every other kind of game.
Why not express that relation
ship either in fractional or in deci-
NAL form?
For instance: Suppose X team
has scored in its.games to date 100
points, while points have been
scored against it. Then 100 is the
numerator OF it's fraction, while s
is the denomination, and the deci-
NAL quotient. which indexes it's
whole ability Offensive and defen-
sive strength combined) Is repre-
scented by the division Of 8 into 100,
or 1880.
BY this method we would learn
that some teams that had scored
quite lot of points did not have
nearly so high a combina ton per-
centage as some others which had
not scored so many points. but
which, on the other hand, had not
been scored upon so frequently.
| make this suggestion to the
sport writer's with no thought of
criticism for the tables they are
accustomed to publishing. for those
also are interesting, but think the
above outlined plan would give
them something new and worth
while
How Scheme Works Out.
Take the prominent s. |. A. A.
teams as an example of this. In

they stand thus q give first the
points they have scored and then
those scored against them):

Caloosans must have been a shade
off their game when they met Tech.
They certainly played a vastly bet
ter game against Georgia. The Red
and Black players, on the other
hand, were below form in their Al

team, as result Of vigorous coach
ing. was doing better work.
These scores. and a lot of other
things. indicate that Tech has
real chance with Georgia-nothing
to bank on and nothing to bet on,
but enough to make the coming
