had been cleared of steam.
After a boat from the Perkins, the
nearest OF the fotilla, had reached the
Wake, carrying Charles Mccullough,
hospital steward. and four men with a
supply of bandages. Lieutenant Train,
finding his starboard engine working
all right, signalled the other ships that
their assistance was not needed, and
under half power put back up Nara
gansett Bay to the hospital ship SOL
ace, where the wounded were trans
ferred. The remainder Of the Atlantic
fleet here, with the exception Of the
Perkins. which acted as convoy, went

known until the board Of inquiry which
has been ordered makes its report.
Whether Lieutenant Morrison was
killed By the blow OIL the head when

found near the bulkhead pump, and It
is believed that he died instantly.
Although no visitors were allowed on

MIGHTY SWATTER BATS
 f.384 BUT HE WON'T DO
St. Louis Browns Drop First Baseman Because He Had No Other
 Qualifications.

To hit .3S4 and vet fail to hold a place in the American league is the well-nigh unique record of Dave Row an. who played in eighteen games at first base for Bobby Wallaces St. Louis Browns last season. Rowan has been allowed to slide back to the minors because he didn't have the build to make successful first base man for the big show.
 The first day Rowan showed up to play with the battered Browns he inn pressed the fans with his ability to slam the ball. It made no difference what kind of a ball was served to him. He hit them all into the far corners and cared not whit which pitcher was opposing him. The best tNirlers of the Philadelphia Athletics got the same punishment as the raw est rockies with the nationals.
 But he was let out to give John Kutina, the wrestler from Michigan a chance to show his class around that initial corner. When the fans looked at the figures they wondered why Rowan had failed. Then Bobby Wallace told them.

HOT SPRINGS. Ark. March 30.- the first base problem. which has worried Mir. Fred Clarke since he parted with Kitty Bransfeld. remains his big one. Perhaps Kitty has the jinx. as the sounder ne Smitel the sphere when allied with the Phillies anI the better his play on the de- fense became. the worse was the said MT.

RAIN |S AGAIN

Valley League Schedule Is Badly Demoralized by An tics of J. Pluvius; Tester days Normal Vs. Indian Game Called Off

What with the rains and the num- erous extra games with teams not in the league. the Valley league schedule is in | sad state of "miNedness. A perfectly good schedule was mapped out for the remaining games of the series some three weeks ago. but since that time. for various and suf- ficient reasons. not a single league game has been played.
 Two games were scheduled for the 23rd Of March. one between the Mesa and Tempe high schools. and the other between the Phoenix high and the Normal. but on the 23rd it rained so gloriously that even the thousand per cent Normals refused to venture on the field Again yesterday the rain descended. and again the ball tossers langushed within the four walls Of their respective homes. So the Indian Normal game is added to the called-off column.
 Yesterdays game between the Phoenix and Mesa high schools was postponed in order to give the Mesa team day at home" in which to entertain the Tucson high school nine. which is now touring the up- per valley. It is probable that these four postponed games will be played after the close of the regular series The schedule for the remaining games of the series is.
