HOMES WRECKED
Severe Wind and Rain WreakS
Havoc i'm X. c. District.
Several Persons InJured-
Children Saved While Asleep.

Kansas CITY. Oct. 10.-Three persons
were slightly injured. dwelling houses
,,,ere damaged. streets and cellars were
eoodad and trees were blown down in
various parts of the city by a severe
wind and rain storm here late last
night.
James Goff and wife and child were
hurt when their cottage at Fifty-slxth
street and Lookridge avenue was
wrecked by the wind. A barn in the
same neiehborhood was blown down,
killing two COWS.
In the whole district of the west
bottoms the cellars of many buildings
were flooded. Windows were broken
by hail that accompanied the storm
Three buildings were damaged by
lightning.
JTndisturbed by the storm, the Hood
ing of their fathers home or the fact
that their bed had f1oated away, Moan
and Juanita Rogers, ? and years old,
respectively, were found sleeping
peacefully on a floating feather bed
when neighbors went into the Rogers
home in Kansas City, Kan, to give
the alarm of the flood. That the chill
dren were not drowned was due to the
fact that they slept soundly and did
NOT roll off the bed. The stoppage of a
sewer had caused the flooding of the
Rogers house and a score of others
near by.
Electric lights in several sections OF
the city were put out of commission by
the lightning. Four persons narrow
ly missed death when their house was
swept from its foundation by the wind
The house was rolled along, turning
completely over three times, mixing It's
occupants with their household effects.
J. w. Hunt and Emil Goff and their
wives. who were in the house, were
only slightly injured. An 11-year-old
son of Goff escaped as the storm
struck and aided the others to extrl-
cate themselves after the wind sub
sided.

Of old fellows would not be able to

now as if Danny Murphy, Collins ana
Barry got to talking to those kids ana
told them some baseball and put con-
fidence in them. They play now as II
sure of winning every game. Bush ls
one of the greatest young pitchers. He
is as cool as ice. He took his time
from the moment he stepped in the
box Tesreau in contrast was hurried
Just like / was the other day. Ihe
Athletic infield had Bush stadied an

there with the heart stuff all the WhlIe
Collins kept life in the game. HIS
eyes are never shut and he never qults
on himself. L don't know where TINS
Bush comes from but he is there. Nc
Graw thought he would make him DloW
up in the first when Doyle got on with
a single and Fletcher was hit by d
pitched ball. McGraw and Robby went
after the kid and roasted him, put
nothing dong. He outguessed Burns
and from then on he outgueSsed every
batter on the Giants. There was haro-
ly a time when our hitters looked LOT
a curve that this Bush did not sWllls
over fast one and vice versa he
seemed to have superhuman knoWleose
of what our batsmen were expecllhS
and doubIecrossed them just as Malty
did in Philadelphia.
Bush had everything that a pltcher
needs to win, including the commence
of his manager. who never batted an
eve lash even when we got start IN
the fifth and seventh.

SLUCCED SPLITTER
That's Way Marquard Sums Up
Tesreau's Defeat.
The Rube Takes On Hat to
Eddie Collins Work.
ORv Rube Marquard.)

Now York Oct 10-They left Jeff's
fast ball go by and slugged his splitter
This was something We did not expect.
They told US the Athletics could not
hit the moist ball. Well, they certain
" raped Tesreau to a finish. L cannot
say whether or not the Athletics could
tell by Jeff's windup motion when he
intended to pitch a splitter and fast
one, but it looked as though they had
the dope. They called him nearly ev-
cry time and they laid for that splitter.
Now mind you, 1 am a good friend
of Tesreau and I believe he will show
the goods for McGraw, if not in this
series then next season. The trouble
with Jeff was he had an attack of
shakes same as / had in the opening
battle There is no use denying this.
Tesreau simply could not win with his
splitter against those fellows. If he
were able to break this moist ball
out or in. like Ford in 1909. he would
be the greatest spit ball pitcher in the
world. But today he was only able to
drop it and the Athletics waiting for
this ball just naturally "golfed'' it all
over the course.
For example you take that first in
ming. Rube Oldring came up after
Eddie Murphy had been retired and l
must say that this Murphy is one
swell lead off man; he appears to be
equally good on dumping the ball, hit
ting it out or waiting. Oldring con-
nected with a splitter and he let two
fast ones go by. He wised up imme-
diately, holding on until Jens splitter
came over, breaking down and he sliced
IT clean to right. Collins was standing
right back of Oldring and no doubt saw
what came off for he did the same
thing He saw that JEFF could not
break that splitter except in one direc-
ton and when Tesreau sent over a
high one with the saliva on it Collins
husted it for fair.
Jeff was worried now. We could see
that from the bench We kept yelling
at him, but say it don't do any gooo
10 veil at man when he is out there
in the box and hasn't the stuff. Baker
followed up Collins and slammed a spit
ter outside into left field. Why say
they were all set for Jeff's fast bail ano
they killed it.
Jeff was so unneryed with this blasf
of hits that he failed to watch the
runners and away came a double stea
engineered by Collins. And righ
here 1 will take off my hat to thi:
fellow. He is the brains OF the attn
letics Although Danny Murphy Il

Yesterday. You couldn't hear Collins
in the stand but on the bench W.

You'll be a second Babe Adams afte

That's the kind of stuff he was tell
ing this Bush and it helped him a 10

of shorts to whom the government report
was disagreeable surprise rallied the
wheat market today after a little weak
ness at the outset Owing, however, to
uncertainty regarding the outcome of
recent tariff legislation general buying
was hindered. Favorable crop prospects
in Argentina counted also against the
bulls. The opening was unchanged to 1sc
lower and there was a slight farther de-
cline but then prices rose above yes
terday's close.
CORN-Corn received substantial sup
port from bull leaders and more than re-
covered from setback due to the gov
ernment report. Opening figures were the
same as last night to A@2sc off, and some
additional depression ensued. The later
upturn though carried the market higher
than the previous close.
OATS-Oats were relatively weak. Longs
unloaded, influenced by the increase of
the Washington estimate, compared with
September.
RROVISIONS-High prices for hogs
steadied provisions. First sales were at
last nights figures with changes later
mainly upward.
