LOSS FROM FLOODS
Heavy Rainfall Durin0
Last Few Days Cause
Overflow in LOwIondS
Large Rivers on Ramp
age and Thousands of
Dollars Loss

last lew days has caused the rivers
all through the central states tc
overflow and from all Of these sec
tions come the reports Of property
loss. Of homes destroyed and delays
in traffic.
Probably the heaviest loss will .bt
felt along the Ohio River which
reached the highest stage since 1884
at Louisville and as the rain has
continued>to,sah at the headwaters
or this river the food will remain
for several days. Dispatches from
Louisville estimate the loss at
100000 in that city alone while
on below in the western part Of the
state the loss will be as great pro-
portionately.
In Cincinnati the water rose to
such height that the Union Depot
had to be abandoned and trains
brought into the city from other
routes coming into this city.
Not only along the Ohio was the
destruction wrought but all over
Kentucky in the smaller streams the
food loss was felt. AT Pineville the
lighting plant was put out OF COM
mission as was also the water
works. At Middlesboro Yellow
Creek as usual went on a rampage
and for several hours last week the
people living in the lower portion
OF the city were compelled to seek
refuge on higher grounds until the
water receeded. Here the property
lpss was great.
In this city the food did no great
damage although the river reached
a high stage. Trains have arrived
late here Tor several days on &C.
count of the delays caused by high
water. especially those from the
north.
The Kentucky Rivrr overlooked
the early part of the week and for
several hours Frankfort was under
water No, cnly at Frankfort but
all along the course OF the river was
the loss ielt.
On account OF landslide at Rock
Haven last Saturday night the l.
II & ST. l.. Railroad could not send
out a train from Louisville last
Sunday. Here the track was GOV
cred by several feet OF rock, mud
and debris.
The rise in the Cumberland which
was here the last of the week is just
now being ielt in the western part
OF Tennessee where it empties in to
the Mississippi. The following As
ISOLATED Press Dispatch from Nash
vile gives report of the conditions
in that City:
"A rainfall OF two inches today
has started the Cumberland River

Predicted Next Year

PHILADELPHIA, Sept Char
lev Doom will not be manager of the
Phillies next year if a man more
competent to fill the bill can be
found. The owners of the Philadel-
phia National League team are quiet

After hunting all over for a new
leader the choice appears to have
dwindled to Hank O'Day, former Gin
cinnati manager and Otto Knabe,
second baseman of the Phillies.
Dooin's contract expires at the end
of this season, and he acknowledged
to-day that he had not beer rendered
a new contract. He also said that he
knew nothing of the plans to replace
him.
The friends of Doom are preparing
to take up the cudgels in his behalf,

KILBANE GIVES
JIMMY WALSH
GOOD LACING

u OSTON. Sept. 17.-Johnny Kill
ID bane, Of Cleveland, successfully
defended his featherweight
championship crown at catch weights
before a large crowd at the Atlas A.
A. here last night. Jimmy Walsh was
completely outclassed. KiIbane knock
ed the local boy down with a right
hand smash to the jaw in the tenth
round and would have knocked him
out but for Walsh hanging on. Ref
cree Jack McGuigan, of Philadelphia,
awarded Kilbane the decision
1t was the third bout between the
two men, and the first decision at anv
OF their meetings. Walsh was appar-
emily much lighter than Kilbane, and
fought defensively most of the time
Without offering a very strenuous
offense, Kilbane scored minor points
In nearly every round. Walsh did not
land half a dozen blows up to the
tenth. Then he started an attack of
left and right swings, several of which
found their mark on Kilbane's body
ana neck. The champion. aroused.
rained blows upon his opponent, and

second or two. but, gparring for time.
waited during a count Of eight and
Strengthened out for action. Kilbane
rushed him, but was stopped by the
bell.
Except for the twelfth round, this
was the only extended series of
punches throughout the fight. In the
closing sessions Walsh became the
aggressOr, but Kilbane checked all but
a few of his efforts. then himself took
up the attack and scored two punches
to Walsh's one in the last two min
utes of fighting.
During the early rounds Kilbane
made some futile swings around
Walsh's head. so clever was the Bos-
ton boys defense, but occasionally
the blows landed. One with the left
hand caught Walsh over the right eye
in the third round and made him
vince. Another landed under his ear
in the fifth. In the seventh Kilbane
crossed right to the jaw. followed il
up with several light lefts. and Walsh,
a loss entirely to evade the blows,
slipped to the mat. 1t was not a

FODDER FOR FANS

Demaree. the youthful pitcher of the
Giants, and HUMPHREYS. the Cub recruit
who are battling for leadership among
the old league pitchers, grappled yester-
day to a 90 draw which eded in the
fourth stanza because of rain.
Heinie Zimmerman the belligerent
third baseman Of the Cubs, came mighty
near establishing record for himself
yesterday by playing four complete in
the umpire or being chased from the
ball park.
"S.~u" Caldwell, the Yankee pitcher,
hurled a nice game yesterday and de-
served a victory, but his teammates
failed to deliver hits at the proper mo-
ment and the game went to the Tigers.
The Maps lost to the Athletics yester-
day in e ten-inning game, giving the
Clevelanders a record Of seven defeats
in the eight games which they have
played on their final Eastern invasion.
The Naps-Athletics' game yesterday
was considerable of a farce. The Maps
pitted three pitchers against the Quak-
ers,, who used four against the Cleve-
landers. The contest was a see saw af-
fair, characterized by loose fielding and
'bonehead' plays
Walter Johnson was at his best yes
terday and as a result the Senators
triumphed over the White Sox, the vic
tory placing them only one game behind
the second place Maps. Johnson allowed
six hits and famed eleven men.
The Yankees next year give promise
Of being one of the speediest teams in
either lea que. Chance has gathered to-
gether an aggregation Of recruits who
are lightning fast both on the paths and
in fielding. Chance hopes to keep them
in first division form during the season.
Iris Speaker the Red Sox slugger,
made another big gain on jackson and
Cobb. whom he is trying to overhaul in
the race for clubbing leadership in the

W. R. PRESLEY in the game a
while longer, despite his announced
Intentions a few weeks ago to hang
out his medical single in his native
town of Due West, S. c., just as soon
as he finished his term as inferno at
Jefferson Hospital, Roanoke.
After graduating from the College
Of Physicians and Surgeons in At
lanta a couple of years or so ago,
the doctor determined to try his hand
at professional baseball preliminary
to buckling down to his chosen CALL
ing.
He made good in jiffy, and as
player manager of the Roanoke
Tigers in the Virginia League this
season he succeeded in landing his
team in second place.
Now. he is being urged to manage
the Richmond Colts next season, and
it looks as If the doctor will fall for
the offer which was made to him
Saturday following the close of the
season. In fact, he has practically
said that if he can obtain his release
from the Roanoke hospital early next
spring he will undertake the Job.
Roanoke is also anxious to secure his
services again, but 1t appears that
financial allurements in these parts
are more attractive.
In addition to his managerial quail
tiles, Presley is a first baseman of
no mean ability and is particularly
strong with the stick.
STEVE GRIFFIN, who has managed
~ Richmond the past two seasons,
landing the club in third place on
both occasions, is slated for manager
of the Charleston, S. c., club next
year
D RESENT indications are that Par
son Perryman, who springs from
family Of ball players down in
Georgia, will also wear a Colt uniform
next season. John McGraw has re-
linquished all claims on him, it Is
understood thus leaving Perryman
free to go where he pleases. He fn-
ished the past season with Roanoke
in fine form. He was with Richmond
last year, and II was because of his
excellent twirling here that McGraw
got a string on him.
Perryman has finished his college
work ami announces that he will win
ter in Atlanta. He expects to take
a ministerial course at Vanderbilt
later.
= RAY, Norfolk's clever short fielder,
NJ will probably be with Atlanta or
Mobile next season. At least, 1t Is
reported that both those clubs Nare
after him.
HARRY MATTHEWS, well known
H throughout Southern balloon, Is
receiving congratulations on all sides
for the way he lifted Newport News
Shipbullders out Of the pit into fifth
place.
When Matthews took charge of this
club after the season was getting
well under way, the team had nine
teen losses to its credit with not a
single game on the other side of the
column. He will manage Newport
News again next season if he wants
the job. Matthews work behind the
bat was particularly noteworthy.
