nothing but the sullen glare OF

tragedy and its mysteries. It was a
night of terror, and that part of Day

up this morning heartbroken.
The flames last night showed men,

roofs of houses in the path of the

Some ventured into the tumultu-

victims.

"A ball team at Washington or St.

stronger than any OF Its rivals TO finish
on top" he declared. The heat and
humidity rob the players of their
vitality. caught in Washington
three seasons and know. st. Louis Is
nearly as bad.
Even when the Athletics play a
brief series In these towns they leave
with less life than they entered them.
A team that has to play in such
weather half the time suffers more,
Of course. In Cincinnati it's a good
deal tho same"

Of the greatest ball players in the
