San Francisco, Dec. 8.-The Hill
liner Minnesota, en- route from Seattle
TO England with 10000 tons Of general
cargo valued at more than 100000,
has been drifting helpiessly off the
coast Of Lower California for more
than forty hours, following a second
successful attempt by members of the
crew to disable the last battery of six
boilers. This information was indi-
Gated in an official radiogram received
tonight from Captain Thomas w. Gar
lick.
The position of the Minnesota at 6
o'clock this morning was given in a
wireless message from the skipper OF
the disabled vessel as 279 miles south
Of Point Iona, bearing north 7 de-
grees west and thirty-nine miles north
of Turtle Bay. According to naval au-
thorities, this shows that the Minnesota
made but ninety-nine miles from s
o'clock Thursday morning until mid
night Saturday, when the last boilers
were put out.
The secrecy which has shrouded the
Minnesota since she turned about from
Lower California / 500 miles south Of
San Francisco last Wednesday has puz-
zled local shipping men. There appears
to be no doubt that the vessel is total
ly disabled and is drifting helplessly,
yet no formal request has been made
for assistance from torpedo boat de-
stroyers at San Diego or the revenue
cutter McCulloch, now at San Pedro.
Halifax, n. S., Dec. 6.-The British
steamer Carlton arrived in port to-day
with fire raging in her hold Captain
Henderson. who reported the matter TO
the Admiralty, said the ship was roll
ing heavily when the fire was dis
covered and he was not sure whether
an explosion had occurred.
The Carlton, a 4,403-ton steamer,
sailed from New York with 1900 tons
Of sugar last Thursday, bound for
Queenstown. The FIRE was discovered
or Saturday afternoon in No. hold,
but the smoke was so dense it was
impossible TO make an investigation.
Steam was forced into the hold and
the matches were bolted down. The
Carlton then raced for Halifax

clarke,s Good Record

Fred Clarke. who has resigned as
manager of the Pittsburgh Nationals
after nearly sixteen years as the pilot
of that club, stands unique among the
baseball managers of the time. His
years of service for one club exceed
those of any manager in major league
baseball, and he has seen many men of
note come and go as rival managers.
When Clarke went to Louisville back
IN 1894 he cost Barney Dreyfuss only
$500. He has been remarkable for his
years Of service as one of the great
players Of his time as well as a most
efficient manager. In fifteen years as
manager of the Pirates he has never
had them finish in the second division,
aud his general average has been bet
ter than third. He has won four Ma
honal league pennants and one worlds
championship.

Ralph de Palma, one of the most
daring and at the same time one Of the
most careful drivers of racing motor
cars. is a native of Italy. Coming to
America when he was a young man, he
worked for a time as a barber and
then became bicycle racer. He grad
uated to the motorcycle and a few
years ago took up auto racing. He soon
showed his skill in handling racing
cars by holding all records for from one
to twenty-five miles.
He has twice won the Vanderbilt cup
race and last spring defeated DarIo
Resta in the 500 mile race at IndIanap-
oils. When these two were entered in
the race for the Astor cup. the event
scheduled to open the new Sheepshead
Bay speedway at New York, a hard
fought contest was assured, as the ri
valry between them is keen.

The new swimming code just draft
ed by the aquatic committee of the
National Collegiate Athletic associa-
tons contains an admirably devised
rule to avoid fouls in dual meets. It
prescribes the division of the pool into
two lanes by stretching a rope length
wise through the middle and the start
ing of the representatives OF opposing
teams in separate lines. a simple ex-
pedient, yet warranted to completely
do away with the protests and discus
sions so often chronicled in the past.
Hereafter with the rival candidates
ON either side of the barrier. crooked
swimming can only work against the
offender or a teammate, as it should.
