Flood Coming Down Des Moines
Makes Conditions Bad, But It
is Not Thought
DANGEROUS.

Stage of Mississippi river Is shown

telephone adviees to The Gate City

Although both the Mississippi and
Des Moines rivers have been rising
during the last twenty-four hours. in.
dications last night were that there
will be little danger of any great
amount of damage being inflicted from
floods unless more rain fell or the
volume of water feeding the Des
Moines from the north passed all cal
cultions.
The Gate City called up William
Bartlett who lives short distance
from Alexandria Mr.. Bartlett was
inclined to the belief that the Des
Moines would have to raise about
three feet before it would go out Of
it's banks. Indications were that no
such flood as that was coming. No
land had yet been flooded, he said.
Is Close to Top.
Passengers on the Rock Island
trains report that the water is close
to the top Of the banks Of the Des
Moines, but if the cloudburst at Des
Moines has already spent itself as
most Of the people in the threatened
country seem to believe, the danger
seems to be past for the time at least.
Today is the time set by the govern
ment forecast for reaching the twelve
foot stage on the Mississippi at Keo-
kuk. The rise on the Mississippi be-
tween four o'clock yesterday after
noon and 8 O'Clock last night amunt-
ed to about one-twentieth of foot
Damage to the South.
South Of Keokuk, however, the Mis-
sfssippi is on a rampage. The flooded
condition of the Des Moines river is
partly responsible for this state Of
affairs. The Quincy Herald of last
night, says:
This morning there was a report
around town that the Taylor levee
across the river had broken. No
verification of this rumor could be
obtained. However, it was learned
that yesterday the thing in the
Marion county drainage district,
about five miles south of Quincy in
Missouri. choked up, and during the
afternoon a force of ten or a dozen
men went down and opened it UP.
While the outlet was closed the water
backed up over quite an area, and 1t
is thought that this caused the report
that the levee had broken.
The water Is still rising across the
river in the unprotected districts,
and many wheat fields are under
water. The Fabius is coming UP fast
and already considerable damage has
been done, while if the water keeps

Veteran Lightweight Will
Second Local Boy in Battle
with frankie Nelson.

Dick Rainey. veteran lightweight
fighter and well known in this vicinity
among the older followers of the pugil-
istic game, has taken charge of Charlie
Esan for his bout with frankie Nelson.
of New York. scheduled for Monday
night before the Maryland Athletic and
Social Club at Ardmore, Nd.
Rainey was the first manager to handle
the local boy. and is given credit for
bringing him along toward the top of the
heap. He has seconded the local boy in
all his battles until his recent trip to
New Orleans. and yesterday obtained
charge OF putting the finishing touches
in his training and will handle him in the
ring Monday night.
ESan has been working faithfully for
this bout, as he desires to convince the
local ring fans that he deserves chance
at Tommy Lowe, the Southern title
holder. In Nelson. Egan is meeting one
of the best boys that has ever appeared
in the ring at Ardmore. His recent vic
tory over Johnny Mayo in Baltimore
when he substituted for George Cheney
pronounces him above the ordinary
fighter. and the local battler will be
forced to extend himself all the way to
gain victory
Manager Phillips is making an effort
to obtain the best preliminaries possible
and will make final arrangements for
this bout today.

Nationals Get Even Break in
Series with All Clubs
but Detroit.
HERE TOMORROW

Detroit, Mich. May 27.-An even break
with every Western club except Detroit
is the record of the Griffmen as the team
and all things considered Grin has no
kick coming. Weak hitting in Chicago
and st. Louis made the Nationals look
like a second division aggregation. but
the batting improved when Cleveland
was met, and the series just finished
against Detroit showed the Grin crowd
greatly improved bunch.
The pitching has been uniformly good
ever since the Nationals left the Capital.
and with a long stay on the Floida ave-
nue. grounds the Old Fox is confident of
making up considerable lost ground.
There will be no game in Washington
tomorrow, but on Saturday Bill Donovan
will lead his Yankees to the Capital for
a three-game series. Jim Shaw has been
named to pitch the Saturday game
against the New Workers.
John Henry was behind the bat today
and handled Walter Johnson's smoke just
as cleverly as could Ainsmith. 1t was
Henry's first appearance in game since
he spiked himself In Chicago nearly two
weeks ago.
Joe jackson, former Washington base
ball writer, now in Detroit, says that
any person who tries to wish George Nc
Bride on the Cleveland club as manager
is no friend of the dandy captain.
According to jackson. the managerial
Job In Cleveland is a thankless task
bound to end disastrously.
Nick Altrock is ambidextrous. This
fact leaked out in Cleveland last Sun
day night during a tanning bee. when
one of Nick's old friends from Gin
cinnati, who had PLAYED with Sir Mich
olas when both were kids. vOuchsafeu
the information that one afternoon At
trock pitched a game of ball starting of
with southpaw curves and winding up
the affair pitching right handed, because
OF lameness in his left arm.
Asked why he never cultivated this
stun and place 1t on eShi-
bition in the big show. Altrock replied
that he soon found he could use his left
wing to SO much better advantage that
he gave up entirely throwing with his
right.
