With virtually no rain falling i'll Pine Bluff yesterday, dnly few very light showers being experienced, a feeling of optimism prevails over the threatened flood situation, despite the official forecast, issued yesterday, that the river here will rise to 90 feet or more Wednesday or Thursday.
 Careful and close inquiry at dozens of points along the river in this sec tion showed that all ievees are in excellent shape, and that even if the water should flood a vast area of lands. it will do little material dam age, as there are no crops growing and livestock has been moved odt of danger.
 Every precaution is being taken everywhere, to prevent damage. Men and material are at hand, for almost any emergency. |
 Here in Pine .BlufA there is no doubt there will be coHsiderable more water in the streets th&h has been the case of previous floodSoccasions, but unless the unexpectedfhappens, it is not believed there viii he any con- siderable damage or l6ss of property
 The government has already done some protective work at the mouth of Harding's bayou, which is expect ed to prevent the "poi3t" from wash ing away.

Heretofore most of the houses were vacated by negroes, but the water is encroaching now in sec tions where white people live.
 The river remained stationary the greater part of yesterday, contrary tc official expectations, but was said to be rising again last night. although slowly. The belief is held that the rise will begin actively this evening or tonight. and the crest will reach here Wednesday night or Thursday morning.

NATIONALS AND SOX TIE
Rain Stops Contest Between Shaw
and Shore After Six Innings,
With No Runs Scored.

Just what would have happened in the
opening game of the Boston series had
rain not interfered after six and one
half innings were played to tie would
be interesting to know. The official
records of this game will not contain
anything that happened in the first
half of the seventh because the other
team was not given an opportunity to
play its half. consequently the score
reyerts back to the sixth inning
Jim Shaw had a much more difficult
game to pitch than had Ernie Shore, be-
cause Shaw was not nearly as steady as
was Shore, walking five men and al
lowing two hits. He also had two wild
pitches. Shore, on the other hand, was
hit safely three times, but there was
not a single occasion that Shore al
low eqAthe first man that faced him in
any Of the six innings to get on. Three
of Shaw's passes were issued to the
first man up.
In the opening inning Hooper walked
and got to second on Shorten's single,
after Janvrin had famed. A double
steal then succeeded, when Shaw made
a wild pitch. Hoblitzell then hit a
sharp grounder to Judge, whose throw
to the plate retired Hooper and Lewis
flied to Shanks, retiring the side.
Hoblitzell walked to start the fourth
inning and stole because Henry was
prevented from throwing when Shaw
made his second wild pitch. But the
next three batters went out on flies.
Hooper was walked three times by
Shaw, and McNally and Hoblftzell once
each.
shore allowed the Nationals three
hits, but handed out only one pass.
Shanks got a single off him in the sec
ond inning with but one out, but the
next two batters could not advance
him, Shaw got hit, which Shore de-
nected, with one out in the third, but
nothing came Of it. Henry got the third
hit with two out in the fifth and
Leonard drew a pass in the sixth, but
no hit came to help him out and he
died stealing.
