AN ENGLISH BLIZZARD.

/
! Clear the Roads In 1886.
There was-a certain Hercules en-
gine which 1t noble figure in the
English bliz7 ard of 1886.
To appreC late the role played by
the Hercules some idea must be
given of the effect of the storm on
other methods of travel. Fourteen
mail coaches were abandoned on as
many roads. Another was dug out
Of drifts five times between Exeter
and London.
Another was buried so deep that
II took 800 men, principally sappers
and miners, several hours to make g
passage to the coach and rescue the
mails and passengers, while nea,
Chatham the nov lay to a depth OF
thirty or forty seet, the military be-
ing turned out to the number oil
800 to clear the way.
In London the drifts were ten
feet deep, and hundreds Of men and
carts were employed hauling snow
Gut to the fields in the suburbs. The
parkets were in a bad wey. One
day only four stall holders were
able to reach q main market. Greens
which few days before the storm
were being sold for threepence q
bunch at market now fetched from
tenpence to shilling, turnips, car
rots and celery becoming equally
dear, while penny handfuls of pars-
ley realized 2s. 3d., and the happy
possessor of a bunch which he had
previously purchased for ninepence
realized for his prize no less a sum
than f1 2s. Sd.
Amid al this confusion the pio-
neer railways covered themselves
with glory by running trains almost
without interruption. There was a
deep cutting on one line where the
snow had drifted badly, and great
numbers of people turned out to
see how the Hercules engine would
get along. They imagined, of course,
that she would be stopped, but to
their astonishment tie engine dash
ed right into the drift, clearing
her way through apparently with
out the slightest difficulty, the snow
at the same time flying over the top
of the engine chimney like foam
from the broken waves of violent
sea, and Notwithstanding obstruc-
tisns the train came down from

 ball History.

One of the tragedies of baseball is the passing from the limelight's glare of smoky Joe" Wood. v The rival of Johnson for the American league twirling honors few years ago, he has now passed into the discard. Wood was born in Kansas City 27 years ago Oct. 25. 1889. and is about two years younger than Walter Johnson. In 1912 Smoky Joe" performed the phenomenal feat of winning 34 victor ies out of 39 games. and then twirled two victorious games in the worlds s series.
 It was a pitching duel at Hot Springs, Ark, the following spring that ruined Joe's career. The Red Sox were pitted against the Pirates in workout game. Hendrix was in the box for the Buccaneers, and he displayed a lot of stuff. flaming sev- eral of the worlds champions. Smoky Joe" was not to be outdone, and he put everything he had on the pellet. The Red Sox finally won to 4. The next day Wood was unable to lift his f1inging arm higher than the height of his shoulder. Both Wood and Hen drix had bad years, and in both cases the lack of form was probably due to that twirling duel in Hot Springs.
 That indiscretion of Woods was re- sponsible for quite an upneaval in the baseball world. Joe's inability to win games in 1913. with the conse- quent slumping of the Red SoX, start ed a rookus which brought about the

 "Matty'' was very frank in saying that his eyes were opened to the real izat1on of the widespread interest in trapshooting. He never thought it was such a good sport or that so many people were interested in it, Since the trapshooting trip Mathewson has in- vaded the fields, too. and with Frank Stevens went into the North Carolina woods for ten days last winter.
 Good baseball players as a rule make excellent trap shots. It is an ac- cepted fact that 1t requires the same concentration, the same pilot eyes, the same acting in unison of the eye, brain and nevres to become a success full. baseball player that it does to be- come an expert trapshooter, and in either sport it. requires practice to be- come a leader.

Braden to Start.

Announcement has been made that Jim Braden, the best line bucker of the Yale football squad, will undoubt- edly start in the fullback position against Washington and Jefferson to- day. Braden's brilliant work in prac- tice practically cinched the position for him. The placing of Braden at full back had been anticipated for some time, as he was always looked upon as one of the best men in the Blue ar ray. Before coming tc Yale Braden made a name for himself at Washing ton and Jefferson. His play against his old teammates will naturally be awaited with keen interest. Braden takes the place of Jacques

Cambridge. Mass. ct.s27--The first of the seasons more important foot ball games. the Cornell Harvard con- test. will be decided in the Stadium tomorrow. Indications tonight were that fair weather would prevail.
 Among Crimson followers the game Is considered of special import ance because of the opportunity 1t may afford to retrieve the defeat by which Cornell marred Harvard's oth- erwise successful record of last year. On the other hand. the Ithacans come to Cambridge primed for the meeting and with the prestige of its record as an unbeaten team an done which has held all opponents without score. The Harvard team has been defeated once. by Tufts.
 Coach Sharpe allowed the players no let up in their preparation today. Within an hour of their arrival. the Cornell team had gathered for signal drill at their hotel. and this afternoon they had field practice at the Sta dium. Both sessions were secret. The coach said every player was fit, and that the team would present it's best strength tomorrow.

the floor and knocked him stiff in an instant.
 When Willard fought Young, he was less experienced than he is now. Since this first he has showed wonderful improvement. Taking it for granted that both Dillon and Le- vinsky are clever and much quicker because of their difference in weight, one could not concede either any chance against the cowboy in a finish battle. Furthermore Willard has been over the distance a few times, while neither Levinsky nor Dillon are actually used to grilling more than 10 to 1 rounds at time. Summing up the whole situation carefully, the average sporting man would really ridicule the thoughts of Willard opposing the slam bang Dillon, or the exceptionally clever Le- vinsky m long battle for cham pionShip honorS.
