Weeghman Thinks He Can

man of the North Side club answered
the question whether he was going to
Cincinnati to see the Red directors in
regard to buying the star shortstop

day, although both Hermann and WEIGH

The manager and president had a

Tinker is said to have advised his
boss to go to Cincinnati, but as Herr

At FLOOD tide
The Ohio River Has Invaded Number
Of Homes Hero and Is
still Rising.

The Ohio river at this point Friday
reached the highest mark since the
memorable and never-to-be-forgotten
tide Of 1918. At 8 o'clock the gauge
reading showed 51.2, rise Of over a
foot Thursday night.
All day Thursday the rise was one
tenth of foot an hour, and by night
the water had crossed Bridge street,
flooding the street car tracks and com
polling transferring of passengers. 1t
had covered Front street from Market
to Limestone, had encroached up Wall
street toward Third, was on Short and
Lower streets and was a terrible men
ace to a large number of residents in
low places.
The backwaters have covered a vast
stretch of territory at Bull creek, Ken
.nedys creek and up Limestone creek.
II is thought the waters will reach
their limit Friday night and come to q
stand.
At Aberdeen the water has covered
Front street and in all probability
will not get into any of the homes
there.
Reports from above Friday morning
showed the river to be falling at head
waters and stationary at Huntington
at l o'clock Friday morning, where
the gauge showed 40 feet.
