WIND MAKES MISCHIEF
ALONG UPPER NEW YORK
Blows Alien Warship From An
chorage, Unroofs Riverside Drive
Buildings, Uproots Trees

NEW YORK. August 1s.-Serious
damage was caused late yesterday by
a freak windstorm. which swept a
section Of the Hudson river around
125th street, and a part Of the upper
West Side.
A foreign warship anchored in the
Hudson dragged her anchor in the
gale and was swept helplessly to-
ward the rocks on the New York
shore. Six tugs threw lines to the
helpless ship when she was in shallow
water only a few feet from the bank
and dragged her out into the river.
The fury of the wind was felt es-
pecially along Riverside drive. where
It swept against the towering apart
ment houses which line the east side
Of the thoroughfare. Large sections of
the roofs were ripped from two
buildings. Awnings were torn loose
from many buildings and sailed
through the air like kites. while hun
dreds Of windows were shattered In
apartments along the driveway.
Trees were upfooted in the park
way along tho river and the drive was
filled with fallen limbs. So far as
could be learned no one was injured.
While the wind blew a gale north
OF 14oth street, Il was scarcely felt
in downtown New York.

do anything with the offerings of a

Tom Crooke. head Of the Navy Yard

constitution, which he proposed last

divided between contending teams

clubs slated to take part In the games
are not going to agree to that kind
Of an arrangement. However, 1t may
be carried, as the strong clubs are in
the majority and undoubtedly would
derive benefit from such action. OF
course, in the event of rain, the teams
scheduled to play would suffer.
