ShOmwaer, there were many minor
wagers made here by the frequenters
OF the Maritime Exchange at the time
the ships sailed.
The SkOmwaer, the smaller OF the
trio, got out OF the harbor November
i6 and the Valparaiso and Atlantique
with the next tide, on the morning OF
November II. The Valparaiso reached
the Delaware Capes at 1 a. m, the At
lantique at II a. m, and the Skomwaer
at D. m. There Is no danger OF the
latter vessel winning on time tallow-
ance.
Two vessels were seldom better
matched than were these two French
vessels. They carried the same amount
OF canvas and both are strong and sea
worthy. Before engaging In the ore
trade the Valparaiso and Atlantique
were in the nitrate trade between Chile
and Dunkirk, between which two ports
they frequently raced. Until they
reached the equator these two barks
were In sight OF each other and their
captains used all their seamanship 10

equator, the Valparaiso gradually drew
ahead and one dark, stormy night lost
sight OF her rival. she Skomwaer was
never sighted, although having sailed a
day ahead Of the French barks.
Unable to secure a tug at the Della
ware Capes, the Skamwaer started TO
sail up the Delaware, an unusual feat
for a big sailing craft.

PROFITS ON GI iNTS
BIGGEST IN HISTORY
Brush Paid 100000 for
the Stock That Sold for
$l,350,000
CLUB IN CONTROL
OF N. Y. SYNDICATE

NEW YORK, Jan. i5.-Of all invest
ments in the history Of professional
baseball that made by John T. Brush
in-i9O3 has proved the most fortunate
and lucrative. Brush bought So per
cent OF the stock in the New York
National League club from Andrew
Freedman for 100000. Yesterday that
IS per cent was sold for Si,350O0O-a
profit OF Si.250,O00.
In the sixteen years OF ownership by
Brush and his estate the club saw the
most prosperous days yet enjoyed by
any baseball team and paid the big
gest dividends in the major leagues. IL
is safe TO say that at least another
100000 could be added for dividends
collected by the Brush interests-and
that after all expenses for building the
Brush Stadium had been paid. Hemp
stead not only collected his share OF
the profits on the stock but got an an
nual salary reported to have been s50.-
600 for acting as president OF The club.
The New York club always has been
the model for other teams in so far as
striving for box office receipts and divi-
dends have been concerned. The flnan-
cial success OF the Giants was one OF
the big factors that led TO the organiza-
ton Of the Federal League. for the fact
that the Giants were paying so hand
somely was held out as bait for the
principal hacker OF the Federals. The
success Of the New Yorks also was re-
sponslble for the invasion OF this city
by the American League, and all in all
has been responsible for the gathering
into the bosom OF baseball Of many a
prominent business man.
The handsome return realized on
Brush's investment was approached
only once in the history OF the game.
Charles Webb Murphy and his assO-
ciates bought the Chicago club OF the
National League from James Hart In
1906 for $4,000. In 1914 Murphy and
his men were forced out OF the club,
but they sold at their own terms
more than 100000
James A. Gaffney purchased the Bos-
ton Nationals In 1913 and after three
of the most successful years In the his
tory OF that club, sold TO the Percy
Haughton syndicate at a profit OF more
than 100000, not counting the reten-
tiOn OF Braves Field, which was bought
and fitted into a ball park out Of some
of the profits.
The New York club yesterday passed
out Of the hands OF the John T. Brush
estate. The mapOrity holdings Of the
stock in the National Exhibition Com
pany were purchased by a syndicate
OF local men headed by Charles A..
Stoneham, a Broad street curb broker.
Associated with Stoneham are John J.
AicGraw, world famous manager OF the
Giants, and Judge Francis Y. McQaude,
a police magistrate and one Of Nc
Graws most intimate friends
Under the reorganization Charles A.
Stoneham succeeds Harry n. Hemp
stead, representative Of the Brush es-
tate, as president Of the club. McGraw
is the new, vice-president but will con-
tlnue to manage the club. Judge Nc
Quade succeeds n. Ashley Lloyd, a part
ner Of the late John T. Brush. as treas
urer OF the organization. John B. Fos-

CABLE SERVICE Is
WAY TO The BAD

The local Office of the Western
Union this morning received official
notification of the great delay which
is now being experienced in trans
mission of cable messages to different
parts of the world. The text of the
message is as follows:
"The Western Union Telegraph Co.
announces that the cable situation is
substantially as follows: Messages to
Australia via Britich Pacific route
are subject to a delay of nine days.
Messages to London and other British
points are subject to a delay of from
four to twenty hours. The time from
London to Paris on French messages
is from two to five hours. Messages
to the Philippines via San Francisco
and wireless are subject to a delay
of four days, owing to congestion of
wireless traffic, due to cable inter-
ruption. Messages to Japan via Com
mercial Pacific cable subject to delay
of seven days, due to diversion OF
Siberian and Chinese traffic to this
route during the interruption men,
toned. Messages to the Far East
generally via London are subject to
delay of from eight to nine days
Messages to Brazil are subject to de-
lay of about two days. Communica-
tions with other South American
countries substantially normal.
1.-THE Western Union points out the
futility, in these circumstances, OF
sending tracing messages, which
serve no useful purpose and only add
: to the existing congestion"

The plutocrats, magantes, and other
useful bacteria that infest every sue
cessful mining camp. This man Is
William r. McCrea, who started the
Cripple Creek Prospector in the Colo-
RADIO camp when it was a question
whether the youngster would ever
live to see the day when it would be
outputting $20.00O.000 year.
The success of the camp was due
largely to the activity of McCrea, who
soon found the editorial job too irk-
some, so he sold out to another news
paper man who began printing a
daily. Mr.. McCrea was first owner of
the Deerhorn mine, which was at
first worked after the manner of a
potato ranch, with a plow and a
scraper, which caused one versatile
writer to state that the company was
Engaged in shipping scenery. These
surface scrapings netted $125 ton.

here he resumed the mining game
with such success that he located the
