WHEN DISASTER REFILL PUEBLO

M William Macl4eod Raine, in Leslie's. Not a single life need have been ,ost Whistles shrieked out their warning to those in the imperiled district. Rangers. newspaper re- porters. city officials, and volunteers went down into the Grove and Pep nersauce Bottom to urge the resi- dents to leave. Some moved With flaw beloneines to the higher groIna m Main street. J. D. BuIns made trip after trip il. his car md brought aa families to the city hospital be- tween six and eight o'clock. w.. Preston Wright, a newspaper man. induced six families to leave.
 But the inhabitants of the bottoms were poor people. Mexicans and Italians ahd Czechoslavs. They re- fused to believe that they were Tn danger. Some of them. under in- sistent pressure. would move a Iew wards toward safety and return as soon as the warner had gone.
 With the breaking of the levee above the city the waters poured in to the lowlands! The flood rose so rapidly that the peoplh in the Grove and Peppersauce Bottom were trap ned. TWO passenger trains at the
 
 caught in the roaring flood One of these was, a Denver and Rio Grande, and the other Missouri Pacific train.
 The rushing water lapred at the coach steps. It rose into the cars. There was panic of frightened pas sengers Many slid down into the water and tarried to fight their way to the Nuckolls Packing plant The tug of the current swept some into the river. Others managed to reach the building. Piles of lumber from a flooded yard swept down and crashed into the trains, dislodging some of those clinsing to the steps. Houses and barns and uprooted trees swirled past.
 It was an hour of terror. The coaches were swept from the track and swayed back and forth in the current striking against those of the other train. Some of them turned over. Water, rising at the rate of foot minute, already nearly filled the cars. Passengers screamed and prayed in the anguish of their de- spair.
 But even here the discipline of self restraint found expression. Men walked up and down the cars comforting the distrauGht, while o.h- CTS chopped holes through. the ccil- ing or broke the windows of over turned coaches.

and in addition to gain a constantly
 of New York must depend chiefly
 upor loans with mortgage security and upon the purchase of bonds. Here
 as well as elsewhere one of the inn
 rortant markets for the disposal of
 high grade bonds is found in the saw ings bank. It entails, however, much
 skill and good business judgment in
 order to reach a decision to purchase bonds. For instance, the state of Michigan offered an issue of several
 millions of bonds having a long time
 to run and bearing interest at the rate of 5 ta per cent. This was more attractive than the issue offered by the state of New York, because the interest upon New York bonds was | not as large as that which the Mich igan bonds carried.
 New York savings banks were glad to purchase the Michigan bonds. They continue to be glad. These bonds a-. as certain to be paid when que, and the interest is as sure to be paio as are the bonds issued by the United States government. One saving bank bought s5O0,000 in Michigan bonds. Since that purchase it has been of fered polntS more lhdh " | fer the bonds, but that was no
 ttmptation, to sell. The savings banks of New York and presumably all or nearly all of the savings banks or the country, have invested millions l in government bonds. These banks have been one of the chief markts for the disposal of government bonds lby those who have been compelled 70 sell There is perhaps no better way of discovering what the real condi- ton is throughout the country tnan i bv .arefu! study of the reports 7a' n are made by the savings banks not l cnl in New York city and state, pu. thr5ughout the United States

Million and Half Persons
 Working in a Small Space

NEY YORK, Aug. 5.-Investigat ing committees recently found that the number of workers who daily flock into the financial district of lower Manhattan exceed 100000 If they were assembled in an open field of equal area there would hard ly be room for any of the sleepy clerks to stretch their arms and yawn. ssSss fti a
 There is less than one square mile in the tip of the island below Cham bers Street, or only a little more than three square feet of ground space for each person working in the district But skyscrapers have so multiplied the accommodation nas ture furnished the first settlers that instead of having less elbow room than an imprisoned criminal, every body can chew gum without distract ing the sensitive ears of the occu- pant of the adjacent desk.
 Although 100000 persons work each day ill this small space the number who live in the area total less than 1S,000. Subways. elevated trains, ferries, automobiles and street cars rush the others in and out every morning and evening. Some of the commuters live 100 miles away.

CHEEvES PUTS QU|ETUS UPON
 MIGRANTS MEN
New Cub Pitcher Sprung Lit tie Surprise that Had
 its Come Back.

NEW YORK, Aug 5-Johnny Ev- CTS, manager of the Chicago Cubs, trotted out his new pitcher, Virgil Cheeves, at the Polo Grounds some days ago, and gave the Giants such surprise that they have not, yet re. covered their equilibrium. The Giants, evidently. were in ignorance of the existence of MT Cheeves, and when he came out on the mound they and their friends gave him a reception which they thought was funny They omitted the 'v' from his name and dubbed him as Cheese" Cheese it. Virgil" etc. Even after Mr. Cheeves had shot over a few good ones the Giants continued their playful antics and it was only after they saw the score go glimmering that they woke up and admitted that Virgil was some pitch CT The misery attendant upon the advent of Virgil Cheeves may be best read in the score, which was ' to ? in favor of the Cubs, and the Giants were able to make only four measly hits.
 During Virgil Cheeves' reign on the red clay throne he say such phosphorescent lights as Fred Toney, Phil Douglas and Rube Benton twin kle for a time and flicker out as the lugubrious nine chapters progressed Toney shone brightly for a while but he finally became smeared and smothered by Chicago bats and ragged operations behind him. Douglas and Benton were mere hope less specks on a turgid horizon.
 Remarks about "camembert," and "de gorgonzola" bothered Virgil Cheeves not at all He was as cool as the proverbial cucumber and about as smooth. From the second to the sixth inning the Giants looked very much like a Bernard Shaw 50 to l shot as they lay becalmed before the rampant right arm of Virgil 1 Cheeves. In the sixth, after Burns and Bancroft had slthered into ob- scurity, Frank Frisch, who had a somewhat spectacular day in the Giants defensive department rammed a rollicking home run into the lower right field stands. He chased nobody home but himself, 1 however, and his foot was the last New York pedal to leave it's imprint upon the plate. The Cubs won the game in-the seventh when Terry lift ed a looping single over second
 1 If Cheeves comes back to this town again it is safe to say the Giants won't bother much about his name. As long as the Cubs are go ing nowhere in particular. it would look as though Evers might as well work his youngsters in regular turn and give them the benefit of full seasons experience. By next season the Cubs will prove real peril.

BILLIARD CHAMPION
 HOPPE INTENDS TO
 STAY IN TOURNAMENT

NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-Willie Hoppe, worlds champion billiardist. does not intend to withdraw from tournament competition, it has been announced in explanation of his re cent declaration that all of his flu ture matches for the title would be played on a winner-take-all basis.
 In the annual tournament Hoppe realizes, his manager, R. B. Benja min, stated, that second and third prizes should be given. and he has no objection to the tournament rules. He has established precedent, hod- ever, by expressing a willingness to meet all corners on winner-take-all basis and his announcement has brought a change in the rules for championship play, both in tourna- ment and challenge matches.
 Under the rules in vogue for about four years champions in the three modes of play. balkline, three-cush- ion and pocket billiards. have been called upon to defend their titles only once a year and then in the championship tournaments. They were not expected to entertain any challenges.
 Billiards now returns to the con ditions existing before the tourna- ment idea was adopted.
 Under the revised conditions tournament games will be at 400 points each, as in the past. but in the event of tie the deciding game will be at 800 points. Challenge matches played after the tournament will be at not less than 300 points and at as many points more as the rival players may agree upon. .r5i
 The next championship tournament will be held at Chicago from Novem- Der 14 to 19. It is expected that the meeting will be more of an invita- tion affair with only the leading balkline players requested to com pete. The tournament this year probably will be for the worlds championship rather than for the na- tional title.
 In announcing further conditions for Hopes challenge matches. Man. ager Benjamin stated that challeng CTS would be required to post as a side bet. .s1 900 for every 1000 points comprisiAg the match.

Portland fans are clamoring for new blood in the management of their club in the Pacific Coast League. They assert that the Me. Credies should step out and let some body else give the town winning ball club, something it has not had for six years. Judge McCredie comes right back at his critics and says he is perfectly willing to sell the club to any person or group of persons who will pay a reasonable price for it. He admits that per. haps new blood in both management and team is what is needed to re- vive interest in the national game in Portland.
 Given a winning ball club, Port land is one of the best minor league baseball cities in the country. This year the Beavers have occupied d consistent position in the cellar, and the fans have lost interest in the game.

Big Jim Riley, Vancouver recruit. who was recently sold to the St. Louis Americans for $5,000, has been farmed out to Terre Haute for fur ther seasoning. As Riley did not commence to play professional ball until this year. he can stand a lot of polishing in the bushes before he is ready to play in the big brush.
 Boston fans are sure the Braves are going to cop the National League pennant. A little matter of being eight games behind the leaders does not worry them any Look what we did in 1914" is the way they clinch the argument.

 Lee Fohl, manager of the St. Louis Club in the American League, has signed a contract for 1922. This is the answer made by President Phil Ball to the critics who have been blaming Fohl for the unsatisfactory showing of the Browns this year. Ball knows that injuries to some of his star players are the real reason why his club is not higher up in the race, and he has every confidence in the ability of the former Cleveland leader to make good.
 Right now the Brownies are play ing as good ball as any club in the league.
