 At the minor league meeting re-

 the big noise. He put over two deals
 that overshadowed anything else
 transacted at the minor league con ference.
 One day he startled the natives by giving George Burns, his veteran star; Catcher Gonzales and Si00,0O0 to boot for Heinie Groh
 It was known that McGraw wanted Groh. The Chicago Cubs also were after the star third sacker. The Cubs made a big offer. one that would have scared off most man agers. Not lawn McGraw. It was the Cub offer that forced him Co pay such an extravagant figure for Groh. The next day McGrsw threw a bomb into the meeting by paying the San Francisco club $75.0o0 for First .aseman O'Conncll. an untried minor league ball player.

 Duel With Police
Republican A. p. Leased WireI

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 26-Three men were arrested today following a pistol fight with police in which Acting Captain James Macdonald was wounded after he and five other of- ficers had responded to a tip" that a safe had been blown in 8 grocery store and that another was about to be robbed in an adjoining drug store.
 More than 100 shots were eX- changed between the police and two of the men found in the drug store the front of which was badly dam aged by bullets. Names of the two were given as George White and Harry Carter both of Chicago. The third man, whose name was given as Richard Emerson. said to be from Kansas City and who is declared by police to have shot Macdonald, was arrested in another part of the city. Police say he acted as a lookout for his companions and shot Macdonald as the latter and other officers were driving toward the drug store in an automobile.
 Carter was slightly wounded in the fight that followed.
 Police tonight are searching for three women and one man who they declared are accomplices of the yegg- men. The trio under arrest as well as the women held deny there are any others in the robbery. however.
 It was said tonight that Captain Macdonald may loose his foot as a result of the wound in his ankle Thousands of Omahans visited the scene of the shooting today. Local authorities believe they may have captured the gang which has blown nearly 25 safes here within the last five weeks.

the publicity given such sales make the road Co success more difficult?
 It is my opinion that any player who Is bought at fancy figure. i'm mediatcly assumes a handicap. The public naturally feels that a player who costs so great an amount should be a star from the very outset. Of course that IS a mistake. However. the public doesn't giye that fact much consideration.
 Marty O'Toole. bought by Pitts burg at a price Of S2e. 500 hack in 1912. price that startled the base ball world. never was of any great value to the Pittsburg club.
 Larry Chapelle was a downright bust" A big star In the minors. he couldn't make the grade in the ma joTs. He was never more than a substitute during his very short career.

 All of these players brought bet ter than slO.0OO when disposed of to the big leagues.

CAVE CREEK ON
 RAMP PACE CUTS
 ARIZONA CANAL
Waters Are Not Likely To Threaten City, However Believe Flood Will Not Prove Serious

Swollen by the Christmas rain Cave Creek took the bit in its teeth yesterday and started on another rampage. At s:30 o'clock last night its flood waters broke through tht Arizona Canal and started spreading slowly southward, but indications early this morning were that they would never reach the city.
 Reports to officials Of ths
 Water Users association at 1:so
 o'clock this morning were that
 the Cave Creek flood waters were
 still two and half or three miles
 north of the Grand canal, and
 that the volume of water passing
 through the break in the Arizona
 canal had not increased in several
 hours, indicating the crest had
 been reached. The water was ex-
 pected to reach the Grand canal
 about 4 o'clock, but no one could
 say whether it would come in
 suff ient volume to break
 through and head south. In any
 event, officials said, 1t was ex-
 tremely doubtful that the flood
 would come nearer Phoenix than
 the state fair grounds, and prob
 ably not that far.
 The break in the Arizona canal, which with the other canals has been emptied the night before. occurred near Lateral l3ja, and was about 50 feet in width. Much of the water was carried off in the canal and lat erals. and the rest started spreading out to the south. The Water Users association meanwhile had crews of men at work on the canals strength ening them.
 Officials of the association early this morning inclined to the belief the flood would not become danger ous, although that of course de- pended on the volume of water still to come down Cave creek, from which no reports had been received. It was considered possible all the flood waters could be carried off in the Grand canal, while in case 1t broke they would spread over a con siderable area and not penetrate into the city.
 Residents in the western and northwestern parts of the city last night were showing much anxiety and the sheriffs office arranged to notify residents in the threatened districts in case the flood became serious. It was pointed out, how ever, that even in case the flood increased in volume it could not reach town until this morning, while prospects were it would not arrive at all.
