Key Bridge Main Link Remaining With

at Georgetown.

AS the swollen Potomac forced the
Tidal Basin to overflow and back it's
waters up Seventeenth street toward
Constitution avenue, Army engineers
felt early this afternoon they had made
Washington secure from the ravages of
flood by completion of sand-bag dixie
behind the Navy and Munitions Build
ings and awaited the l9-foot flood stage
predicted for E pm.
Meanwhile, the lashing river flowed
Just under the floor of Chain Bridge,
which usually swings 26 feet above the
channel, and threatened the Arlington
County water supply, carried from
Washington over a main attached to the
BRIDGE Little hope was held out that
the bridge would survive the pounding
long.
The waters forced the caretaker to
abandon Sycamore Island, Md, near
Little Falls, as cottages and tent plat
forms were swept away. The buildings
left were torn from their foundations
and turned at strange angles By night
fall every structure on the place was ex-
pected to be gone.
Boat sheds, cottages and houseboats
were torn from their foundations and
moorings on the Virginia and District
shores just above Key Bridge, one Of the
two traffic arteries between Virginia
and Washington remaining open.
AS the flood covered Virginia roads,
the President ordered dismissal of all
Government employees whose homes
are in that State. Highway Bridge ap-
proaches were barricaded early by the
Virginia Highway Commission and at
1l:45 the span was officially closed to
traffic.
Water from an old sewer which emp
ties into the Tidal Basin bubbled up into
Constitution avenue at Sixteenth street.
The District rushed workmen at once to
anchor six manhole covers and stop the
flood with sandbags. The John Paul

worse for her narrowing experience,
Mrs. Eva Dell Myers, 5O-year -old
widow. was brought ashore at Syca-
more Island shortly before noon to-
day after having been marooned all
night on top of an outbuilding 800 feet
from the Maryland shore at Glen

Mrs. Myers was rescued in l5-foot
river skiff manned by w. Z. Swanson
and John McCann.
The two put of from Swainson's
home about three miles above Glen
Echo, rode downstream to Mrs. Myers
and then came to the shore about half
a mile below. Swanson refused to
land at that point, however, telling the
throng that had watched the rescue
from the shore he had better landing
at Sycamore Island and put of again
into the roaring stream.
Home Swept Downstream.
Mrs. Myers home was swept several
hundred feet downstream. Her dog
and chickens took refuge on the roof,
but were lost when a tree fell on it.
Upon landing, Mrs. Myers was taken
in a taxicab to the home of DR.
Beatrix A. Bickel of Glen Echo. who
is q librarian at the Army Medical
Library and q personal friend OF the
rescued woman.
Today marked the second time Mrs.
Myers had been saved from flood
waters in the Potomac, the last time
being in February, 1885.
George E. Graham and v. B. Hewitt
of Glen Echo, who rescued her at that
time, were among the spectators today

The toll of death pushed
toward 100 today in the most
disastrous flood devastation
in the history of the Eastern

merge populous Wheeling

dozens of towns with it's an
CRY crest.
The latest list of dead, by

death was recorded when a Hungarian n

GRIMM AIDS CARDS
IN DOWNING CUBS.
lntercedes for Dean After
Fight-Diz Then Drops
Bruins Out of Lead.
BY PAUL NICHOLSON,

Associated Press Sports Writer.
HOULD the base ball fates give
the st. Louis Cardinals the 1896
National League pennant by one
- game or less over Chicago's
Cubs, Charles Grimm probably would
60 down in the frayed record book as
the Good Time Charlie" who gave
away the flag.
The Cub pilot made the sportsman
like gesture yesterday of allowing
Dizzy Dean to remain in the first game
of the important Cub b-Cardinal series
after the pitcher was about to be
chased out by umpires for fighting Tex
Carleton.
Grimm talked the jumps into letting
Dizzy stay, and the Red Bird star
proved his gratitude by handcuf1ng
the Cubs. to 3, dropping them to sec
ond place.
The chances are that the Cards,
who drove Lonnie Warneke to cover
with a four-run barrage in the fourth
inning to break up close game, would
have won without the great Dizzy. If
that game along separates the two
teams at the finish, however, Grimm
undoubtedly will be accused of being
too tender-hearted.
Stung by the quips flung at him by
Carleton, who celebrated an of day
by doing lot of shouting, Dizzy sud-
denly left the pitching mound in the
first inning and raced toward the Cub
dugout.
The fiery Carleton leaped out and
they clinched and scuffled until play
ers separated them. To the amaze
ment of 10000 fans, Dean resumed
the mound and 1t was explained that
Grimm had pleaded successfully
against his expulsion.

BREADON THANKS GRIMM.
Owner Of Cards Praises Cub Pilot
For His Sportsmanship.

ST. LOUIS, August IL Op).-presi-
dent Sam Breadon of the st. Louis
Cardinals, by letter has thanked
Manager Charlie Grimm of the Chi
cago Cubs for requesting that Dizzy
Dean be kept in the game after his
fist fight yesterday with Pitcher Tex
Carleton.
Il want to thank you for the fine
sportsmanship you showed this aft
ernoon," Breadon wrote. when you
waived your rights and agreed to
allow Dizzy to continue in the game,
you showed a fine spirit and con-
sideration for the people of St. Louis
who support base ball.
"The umpires told me that they
would have had to expel Dizzy from
the game had you not done the fine
thing you did. You are a credit to
base ball, your club and your home
town Of St. Louis"
