I ,, the swollen Ohio and wind up bv
Un-lntt the skiff Into the eecond-storv
vind n w of his brother's house nnri
mooring the boat to a brass bed-

The trip from Ashland, Ky., to
I Portsmouth, Ohio, was made in tau-
lours and the distance Is forty miles
I Brldwell set out alone at 6 o’clock
n the evening and reached the sec-
I .nd-story window a little after 10
o'clock. His greatest difficulty was
avoid being crushed In the mass
,f drifting wreckage In the main cur
rant and at the same time prevent
•10 bark current from carrying the
„,at among the Inundated forests on
the river bank. ...
Portsmouth was In darkness when
Brldwell neared his home and he was
:: danger of being swept on down
me river. Luckily he recognised a
i uge coal tipple and started playing
oig league stuff on the oars we.l
* above the town. It required pluck and
.Mu to manage the little boat, but
Al was well equipped. On escaping
hie swirling currents It was an easy
•natter to steer the skiff to the sec
ond-story window and sing out. ‘Ye
ho. me lad, ye hoi’ Just like a regu
lar sailor
Brldwell owns three houses a'
Portsmouth. In one of them the wa
ter rose six feet. In another four and
a half feet and the dwelling his fam-
rly occupied took In thirty-eight
Inches of untidy liquids. The loss to
Brldwell Is about $500. His home
stands on a knoll and he feared the
family would be surrounded before
taking flight That was what worried
e athlete. He could neither receive
t or send word and worry drove him
n the risky boat trip. Meanwhile
Mrs. Brldwell had fired up the auto
mobile and made her escape from the
threatened knoll to higher ground
liree days before the place was
swamped. All of which goes to show
that Mrs. Brldwell Is a lady with a

FAMOUS HAWTHORNE TRACK
PURCHASED BY THOMPSON
CHICAGO. April 21.—John R.
Thompson, a Republican politician
and business man, has obtained an
option on the Hawthorne Race Track
lust outside of Chicago’s city limits.
The property during the racing
t.ays was controlled by Ed Corrigan
;.nd Richard Fitzgerald, but a ye-ar
go it passed Into the hands of
Thomas Carey.
t he transaction is given added sig
nificance from the fact that slmul-
laneous with It a bill for a State
Racing Commission was introduced
i the Legislature at Springfield.
Mr. Thompson has shown in the
past greater interest in harness
or«es than in the running end of

J AMES E. SULLIVAN, secretary-
treasurer of the Amateur Ath
letic Union of the United States,
who'has had more experience at man
aging world’s fair and exposition
games than any man living, lias ac
cepted the athletic directorship of the
Panama - Pacific international Expo
sition.
With “Jim - ’ Sullivan holding the
reins the success of the great expo
sition games is assured. Already he
has proved his merit as an organ
izer in more than one world’s fair
Outside of world’s fair games he has
shown his master hand as a builder
with the wonderful organization
known ay the Amateur Athletic Un
ion. This union is his work, his
structure from foundation up., his
hobby, and it has become world fa
mous.
Sullivan Is Prominent.
In 1900 Director Sullivan was as
sistant American director of the
Olympia at Paris. In 1904 he was ap
pointed head of the athletic games* of
the St. Louis Exposition, which were
also the Olympic games of teat year.
In 1900 he was American commission
er to the Athens Olympiad. In 1908
he was secretary of the American
commissioners at the London Olym
piad it Stockholm. He was athletic
director of the Buffalo Exposition in
1901 and of the Jamestown Exposi
tion in 1907.
The “big chief” is» enthusiastic over
the prospects for tlie holding of a se
ries of great sports events in San
Francisco and is of the opinion that
the nations of the world at large will
send their best athletes to compete
in a series of international games.
Sullivan announced upon his ap
pointment that he was in favor of
scheduling every form of athletics and
would include everything on the pro
gram from school children’s games to
aeroplanes. Anything and everything
between earth and sky will find a
place on the sporting calendar of the
1915 exposition games
The modern pentathlon, for which
the Olympic games < ommittee has do

will be the big drawing card for the
international athletes. 1 his is a med

the majority of the United States

N OW that the Southern League
season has started, the Question
again arises as to which city
has the fastest team. Every manager
in the country, be it In the large or
small organizations, is striving to
collect players who are fast on the
bases, and oftentimes a good hitter
is sacrificed to put a man in his
place who can negotiate the bases.
A fast team generally has all the
advantage over their slower oppo
nents. and unless superior pitching
and heavy hitting goes with a slow
teum, they cannot expect to cope with
a club that possesses good baserun-
ners.
In the Southern League it is about
a toss-up whether Atlanta or Birm
ingham lias the better baserunning
club. One of the new recruits of the
Urackers stole more bases last year
than any player now in the Southern
League. Roy Keating, who is now
covering shortstop for the Atlanta
team, during last season purloined 57
bases in the Virginia League. Of
course, the Virginia League, in which
Keating performed, is not as fast as
the Southern League, but teams *n
that organization had some very good
catchers, and therefore his record is
not a fluke one.
McGilvray Is Fast on the Paths.
At first base McGilvray is a better
baserunner than is Agler, although
Agler is above the average as a base-
runner. At second base, Whitey Al-
pennan, of the Atlanta team, will
steal over twice as many sacks as
will Marcan. Keating at shortstop
last year stole 57 bases, while Ellam
succeeded in beating the catcher’s
throw to the bag 27 times. Uarrol at
third base for Birmingham and Smith
for Atlanta can’t be compared, as
they did not play 1n anywhere near
the same number of games, although
it would appear from general obser
vation that Carrol was the better
baserunner.
In left field McBride, of the Birm
ingham team, proved himself a bet to.
baserunner than did Bailey, as in the
same number of games the Birming
ham left fielder purloined 25 sacks,
while the Cracker left fielder was
stealing 19. In a comparison of Wel-
chonce, of Atlanta, and Messenger, of
the Barons, the Birmingham outfield
er has the advantage, as in about the
same number of contests Messenger
pulled off 21 thefts, while Welchonco
could garner It.
A fair comparison could not be
made between Long, of the Atlanta
club, and Senno, of the Barons. How
ever. Senno, who played last season
in the Central Association with Ot
tumwa, committed successful larcen
ies 43 times in 120 games. Long in
63 games stole nine bases.
About an Even Break.
Taken collectively the Atlanta and
Birmingham teams size up rather
evenly in the baserunning department
of the game. It is very unlikely that
either Keating or Senno will be .is
successful in getting away with thefts
in the Southern League as frequent
ly as they did in the Virginia League
or the Central Association.
The Mobile club has quite a good
baserunning team, and the oid men
from the team of last year ranked
well up in baserunning iast season.
Here are the baserunning figures of
the four regular men of last year's
team: Paulette 22, Odell 31, Starr 29
and Jacobson 16.
Milton Stock, of Mobile, secured
from the Buffalo ciub of the Interna
tional League by way of New York,
showed that he was no snail on the
bases by copping 27 bases in that
fast organization. Clarke, who cov
ers left field for Mobile, has always
been considered a superior baserui-
ner, and it is hardly probable that he
has sloyed up to such an extent ’hat
he will be able to steal about 20 or
more bases this season.
Dave Robertson, in right field, is
almost an unknown quantity as re
gards baserunning. as he never-
played enough with McGraw’s club
last season to get n line on his ca
pabilities in this department, but
while playing at college and later
with the outlaw Tidewater League he
was recognized as tlie fastest man in
the league.
In Breen, Montgomery secured a
man who can get around the bases
as fast and successfully as any man
in the league. Wares, the little sec
ond baseman of the Montgomery
team, was the best baserunner in the
Southern League last year, with the
exception of Jimmy Johnston. Jant-
zen, who covers left field for Mont
gomery, is exceedingly fast on his
feet and should develop into a fine
baserunner.
If baserunning could decide a pen
nant race the race this season in the
Southern League would be between
Atlanta, Birmingham and Mobile,
with Montgomery right there should
her young outfield show speed.

T -irc first nail and board will be
laid to-day tor the big new five-
lap track on the oid Circus
Grounds. Jack Prince has been in
the city for one week, very busy
gathering together the necessary ma
terial. Prince qas built tracks in
Chicago and other laten cities. He
says he nas seveial new ideas to put
in use on the, track being built
here. A
This track will bold a speed of 90
miles per hour and on short rides
like live and ten miles the riders
should lie able go at the rate of
40 seconds to the mile. Motorcycle
racing has proven to be a big suc-
c ess in Chicago and the West for the
last several years.
The demand for these motordromes
is growing and shortly after the At
lanta track is finished Prince has
calls from Washington. D. C.. De
troit. Milwaukee. Wise and several
cities out in the Par Wesf.
In addition to having under con
tract all of the fast motorcycle
racing men. Prince also has several
of the best auto racers, such men as
Barney Oldfield. Teddy TeslafT. Ralph
De Palma and others. If ai range-
ments can be made Prince will build
one of iiis big Triple Radius tracks
in Atlanla ami give races here with
ail Of tlte crack automobile drivers
In the world.
But for the present he will confine
himself to the motordrome and show
Atlanta people some real sised and
close ran s. He expect* to have the
track finished by- May 10th. and to
hold the opening meet around that
date. These races will be run week
ly until September.

"Get 'out of the way and let
somebody fight that C A N
FIGHT.”—Johnny Kiibane’s message
to the lightweight champion of the
ring
This clever boxer, holder of the
world’s featherweight title, is willing
to go out of his class and battle for
the lightweight championship.
Meets Dundee Next Week.
One week from to-morrow night
Kiibane defends the 122 pound hon
ors against Johnnie Dundee, the New
York feather, the boys meeting be
fore the Pacific Athletic Club at Ver
non in a scheduled twenty-round con
test.
Should he win. Kilbane will on the
following morning, go through s»'e
formality of issuing a challenge to
the lightweight champion, Willie
Ritchie, posting $2,500 with-the writer
ns evidence *>f good faith.
“it’s just like this,” suid the < cam
pion's manager. Jlinmv Dunn, in ex
planation to-day. "After winning
over Dundee, we will have cleaned up
the featherweight division. Our
natural move is to go after the light
weights. Ritchie is a poor excuse
for a champion. Johnny and I have
talked the situation over for months
past and we feel confident that lie
can whip Ritchie if the latter will
make the lightweight limit, 133
pounds, ringside
Tom McCarey Favors Match.
“Promoter Tom McCarey likes the
idea and we have assured him that our
terms will be so easy to meet that
he will feel free to open negotia
tions with Ritchie.”
In Los Angeles. Johnny probably
would go to tiie post an even money
risk against Ritchie, as this is the
one city in America that does not
regard Ritchie as a real champion.
“I assured myself that Kilbane was
sincere before 1 consented to have
him go to the newspapers with his
plans,” said Promoter McCarey to
day.
“Billy Nolan, being a smart man.
knows that such a match would pack
the arena here and it would be just
like him to ‘call’ Kiibane’s hand.’’
THOMAS MEETS WHITE AT

ey! here in some time.
Thomas recently defeated Y.inkne
Schwartz. Eddie O'Keefe and Fi tnkie

boosted as the coming lightweight
champion. Charlie White has bested
such boys as Young Shugrue, Owen

DISTURBING BLADDER WEAKNESS
IE-RHEHATISM, QUICKLY VANISH
Even Most Chronic Sufferers
Find Relief After a Few
Doses Are Taken.
Backache, urinary disorders and
rheumatism are caused from weak,
inactive kidneys, which fail to filler
out the impurities and keep the
blood pure, and the only way on
earth to permanently and positively
cure such troubles is to remove the
cause.
Tiie new discovery. Oroxone. soon
relieves such conditions because it
reaches the very roots of tiie dis
ease. It soaks right into the stop
ped up. inactive kidneys, through
the walls and linings; cleans out
the little filtering cells and glands;
neutralizes and dissolves the poi-
sonoufc 3Bric acid substances that
lodgt In ihe joints and muscles to
scratch and irritate and cause
rheumatism; heals the inflamed
membranes of the bladder, and
cleans out and strengthens the
stopped up. lifeless kdneys so they
filter and sift all the poisons from
the blood and drive it out of the
s: stem.
So sure, so positive, so quick and
lasting are the results obtained
from the use of Croxone, that three
doses a day for a few days are ofien
all that is required to cure the
worst backache, regulate the most
annoying bladder disorders, and
overcome the numerous other sim
itar conditions.
It is the most wonderful prepa
ration ever made for the purpose,
it is so prepared that it is prac
tically impossible to take it into
the human system without results.
An original package of Oroxone
costs but a trifle, and all druggists
are authorized to return the pur
chase price, if Croxone fails to give
desired results, regardless of how
old you are. how long you have
suffered, or what else has failed t<i
cure.
