C hicago, April ai.—ai Briaweii is bark with a thrilling story of hla adventures In the floo'i. .grid" does not think much of the I exploit. At least he Is not setting I himself up a* a hero. All he did ' va , float forty mile* In the dark 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- | rtead. 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 bean. 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 1 he sport, but should the Springfield ■Hi pass the chances are said to be in favor of running races at the his toric track.

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 nate 1 a special medal. Sullivan thinks will be the big drawing card for the international athletes. 1 his is a med ley” affair, taking In horseback rid ing. revolver shooting, swimming and running, and appeals particularly 'o the unm athletes of Europe.

By Jack Law. 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. Kilbane Wants to Battle Ritchie © © O © © 0 O Feather Champ After Light Title 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. Baseball Summaries. SOUTHERN LEAGUE. Games To-day.

L OS ANGELES, CAL., April 21 — "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.

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 NEW ORLEANS TO-NIGHT NEW ORLEANS.

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.
