Hope They'll Get Into St. Louis Some Time This Summer. (Bpoctal to The Evening World.) (LTON, Ill, June §—Among thou mds of refugees whore homes have gen swept away by the raging flood nd in a town half covered by water the | few York baseball team has been stranded since early this morning. ‘The last few miles’ run was exciting enough to make every man jump out of his berth. Water dashed up to the win- dows, eteumboats and yachts were pip- ing their notes of warning and for a moment it looked as though the Polo Grounds would never agnin see Me- Graw's new Giants, Charley Babb was the most terrified, being the only player who could not swim. Frank Bowerman, who rolls logs in Michigan, promised to look after the white-halred shortstop if it came to making shore hand over hand. The train finally pulled into the little station, where many hundreds were gathered earrying bundles of clothes and what- ever valuables they could seize. The town was entirely out of pro- visions, and {t took three hours before the club could get a meal of ham and exes, and wash it down with muddy water. ‘The only way of reaching St, Louls was ty the steamer Spread Eagle. which is scheduled to leave here at noon. This would still get the team to Bt. Louis in time to play ball, but no ‘one believes the boat will be away be- fore 2 o'ciock, so it js doubtful if the Glants can play to-day. McGraw got busy right away and tried to arrange an exhibition game with the iocal team here and make enough to buy Panama hats for the boys, but he learned that the diamond was seven feet under water, and there 4a no water polo club here. Dan McGann, Mertes, Miller and Me- Giznity put on gum boots and formed themselves into a iife-raving corps, nelp- ing to rescue forty cases of beer from a submerged saloon, and all the boys chipped in for @ destitute mother and five children, who were taken from the Toof of a log cabin last night, The Mississippi is twenty miles wide here, with a current like Hell Gate. Houses, porches and stables are tearing down the stream, and the Glants would much prefer remaining here to embark- tng ‘on a perilous trip. YACHTS CAUGHT IN THE DENSE FOG. Had Started for Ocean Race When the Thick Weather Caused It to Be Called Off. HIGHLANDS OF NAVESINK, June 4—A thick fog that lifted and fell spas- modically put a damper early to-d ‘on the prospects of an ocean race be- tween Reliance, Constitution and Co- lumbia. All three had hoisted sail and taken tow lines to clear the Hook when the fog, that had given promise of 1ifting. @uddeny thickened and the race was called off for the day. They will race to-morrow if weather sonditions are favorable. — RESULTS AT HARLEM. (Special te The Frening World.)
