when the Saints made two after Omaha
had made one in each the second and
third. One must tell of the homer made
by Home Run Haggerty Slugger Bill
Schipke. He hit the ball so hard that It
bored hole in the left field fence and 1t
took the united efforts of three Saints to
extricate 1t, but Bill had crossed four bases
and another home run was added to his
already long list. Howard followed with
a hit right in the same place, but his did
not stick to the fence as hard as Slugger
Bill's and Molineaux dug 1t out by the
time Ivan had reached third.
Mccall was a trihe wild and passed six,
made three wild pitches and hit man.

japanese Torpedo Boats Played Princi-
pal Role in Defeat of the
Russian Fleet.

The triumph of Admiral Togo and the
disaster to the Russian feet are both grow
ing as further particulars Of the battle arc
received. 1t now appears that several OF
the Russian warships were driven ashore
on the coast of Tsuhlma and the adjacent
provinces of Japan. There We're many dead
and wounded aboard the vessels Twelve
hundred of the wounded have been taken
to Sasebo.
Late advices indicate that the annihila-
ton of the Russian fleet has been practl-
cally accomplished. The japanese are re-
ported to have followed ships which got
away after the first engagement and have
sent them to the bottom or effected their
capture.
Now that the battle has been fought,
there are two questions to be answered.
One OF these is chiefly of interest to diplo-
mats. VIII the Russian government, its
sea power gone. persist in continuing the
struggle? The other question relates 10
the chara cter of the battle itself
Naval officers are asking how the Japa-
nese admiral succeeded in dealing such
enormous destruction to a nominally equal
fleet with little damage to himself.
Whether his heaviest blows were struck
with torpedoes, with mines or with shells
from the heavy guns aboard his battleships
viii have much to do in determining tho
future of naval warfare
When the Russian fleet was seen ap-
preaching the Korea strait on Saturday
morning Admiral Togo received prompt
word from his scouts between Tsushima
and Quelpart Island. His fleet was at Ma
sampo. Two hours later wireless mes
sage told him that the Russians were pass
ing through the eastern channel, between
| Tsushima and Japan. He left his base and
| steamed full speed around the northern end
Of Tsushima, and when he dou'ded the
island he saw the Russians coming In two
columns With a terrific fire on the head
of the starboard column. which was COM
posed Of the battleships, he threw the Rus
slams into disorder. Continuing his assaGt
he forced them steadily eastward toward
the japanese coast.
Here the japanese admiral let loose a
swarm of torpedo boats. Repeated attacks
were delivered. Every vessel that few

Some of the Russian ships were sunk at
once. Others were driven ashore, where
they hoisted white flags. Still others
escaped for a time. to be followed and de-
stroyed.
Peace talk in Washington centers in tho
suggestion that President Roosevelt tender
his good offices to the Russian government,
with a view't ending the war. Mr. Taxa
hira, the japanese minister called on the
President late last evening at the White
House 1t is not known that his visit had
anything to 30 with the peace question, but
it has revived gossip to the effect that nego-
tiations are imminent
