Can Fielder Jones come back? That
is the question that is agitating the
Chicago White Sox fans. 1t is said
that the former chief of the Sox con-
templates returning TO the game next
season. Ban Johnson is authority for
the statement, and Ban is the best
authority there is in the American
league.
The st. Louis Cardinals have re-
called Pitcher Ed Higgins from
Bloomington and he will return to
the big leagues at once. This will
cripple bloomington somewhat, but
inasmuch as Higgins does not seem
to be as effective now as he was ear
Iier in the season it will be easier to
satisfactorily fill his place.

FERRYBOAT AND SUBMARINE COLLIDE
Submerged PIuvoise Came up Under
SideWheeIer and Battered Out
of Shape.

Paris.-Official advices confirm the
loss Of the submarine PluViose in the
English Channel Thursday. Admiral
B. de la Payres, the minister of ma
rine, left for Calais upon receiving
word of the accident.
Torpedo boat destroyers have been
dispatched to the scene from Dunkirk.
Chains have been attached to the
submarine. A diver reached the Plu
voise at nightfall and heard rapping
in the interior.
Calais, France.-The ferry boat Pas
de Calais, crowded with cross-channel
passengers, had just left Calais Thurs
day for Dover when one Of her side
wheels experienced a violent shock.
The captain believed that his boat had
struck submerged buoy and stopped
his vessel. A moment later the hull
Of a submarine, the Pluvoise, came to
the surface short distance astern.
A boat was hurriedly launched from
the ferry boat and went alongside the
stricken craft, but the sailors pounded
in vain against her metal sides, and
in a few minutes the submarine sank
again.
The PluVoise, with a crew Of twenty
four men and three officers, left Ca
lais fifty minutes before the time 1t is
presumed she came UP under the pad
die wheel of the Pas de Calais. Some
authorities believe that the naptha res
ervoirs of the Pluvoise burst.
The general fear is entertained that
the Pluvoise received a vital blow
from the paddle wheel of the Pas de
Calais, and that some of her plates
were crushed Even if the crew sue
ceeded in closing her water-tight CON-
partments they will not be able to sur
vive for any great length of time. OF
the twenty-seVen men in the Pluvoise
three were officers, including Comman-
dant Pratt of the submarine division
of Calais.
