Eight Ships Hunt
For Little Naval
Tug LongO Overdue
Fear that Vessel Which Left Hampton
Roads for Boston Last Sunday
is Lost.

WASHINGTON, Feb. B-Somewhere off
the Atlantic coast between Norfolk and
Boston, the little naval tug Nina with
thirty-two men on board, Is wRllowing in
the great pillows with broken machinery,
awaiting the arrival Of one OF eight gov
eminent vessels now speeding to its sup
posed location.
AS bad as is hat prospect, II is the best
hope OF the officials at the Navy depart
ment today. The alternative is that the
Nina is at the bottom of the sea, with just
a bare chance that It's crew has been taken
off by some passing vessel.
Last Sunday morning the Nina steamed
out OF Hampton Roads bound for Boston.
1t had just safely towed two submarines
from Boston to Norfolk, n was on its
homeward voyage. Before the day was far
advanced a stiff northwest wind sprang up,
making what sailormen call a nasty sea"
But no alarm was felt at the time for
the safety Of the Nina, for the gallant little
tug, built in the closing days Of the civil
war, had weathered many a worse blow.
Under ordinary conditions the tug should
ave arrived at the Boston navy yard last
Tuesday, but It was only yesterday that
the naval officers here began to feel seri-
Gus apprehension for its safety. As. no
word of It's arrival reached the department
today immediate search was ordered and
news made public TO enlist the aid Of coast
trading ships,
From Norfolk went the swift scout
cruiser Salem and the battleship Louis
lana, these vessels were instructed 20
cruise as far as Cape May along the
coast. From the New York nav yard the
collier Culgoa started on a cruise and It
will be followed shortly by the tugs Apache
and Pontiac. These three vessels will
make the march between Cape May and
Nantucket. The destroyer Lamson will
cruise off the Delaware capes.
The gunboat Castine and the collier
Caesar steamed out of the Boston ANY
yard to search the waters between Massa-
chussetts bay and Nantucket. Then the
revenue cutter service went to the as
s~istance OF the navy and orders were
flashed to cutters Acushnet and Gresham
at Boston and New London to join the
searching party.
The search would have been much sim
plified IL the Nina had been equipped with
a wireless outfit, but the Navy department
has not gotten as far down as tugs in
such equipment.
So the problem presented in this case is
known as a search problem in navy
strategy.

dropped a propeller or its cruise and was
blown off shore by the northwest gale.

Pokorney Denied
Reinstatement
Commission Holds that Playing
Under Assumed Name is Not
Valid Defense.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 1a-Playing under an
assumed name is not a legal avoidance Of
the rules OF organized base ball. This is
the substance OF a decision handed down
Saturday by the National Base Ball com
mission In the case OF Player Pokorney. APP
plication for whose reinstatement to the
eligible list was made by officials OF the
Toledo club Of the American association,
Pokorney was originally sold by Toledo to
Evansville, but never reported to that club,
and under an assumed name, played with
the California state league.
The commission in it's findings says:
The fact that P%okorney used an as
sumed name cannot be used as an argu-
ment why the ineligibility against him for
his fallure to report to the Evansville club
should be removed. The commission, there
fore, refused the request for a reversal Of
the finding heretofore made. The commits
sion also comm that when the time
limit of ineligibility against this player has
expired he be given notice to show cause
why penalty should not be inflicted against
him.

Good Schedule in store for Basket
Ball Fans.

Good Schedule in Store for Basket
Ball Fans.
The basket ball fans OF Omaha have a
treat in store for them as they will get to
see some of the classiest basket ball games
ever played in Omaha. The Tigers have
booked games with the Sioux City Giants,
the crack Company E team from Shenan-
doah, Ia, and will, in all probability, meet
the Kansas City Athletic club, and the
champion Salt Lake City Young Mems
Christian association teams. The latter two
games depends in a great measure on the
attendance that is accorded the Tigers"
in their game with Sioux city, AS large
guarantees must be made to suchvteams as
Kansas City and Salt Lake City, and since
the Tigers are financing their W games,
1t is therefore up 10 basket ball FAM Of
to show whether or not they want
to see some of the classiest games ever Of
fered.
That the Sioux City Giants nave the
fastest team this year that they ever
turned out is shown by their score against
the champion Ottumwa Young Mems
Christian association, whom they defeated
last week by a score Of A to 20. AS neither
the Sioux City Giants nor the Omaha
Tigers have lost a game this year, the
closest game OF the season is looked for
when these teams get together on -Wednes-
day night.
