Agents of the Virginian and the
Partisan at Montreal think the Par

be of assistance, but the Virginian,
probably too late, proceeded on her
voyage. The latter will not be in
touch with wireless until she
reaches the Irish coast.
The latest reports here from the
Virginian were that she could not
reach the Titanic before 10 o'clock
this morning, eight hours after she
went down. 1t is equally doubtful
about the Partisan.

Another liner, the Partisan, of

from Glasgow for Halifax on April
6. is already close at hand and as
sisting in the work of rescue.
The Baltic and Virginian also are
near the scene, and the Olympic ap-
parently is near at hand, as the
wireless information concerning the
transfer comes from Capt. Had
dock, of the Olympic.
The first news of the accident
was received by the wireless opera
tor at Cape Race. 1t said:
Have struck an iceberg. We
are badly damaged. Rush aid"
Within half hour the Virginian
of the Allan line had been COM
municated with and her captain
was headed directly to the scene.
Shortly afterward the Virginian
sent the following 30 her local
agents;
~ Titanic says she is badly dam
aged as result of striking an Ice
berg. She demands immediate as
sistance and We are rushing to her
help"
From time to time other wireless
advices were received. In each 1t
was stated the Titanic was still in
touch and it was not until 1927
that the Yirginian reported she had
lost the Titanic.
A wireless message from the IT.
tanic, received shortly after mid
night to-day, announced that the
giant new liner had struck an ice
,Serg off the banks of Newfoundland

lifeboats began at once. The acci-
dent occurred at 1925 o'clock last
night. Two hours later the ships
wireless apparatus, which had been
working so badly as to permit OF
only intermittent and fragmentary
messages, failed completely.
The last words sent by the OPP
orator told that the vessel was APP
parently doomed, sinking by the
head" and that the women pas
sengers were being rushed into the
1ifeboats. A reassuring feature
was that the weather was calm and

away.

BASEBALL SCOUTS
HAVE HARDER WORK

Baseball scouts this summer are
complaining about the scarcity OF
good ball players in minor leagues.
The men who make a living by scour-
INK little leagues for available tai
cent for the big show declare that sell
dom have they encountered fewer men
who look really promising, VINO snow
the earmarks OF coming stars
Many of those encountered who do
look like Corners are not TO ne touch
cd, because they are big league farm
hands. They are playing with minor
teams until such time as their major
owners Shall have need Of them.
The players I'm the smaller leagues
who possess real ability are for the
most part held az productive prices
OF course as the opening DAY OF the
drafting season draws nigh, most or
the minor club owners will sell their
stars, or at least, they will get rid OF
them for the time being under some
arrangement with a major league
team, which will permit or their re-
turn next spring.
Howard Earl says that since Bar
utl bitllubh pau FeAfouV LOT marty
OToole. every minor league owner
in the country is trying to break
into the limelight by dIsposing or a
star youngster at a record price.
Some OF the demands made along this
line are really ridiculous. One own
er, for instance, asked $4,000, and two
players for a pitcher who had won
~ games and lost 10 in a Glass G
league. The twirler. when looked
over by the scouts, showed numer-
GUS weaknesses, some OF which II
might take him years TO overcome,
yet the club owner expected TO get
a fortune out OF him, and then allow
the man who bought him 70 wait FOR
three or four seasons before getting
back any Of the money expended.
We hear a great deal these days
about the poor downtrodden minor
magnates. and about the hardships
1hey have 10 endure at the hands Of
the grasping big leaguers. It would
be Interesting to the fans IL one
could tell in full the other side of the
story, and relate some of the incidents
which occur almost daily I'm the deal
ings between the big fellows" and
