ROMER MAY JOIN
~ Y. AMERICANS

~tenville twirler defeated the Lincoln
Giants while on the mound for the ia
maica Woodhulls, Romer has been re-
eeiving attention of every eastern lea
que. The Lincoln Giants are considered
the fastest semi-professional nine in the
eastern states and it is no surprise then
that "Artie,' the island "copper" has
received such wide renown of late.
Romer never seems to have an off-day.
Despite the fact that he has been de-
feated in his last two performances,
"Artie" has only allowed six hits in
the two battles. Seventeen batters
that faced Rome- on his last perform
ance, dropped the willow and took the
bench via the strike out route.
The Tottenville baseball fans believe
their favorite twirler would be a sue
cess in the Yank's fold and there are
many in this burg who believe the
same.

However "Artie' will try to get a

The lights Of the Titanic were still
shining, but she was sinking steadily
by the bow. The screams of men and
women began to increase in volume.
From the lifeboats the huge Titanic
loomed huge mass of blackness. dot.

these lights were steadily striking be

had decided to remain with him She
sank with him.
Women Row Lifeboat
In the hurry of embarking, cne of
the lifeboats had been lowered without
a single sailor in It, Three men had
been picked up by this boat but the
women were rowing. And the women
between the thwarts were screaming
to their loved ones in agony.
Then, suddenly, above all the wall

The lifeboats were pulling from the

they were still within sight Of the ship
the lights began to go out with start

The screams and shouts of those on
board still resounded through the air.
The last light went out and the
music ceased.

But, finally, all the boats had been
lowered. Then, the sailors, seeing wo

cried:
"All women to the lower deck!"
There began a rush to the lower

the women were seized by sailors and

But the Titanic settled deeper in the

was, that the officers of the ship drew
