GERMANS SAY MINE
DESTROYED CRUISER
Yorck Is Believed to Have Been
Sunk by Explosives Laid by
Kaiser's Men
By Associated Press

Berlin, via Rome, Nov. Q, LIS a. m.
Only the scantiest authentic details
of the sinking of the German cruiser
miralty has received from Wilhelms-
haven little beyond the announcement
of the time and place of the accident
and number of men saved.
A fuller report, ii is expected, will
probably be available soon. 1t is def
nitely announced, however, that the
sinking was due to a German mine
and not to hostile attacks. The ship,
which was under way, presumably
a mine field and touched one of the
powerful German mines, which made
short work of the big cruiser.
The conduct of the crew, In the
moment of disaster, is described as
exemplary, and there is much regret
over the destruction of the cruiser
the heaviest individual loss as yet sus-
talned by the Germany navy.
The loss of the Yorck is counterbal-
anced in the German opinion, by the
news of the daring raid of a German
squadron into British home waters to
indulge in what is described here as
Ia bit of rat-hunting on it's own ac-
count"
The report from the commander of
the squadron states that the Germans
suffered no loss or damage.
In well-informed quarters the Brit
ish report of the sinking of a German
submarine by the destroyer Badger is
strongly questioned So far as known
no German submarines have been de-
stroyed beyond those whose loss was
reported earlier.
The Admiralty authorizes a positive
denial of the assumption that the
mines off the northwestern coast of
Ireland were laid by commercial
steamers under a neutral flag. The
mines, it is staed, were laid in a man
ner fully conformable to the usages
of war.

NO MYSTERY TOF|ND WHICH TEAMS WERE STRONG FOR MOLLY Montgomery, Memphis and Nashville Were Desir0us
 of Landing Him FOUR MANAGERS ARE NOW 1915 CERTAINTIES Bill Schwartz May Save His Head By Spurt-Lord Is Dissatisfied At Mobile-Finn and Gilks
 Are to Go

Rick Woodward asserted last night that three Southern league directors would willingly have taken Molesworth as man. ager for their clubs in 1915 had Birming- ham been willing to releavo him. He did not care to divulge what three clubs sought new pilot. but little reason ing will unravel the mystery. But five other clubs had representatives at the meeting. Atlanta Is bound to Billy Smith for 1915, while New Orleans has stated that Johnny Dobbs Is assured of his posi- tion next season. By this process of elim- nation, Memphis, Nashville and Mont gomery wanted Molesworth.
 This probably means that three new pilots will appear in the Southern next season. Bill Schwartz seems slated for the retired list at Nashville. for Presi- dent Shropshire has already announced that his finish will decide his fate. The ax is impending over Mique Films dome at Memphis. Bobby Gilks has ploted his last race for Montgomery
 Giks has stated frankly that he does not know whether he will be with Mont gomery again in 1915. IL is known that President Wilcox has appreciated his showing during the past few weeks with ms demOrauzeu macnlne. However, a change is assured in Montgomery. In all probability, Gilks will be assigned to scouting duty with Cleveland again. Seven players. now on the New Orleans pay roll, were culed from the minors by Bobby, and Johnny Dobbs has openly asserted that Gilts Is one of his most esteemed friends
 Mique Finn has done poorly at Mem- phis. While 1t Is true that tho Federal league broke up his alliance With the New York Giants. and thereby weakened his supply. the Irishman has been un- able to win, Secretary Tom Watkins. son-in-law of the owner--Russell Gardner, stated when attending the league meet ing. that the addition of new manager was being seriously considered at Mem phis.
 Two managers have already signed con- tracts for 19l5 Moose Mccormick has att tached his signature to iai5 Chattanooga red clip. while Billy smith signed last year for 19l4-15. Molesworth will be in Birmingham in 1915 Dobbs will direc ( New orleans. These four are certanties. Frisco Lord is not entirely satisfied with conditions at Mobile. The other three pilots are slated for the can, although Bill Schwartz may save himself by fin ishing high in the race. R. A. L.

THREE CLUBS BRACE IN FINAL EFFORT ID. LAND IN RUNNING Mique Finn Buys Pitcher
 and Two Catchers BILL SMITH BUYS TRIO OF BUSTERS Chattanooga, Memphis and Atlanta
 Sign Youngsters Hoping to
 Find Needed Strength

Grabbing the likeliest talent in the phis are making a desperate effort to finish up in the running. Mique Finn announced the purchase of Pitcher Cochran from the Charleston club in the South Atlantic league last night The Turtle boss during the week has purchased two catchers-Marshall from Charleston and Andreen from the Cen tral association. When the GA l.. cur tain falls Memphis may give Farmer and Shirley trials In championship games. As Finn secures many tips from the New York Giants scouts. the youngsters ought to show we'll.
 Marshall swatter 1928 with the Charleston club. while Andreen was the leading hitter of the Central associa- tion. Cochran was considered one of the best in the South Atlantic. The chubby Turtle pilot has a string of late additions in Karr. Lusk, Wells Andreen. Marshall and Cochran.
 =
 Moose Mccormick Is preparing for next year His pitchers have wavered without exception and he now bases his 1915 hopes on what he may de- velop. Charlie Lille, the Washington and Lee star. has been released for this season, but has been offered an in- creased salary to report next year. The big collegian has shown worlds of promise, but Mccormick wanted to give McCurrie, a North Carolina semi-pro- fessional trial and decided to drop Lille. McCurrie will report in Birming- ham.
 Pitcher Morgan and Shortstop Cav eny, purchased from Salt Lake City on Bill Bernhard's recommendation. have proved to be promising. Pitcher Lefty Ross, the object of squabbIe between Chattanooga and Nashville, and Mcfarland, purchased from the Nieorgia State league, are being over looked under fire. Mccormick believes he will go to the front in 1915. Billy Smiths double victory over the Billikens sent Atlanta hopes soaring The Crackers are not far behind the Barons. While Bankston, the leading hitter of the Georgia State league, se- cured to replace Welchonce, has not de- ilvered telling blows, he is expected to spurt. Pitcher Filligem recently ac- quired from Thomasville, made a cred litable debut. Third Baseman Waldron of LaGrange has been purchased on the recommendation of Linn LaFitte. With the recall of Pitcher Voss, Smith has a quartette of youngsters.
