minor fact that each Of the gentle
men meeting in the final get-together
conference at Cincinnati is suspi-
cious and is concealing behind his
back a meat ak, which he would de-
light to bury in important portions

Do the magnates of organized ball
and the Federal league trust each
other? Not any more than Mexican
generals trust each other. Maybe
not so much, for the magnates are
better educated in clever tricks and
have more opportunities.
That is clearly apparent in the
acknowledged statements of Charley
Weeghman, president of some team
or other, probably the Whales and
maybe the Cubs.
Charles was talking about the suit
which the Federal league entered
against organized baseball last sea-
son, calling the organized gentleman
various unpleasant things and leav-
ing the inference that there could
never be pleasant associations.
will you withdraw the suit
against organized baseball?" Charles
was asked.
mot until the peace pact is signed
and sealed" replied Charles. 'We
might as well hand them a blank
check as withdraw the suit now"
Doesn't that signify loving trust
and faith in the fairness of the men
he is dickering with? You know it.
A fan who looks these peace ne
gotiations over carefully can have
lot of fun for himself discovering the
real estimate the sportsmen have of
each other. He begins to find out
that some of the things he has be-
heved for long time are true.

TRANSATLANTIC BARELY
ESCAPED SUBMARINE
White Wave of Torpedo. Seen
40 Yards Astern by Liners
Passengers.

LONDON, May 1S.-The liner Transyl-
vanla, carrying $40 passengers, narrowly
escaped the same fate as the Lusitania.
according to passengers who arrived
here today from Glasgow German
submarine shot a torpedo at the Tran
sylvania Sunday afternoon, they asserted,
but the death missile passed 40 yards
astern.
IT was standing, with two others, on
the Transylvania's forward deck about
4 o'clock Sunday afternoon" said Walter
r. Burston, of Kent. who was returning
to England from Jerome, Ariz. "One Of
the other passengers suddenly spled the
periscope of a submarine and called our
attention to it.
IAN instant later there was a flash
through the water and we saw the white
wake of a torpedo. 1t passed. as near
as can estimate. about 40 yards astern.

passengers, but sent word TO Captain
Black on the bridge. The Transylyania
Immediately adopted a zigzag course
She continued rushing about in this
manner for several hours, careening from
side to side in an alarming manner
Burston's statement was corroborated
by Kenneth Douglas an actor, who also
arrived here from Glasgow aboard the
o'clock train.
Burston said that the Pennsylvania,
which sailed from New York on the same
day the Lusitanla was sunk, was In
mldocean before her passengers learned
that any lives had been lost aboard the
big liner.
"An hour before the Transylvania sail
ed New York newspapers carried the
rumor that the Lusitania had been tor
pedoed," said BurstOn, but they also
had a report that she had been beached
without loss of life.
THE Transylvania received orders to
put into Glasgow and discharge her pas
sengers instead of proceeding TO Liver
pool with them. Until they arrived at the
Glasgow railway station yesterday after
noon most of the TrRnsylvania passen-
gers believed that the majority of the
Lusltania's passengers had been saved"
