best showings in their circuits. with
the difference that the American
league representatives already were
at the top and have maintained their

Less impressive than for some
weeks was the showing of the equally
ambitious Brooklyns. Their even
break in eight games cost them a few
percentage points. and today they are
further away from the leaders than
they were last Sunday. while the Bos
tons, in third place. are appreciably
nearer to the second position holders.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13-The steam ship Santa Ana, which left this city
 a few days ago loaded with Italian re- servists bound for Naples to join their
 regiments, has been reported by wire less as being afire at sea- The loca- tion of the vessel is 960 miles south east of Halifax. There are on board, besides the crew about 1700 reserv- ists who had responded to the call of their country to take up arms against Austria. The ship carried a full car go, which, however, contained no arms or ammunition but was composed large ly of foodstuffs. When the vessel was at the dock it had been set afire but the blaze was discovered by the watch man and extinguished before any harm was done. The authorities had sus- pected that efforts would be made to destroy the vessel, and a thorough search was made for bombs just before sailing time, though none were found.
