being so drawn as to cover attacks on
belligerent vessels on which America ,
were travelling.
In diplomatic quarters the attack on
the Gulfight recalled similar expert
ences of other neutral craft with Ger
man submarines. A Norwegian and a
Dutch steamer We're topedoed recent
ly, but so far as could be recalled
here by officials no lives were lost.
In these cases the German govern
ment besides promising to pay dam
ages for the vessels destroyed, en-
pressed Its regret at the occurrences.
PROBABLY ACCIDENTAL.
The language Of the American note
which said Germany would be held to
strict accountability" has never
been interpreted by high officials here.
The possibility of any action other
than demand for damages in the
present case is considered remote,
however, because of the belief Of Off
Gals that the attack on the Outright
probably will be found to have been
accidental and not deliberate.

but the latter declined to give a def

That another game between the two

can not be denied, and it is hoped
Schuman will round his men up and
again play the MarOOns. Chicago is
the best college team to visit the Isl

Saints was great one. Nevertheless
the defeated are always entitled to
another chance and the Saints should
accept the def of the visitors. Chica

The Nereide was attacked by an

SUGGESTS GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP OF TEAMS

Some novel ideas are being advanced
in connection with the proposed reor-
ganization of the South Michigan Base
ball League for 1916. One plan calls
for a $500 appropriation from each
city represented, together with the as
surance that at least 100 season tickets
at s. each will be sold before the club
signs it's players for the season. In re-
turn the club agrees to play free base
ball every day in the week except Sat
urdays and Sundays, when a nominal
admission charge will be made. Munlc.
ipal parks and iers are not new, but
baseball clubs under practically the
same classification are a bit advanced,
to say the least. 1t may, however, be
but the fOrerunner of government
ownership of the big leagues.
