That more Of the ships 1s1 pas

the efficiency Of Captain Finch and his
seamen. The crew of the Arabic had

and lower the boats over the ships

any warning Of the attack.

BIG GERMAN "u" SENDS
ARABIC BENEATH WAVES
Passengers See Torpedo Approachns but Unable to Detect
Submarine Captain and Crew, Prepared for Attack
Hurry Passengers Into Life Boats

LONDON, Aug. 2O.-The submarine
which sank the Arabic is believed to
be one of the big new "U" boats of
the German navy. It had evidently
been lying in wait alongside Of the
steamer lane of Fastnet for some
time. There is strong patrol of
British warships in that vicinity, but
the submarine managed to elude
their vigilance and escaped.
One of the warships of this patrol
squadron conveyed the lifeboats of
the Arabic to Queenstown.

Elkt0n. 9: New Castle. 6.

The Elkton-New Castle game at
Elkton last Saturday was first
nightmare. then a wardance. The
first inning came near throwing the
fans" into spasms. Sloniker grabbed
up little infeld hit and threw it
away. Coslett let ground balls
through like he was a seive. Joe Clay
couldn't locate the plate and insisted
on furnishing free transportation to
the visiting batters. Consequence
three great, big unearned runs chalk
ed up for New Castle in the first in
ming; and that looked big enough to
win. But Elkton's bad inning was
over and the boys had plenty of fight
left in them. They intended to get
those three runs back-and then some.
They did, albeit the great Mr.. Gallag-
her had to be slaughtered in the get
ting. 1t was brutal. but quite beau
tiic withal the way the Elkton braves
swung their war clubs on the said
Gallagher, until they drove him to his
wig wan; and Mccall took up the
burden. Sixteen hits We're gathered
in by the home boys, and good heal
thy drives they were, too. Meantime
New Castle only succeeded in getting
six hits off Clay and Smith-pretty
much all their scoring being due to
loose fielding by the Elkton boys.
