THE GRIP OF BASEBALL.

1t is remarkable how the game of base
ball has gripped the American public in
recent years. Always since the game
gained the dignity of being played in
regularly constituted leagues the people
have eyinced an interest in the sport I;
and that interest really has been growing
in recent years instead of diminishing,
as one might expect. And now the eli
max has been reached in the post-season
series played for the championship of the
world, so-cslled. Tens of thousands Of
people each day during the series eagerly
striving for admission TO the baseball
park, while hundreds of thousands, yes,
millions of people, further distant fol-
low the progress OF the games with
marked ayidity as the dispatches are bull
letined. So intense is the interest that
there is a demand for the news in the
tar distant corners of the continent. III
Boston is baseball crazy, fguratively
speaking, then California is likewise
stirred TO an unusual interest. From
the far south TO points across the inter.
national boundary line up north, men,
women and children anxiously await
news of the contests. Indeed, IL is not
wide of the truth 10 assert that during i
the past five days the one event Of SUI
preme Importance Transporting in the
United States has been the worlds series
played in Boston and Philadelphia. The
game proved a magnet not alone for the
eallow youth but for the professional
man as well. II gripped men in all walks
of life, from the president down 70 the
humblest worker; and President Wilson
even lent his presence 20 one Of the
games played in Philadelphia, and no
doubt be received information interested
~ each day Of the contests. For the
time being, baseball has been the thing
Of supreme Importance, albeit Of mere
transitory importance And who shall
say that the sport, incoBsequential a. Il
may seem 10 the uninitiated. does not
accomplish considerable good through
bringing the corners Of the nation into
somewhat oloser relationship Baseball
serves efioaciously to weld the hetero.
genous masses together.

YACHT WITH GERMAN
 CREW DRIVEN ASHORE

CoterbIanche, La. Oct. 2o.-The power yacht Two Sisters, which is said to have cleared from Galveston for Havana early in September with a German crew aboard, is ashore on the coast southeast of this place. ac- cordfng to fishermen arriving here today. The yacht was driven on the beach during the recent hurricane. it was said According to the fisher men the captain and three members of the crew left the vessel shortly af- ter it went ashore and have not re- turned since.
 None of the fishermen could say whether the yacht had a gun aboard, but they declared it carried provi- sions to supply the small crew for several months.
 British agents recently reported it was believed that several yachts were fitted out in California and on the Atlantic coast to be manned by Ger man crews, to attack tank ships transz porting fuel oil from Mexico for the British navy.

 The credit for clearing up the mys- tery belongs to State Policeman FIur- ley who was asked to come to New town for this investigation by the au- thorities.

lswhere they are taught the rud1ments 1 of education and undergo preliminary 1 training lasting. from four to six months, to prepare them for duties | aboard ship. It has become neces- sary, therefore, owing to the larger number of men in the service, to in l crease the number of apprentice sea-
 men 1n order to provide the flow of new men required to fill vacancies in the ranks as they occur.
 Additional Marine Officers.
 '4The increase in the Marines is
 based on a 20 per cent increase of en-
 listed men of the navy and is required,
 to provide for the usual marine com
 p1enents of ships under construction,
 as we'll as for advance base organiza-
 tions for operations with the fleet. To
 officer these additional men, it is rec
 commended that there be appointed one EBrigadier General, to command the
 advance base regiments; two Colonels'
 two Lieutenant ColoneIs, six Majors,
 one Colonel and Assistant Quarter master, 14 Captains, IA First Lieuten-
 ants, 13 Second Lieutenants, Is War
 rant Officers, six Quartermaster' Clerks, one Paymaster's Clerk, or 54 commissioners and g Warrant Off, 4cers. This increase in officers is in ac- eordance with the established ratio be- tween officers and men.
 There should also be an increase in the number of line officers to officer the ships soon to be commissioned, but as the Naval Academy is the only source of supply, the increase reeom-z mended is in the Midshipmen. Under. the existing laws governing the ap- pointment of Midshipnqen, the Naval Academy will not be able to graduate Midshipmen in numbers sufficient to officer the additional ships conten- plated in the new program, and rec concentrations will be made to in crease the number of Midshipmen at the academy by not less than 250.
 s'The European War has shown the necessity for a skilled flying corps, whose members need to be experienced naval officers or educated as such, in view of which a special flying corps, to which expert civilian flyers may be appointed, has been recommended for the naval organization. This would esta blish a field for service for the 11l- creasing number of competent avta- I tors wiling to join such an arm of the service, who cannot, and could not hope, under prevailing conditions, to do so unless they either enlisted in the. navy proper or graduated from the Naval Acaderny.''
 General characteristics of the battle cruisers planned contemplate ships nearly 800 feet long. between 90 and 100 feet in beam, and with six tnrbine- driven propeIIers, to make a. minimum speed of 35 knots an hour. Even the new feet of scout cruisers will not equal the battle cruisers in speed. The former will be designed to maintain for long periods of speed of 25 knots, endurance rather than excessive speed being the object sought.
