ALL FOR JIMMY.
Savages Celebrated Managers
Day in Great Style Tuesday.
Eleven Runs to Two Was the
Final Score.

About twelve hundred people hon.
ored Jimmy Jackson with their pres
ence at the ball park Tuesday after
noon aoI. Jackson's team treated them
to one II the most overwhelming vic
tories of the season by defeating the
Wichita Wolves IL to 2.
After the thirG inning it was only a
question of how big the score would
be, and the walloping Savages hit
Geisel and foot itchy Sullivan al
most at will.
Clunn began the game on the
mound for the SavageS, but his gov
ernors were not working and his con-
troll was bad. In the first inning a
walk, a stolen base and single gave
the Wolves their first score. In the
first of the third a hit batter and a
twin error by Cochran gave them an
other and the Clunn was relieved by
Bugs Grover who held Patterson's
pack scoreless for the remainder of
the game, allowing only five hits in
six innings.
Savages Score.
The Savages counted their first two
runs in the second inning when Latti-
more walked, Rapps and Cochran
singled and Monroe got a sacrifice fly
that would have been clean double
but for Tydeman's one-handed catch.
In the fifth. singles by Grover,
Mayer and baltimore, sacrifices by
Roche and Rapps and a hit batter
the last of the fifth Roche doubled,
Trainer singled, Roche scored on Crit
fiths error and Pitcher Geist was re-
lieved by Teddy" Sullivan. Sullivan
might have pitched a good game, but
he strutted himself almost to death
grandstanding from the pitchers box
to first base. and before the inning
was over he was touched for two
doubles. a single and four scores.
After that he didn't do any more
strutting. and the Savages didn't make
anv more scores sim ply because they
didn't try very hard, and took chances
unnecessarily.
BOStick on the Job.
Bostick played a star game for the
Savages, accepting ten chances with
out an error and making two Spectacu-
lar plays. Cochran batted .666 but
made the only two errors credited to
the Savages- Mayer butted an even
500, but was given only one chance in
centerfield. Rapps and baltimore also
helped their batting averages consid-
erably, the former getting two singles
and a sacrifice out of four times up
and the latter a walk, a single and q
double out of four times. The lineup,
score and summary were as follows:

AMERICAN STEAMER FORCIBLY SEARCHED
Party From British Cruiser Boards Zealandia in Mexican Port

Washington, Nov. 10.-The Ameri- can steamer Zealandia was forcibly searched by a party from a British cruiser last week while lying in the port of Progreso, Mex. The Ameri- can consul there reports the cruiser now is lying outside, presumably wait :. ing to seize the ship.
 On the face of such report as the consul sent, even though incomplete, the official conclusion here is that the British naval authorities not only vio- lated Mexican neutrality but far ex- ceeded their rights in forcibly search ing an American ship in a neutral port.
 Watched by British.
 The Zealandia figured much of late in reports of the investigations of British agents who were on the trail of ships supposed to be fitting out in the United States for attacking oil carrying ships from Mexican fields where the British navy draws a great proportion of it's supply of fuel oil.
 The Zealandia has no change Of registry involved as has been the case or many other American ships since the beginning of the war, but was originally a Hawaiian ship which came under the American flag at the time of the annexation.

 1 . Titta Ruffo Not Aboard. The Ancona has been a favorite steamer with opera singers and musicians coming to this country. Titta Rufio, the baritone. was reported aboard the steamer, but this was de- nied by his brother in Chicago. Ow- ing to the fact that the Metropolitan Opera season in New York will open Monday, and that a 1arge number of singers of other companies are all ready in this country, officials of the line here did not think there was any singers aboard the Ancona. The Italian consulate said they had no in- formation concerning, any of the An cona's passengers. < ~@& Fear For, Three Steamers. .<
 In view of the sinking of the An coma, and the reported activity of Ger man and Austrian submarines in the Mediterranean and adjacent waters, considerable interest was expressed in marine circles here today concerning three steamers that sailed from Amer ican ports and are now nearing Italy.
 The Europa, of La Veloce, sailed from New York on October 31 and is due at Naples today, but has not been reported as arriving. The Europa car ried 1,125 passengers, a large portion of them being reservists.
 The steamer Caserta, the Lloyd-Ital- ian, sailed from here November i for Genoa with 1900 passengers, nearly all of them Italian reservsts. The White Star steamer Cretic which sailed from Boston for Mediterranean ports on Oct. 30, is due at Gibraltar today with JOSS passengers.
 Fail to Fix Position.
 The message from Malta stating that four passengers and fortyone of the crew of the Ancona have been landed there fails to aid fixing the position of the steamer when she was sunk.
 Malta is about 200 miles southeast of Cape Bon, where two or the An cona's lifeboats landed. For this
