fore he had run a gantlet of newspa-

the entrance Of his hotel, and who pur-

and into his car in their determination
to obtain an interview.
Let them think he was quoted as
saying when asked what he thought
the American people would think Of
the torpedoing of the Lusitania. His
final statement, after refusing to an
swer rapid fire of questions, was that
he would say nothing until proof was
furnished that the Lusitania had. in
fact. been torpedoed by a German sub

line said today that the Lusitania sank
in sixty fathoms of water and would

those reported alive were saved have
been abandoned.
Even the injured survivors who are

streets, some of them in bandages. Few
were able to tell coherent stot1es Of their

Pres't Ban b. Johnson of the Ameri-
can league is about TO commit a
breach of neutrality He will send
five gross of baseballs. 100 bats. six
full sets of uniforms. with gloves,
masks. chest protectors and bases to
Canada for shipment To the dominion
soldiers lighting the trenches in Elan
ders.
His decision to send the outfits fol-
lowed the receipt of a letter from Sir
Allen Ainsworth Of Toronto, who has
undertaken TO see that the Canadian
regiments at the front are supplied
with the necessary tools for playing
the national pastime of the United
States
The movement was started after the
receipt of letters from officers at the
front stating that baseball seemed to
give the hard working soldiers great
er recreation than any other pastime.
What evidently made an impression
upon the American league head was
the statement that soccer football and
cricket, two essentially British sports.
had been almost entirely superseded
by baseball in those Canadian regi-
ments where the troops had been able
10 secure the baseball equipment.
Therefore Pres't Johnson busted him
self at once and announced his ap-
prevail OF the plan in behalf Of the
American league and its club owners.
He also announced that any OF his
friends or the public who cared 10 DO
so could make cash contributions to
the fund. which is expected to reach
a total of $4,000.

Factory League To Stage Auspous Opening
"Knockouts''
BY I'd. W. smith.

Did YOU ever hear of man just
knocked down delivering a knockout
punch on his opponent?
such thing probably never hap
pened but on this one occasion 1 have
in mind. At least / never heard Of
such a thing anywhere else.
In the old days we had a pretty
fair lightweight around here named
otto Sielom. He was German lad
of good sound qualities and had one
of the heaviest kicks 1 ever saw
flashed by man who could MAKE is
pounds
Here's an instance Of how rapidly
OttO's brain worked AT times:
He was boxing Henry Fagin. a
Chicago product, one night at old APP
rOra hall out Milwaukee az. way, and
as Fagin could wallop even stronger
than Sielof and was in addition much
faster. the fans expected a royal
battle. And they were not disap-
pointed, although the suddenness of
the ending paralyzed a lot of the spec
tatOrs.
The first round was one of those
humdingers that gets a crowd on its
feet at once for the milling was so
earnest and even that the excitement
" as intense.
Early in the second round the
speedy Fagin, laying for the chance.
sneaked his right over to the jaw and
down went Sieloff as fiat as could be.
Fagin seemed TO take il that it was all
over as he posed Electrically in front
of his fallen foe while the referee
was tOlling off the count
At the count OF six Sielof had got
10 one knee and was preparing TO
arise. He watched his opponents
feet and as he got ready to get up. he
edged over closer TO where tagln
stood, still posing.
AS the deferee said nine" Sieloff
dropped his right fist behind his back
and summOning every ounce of strength
in his frame, sprang up right on top
OF the unsuspecting Fagin. At the
same instant SielOff swung powerful
right, sAmed perfectly. 1t landed full
on the side of Fagin's jaw. and sent
the young Irishman down in heap,
where he was counted out.
Many claimed afterwards it was the
biggest kind OF n fluke or scratch
punch, but / happened 10 be watch
ing Otto carefully while he was on the
floor and always will maintain that he
had the whole thing figured out 10
a nicely.
IT was an incident that showed that
a man never should loaf on the job
and go to posing as Fagin dtd-not at
least until the refree has made his
final decision.

CHANGE MONOGRAMS FOR
HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES
Each Sport VIII Have Distintive
Symbol Emblematic of Its
individuality.

A new style of high school athletic
monogram is being urged by Coach
Metzler before the board Of control of
the school. Under the present system
the football men received fairly
large size felt letter or combination
OF letters, while the basket ball, track
and baseball men received a much
smaller emblem.
This new plan OF Metzler's will be
that every branch of athletics will
have its own particular emblem. The
football men will receive a large tan
felt letter, which will be piped with
blue For baseball a somewhat
smaller design. in a diamond will be
awarded. while the basket ball en-
blem winners will receive a letter in
scribed in circle. The track men
Will be awarded an oval shaped mon
Ogram.
1t is understood that "A majority of
the members OF the board of control
favor the proposed change which is
