NEW PLAYER RULE
CAUSES A FURORE
MANAGERS OF CLUBS HAVE
CAUSE OF CHANGE.
They Do Not Look With Favor H.
on the New Rule Limiting the
Number of Players to the
Club.
BY HAL SHERIDAN.
{ Written for the United Press.

NEW YORK. May 5.-There is
fire In the eyes OF John McGraw
and anger in the heart of Harry
Hampstead and John Foster over
the tWenty-one player rule that was
forced upon the National league this
season with malice aforethought, OF
otherwise, but mainly through the
instigation of Barney Dreyfuss.
None OF the above mentioned trio
ever thought enough of the player
limit to make It the cause of a gen
eral celebration, and they like it
still less since the recent perform
anee of Pitcher Chalmers of Phila-
dclphia
For two years this same Chal-
mers vainly attempted to break in
to the game as a regular Giant. Last
fall he went out during practice
sessions and showed Scout KiuSella
a lot of things that made the ivory
eomber real Joyous, but when Kin
seIla would have impressed his own
valuation of Chalmers ON his boss.
he succeeded as rapidly as Ger
man getting the English viewpoint
on the cause of the biggest thing in
all the world.
Hence, when the tWenty-one plav-
er rule forced McGraw to look
around for someone to let go, the
Little Napoleon fixed his orb on
Chalmers, whom he had taken
south this spring after every one
else refused to give the youngster a
chance. The New York b. b. club.
Inc, paid all the training expenses
and, to show his appreciation, Chal-
mers worked hard and got in excel
lent shape, Chalmers regretted
leaving the United States for Phil
adelphia but he went with gratitude
over the fact that he stil remained
a big Lacquer
His next appearance was in New
York in a Philly uniform. The re
suit of his spring training show ed
IN the box score which recorded that
the Giants made two hits and that
seven OF them famed And New
York is sadly in want of pitchers.
We venture To predict that there will
be no twenty-one player rule next
year,
A number of other National lea
que teams have felt the pinch OF the
same regulation and those who liz
ured that il might cause the quail.
y OF the baseball played by Tener
arganlzation 20 deteriorate were NOT
much more wrong than those who
thought Germany had a great army.

ELEVEN TRAVELLERS ARE
sunk BY GERMANS
VESSELS sunk MONDAY WHILE
FISHING IN THE NORTH
SEA.
The German Submarine suddenly
Appeared in Their Midst and
Gave Crews Few Minutes
to Take to Boats.

LONDON, May 5.-A big sea going
German submarine, with fac-simile
of the iron cross painted across her
coming tower, is making a raid on
British trawlers Eleven vessels
have already been sunk. Seven OF
these were from Hull and four 9th
ers from Grimsby. All their crews
were saved after exciting expert
ences in the open sea in small boats.
The fleet was fishing Monday when
the submarine appeared in their
midst. Some Of the trawlers man
aged to escape-among them the
Collingwood. The victims, however,
were too slow to seek safety in
flight and lay to under orders from
the commandant of the submarine.
They We're given short time in
which to gather up their belongings
and take to the boats. Then the
traWlers were sunk. The crews OF
three unnamed Grimsby trawlers
were permitted to come along side
of the submarine and were given a
quantity of black bread. They were
picked up later by the trawler
Leonard, according to the crew OF
the Rugby. and landed at Hartle-
pool today.
1t is feared that others have been
sunk as the last seen of the hostile
submarine it was headed in the di
rection of the Aberdeen fleet.
Captain Foote of the Bob White,
one of the vessels sunk, said that
when overhauled he was in the act
of picking up the crew of another
trawler. He was given five minutes
to abandon his ship and the subma-
rine took eighteen shots at the YES
sci with small guns to sink her.
The captain and his men floated
thirteen hours in small boats before
being finally picked up by the trawl-
er Ely.

Maine Ferris of Saginaw, was fined
$25 for assaulting Eugene May on the
streets in this city, Monday, and an
nounced to Justice Friegel that if he
had known the fine would be 80 heavy
he could have doubled his dose to May.
May secured judgment some time ago

money to use at a wrestling match be.
tween Joe Nasser and another supposed
wrestler. Nssser lost and Ferris lost
and May lost, and when May found the
Ferris boys here Saturday he put an
attachment on an automobile they
came to town in. 1t developed later
that the auto belonged to Gabriel Fer
ris and could not be held on a Judgment
against Maine. The young men met
May on the street Monday, and after a
few words May found himself on the
sidewalk. he made complaint and Fer
ris plead guilty to assault, and was fined
$25. Ferris claimed that May called
him bad names.
