the cruiser Emden was sunk by an
Australian warship in the Indian ocean
Nov. 10. have escaped again from al

Arabian harbor Of Lidd. on March ~.
They covered by sea the 800 miles from
Hodeida to Lipp.
After reaching the coast the sailors
attempted to continue their journey
overland. but were attacked by Arabs,
supposedly at the instigation Of the
English. After three days of fghting
the attacks were repulsed and they
reached tho road to Hodeida. The ad-
venturous Germans suffered heavy
losses.
The bold exploits Of this remnant OF
the Emden's crew have constituted one
OF the most dramatic episodes Of the
war. The men were members OF
landing party which was on Cocos Is
land when the battle occurred between
the Australian cruiser Sydney and the
Emden.
Headed For Turkey.
Under leadership Of Lieutenant Won
Muecke, the landing party comman-
deered the schooner Aysha and sailed
away. Since that time there have been
many conflicting reports REGARDING their
activity. Manila heard that they had
captured q collier: on which they had
mounted two Maxim guns and had
been making raids on French com-
merce. Tho French admiralty an-
nounced on Dec. 1s that the auxiliary

DE ORD CAPTURES
 BILLIARD MATCH FROM GEN. SLOSSON

New York. Oct. 23-Alfredo De Orc ran away from George Slosson in the final game of their five-game three cushion match at Doy1e's Academy last night. The Cuban gathered 50 points while Slosson was counting 24. This made De Orc the victor in the match by a. total of 25o to 2O6.
 In the early games of the match Slosson made am excellent showing, winning one of them and staying with in striking distance of his opponent, although the Cuban held the lead from the first game. But the play ing of the veteran Thursday night was big disappointment to his friends, and the way in which he fell behind in that game put hi hope lessly out of it.
 De Orc showed improved form as the match progressed. Thursday night he played brilliantly and last night he showed to even better ad- vantage. Slosson had no chance to catch him last night. The veteran balk-line player was not inclined to take many chances. He played too cautiously.
 The Cuban, on the other hand, played a daring game. file had such big lead that he could afford to take chances which he otherwise would have passed up.

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1909-Henrie Piet fought Ground draw with Maurice Savers at Phila- ,delphia. This was the first bout in the American tour of Piet, the French lightweight, who was killed in the war a few months ago. From Philadelphia Piet went to New Orleans, where he was knocked out in the End round by Ad Wolgast, and was afterward de- feated by Leonard Lauder. Piet re- mained on this side several months and fought no-decision contests with several boxers in New York, PhiladeI- phia and Easton, Pa, before returning to his native Paris. In 1911 he de- feated Georges Carpenter and Young Joseph. His last important ring bat tie was in 1913, when he was knocked
 out by Young Ahearn. Piet was fight ing as a we1terweight when the war broke out, but he immediately should cred his gun and marched to the front, where he was slain in a battle near Epsarges early this year. Piet is but one of many French profes- siona1 boxers who have given their

THE STOCK MARKET
tHenry Clews.)

Thus far, the rise in stocks, other than the war group, has been fully warranted bv general conditions, and particularly by the great abundance of loanable funds. Inhationary inf1u- ences have been quietly at work and have not yet apparently exhausted themselves : At times Areactionary ten Aencies appeared and the market is showing wider and more frequent fuc- tuations. It is not likely that the ad- vance movement as whole has reached it's end, but profit taking and the liberal discounting of many con ditions tended to temporarily unsett1e the market. In the absence, however. of any important unfavorabIe develop ments good stocks are likely to prove a purchase on all pronounced reac- tions.

FIND MINNESOTA FOOTBALL LEADER
 IS PROFESSIONAL

Minneapolis, 4Minn.. Oct. 23.-Lorin Solon, captain of the University of Minnesota football eIeven, yesterday was held guilty of professionalism and declared ineligible to take part in fu- ture intercollegiate competition. The charge against him was that he had played summer baseball for money on the Havre, Mont, team.
 The eligibility committee includes two football p1ayersZBaston and Herman. The vote against him was unanimous. As SoIon signed an affi- davit that he was an amateur tr was said that expulsion from the univer- sity might be asked. So1on was the teams surest ground gainer, it's best goal kicker, a. great defense and the best man on the squad in receiving forward passes, according to his ad- mirers.
 He was the second Gopar captain in recent history to be barred from play on the eve of an important con- test because of sustained charges of professionalism. Tn 1911 Capt. Earl Pickering, at Madison, Wis. was de- clared ineligible to play and he was withdrawn from the line up on com pIafnt of the University of. Wisconsin.

It was plan ned to have a big delegation of stu dents accompany the team, and they were to. have a silver cornet band with them.
 The students of Pennsylvania. State college planned to travel in the same way and accompany the Blue and White team on all trips away from State college. The students of Wash ington and Jefferson and State college were to ride fh special cars bedded down with ssraw.
 The ruling made by the Interstate Commerce commission says that it is illegal to transport human beings un- der the special classification of Hive stock.

GILMORE ROASTS
 BAN JOHNSON FOR
 DISCUSSING WARD

New York. Oct. 23.=Publication of an interview with Ban Johnson in 9 Chicago paper in which the Ameri- can League president was quoted as having said that the worries brought on by the Federal League caused the death of Robert B. Ward yesterday reused the ire of James A. Gilmore, the Federal chief. Gilmore teIephon- ed to Chicago and found that Johnson had been correctly quoted.
 ''We have stood for lot from Johnson" said Gilmore, "but this is the last straw. Publicly fouting the Federal League and its leaders, John son has privately attempted in his seIf-assumed role of dictator. to bring the support of Federal packers to Or l(ganized Baseball Failing to enlist them in his cause or in any way to discourage them from pursuing their original policies, Johnson has 4utrud- ed his personality into every true sportsman's hour of sorrow and com menteds on the passing Of Robert B. Ward as follows:

I had a talk with him last ebfiuss at which time [ was given to under stand that he would be glad to get out of the league. I think it was the Fed era1 League that put hlna under the sod. as he could not stand the strain of worries and losses
 My personal differences with Johnson and the Federal Leagues part in this are as nothing compared to the presence of Johnson in a DO sitfon of dictator. Frequentl8 ,Bdr. Ward commented on the unfortunstte condition that permitted 4Iohnsoh to, dominate Organized Baseball

He has received the signed contracts of Roxey Roach, Chris Leonard and Wal ter gSwenson. Leonard didn't look very good when the past season started but he steadily improved and in the big series it was noticed that he always outplayed his man. He was pitted against some of the best players in the country, including Muller and McN4tl- Ian. Swenson and Roach are without doubt the fastest guards now in the game. Swenson is particularly popu- lar and the fans will be glad to learn he has been signed.
