Herbert PennOck Is
Let Out by Red Sox

The Boston Americans have released
Pitcher Herbert Pennock, formerly Of
the Athletics, to the Province team. Of
the International League.
Connie Mack sold Pennock to the Red
Sox for the waiver price Of $500. but
in his career in Boston the Kennett
square boy didn't last one full game.
Pennock started the present season
like a wonder. He shut out the Red Sox
without a hit until two men were out
in the ninth, Then Hooper scratched a
single to second, the only safety made
off him.
1t was this feat that caused the Red
Sox to refuse to waive on Pennock.

But here there Il a radical depar-
turc from the ordinary commission

Thus the Mayor while lacking abso-

the other commissioners which makes
him at least the ranking member Of
the board.
Added to this Is the fact that the

state--and his ascendency in the lo-
cal government appears to be such
that he il to all intents and purposes

This admirable teamwork is get

appearance of bright, prosperous

Commission government of the ordi-
nary type such as that provided by
our optional charter act. For, as
above shown, the Mayor Is by the
charter invested with general super

which differentiates the Memphis

Referring to Germany's reply note
permit me respectfully and earnestly to
renew my previous recommendation that
you determine the question Of fact by
calling a regular court of inquiry as did

The German note raised distinct oues
tions of fact maintaining that the I,usi
tania was under British admiralty orders
to ram submarines, was in effect a SUBJ
marine destroyer. and otherwise engaged
in war operations, transporting men and
materials.
IF this contention is correct our gov
eminent has no standing in international
law for demanding a disavowal. Further
more, Germany expresses regret for the
loss of innocent life, and contends that
internal explosion and other contributing
causes OF English. and even criminal
origin are chiefly responsible II this CON-
tention Is correct our government has not
even the general ground of humanity tn
stand on.
Until these questions Of fact are de-
termined through judicial investiga ton
history and sobered humanity would
condemn us. our government and our
people for persisting in our demands for
disavowal. Obviously We cannot insist
on cur other demands for the abandon
ment of submarine warfare any more
