TWO TORPEDOEs HIT MARK
Flotsam Smear Marks Grave of Gu.
 harder Lusitania.

Queenstown. = Twenty-three miles rom this port an irregular smear of hotsam on a calm sea marks the grave of the Cunarder Lusitania. first transatlantic liner sunk by d German submarine. One hundred and forty. nine of more than 1 200 souls who per 1shed with her lie in improvfsed morgues in old buildings bordering on Queenstown harbor. They were pick ed up dead or died after landing. The t4o survivors are quartered in hotels. residences and hospitals, some too badly hurt to be moved. Two groups left, clad in misfit clothing, bound for Dublin by rail and thence by boat to Holy Head. The injuries of some are so serious that additional deaths are expected. Nearly all are too dazed to understand fully what has happened.
 The survivors do not agree as to whether the submarine fired one or two torpedoes. A few say they saw the periscope. though many tell of seeing the wake of foam as a torpe- do came toward the vessel. The only points in which all concur is that the torpedo struck the vessel a vital blow amidships, causing her to list to the starboard In this careening fashion she plowed forward some distance. smashing the life boat davits as she did so, and making the launching of boats well nigh impossible until she stopped. Estimates of the time the Iusitania remained afioat range from eight to 20 minutes. The list to star board so elevated the lifeboats on the rert side as soon to render them use less, md only two on that side were launched

 Utter Confusion Prevails.
 AS an example of the confusion, which has swept not only the survi. vors. but also the officials off their feet, the body of Charles Frohman, the noted New York and London thea rical magnate, lay uncovered for hours among more than 100 others before Identification was made by an acquaintance Most of the others are still unidentified.
 The work of compiling list of sur VlYors necessarily is proceeding slow ly because of the confusion. Steam ship and government officials and the American consuls office are swamped Apparently, however, first cabin pas sengers are among those saved.
 The work of identification necessa- rily is slow because many of the vic tins appear to have no friends or rela tives among the rescued. Many of the bodies are those of babies. At the Cunard wharf lies the body of a moth CT clasping in one arm her five-month. old child.
 Many Entirely Destitute.
 The hotels are filled with half-cloth. ed, half-erazed men and womeE. Many have lost all their valuables and have no money. Their clothes went down with the ship and many half stripped themselves for their bat tie with the sea Relief is being or ganized as quickly as possible Son,e have cabled to their homes for money. Many of those in the steerage lost everything and have no prospect of getting funds.
 Women in mems great coats, men in uniforms loaned them by rescuers. some in blankets, are to be seen in the streets. The bodies of several handsome young American women are lying in the market hall unidentified.

BY JOHN Il. GRuBER.

The history of Harry Dolan is that
Of a player who lived his base ball life
in the twentieth century and died in
the livery of the major leagues. He had
a varied experience, being connected
with five major league teams during
the space of seven years. He began
and ended his career with the Boston
National League team, and between his
start and his finish saw service with
the Chicago, Brooklyn and Cincinnati
teams of the National League, and the
Chicago team of the American League.
Dolan was born in Wellesley. Mass, in
1871. In his youth he was given the
nickname of "Cozy," which stuck to
him all through life. He was the crigi-
nal "Cozy Dolan' in base ball. Since
his day every Dolan is now a "Cozy,
just as every Carey is Scoops" and
nearly every Miller Dusty" Dolan
began his professional life in 1894 as a
left-handed pitcher with the Portland.

under the management of Mike Car
rfty. His pitching was not bad, but
his heavy batting left no doubt as to
his value to team.
In 1895 he was obtained for the Ros-
ton team by Manager Frank Selee, and
then got his first taste of big league
ball. Among the pitchers of the Bos-
ton team, which that year finished in
fifth place. a tie with Brooklyn. we're

Jack Ryan and Jack Warner.

Warner. like Dolan, was just breaking
into the National League. coming from

League. With such finished catcl1ers as
