Baseball Briefs
For Busy Bugs

The attendance at yesterdays game
was about $500. The paid attend
ance was 1850. Members Of Com
pany l., members of the band, and a
number of others were admitted to
the park without charge.
The Indians are home for seven
more games after today's. Cedar
Rapids again tomorrow, then Waterloo
for three games, and then the Bur
lington Red Sox.
It was the general opinion Of the
fans that yesterdays game was as
good as any that has been played at
Hubinger park. Boyle's team showed
all the earmarks of champions.
Tommy Gifffn performed like colt
on first yesterday. The old boy grab
bed all kinds of throws and it was his
hit in the first inning that started the
tribe toward victory.
Collins, Cedar Rapids center field
er, looked strong to local bugs yester-
day. He played on Glass A club IN
the east last year but on account OF
his business being located In Cedar
Rapids, he is playing with the Bunntcs
this season at much lower salary.
i The attendance figures for this year
compare favorably with those Of last
year, despite the war.
Here are the totals for both first
and secondary openings last year and
this year:

for the tribes victory.
There was little to choose between
the work of the two pitchers. Watkins

Watkins, the score would have been
much closer even If the game had not

TELLS TALE OF SEA
Old Skipper Claims Islands in the
Pacific.
Suit piscIoses Thrilling Romance Of
Sorensen's Adventures at Sea and
Fight for Ownership Of Dis
covered Land.

Washington.-A narrative Of adven-
ture that would have set Robert Louis
Stevenson's fingers tingling is dis
closed by the filing in the Supreme
court of suit involving title to GER
tain South Sea islands alleged to have
been discovered by the defendant,
Niels Peter Sorensen, while he was
master of sailing ship in the Pacific.
The suit was filed by Frederick GUS
tav Shritzel and John Gross. through
Attorneys F. d. Dawson and ]. w.
Marshall, Jr.
Evidence is offered to show that the
plaintiffs acquired an interest in So
rensen's claims to the islands and the
court is asked to enjoin the latter
from carrying out later contracts wish
other unknown parties. to compel tile
disclosure of the terms of these later
contracts, and to see that any ct-n-
tracts already completed are made
to operate for the benefit Of the plain
tiffs as we'll as for the defendant.
1t is stated that Sorensen, who has
been a, citizen of the United States
since 1870, and who served from 1867
to- 1870 in the United States navy, dis
covered the islands, which are de-
scribed as the Treasury group, Zaca-
ma or North island Of the Solomon
group, and Green island Of the Cha
ract group.
The evidence of his title, it is stated,
is in the logbook of the ship he cora-
manded, documents of British officials,
certified copies of registration by Aus
tralian officials. other written evil
dence and agreements with native
chiefs, the latter lost by British off,
cials when they were held for regis
tration.
It is alleged that Sorensen became
involved in disputes in regard to trad
ing, mining and other rights of the
islands and that British officials Of
Australia attempted to deprive him
of his rights by persecution and other
wise.
The plaintiffs aver that SorenseD
came to Washington late in 1914 or
early in 1915 to seek the good Offices
of the United States government in
establishing his rights to the islands
and in protecting his interests. and
that he secured the services of the
plaintiffs to assist him, agreeing to
give each a one-fourth interest In his
claims.
It is further alleged that the defend
ant has recently repudiated his con-
tracts with the plaintiffs and has en-
tered into other contracts with I'm.
known parties.
With the bill of complaint the PLAZA
tiffs filed copy Of the plea in behalf
of Sorensen, and themselves filed with
the state department on June 2 last,
asking that this government intercede
with Great Britain for the clearing Of
title to the islands.
