Name of United States.

file original suit in the name of the
United States government to compel
the state of Florida to Drain certain

This Is Opinion of Rear Adj

Newport, Oct. 9.-The submarine
raid on shipping South Of Nantucket
Sunday was the work of one submar.

Gleaves, commanding the destroyer
flotilla, which did remarkable speedy
rescue work yesterday.
Admiral Gleaves said tonight thai
reports from all of his officers agreed
that only one raider was concerned

Lieutenant Comma der Miller, wht
commanded the destroyer Ericsson
which witnessed the sinking of tbs
of the Stephano, is sure there was
but one submarine.
1t is thought here that the sub
merging tactics of the submarine de
ceived the ship captains into belief
that there wore more than one.
The known list of victims tonight
remains at six, Notwithstanding the
reports at the Nantucket nghtsnll
that three other steamers, their iden
tity of which was not learned, hac
been sunk, also a persistent rumol
that a British cruiser had been de-
stroyed.
An investigation by officials here
showed that no supplies had beer
sent to the submarine.
Admiral Gleaves tonight denied
another report that American officer'
who boarded the U-53 Saturday hat
been warned to be ready for rescue
work.

ANOTHER WRIT.

Petition Is Denied.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Tallahassee, Fla, Oct. 9.-The So

nominated C. C. Allen for governor.
They certified his nomination to the

instructions to the counties to have
his name printed on the ballot as the

There will be two Aliens, Knott

F. w. Butler, prohibition candidate
against Judge R. F. Taylor, has
written to the secretary of state that
he is a democrat and can't accept the

Taylor with only the republican nom

Flournoy asked for another writ
today but it Vas practically the same

VISITOR ON ship
HAD RUN-In WITH
VESSEL s CAPTAIN

Captain Langfeldt, of the Norweg-
ian bark Oaklands, which vessel is
now loading at the G. f. & A. termi-
nails, was defendant in the city court
Monday morning on a charge of as
sault. He was fined So and costs.
Capt. Langfeldt discovered man
on deck whom he thought, accord
ing to his statement, was there for
no good purpose and proceeded not
only to put him off, but to emphasize
the fact that he wanted him and all
others of his supposed calling to keep
clear off the vessel. He struck the
stranger several times and the prose
cutting witness, sailor rom another
vessel, showed up with a bIackened
eye and cut lip, both or which he
showed as the concrete evidence that
he had been attacked.
Capt. Langfeldt did not mean to
assault the visitor, but because of a
mistaken identity, TIM rouble hap
penned. 1t seems that several parties
according to the captain, were known
to be trying to get away several
youthful sailors from the Oaklands.
and it was one of these parties which
the captain thought was the man
whom he struck on the face. The
skipper said he was trying to protect
his own men from men whom he knew
We're after them. He paid his fine,
however.

TWO SEASONS FINDS.
Walters and Hornsby Playing Great
Ball.

| The two baseball finds uncovered
| this season are Roger Hornsby, the
| Cardinal infielder, and "Al" Walters,
| the Yankee catcher. Oddly enough,
both are graduates from small Texas
town clubs, and, at the outset of the
| season, neither was given much con
| sideration.
Walters is the best all around catch
er that has come up to the majors since
Ray SchaIk'S time IS the consensus Of
opinion among baseball men who have
seen the Dcppery young Yankee in &C
ton.
And about the young Cardinal it is
said; HE is the most brilliant in
fielder, the best hitter and bratnest
youth that has flashed into view since
Eddie Collins cast anchor in the big
leagues" Walters came from Waco,
Texas, while Hornsby was secured
from Denison, Texas, a class D league.
Walters, first of all, is q wonderful
backstOp. He catches wild losses with
as much ease as he SnareS the straight
overs. Second ne has a whip equaled
by few men in the game He is d snap
. thrOWer and throws with a deadly
accuracy. He gets away with the bail
with almost the same motion that he
grabs 1.-THE trick that marks the diff
ference between ordinary catChers and
good catchers.
'FTy'' Cobb had heard much of
Walters throwing power. He decided
&c test out the wing during the re-
cent YanIzee-Tiger series. "Ty'' took
unto himself a twelve foot lead and
then shot for second with the swing
Of the pitchers arm. The whirlwind
Georgian was touched out standing up
tagged even before he had a chance
to slide.
What has happened to Cobb has be-
fallen the majority of other base run
ners who have tried to pilfer at Wal
ters' expense. Few Catchers in the
league are in Walters class as batters
During the first three months of the
campaign he batted for an average Of
more than 800. Since then he has
slurnped a bit, yet be ranks as one Of
the most timely hitters in the game
Walters, as a batter, is never SO good
as in q pinch.
But what has made Walters a reign
ing f2VOrite in New York is his spirit
his pep" and his enthusiasm. He is
chattering all the time, stea dies his
pitcher and puts new life into the
whole team. No game is lost, in
Walters, opinion, until the last man is
out. He's a cheerful, optimistic
ngster-the kind that never admits
defeat until the final count has been
made.
Hornsby has electrified the National
League spectators by his brilliant work

the former national champion, who
