GARDNER MAKES HOMER
Brooklyn Made Two in First Inning Then Rested; Tomorrow
 at Boston.

EseETs FIELD, Oct. tt.-After Brooklyn had opened with two run lead in the first inning, Gard nsr's terrific home run drive over the center field fence sent. in two men ahead and put the Red soX In the lead. This blow really won the battle from the Robins and they were never able to score after.
 From the second inning on it was sosson's game. After the first Inning when he was tapped for a single and a sripple which yielded Brooklyn two runs, Leonard was never In trouble. His defense was 90 strong in what few pinehes there were but the famous Brook lyn attack did not materialize and the score shovs the great left hand CT Was nieked for only five hits.
 Manager Robinson used three pitchers In a vain effort to stem the tIdS. Mafquard started Ike whiri- wind. but eardner's home run fin lshed him. Cheney did better but was dented for a run in the fifth and one In tho seventh. The veter- ans southpaw Nap Fucker finished the game for the home club.

Raid on Shipping Was in Accordance with Laws but Other Questions
 Are Involved.
PROTESTS ARE RECEIVED
Wilson IntimateS that the Foreign Powers Will Be Brought up
 with a Jerk.

LONG BRANCH, N. J., Oct. H. Secretary of State Lansing left for Washington at o'clock this morn ing after a conference with Presi- dent Wilson which lasted until af- ter two o'clock. Secretary Lansing and the President thoroughly can vassed the new problems raised by the raid and activities of the Ger man submarine U-53. It was an- nounced by the President today that according to the reports laid before him by Secretary Lansing the im- pression prevails that Germany act ed entirely in accordance with her promises to this government in re- gard to her operations on British shipping off Nantucket
 But while the methods employed by the commander of the U-5S ap- pear to comply with this govern menfs stipulations the larger ques- ton concerning the administration nov is whethes the United States can tolerate submarine activities outside her ports, which menace commerce and will constantly ex- pose the lives of American women and children.
 There Is a strong undercurrent of feeling that a continuance of such practices, might be contemplated.
 Scores of telcgrams have been re- ceiyed by the President here and scores more have been sent to the State Department at Washington from business interests demanding that a sharp reminder must be given Germany that she cannot virtually "blockade the United States"
 Some of the adyices state that action of this government should not be limited to mere protest.
 President Wilson strongly inti- mated that Germany will not be al- lowed to blockade the coast of the United States and action would be taken of a strong nature if further raids occur
 The President gave his entire at tention to considering facts collect ed by the navy department regard ing the German submarine attack on merchant marine on the Ameri can coast. He had intended goinl to Brooklyn for the baseball gam of the world's series but change' his plans to devote himself to for } eign affairs of the nation. The President shut himself in hi study and went carefully over al , evidence collected so far. secretar . Lansing arrived late yesterday after . noon and the two went into con ference.
