Cedar Rapids. Aug. 31.-Cedar Rap

cedents Wednesday in the matter OF
their double header In all we'll
organized two-game bills, the attrac-
ton is equally divided. But in this
case Marshalltown played the whole
hog" and ran off with both ends OF
the doings, the second section of which
went only seven innings. And wen
enough that it did. The close OF the
Central association season here leit
bad taste in the mouth, for the locals
played Indifferent ball.
The Dummies played punk ball in the
two games. the first one going to the
Ansons by a 6-to-2 count, and the last
going the same direction. to o.. But
the Ansons fairly earned their victor
les. There was not much of the fiuke
about either acquisition to the won
column shown by Frank Boyles men.
Lees Homer Settles Game.
In the first game the Marshalltown
artillery put the skids under Bunny
chance for victory. In the fourth, after
.Prough had tripled, Lee drove the pan
over the center field fence, which Is
considered quite feat in these parts.
That practically sewed up the game
for the Ansons, because the Bunnies
did not show any ability to touch up
Penner until the ninth inning, and oy
that time the visitors had the game
we'll in hand. ,2sSsr'-
The Marshalltown club added 10
their total in the seventh when one run
was pushed over Warmer singled to
open the frame. He was sacrificed
down by Penner, and went to third on
one of Berger's wild pitches. Murphys
double to center scored Wanner.
Dummies Boots Costly.
But in the ninth Bunny miscues
kicked the game clear away. Lee was
safe on French's error, and went to
second when Wanner singled to right.
Penner hit to Berger, and Lee was re-
tired at third. but Murphy got a life
when ODay kicked his roller. Ryan
was out, Reed to Stanley. but Wanner
counted on the out. Eunick was also
given a life when Reed bobbled his
bounder, Penner scoring. But the side
was out when Lunte's short bunt was
tieded by Nee. Twas enough.
In tn cir half of the ninth the desper-
ate Bunnies made a bid for the game,
but the handicap was too much. After
Collins had been retired, Stanley
singled 10 left and Harmon drove
triple past Wanner. scoring STANLEY.

ATTACK ON STARBOARD
Ships Officer Declares He Saw
Wake of the Deadly
Torpedo
NEW YORK. April IA.

NEW YORK, April IL.
The first survivor Of the Sussex dis
nster to reach the United states arrived
here today on the American liner st.
Paul He is Edward H. Huxley, presi-
dent of the United states Rubber Export
Company.
II could not say positively whether the
ship was blown UP by n mine or tor
pedoed from a submarine" said Mr.. Hux-
ley, "The general opinion on board,
though. was that the ship had been at
tackled without warning by German sub
marine.
"The disaster happened about 1880
O'Clock in the afternoon when the Sus-
sex was half way between Folkstone and
Dieppe
(Previous reports both official and un-
official, said that the explosion occurred
about 2:30.)
II was standing on the port side Of
the ship at the time. Suddenly there was
n terrific blast, which tore away the
whole bow of the ship and hurled debris
and water high I'm the air, Much of this
wreckage fell back upon the decks, in
juring many persons | saw the severed
bow of the ship float away like cork
and then sink
"The explosion was on the starboard
side of the ship forward and many per-
sons that were in that part of the ship
were killed outright or thrown into the
soa.
The wireless outfit on the vessel re-
maine1 in working order and the operator
continued to send out calls for help after
the eNlNoson but 1t was nine hours before
a BRITISH torpedoboat destroyer appeared
on the stcne. In the meantime we had
lowered some boats and many of those
who had been thrown or jumped into the
water We're taken on board the boats
"On b5ard the destroyer was the war
rant otfcer of the Sussex. He declared
that lumber of the passengers on the
channel liner had told him they saw the
wake of n torpedo.
II have letter from Captain Thomas
Carroll, embarkation officer ut Boulogne,
France. which says, in part: The poor Sus-
sex lies beached. l saw the body of
poor woman on board with a piece of n
German torpedo imhedded in her stomach.
"Of Course, | cannot say how the ship
was blown up, not having seen any mine
or TORPEDO, but whatever it was it had
tremendous power behind it,"
