NEW MEN LOOK GOOD
AT AUBURN; ARE
NOT IN CONDITION
Coach DOnahue Is Working
Men Hard for Game With
Howard on Saturday.
Expects Hard Game

Auburn, October 4.-(Specia1.)
Coach Mike Donahue has a number of
new men who are showing up well I'M
der the strenuous training which the
Plainsman coach is forcing his men to
undergo in preparation for the How
ard game in Birmingham Saturday.
Remington is hitting the line hard, but
his chief fault is his inability to keep
on his feet Pat Jones and Bill DON
ahue appear well in the backfield, both
youngsters being good men on circling
the ends. Richenbacker is showing
much better form than last year but
has the fatal tendency of fumbling
the ball when nearing the goal line.
During the week Coach Donahue has
turned attention to old men on hand
and every night darkness finds the
varsity pounding the scrub line. A
number of the scrubs have been given
the chance to show wares in var
sity uniform. Stickney, Nall and Mat
Jones are making a hard fight in
backfield. In the line, Beard, Bonner
and while for the ends Williamson,
Storey and Gibson are fighting hard
for a permanent job.
Old men on hand are Captain Hair
ston, Prendergast, Rickenbacker,
Steed,s Red Jones. Bonner, Ducote, Rob-
inson, Sample, Wynne, Fricke and
Campbell. The entire squad is slow in
getting into condition. Wren was sent
home with malaria and Sample is I'M
able to take part in scrimmages. The
famous old time Auburn drive has not
shown itself yet but is expected soon
under the stiff driving of Coach DON
ahue, which has been in progress dur
ing the past week.
Auburn is not going to be caught
mapping because Howard has no big
reputation, but will be fully prepared
for anything the Baptists might
spring. The battle should be a good
game with the Howard eleven under
Coach Longwell and as the Auburn
squad as yet is not fully developed,
nothing would be surprising.

three cratic innings, and was relieved
by Galore, late of the International

pitched the nine innings for New York

those days and the contest ended in a
sevep-gdme tie; each club winning three
games with another tied when darkness
put an end to the play. In 1899 and 1900
Brooklyn was the National league cham
pion, but as the Temple cup series had
been abandoned and the present series
not yet established, the Superbas were
unable to find opponents for a titular
combat.
While Brooklyn was deprived of the
opportunity to compete for the champion
ship in past years. the present series
offers the club a chance to bring the Ma
tional league back on an equal footing
with the American league in the matter
of worlds series won. At the present
time the record shows that the junior
league clubs have won six out of the II
series paved since the national commits
sion assumed control of the baseball
classic. The score stands as follows:
American league: Philadelphia Athletics,
8; Boston Red Six, 2; Chicago White Sox,
1. National league: Chicago Cubs, 2;
New York Giants, Boston Braves and
I'ittsbarg, one each.

The Boston Americans since their entry
into the junior league in 1901 have won
the pennant four times, not including the
present season, and have competed for
the worlds title three times In 1903 the
team captured it's first pennant and then
defeated the Pittsburg Nationals in an
eight-game series by five games to three,
The following year the team repeated
its league victory but the New York club,
winner of the National league penant,
would not permit it's players to contend
for the worlds championship, which ac-
ton eventually led to the national com
mission taking charge of the world s se-
ries. In 1912 and 1915 the Boston Ameri
cans again won the right to play in the
series and defeated the New York Ma
tons and the Philadelphia Nationals, re-
spectively, by scores of four to three,
with one tie contest, and four game to
one.
Although Brooklyn has figured in ma
jor baseball for rs years as against Bos-
tons 10, the Superbas have won three

The American Rose Annual is a.
recognized authority for rose infor-

OF this publication was organized In
1899. The object is to increase the
general interest in the cultivation and
improve the standard and excellence
of the rose for all people.
Mr.. Mcfarland is in contact with
those who grow roses throughout the
United States. He has started q cam
paign to promote the growing of
American roses for America. This is
In view of the fact that there are i'm
ported into the United States annually
more than nine million roses and rose
stalks, most of which, Mr.. Mcfarland
insists, ought to be grown in our own
country. The foreign varieties OF
roses, Mr.. Mcfarland asserts, are not
always desirable for our climate, and
he has pointed out that of the 5S8
standard roses listed by the National
Rose Society of England, but twenty
six are of American origin.
AS an evidence of this propaganda.
! it is noted that some fine new roses
are being hybridized IN the United
States.
The American Rose Society, organ
lied in 1899, ito increase the general
interest in the cultivation and improve
the standard of excellence of the rose

TO SINK ALL SHIPS WITH
STORES FOR ALLIES
[Continued From First Pagel

A dispatch from Athens last night,
saying the Greek government had
been notified Germany intended to
sink without warning all ships car
rying supplies to the allies, was re-
garded here as of great importance.
So far as is known the United States
has received no such notification and
1t is not known whether one has been
sent to other neutrals.
Such a procedure would be regarded
by the United States as directly con-
trary to Germany's pledges.
Secretary Lansing said to-day that
the United States understands Ger
many's pledges not to sink merchant
men without warning and without pro-
viding for the safety of passengers and
crew, applies to ships with defensive
armament. No distinction was drawn
In the correspondence between armed
and unarmed ships and the State De-
partment does not accept any conten-
tion that Germanys responsibility. is
limited to those without armament.
Vital Question to Germany
Nevertheless, 1t is admitted that
Germany has always taken q distinct
view of the status of armed ships and
1t is thought probable that she will at
tempt to inject the point into the pres
ent situation. So long as the policies
OF the two governments are so utterly
divergent 1t is thought possible that
Germany might use the Marina case
to settle the issue. Her increased
submarine warfare. combined with
the increasing number of armed al
lied ships and their increasing etfi-
cheney In defense, makes 1t q vital
question to her.
Secretary Lansing while refusing to
give out any further details of the Off
eial report of the sinkings from the
american embassy In London. said his

information was substantially the
same as that of the newspapers.
Germany and Austria on February
10 in substantially the same terms,
notified the United States to the fol-
lowing effect: ~
Enemy merchantmen armed with
guns no longer have the right to be
considered as peaceable merchant
vessels of commerce. Therefore the
German naval forces will receive or
ders to treat such vessels as belliger-
ents."
However, in accepting the American
note on the Sussex demanding the
abandonment of it's submarine war;
fare against passenger and freight
carrying vessels" Germany said such
vessels should not be sunk without
warning and without providing for
the safety of passenger and crew ''un-
less the ships attempt to escape or Of
fer resistance"
No condition was made as to armed
ships.

rose to-day said:

will not name it for some time. When
saw it. l said to Mr.. Cook that it
must be a sort of glorifed La France.
To this he replied that he called it

This new rose. which is a lovely
pink in color with the shade of the
well known La France rose, is gigan-
tic in size. Specimens measured five
and one-half inches across.
Naturally Mr.. Cook values this
rose highly.
"One of the great rose growers of
the country is Fred III. Howard of
Los Angeles, who visited me this week.
He has just been to see Mr.. Cook, and
found that the latter had put a price
of $4,000 on the new rose.

gan repairs. He said that he was de-
lighted with the fight as far as he had
gone and although disappointed be-
cause of the slight engine trouble, he
deemed 1t advisable to take no I'M
necessary chances as he was very anx-
ious to get to New York by o'clock
this evening.
The engine was doing all he had ex-
pected OF it in the way of speed, the
distance between Cleveland and Erie
having been covered in thirty min

Having completed repairs to the en-
gine Carlstrom decided to replenish
his gasoline and came down into the
city for that purpose. He said that he
expected to leave Erie before 130 p.

probably would follow the tracks of
the New York Central railroad into
New York.
