hot and sticky.
The crowds came late and there was
early estimates that more than 10000
persons would witness the game. As
It grew darker with the gathering
clouds the managers Of the two clubs
began to look over their speed ball
pitchers.
Both teams showed speed and bril-
liancy in their field practice.
There was no sun to bother the field

high fies.
The umpires announced Ruth and
Thomas as the battery for Boston and
Smith and Miller as the battery for
Brooklyn. The game then started.

One OF the submarines is supposed
to have been the U-53, which visited
this harbor Saturday, and another was

Six vessels are known to have been

The captain said that three subma.

No Lives Lost
The crews OF all these vessels. with

officers OF the Narragansett bay naval

WHEAT CROP SMALL
Government Report Shows That
Years Yield 10 Much Below the
Average Production.

Washington. D. c., Oct with the
price Of -four higher than 1t has been
In many years, interest in the govern
ment's October crop report, issued TO-
day, centered in the forecast Of this
years wheat production which Is the
smallest since 1904. The crop OF win.
ter wheat is 100000 bushels small.
er than last year and the production
of spring wheat probably will be low.
er by more than that quantity and the
smallest crop in the last twenty-one
years. With carry-over Of approxi-
mately 160,000,000 bushels from last
years record breaking crop Of 1,011,-
sos, 900 bushels, agricultural depart
ment officials believed this years
short crop would be sufficient to meet
domestic requirements and leave
about 100,00O,000 bushels available for
export to help supply the heavy de-
mands OF the warning European ma
tions. A significant feature of the
grain trade this year is the importa-
ton of wheat from Argentina, a cargo
of which is now on its way to this
country.
Other cereal crops also suffered
from the adverse conditions of the
past summer and smaller productions
have resulted in most crops. White pO-
tatoes particularly will be short, the
crop this year being the smallest in
the last fve years. Tobacco, hay and
rice. however, promise record crops
this year.
The condition Of corn throughout
the nation was given as lis per cent.
The yield OF spring wheat was estimat.
ed at 152. 1851 900 bushels and the yield
of all wheat at 607,557 900. The corn
yield is estimated at 2,717,932, 900 bush.

SUBMARINES CAUSE
NEW COMPLY CATION
UNITED STATES AUTHORITIES
FEAR THERE WILL De eREEcH
OF NEUTRALITY.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 9.- Posi-
bilities Of diplomatic complications
over the German submarine raid along
the New England coast seemed today
to point toward the allies as we'll as
Germany.
State and navy officials, scanning
unofficial reports Of the destruction OF
ships within sight of American shores.
found no reason today to change their
first impression that the submarine
operations had been conducted, so far,
within the limitations Of international
law, but they we're fully alive to the
dangerous possibilities. Destruction
Of an American ship carrying contra
band might easily cause another Frye
case and any loss of life at all In any
case might easily reopen the whole
submarine question.
The threatened complication with
the allies lies in their contention that
submarines. because of their nature.
should be excluded from all neutral
ports. Today's London dispatches
quoting from the Manchester Guardian
to the effect that such view has been
"set out In the recent memorandum
sent by the allies to neutral govern
ments," contained the first intimation
received here that anything In the
nature Of formal representation had
been made.
No Issue Raised Yet
The position of the United States,
q far as It has been announced, has
been to decide on its merits the case
Of each submarine entering an Amer
lean port. Inasmuch as the German
submersible which entered Newport
Saturday took no supplies, asked for
no privileges and departed almost Inn
mediately, 1t IL not thought that she
raised any issue.
The general opinion prevailed today
was that with the gathering Of allied
cruisers OF the New England coast the
submarines would desert that field
and strike their next blows farther
south. Some officials expected to hear
of operations in the Gulf Of Mexico,
where q persistent story says Ger
man base has been established and
where the submarines could strike at
the fleets Of tank ships carrying fuel
oil to the British navy from the Mex
ican fields, upon which they depend
almost entirely. The opinion that
there are several submarines accom-
panied BY supply ship. probably also
Z submersible, has been strengthened
BY the developments.
Wilson Being Informed.
The American government's attitude
toward the German eide Of the new
situation will Of course be decided by
President Wilson himself. Full infor-
nation IL being gathered through
Official channels and forwarded to the
summer white house.
Secretary Lansing. who returned to
his desk today after an absence be-
cause Of illness, refused to discuss the
situation at all, saying his reports were
not sufficient to warrant decision on
any Of Its phases.
