Boston. Oct. 8.-Perhaps it will be
true that Boston has been worlds
serted TO death, as some of the wise
ones minated whc.. Saturdays open
ING game between the Red Sox and
Dodgers failed to fill the park, but un-
less all signs fail there will be little
emptv space tomorrow afternoon when
the second contest is called.
Boston made little fuss over that
first game. The big crowd failed to
enthuse even at the close and exciting
finish, and it was one of the greatest
thrillers ever seen in the autumnal
classic. But the way this town has
been talking baseball to-day it looks
az If the folks of the Back Bay and ad-
iacent territory have at last awakened.
There are a good many reasons why
the city OF culture did not 90 crazy
with enthusiasm. BY some secret, I'M
derground channel a great many tickets
found their way into the bands OF
scalpers. This i. nothing new IN
world series. It always happens. But
the Boston scalpers were unusually
avaricious. They tripled and quad
rupled the face value. Then when the
general and long suffering public re-
fused to buy the spectators tried too
late TO unload.
Some of the edge has been ground
Oft Boston's enthusiasm for the blue
ribbon event of the game. Within the
last five years no less than FOUR world
series have come to this city. Nat
urally public sooner or later will tire
of surfeit Of anything. Furthermore,
Boston has come TO regard the Red SoX
i'm much the same fashion that Phila-
delphia regarded Connie Mack's pen
nant trust Of few years back. II has
come 10 regard the classy aggregation
of Bill Carrigan as something lnvln-
chile.
Only Pity To- Robins.
Whom BROOKLYN came to town the
Bostonese regarded Robbie's boys as
objects of pity. They figured the
Dodgers as fitting sacrifice. But "A
sacrifice only. Now, in spite OF Brook
lvn's rather Indifferent game, the cham
pion Of the National League Is no
longer regarded quite so light as 1t
was forty-eight hours ago.
Brooklyn played lot OF bad base
ball in its FIRST tussle with the worlds
champions. But in spite Of its bad
ball il came within an eyelash of nip
ming the Red Sox. Brooklyn did not
quit in the face OF overwhelming de
feat. II proved it had a good punch
even when groggy. A whole lot OF
people now believe that Brooklyn will
make n real fight Of it even if the
Dodgers cannot win. And that - all
anybody who is fan ever asks-the
best fight possible.
Rube Marquard outpitched Ernie
Shore, and the latter was expected 10
be one OF Carrigan's best. Marquard
will be fit for the opening game IN
Brooklyn Tuesday afternoon. If the
Rube is up TO another such game as
he showed here he will have better
than an even chance to beat anybody
Carrigan may nominate against him
next time. Brooklyn is not likely TO
play such loose defensive game as
the one which beat the visitors Satur'
day.
Il is remarkable the confidence which
Wilbert Robinson and his followers
nre showing. They frankly admit all
their shortcomings.
"Thc boys were nervous nj the start,
and naturally So" said Wilbert Robin
son. "The nervousness wore off; IL
will not affect them again. Ny play

National League friends of Robbie
who are familiar with the faults and
virtues of the Red Sox have advised
him strongly 20 use Larry Cheney in
the second game and save Coombs.

pions are marks for good spitball
pitching, and they think Cheney could
get by all right. These same solons be-
leve that Carrigan will wait with Ruth
until he gets 10 Brooklyn. and that

SITUATION CONSIDERED MOST
SERIOUS THAT HAS CON-
FRONTED U. S.
DIPLOMATIC SITUATION GRAVE
Secretary Lansing Has Asked Aus
trian Government For Any lnfor.
nation Regarding Name of Sub
marine That Sunk the Persia.

ngtOn-President Wilson re-
turned to the capitol to take charge
of the new crisis in foreign relations
caused by the submarine campaign III
the Mediterranean, with loss of an
American life.
Secretary Lansing announced he
had instructed Ambassador Penfield
at Vienna to ask the Austrian gov
ernment for any information which
might establish the nationality of the
submarine which is said to have sunk
the Persia and which would develop
the facts in the case.
1t was stated authoritatively that
the destruction Of the Persia and
Glengyle had put such a grave aspect
on the relations of the United States
with the Teutonic powers that the
president considered it necessary to
return to the White House at once
for conferences with Sec etary Lans-
ing and the other members Of the
cabinet to shape the course of the
government.
The situation as it exists was de-
scribed in official quarters as parallel
ing, the crisis which was caused by
the sinking of the Arabic close on
Germany's assurances in response TO
Of tho ITpitp6
States on the destruction Of the Lusi-
tania.
Although American officials are
keeping their minds open until they
have all the facts in the Persia case
officially and know whether Ameri
cans we're endangered in the sinking
of the Glengyle, the gravity of the
situation is not minimi2ed and the
declaration of Baron Zwiedinek, the
Austrian charge that he was conf.
dent the final explanation would be
satisfactory has not lessened the ten
sion.
One new fact developed in the Per
sia case The American consul at
Alexandria reported that the ship
mounted one 4.7-inch gun, but did not
state where the gun was mounted.
This may become a factor in the case.
The Hague convention, however, pro-
vides that a merchant ship may car
ry a gun mounted on her stern for
purposes of defense without being
considered an armed ship,

BRITISH STEAMER PERSIA SANK
IN FIVE MINUTES AFTER
BEING HIT.

London.-Unofficial dispatches from
Cairo state that the British steam
ship Persia, sunk in the Mediter'
ranean, was torpedoed without warn
ing and sank in five minutes
Between $50 and 100 survivors have
been landed at Alexandria, Egypt.
Robert ~ McNeely, American con.
sui at Alden, Arabia, is believed to
have been drowned. Reuters Cairo
correspondent makes the unreserved
statement that Mr.. McNeely lost hts
life. Charles H. Grant of Boston was
saved.
Details of the sinking of the Persia
came in slowly, but they indicated
that the number Of persons who es-
capped in the four boats which were
put off was larger than was hoped
when the first news was received. The
Peninsula and Oriental Company,
which owned the Persia, announced
that 1853 survivors had arrived at Alex.
andria A Lloyds' dispatch gives the
number as 153, made up of SO passen-
gers, of whom II are women and "a
members of the crew, including SO
Lascars. The survivors include 10
military officers and eight persons
who are not British subjects
THE ship was struck amidships on
the port side at 1:10 p. m.," says
Reuters correspondent at Cairo. "She
had disappeared completely by 1;15.
Survivors say it was little short Of
miracle that any one was saved.
There was no panic. Four boats were
launched with the utmost prompt
tude,
THE captain was drowned. When
last seen he was swimming, after the
liner had plunged beneath the sur
face"
Both the Peninsula and Oriental
Company and Reuters Cairo CORE
spondent say that Mr.. Grant has been
landed at Alexandria. The steam
ship company had received no news OF
Mr.. McNeely's fate.

AMERICAN PEACE
PLANS OUTLINED
ARBITRATION SUGGESTED BY
SECRETARY OF STATE LANS.
ING FOR BOUNDARY LINES.

Washington.-In a new step for the
preservation OF peace on the American
continent and the development of Pan
American unity, the United States has
formally invited the Latin-American
republics to join in a convention TO
compel arbitration of boundary dis
putes and prohibit shipment of war
munitions to revolutionaries.
Secretary Lansings proposal, de-
livered with the approval of President
Wilson to the resident Pan-Ameri AN
diplomats here for submission to their
home foreign offices, has for its OBJ
jcct the preservation of peace in Pan
America that it may face the old world
free of internal dissension.
While the proposal was being com
municated to some of the diplomats
and being discussed among the dele
gates to the Pan-American Scientific
Congress, Elihu Root, former secretary
of state, speaking before the lnterna-
tional law section of the congress,
made this declaration:
so long as the spirit of American
freedom shall continue, it shall range
us side by side with you, great and
small, for the maintenance Of the
rights of nations, the rights which ex-
ist as against us and against all the
rest of the world. We hail the small
lest state, be it upon an island of the
caribbean or anywhere in Central or
South America, as our equal in dignity,
in right to respect and in right TO
treatment as an equal.
The status of the negotiations and
the details of Secretary Lansing's pro
posal are being held as confidential
between the State Department and the
LatIn-American chancellories here. Mi.
Lansing declined entirely to discuss it
in any phase and the diplomats uni,
formly declared they could not dis
cuss a matter which was in its pre-
liminary stage and under considera-
ton by their home foreign offices.
