ACT DOES NOT VIOLATE
INTERNATIONAL LAWS

Norfolk, Va. July 25.-Without
warning to United States officials, one
of the British cruisers lying off Cape
Henry, awaiting the appearance of
the German submersl.;es, Deutsch.
land and Bremen, steamed through
the Virginia capes today, and steam
ed toward Fortress Monroe, cruised
about an hour or more, and then re-
turned to a point just outside the
three-mile limit.
The United States warship, Louisi-
ana, and the collier, Neptune, were
the only government vessels which
sighted the ship, and a detailed re-
port was made to Washington tonight
by naval authorities. Officials here
said that while entry into American
water without warning was very I'M
usual, they could see in it no viola
ton of international law, or naviga-
tion regulations. '..f.
Initial knowledge of the presence of
the British vessel in American waters
came when an officer on the Louisiana
sighted her about 500 yards behind
him, just inside Cape Henry. She
was carrying steaming lights. The
Louisiana proceeded slowly up the
bay until reaching Haven Roads,
when she prepared to stop, and then
noticing the unidentified ship almost
alongside, signaled her. The cruiser
put out man-o'-war lights, and on re-
quest for her identity, signaled "Erit-
ish cruiser" through the darkness. A
heavy fog overshadowed the water at
the time, and the officer Of the Louisi.
ana was unable to make out tho
cruisers name. Shortly after display
ing her cruiser signal the warship
moved on up the bay. Members CT

ANN|STON EXPECTS TENANT WINNER Selection of Wade Rey- holds Popular With
 the Fans

Anniston, March 15.--(SpeciaL )-Presi- dent Paul G. Cornelius of the Anniston club of the Georgia-Alabama league, is holds, manager of the local club, saying that he will be in Anniston about April to prepare for the training season and supervise the work of putting the ball park in good condition.
 Anniston fans are very much pleased in the selection of Reynolds as manager of the local club. His work in winning the fiji st seasons flag for Brunswick, in the Georgia State league last year, is con- sidered a good piece of generalship and the local fans have hopes of seeing him win the race in the Georgia-Alaba bama league.
 Reynolds will have to build almost a complete new team, as only three men who were reserved from last years team are expected to make good. Sigmon and Morrison of the pitching staff are holding out for more money. Morrison is attempt ing to get his release, giving as his req son that he has been offered a place in the Southern league at s175 per month. Unless the club which wants Morrison buys him from the local association, Pres- ident Cornelius says that he will play with the local club or not at all. Other piayers who were reserved from last year teams are Luna and Miles, catch CTS, and Chastant and Red Boylzin, out fielders As Reynolds will do most of the receiving for the local club, Miles and Luna will probably be given a chance in the outfield.
 The local manager has about 12 or 15 men on the string who played in the de- frnct Georgia State league last season, whom he expects to have signed before April l, and states that he is receiving on an average of five applications each day from youngsters who want a trial

.ENSLEy EXPECTING
 GOOD YEAR UNDER
 CRA|G'S DIRECTION
Followers Expecting Best Team in HistOry-First Game to Be Played
 on April }
By HAROLD MANDY

The Ensley High school baseball team for the coming season will be the best, without a doubt that has ever repre- sented the local school, and the mem- bers of the team are determined to win the championship this year. Coach Craig is fast cutting down his youngsters, and has at present only about 70 men out for practice. Practice is being held daily on the T. c. l. grounds. and Coach Craig is putting his team through pretty stiff practice in making preparations for the opening game with the central High school team. which will be held in Ensley on April 3. This game prom ises to be one of the main games of the season. and much enthusiasm is being shown by the followers of both teams. The Ensley boys will hold a parade and have several other attractions for the occasion.
 As for the team, Coach Craig has four men who are trying out for catcher and all are very promising men, Golf, who was first catcher last year, will be one of the mainstays of that department. and will, no doubt, have the same honors this season Blaylock is another can- didate for that position and is very good man. He was subcatcher last sea- son and has fine chance for making
  youngster, with a good arm on him, though trifle weak at the bat, is an- other promising catcher. The final can didate for this position is Mays, who is a good hitter and fast on the bases Without a doubt, Brown and Shurdock will be the leading pitchers this year, and unless something happens these men will do the bulk of the twirling. Both possess W onderful speed, and have good control and on these two stars will rest the burden of their chances for the championship Israel, a promising re- ol uit, probably possesses more speed than any of the pitchers, but falls a little short on curves. If Scokel, who is at present ill with blood poison, returns in time for practice, he will make another good twirIer for the locals. He has a good arm, and can make ball do any thing except hit a bat The infied looms up to be the best combination of Coach Craig's warriors. Albert at first, ir scooping them up; anything between first and second base, and the only way to get one by him is to hit high fly to the outfield. He is a heavy hitter, and a good man on the bases.
 Phillips at second, is the only young man in the infield, and is covering up heavy hitter and probably the fastest man in the infield. At third "BulI' Dur ham is sure to be second Frank Baker. He played with the American Steel and Wire mill team last year, and was very valuable man. He is the cleanup man with the bat, and is a con-

SHROPSHIRE MUST l. bE ANXIOUS ID GET SOUTHPAW KELLEY
Offers to Stand All Ex- penses for Trip to Nash vile for a Con-
 ference

1 Roy Ellam, Clyde Shropshire and com- 1 pany at Nashville are certainly deslrous ! of obtaining the services of Herbert kel- | 1y the former Cracker, and who was re- ] gently released by the Pittsburg Nationals for some unknown reason. Not only are the Vols dickering with the Notre Dame student as to his wishes or conditions to play ball this summer, but every club in the league has made some kind of an offer to the phenom.
 Shropshire, however, is exceedingly anx- ious to see Kelly member of the Vols tvirlng staff, and after keeping the wires hot with no noticeable results, he has offered to pay all expenses of Kelly to Nashville for conference. What Kelly will do remains in doubt but it is con- sdered probable that he will take some berth in a league where he can receive higher salary.
 The Nashville Tennessean describes Shropshire's actions in effort to rope Kelly in as follows:
 If MT. Herbert Kelly desires to talk to the Vol bosses about the funds he would require to hurl the baseball for Roy FL lam, he can have all his expenses paid to Nashville for a chin-chin with the lOCalS. Last nlSnI GfeAy onTOpSliiIt cult ed an epistle to the Notre Dame scholar ir which he offered to stand for all the bills which MT. Kelly might accumulate to and from. and in .Yoltown . on such a mission.
 WANTS UNKNOWN
 As to actually what MT. Kelly wants in the pay check department, the Vol moguls are in the. dark All that the ex-Cracker will tell the Vols is to Ibid high for me since only 10 clubs are on my trail.' The thing could be more intelligently dis cussed if MT. Kelly would get down to bl ass tacks and name his figures.
 Naturally since so many pilots are seek ing his services it is the intention of the Cracker portsider to knock himself down to the highest bidder. Being free agent as MT. Kelly is, through the court esy of the Pirates, does have it's ad- vantages And the Cracker slabber in- tends to boost the bidding as long as he is on the auction block.
 Of course there is little possibility that the Vols will land both Kelly and Kreh. since both heave the pellet with the off arm and both are gents who require fancy figures at the end of each month On the rubber the pair of southpaws are hard gents to down, by any mans baseball crew, and either would materially strengthen the slabbng corps for Roy Ellam.
