MOTORCYCLES CRASH
TOGETHER
ALBERT STORMS HAS FOOT AMPU.
TATED-ROY BARNES RECEIVED
FRACTURED HAND.

Albert Storms and Roy Barnes, two
young men living at Cranberry, were
seriously injured Monday evening
when they ran together on motor
cycles on the state road on a curve
below the old mill, near Cranberry.
Both young men were taken to the
Maryland University, Baltimore, the
same evening for treatment.
The surgeons on examination found
that young Storms right foot was
crushed and the only remedy was to
amputate it above the ankle which
was done on Tuesday morning.
Young Barnes was more fortunate,
his injuries consisted of a fractured
hand and other minor injuries.
1t is said the accident was caused
by the riders passing some people
walking, and lost control of their ma
chimes in getting away.
One of the riders went through a
fence and clump of bushes.

Blue RIDGE DOES
WELL
CAPTURES 7 OUT OF 10 GAMES, CITY
COLLEGE BEING THE VICTIM In
CLOSING BATTLE.

Blue Ridge College, New Windsor
brought very successful season to a
close by defeating Baltimore City Col
lege, s to 4. Another page in It's his
tory has been turned, and, although
blotted by three defeats, it is q record
of team altogether worthy OF high
recommendation.
A schedule of II games was a-1ang-
ed with the teams that by no means
were unworthy rivals. Under the di4
rection of Coach Clauser the nine de-
veloped into rather a strong one. 1t
went through the season with an ag-
gregate of 81 points to its opponents
43, giving total of seven victories
and three defeats.
One of the most noticeable features
of the season was the batting Of the
entire team. Four men hit more than
800, while several others were close
to that mark. Manager Barnes led
the team, with an average of 1878,
while Captain Bonsack followed with
.341, and Masonheimer with 1923.
The club was handicapped because
of having only one pitcher. However,
Phillips, youngster, has been de-
veloped so rapidly that by another
season his services should be a great
help. He pitched against City Col
lege and held them to eight scattered
hits
The receiving end was we'll taken
care of by Corder, West Virginian.
His pegging was of the frst-class va
riety. Few men stole bases.
The infield, composed of p. Bonsack,
NJ Burdette, BrandenDurg
and Hooker, rounded into a very ex-
cellent combination. Masonheimer
and Burdette, the big shortstop, cer-
tainly played creditable ball through
out the entire season. Brandenburg,
on the hot corner, did we'll.
The Outfield was composed Of
Barnes, Cover and King. They made
three errors.
The college will not lose man by
graduation.

IS GERMAN SHIPS LOST in BATTLE
British Admiralty Now Insists Foes
Loss Greater Than Own fin North
Sea Fight-Mine Field Greatly Ham,
pered British and Caused Many
TnSSnS

The British Admiralty Sunday is
sued a statement saying there was
the strongest grounds for the belief
that the British Navy in the battle
with the Germans off Jutland last
week had accounted for a total of IS
German men-of-War, and that there
was nothing to add to or subtract
from the original announcement of the
British losses, which numbered IA
The statement gave the German
losses as two battleships, two dread
naught battle-cruisers, four light
cruisers, nine torpedo destroyers and
a submarine.
The pessimism which prevailed as
a result of the Admiralty's original
statement of losses, which now is con-
sidered to have been needlessly can
did and conservative in underesti-
mating the extent of the German
losses as compared with those of
Great Britain, has been greatly less
ened by the latest statement
A dispatch from Copenhagen says
rumors are current in Hamburg that
two additional German warships Than
those announced in the German COM
munication-the battleship Westfal-
en- and the battle cruiser Lutzow-
were sunk in the battle A wireless
dispatch received from Berlin, Satur-
day, said the German Admiralty ad-
mitted the loss of the Westfalen.
The official list or the casualties
among officers shows that hardly a
single officer of the line escaped from
the British cruisers sunk in the battle.
An additional casualty list of petty
officers shows that 43 of them were
saved from the Queen Mary, Invinci-
BILE, Fortune, Ardent and Shark. None
was saved from the Indefatigable, De-
tense, Black Prince, Tipperary, Tur-
bulent, Normad or Nestor.
The list gives the names of 65 men
killed aboad the Warrior and of 27
men wounded. On the other ships en-
gagged in the fight, 115 men were kill
ed and So wounded.
Admiral Lord Beresford, in an in
terview while contending strongly
for the view that there was no failure
IN the British strategy and that Vice
Admiral Beatty won a brilliant sue
cess, although it was dearly bought,
declares that the only mistake made
was by the Admiralty allowing the
Germans to get first in the field with
the news of the battle.
Between 5000 and 10000 lives were
lost in the naval battle in the North
Sea, the greatest in the worlds his
tory. Of this loss the British sustain
ed 5000. The German loss is vari-
Ously estimated at 5000 and 5000
lives. Two British rear admirals-
Hood and Arbuthnot-wentd down with
their ships. 1t is estimated that $50
Warships were engaged in the titanic
struggle.
