Let us remind our readers again
who it is that is speaking. 1t is the
foreign minister of the nation which
murdered the women and children
on the Lusitania by a torpedo sent
without warning from a submarine.
1t is the foreign minister of the ma.
tion which has now sent another sub

without making reparation for it or
even apology for it, and without in
the least abandoning her pretensions
at being in the right in thus com

"To allow the attack without warn
ing upon an unarmed, fragile boat,
with the lives of the crew at the
mercy of a single shot, that is some
thing of which we refuse to believe
the United States is capable"
These are the words of Herr Won
Jagow, German minister of foreign
affairs. He is quoted by William Bay
ard Hale, a special correspondent Of
the International News Service--a cor
respondent by no means prejudiced
against Germany. As this is from a
long statement by Herr Won Jagow,
quoted verbatim it may be accepted,
we believe, as authentic. Otherwise
it would not have been allowed to
pass the censor in Berlin.
The practice Of sinking merchant
vessels and drowning without warn
ing the noncombatants aboard them
is a German custom, and has received
the sanction of the German govern
ment Americans, and even English
men and Frenchmen, have ceased to
be shocked at such deeds, because
they have learned to take them as part
of the expected methods of the Ger
man war machine.
Now, however, the Germans have
sent across the seas a boat, the |

describes as being "as fragile as an |

States department of state. And yet
she is not an ordinary merchantman.

BROWNS MUST PAY o'coNNoR.
Court of Appeals Rules Affirming
$500 Decision for Him.

ST. LOUIS, January 5.-A verdict Of
a jury in the state circuit court in May.
1912, which awarded John O'Connor dam
ages of $1,000 against the st. Louis
American League club because O'Connor
was discharged as manager while he was
under contract for another year. was af-
firrned by the st. Louis court Of appeals
yesterday. -
Evidence was brought by the ball club
to substantiate the charge that OConnor
as manager conspired with his fellow
players in october, 1910, to allow Lajoie
of the Cleveland team to get large
number of hits and thus defeat Cobb of
Detroit in contest for an automobile,
but the court of appeals held this evil
dence failed to convince the trial jury
that OConnor was guilty Of the con-
spiracy.
The court held also that the contract
with OConnor was not void because of
ambiguity.

PALACE. SURPRISES,
DEFEATING ROYALS
Runners-Up in National Capt.
tai League Have Sweep
Made Against Them.

Palace sprang quite a surprise in the
National Bowling Capital League last
night by taking three straight games
from the Royals. The first two contests
were won by very small margins. the
score of the opening conflict being 81
to 519 and the second 499 to ASS. The
Royals were close to first place, and
they had their full strength on the
floor. with the hope of capturing
enough games to put them on top. The
sweep made against them proves quite
setback and gives the Velvet Kind
much better lead.
Keeler, Wood and Mueller were the
best bowlers for the Palace five. The
only game made by these three play
ers which fell below the one-hundred
mark was the second by Mueller, and
he registered as close as possible to
that figure without actually getting it
80: Mueller's other two scores were
101 and 120. Woods counts were Ill,
1O6 and los. Keeler knocked down ia,
107 and 107. Pop HALEY was the most
consistent member of the Royal quint,
knocking down 105 100 and 104 pins.
Martinsburg Coming Here.
1t will be interesting to the follow
ers of the duckpin game that a ten
game match has been arranged with the
Palace team of Martinsburg, w. Va,
captained by Don H. Parsons. and an
all-star aggregation in charge of George
L. Isemann of this city. The first block
of five games will be rolled Friday
night, the remaining games of the
match to be rolled at a date set later,
in the West Virginia city. Total pins
will count.
Isemann is greatly interested in the
coming A. C. B. A. tournament, and is
leaving nothing undone to arouse in
terest in those who are not in the fold
to come across" In their match with
the Martihsburgers it will be we'll for
the locals to take advantage of every
opening, because reports are that the
dry state tribe has been rolling
some very high sets in it's recent vic
tories over Hagerstown, Hancock and
Frederick. Last year the Giants. under
Isemann: rolled one, of the highest
games, 629. and the largest f1ve-game
set ever recorded with wooden pins,
1883, in the District, their lead of over
800 pins coming in very handy at the
termination of the setto, because their
opponents gathered over 200 pins
shooting at the rubber-banded naples.
Manager Cafritz of the Grand Central
alleys has again extended the use of
his runways. In their recent match
with Hagerstown. Michaud and Ise-
mann had the highest averages for the
ten games rolled, 1853 and 1855, re-
spectively. Michaud and Baum tied for
high game, 152. Following is the line
up of both teams:
| Martinsburg Siler. Edmonds, Cas-
key. Anderson, Dunn, Parsons (cap-
tain).

Reports are current that both ends
of the Phillies' star battery-AleXan,ler
and killifer-are in bad physical con-
dition and neither may be able to play
this season.
Alexander who hurt his arm nearly
a month before the end of the 1915
season. has had considerable trouble
with it ever since and seems unable to
make it swing properly when working
out at his home. killifers shoulder
went to the bad some time before the
close of the campaign and he could
not take part in the world series ex-
cept as a pinch hitter in the last game.
and the shoulder has not shown any
improvement since. Without this bat
terry the Phillies would have finished
in the ruck last year, and If the two
of them are unable to toe the scratch
in the spring the teams chances of
repeating will be greatly lessened.
