SOX HAVE THE STUFF BUT NEED
TEAM PERFECTION

o some peSSiInlSIlC IdnS me WhlI9
Sox looked bad individually yester-
day. There were some criticisms
that the men did not look to be the
fine fielders the spectators had been
led to look for.
Far from falling down, the men of
both SoX and Browns did exception
ally well, considering the slippery
condition Of the ground and the ball.
Only two bad throws were commit
ted, which was cOmmendable under
the Unfavorable circumstances.
The oUtfieIders, especially the ones
who camped in right field, had a ter
TibIe time. At least two balls got
away from Memo EebOld that would
have been outs under ordinary cir
Cumstances. He appeared to be mis-
judging the ball, but in reality there
was no chance for judgment.
As a rule the ball was black imme-
diately it went into play. The skies
were dark, and it was impossible for
the gardeners to see the pill in the
air until it had risen above the shad-
Ow of the grandstand roof. Further,

which caused the ball to twist like an
unmanageable aeroplane. Even Ed
die Collins was affected by the aerial
peculiaTities and the wind caused
him to misjudge a fly ball.
On balls hit along the ground the
SOX appeared competent. Weaver
made no bad throws, even with a
slippery sphere, Risberg committing
the only bad heave. The newcomer
at short exhibited plenty of conf
dence in his own ability. He was
making his debut before the largest
crowd he ever saw at a ball game. It
was a crowd in a holiday hUmoT, but
it was also critical and it watched his
every movement.
He knew that slip by him would
be given more notice than a miscue
by any other feIIOW-on the club. But

Germany Is Tapping
Gables from Russia,
Washington Suspects
Delay Of Messages from Ambas-
sador Francis Indicates
1ampering
From TIE Tribune Bureau

Washington, June 2. Delays Of from
three to four days in the transmission
of cables from Ambassador Francis, at
Petrograd, at time when authentic
information from the Russian capital
is so eagerly desired by the Aminis-
tration, has given rise in the State
Department to suspicion that IN
some way German agents, either IN
Russia or elsewhere, are interceptlng
and DECIDING the messages.
The cable company has been re-
ouested to trace the messages and dis
cover the cause of the delay. Mes
sages filed days apart are received TO-
gether in some instances, occasionally
a large batch of them being received
simultaneously. This has created the
belief here that they were held after
being filed.
II was the understanding OF the
State Department that the cable over
which the dispatches are sent IS con-
trolled by England-that 1t ooes not
pass through Sweden, but is laid direct
from England to Archangel.
There is a possibility that German
influences at Petrograd are causing the
delay, thus interfering with the inter
change Of views between the United
States and Russian governments and at
the same time obtaining for Berlin IN
advance all information relating 20 the
discussions between Russia and this
country. Since the publication of the
famous Zimmerman note, it has been
believed here that Germany is using
every resource to embsrrass the Unit
ed States through use of information
obtained by tapping" diplomatic cor
respondence.

Il. S. Warns Gomez Against
Letting Germans Buy
Margarita Island
Panama Would
Be Threatened
Shipments Through Cana
Could Be Menaced by
Submarine Activity

Washington, June THE State De
partment. it was learned to-day, has
received what are considered reliable
reports that the German government
or German subjects are negotiating
for the purchase or the control OF the
Island of Margarita, off the north coast
Of Venezuela, for the purpose OF es-
tablishing a submarine base.
The Department of State does not
believe that the government or Presi-
dent Gomez of Venezuela fails to real
ize the Importance of such an evert
as the Passage Of Margarita to the con-
troll Of an enemy of the United States,
or is unmindful of the fact that 1t
would be a violation of the Monroe
Doctrine. which was once invoked on
Venezuelan behalf. The United States
government has caused the information
in its possession as to this reported in
trigue to be laid before President
Gomez. 1t is known that German agents
have for some time been active Ill
Venezuela. and in some respects have
become influential.
The Island of Margarita is on the
northern coast of Venezuela. With its
adjacent waters, including the Gull Of
Cariaco. it is admirably adapted Tor
use as a naval base. 1t is located near
the southeastern corner OF the Carlb-
bean Sea, nearly on the direct route
TO the Panama Canal. 1t has ample
and safe anchorage for large fleet
Il is some five hundred miles from
Culebra and one thousand miles from
Colon.
It has been known by the American
government for weeks that German IN
duences have been actively at work IN
Venezuela, and that indirect, il not
direct. means have been used by agents
Of the Kaiser to secure popular and
official sympathy.

First Time in History
British Undersea Craft Smoth-
ers Foe Lying on the
Bottom

London, June 2.-The French SUD-
marine Circe, while operating IN the
Adriatic Sea, recently torpedoed and
sank large enemy U-boat coming
from the Austrian base at Cattaro,

warfare that one submarine has sue
cessfully attacked another with the
torpedo.
The Circe, it is said, was lying with
only her periscope exposed, when the
hostile submarine approached on the
surface. accompanied by a torpedo
boat. After the Circe discharged her
missile she was attacked By Austrian
airplanes, but managed TO evade the
fiers. returning safely to her base.
The story OF me smothering OF
German U-boat by British submarine
has been brought to light here through
the report published in the "Rhein-
ische Westfalische Zeitung" that, on
April 10, German "unterseeooot,
lying submerged. rammed a British
submarine, both craft rising to the
surface and escaping undamsged. This
