Baseball Season
Opens Tomorrow

Cambridge High School will play
the first baseball game of the season
at home tomorrow, by meeting the
strong Hurlock High School team.
Last year the Hurlock team was
undisputed champion of the Eastern
Shore, and from reports, expect to
repeat the dose this year.
Cambridge is building up team
and will no doubt have a good sea-
son. Capt. McAllister has been
working with the boys regularly for
about three weeks, and there is pros
pect for fast team. The infield po-
sitions will probably be as follows:
McAllister, 1st b.; Seitz, End b.;
Flowers, S. s.; Moore, 3rd b. Out
field: Steiner, Hopkins and Tyler,
or Leonard. Battery: Wolff, p;
Fell, C.
Considerable attention has been
given to developing pitching staff.
In addition to Wolff. Hopkins, Flow
ers and Moore have been showing
good form.
Hurlock places much confidence
in their captain and pitcher, Brad
ley, who is rated as the star High
School pitcher on the Shore. How
ever, our boys are going into the
game to win, and convince the pub
lie that we have a team this year
that will play good, fast ball.
The game tomorrow will be call
ed at $50 p. m.

Camp "Zac" Taylor

The Ohio county boys are having
great time in Camp Taylor. We
have been here one week and are get
ting use to camp life. We drill from
five to eight hours per day. Drilling
is, by no means, play. 1t gives such
an appetite as we never had. This
is shown by the way We eat when
we go to the mess hall. We are fed
only food that enables us to do hard
work. The aim of the cooks is to
give each man all the food he wants.
Nearly every one gets his plate filed
twice.
Though we are 10 our present
quarters temporarily, we find every
thing very convenient and comforta-
BILE. We are to move to our new
quarters in few DAYS. then we will
have our own cooks.
We have not received our uniforms
yet, but are expecting them in a few
days. The boys who are coming in
later should bring plenty of supplies
with them to do until their uniforms
come.
We have plenty amussnents. The

And Authentic.
BUT NO OATES ARE GIVEN
British Admiralty Tells How
Torpedo GunbOat Crashes
Into Submarine.

London, Sept. 30.-Another series
of thrilling reports of recent naval
actions against German submarines,
illustrative of the manner in which
the U-boat menace is being met, was
given out tonight by the Admiralty.
The records are official and anthem
ticated. but no dates are given.
The statement begins by reciting
how torpedo gunboat sighted a
periscope six hundred yards away,
and turned ship so that the periscope
was travelling in the opposite direc-
ton to that in which it was first
seen. When at a distance of fifty
yards, the periscope disappeared and
the gunboat. altering its course,
passed over the submarine.
The impact Of the collision was
felt and when the captain estimated
that the submarine was under the
after part of his ship, explosive
charges were dropped astem. A
seaplane reported patches of oil on
the surface and a mine sweeper
found an obstruction on the bottom
at this point.
A torpedo boat patrolling in the
Atlantic found a steamer torpedoed
and sinking. The survivors were
rescued and then the torpedo boat
circled about the locality for more
than an hour. Finally white patch
of water was seen dead ahead.
Bombs Dropped.
The torpedo boat dashed over the
spot, grazed the submarine and
dropped three submarine bombs. Oil
and air bubbles reeking of gasoline
came to the surface and the mine
sweeper found another obstruction
here.
