 Officials on being asked to explain have refused to give any reason for the manoover.
 The Germans on board the ships show no signs of unwonted activity hut i. is believed the collector of the pert had reasons for thinking that the interned ships might attempt a dash to sea. This suggestion is thought to bo without foundation as they could cs silly be oyerhauled.
 That tho Germans will try to sink tfeir ships is deemed probable but it Is impossible to conceive how the gunboats can prevent such acts.

Was IT MURDER?
SOX Assert the Giants Died by
Suicide Route.
McGraW's Men Played Like
BlOOmer Girls Monday.
BY HUGH BAILLIE.

New York, Oct 16.-The coroner's
jury will please come to order. First,
we will view the deceased. Behold
the mangled remains of the New York
Giants. And here we have the Chi
cago White Sox, accused of brutally,
and in cold blood, cutting down the
Giants, four games to two, in order to
seize the worlds baseball champion
ship.
The defendant Sox plead that the
Giants committed suicide. AS Exhibit
A, they show a gnarled bone left on
the field by Heinie Zimmerman
The scene of the crime is definitely
established as the Polo Grounds. The
coup de grace was score of four to
two in the deciding game and from
the wilds of darkest Harlem, a groan
arose just as the sun sank in a blood
red welter of clouds, entirely appro-
pirate.
The first three cantos of the fatal
game were no more excruciating than
a bull fight. The dirty work began
in the fourth. Zimmerman let Eddie
Collins reach first by committing a
sour peg to that sack. Then Robert
SON aIter taking root under a high
one from Jackson's bat, curdled the
souls of the Gothamites by letting the
bau percolate thru his digits. Thus
with Collins on third, jackson on
Erst' and the Giants playing like
Bloomer Girls, the stage was Set for
the tragedy.
The Horrible Scene.
Iurn on the purple lights and give
US little wormy music on the fiddle
Tor TINS scene Felsch prodded one
TO Rube Benton. Collins made a
Iurch Tor nome. Benton herded
him back toward third, then tossed
TO zimmerman. Collins, after a lit
tie Hula-Hula on the path, waved TO-
Jackson and Felsch to keep on adj
Vancing-the1 brcGe for home
Catcher Rariden blocked his flight
enemies hemmed him in on every
side, but Zimmerman, instead of toss
ing to Rariden, elected to pursue Col
Inns toward the plate. Thus Collins
IN wild flight was forced to scamper
home and tally Chicago's first ace
with Zimmerman, in pop-eyed
frenzy, at his heels. Jackson achieved
third and Felsch second during this
horror, and while McGraw's hackers
were still gibbering<with anguish. Gan
dill scored them both with a single.
At this point the coroner's jury ad-
journed for ten minutes to wiring out
their soaked handkerchief. The jury
held that as a third baseman, Zim-
norman is a great Splinter. The jur-
ors, however, did not think much of
his choice of time and place for stag
ing his race with Collins.
Buck Weaver, the Sox short stop,
tossed a pebble into New York's ma
chinery in the fifth inning and pre-
vented a tie score by his f1ossy han
ding of Burns drive. Burns hit the
ball a fierce whack, but Weaver
speared it as it whizzed by and
snapped it to second SO fast that most
of the fans overlooked his circus
work. 1t was the play that prevented
a tying run being put over.
We now pass over several harrow,
ing episodes and view the ninth. 1t

Who WAS HERO?.
Official Figures on the Worlds
Series Given Out.
Robertson Led All Batters of
Both Teams.

Who was the hero of The worlds
series?
Many fans have been asking this
question and as many more will prob
ably make as many different answers
after they have studied the official
figures.
Urban Faber, the Chicago pitcher
who put the title in cold storage Mon
day and who won two games for the
SoX will probably share with Cicotte,
his teammate, the pitching honors and
there is no doubt but that Dave Rob
ertson with his batting average of
500, made by eleven hits out of TWEEN
ty-two times at bat, would stand out
as the individual stick star had the
Giants won. But it is pretty hard to
make a hero out of player on a
losing club, especially when he makes
a bad bobble in the deciding game as
Robertson did Monday
The real hero, of course, must wear
pale on his shins and every one can
easily make his own pick by using the
following official figures furnished by
the scorers of the games:

HEROES AND BONERS
COmiskey and McGraw Have Furnished
Many for Worlds Series Battles.

Charles Comiskey has presented
baseball history with two famous
worlds series heroes
George Robe, unheard of before
the White SoX and Cubs met in their
clash of 1906, sparkled in that worlds
series with such brilliance that he de-
feated the powerful machine almost
single handed. His defensive play at
third base was astounding. His bat
ting was terrific.
Today Comiskey presents another
hero-Red Faber, the red-headed
youth from Cascade, Ia, who tripped
the Giants three times in their battle
for the 1917 worlds championship
Red almost ranks also with the ia
nous boners of worlds series, for on
his first appearance in the series he
stole third base with Buck Weaver
occupying the bag.
ChriSty Mathewson was McGraw's
greatest worlds series star. He set
a record in 1905 when he thrice faced
the Athletics and blanked them each
time.
And now McGraw presents the
greatest Observation-Disclosures thinner
mantle man who tried to run down
Eddie Collins, for a put out and
chased him across the plate with the
winning run of the deciding game
Fred Merkle and Fred Snodgrass also
rank in McGraw's hall of notoriety.
They struggled hard and finally lost
the deciding game to Boston in 1912
and cinched the worlds champion
ship of that year for the Red Sox by
foozling fly balls.

Urban Faber took a good sized slice
of the worlds series fimelight from
Eddie Cicotte, Monday, when he
pitched the White Sox to victory and
the championship in the sixth game
of the worlds series at New York.
Faber is one of COmiskey's young
sters and may be spoken of as one of
the latest arrivals in the baseball hall
of fame.
