leader was shown yesterday when
Doc" Cook resumed his position at
second base. He returned from Chi

into the game. Players on the Har-
risburg team who are doing the best
they know how deserve all the praise
possible. Conditions are not en-

bring an adjustment. Money is the
thing most needed now,
Efforts to bring about dissensions
among Harrisburg players have to
date been unsuccessful. Players who
have grievance should go to the
manager in a businesslike manner,
and not tell II to the world. Man
ager George Cockill is doing his best

get the team moving smoothly, and
it was a cowardly trick to wait until
he left the city and start trouble.

sible for a statement that in a GER

from day to day. Further than that,
there is not a newspaper on the
Farrell circuit that gives the space

Copenhagen, Oct. 13.-Admiral von Tirpitz, former minister of the German imperial navy, is quoted as saying in an interview today:
 We can continue, confident of final triumph over England, as long as we continue to sink vessels faster than she can construct them.
 "A submarine war success cannot be expected immediately, however, but if we pursue our aim firmly, we shall find, after some months, that our posi- ton with England will be quite diff erent.''
 "England,' continued von Tirpitz desires negotiations now while her position is comparatively favorable.
 rThe decisive factors are the ship ping losses suffered by the entente and by the neutrals who expose themselves to our u-boat war
 The former minister of the marine said the decisive factor is that, while Germany supplies four-fiTths of her economic needs from her own pro auctions, England has to fetch four fifthS of hers from over seas
