FIVE AMERICANS
ROYER'S CAPTIYES
Survivors Tell of Adventurous
Cruise as Prisoners of
German Raider.
GIVEN GOOD TREATMENT

RIO Janeiro, April Five Amer
ican citizens were among the 2SS
prisoners captured by a new Ger
man raider off the eleven ships it
sank in the Atlantic. The raider is
the vessel Seeadler of about $500
tons. 1t is three -masted, square
rigged ship with speed Of twelve
knots. 1t carries a powerful wire-
less plant.
News of the raider was brought
here by the French bark Cambronne,
which had on board the crews OF the
ships sunk by the raider.
When it left Germany its guns were
concealed in the hold, while it was
running the British blockade. The
Seeadler has two gasoline launches
which also were hidden in the hold
during the first part of the voyage.
Gives Each Certificate.
After the Seeadler was on the high
seas its guns were mounted. They
were placed on the forecastle and the
gun ports were masked.
The raiders commander presented
to the captain of each ship he sank
an engraved certificate setting forth
the circumstances under which the
vessel was destroyed. ......
The names Of the American citizens
from the crews of sunken vessels
brought by the Cambronne, so far as
is known, are as follows:
Roy Clark of virginia. from the British
sailing vessel British Yeoman.
John Rondoni OF California. from the
British Yeoman.
Luther Leatters Of Ohio. from the British
sailing vessel Pinmore.
Ernest Ray Gilbert Of Washington, from
the Pinmore.
Manuel Guerrero of Manila (no ship
given).
Life passed pleasantly on board the
raider, the released men report. The
sailors had band which played fire.
quently and enthusiastically, when
the men were off duty. Their orches-
ira was composed of three mando-
Inns, three violins, a flute and base
drum.
The Germans treated their priso-
ners relatively well, this was largely
from the fear that their own capture
was ultimately almost certain. The
raider is slow and they expected to
be overtaken at almost any time.
Their feeling apparently was that il
the prisoners spoke we'll of their
treatment the chances OF the raiders
crew at the hand of possible captors
would be just so much better. Espe-
cial consideration, according to the
sailors, seemed to be given the Amcri-
cans among the captives on the
raider.
Eleven ships were sunk by the
raider before the Cambronne was sent
to Rio Janeiro with the crews.

A couple OF hundred brave and dar-
ing fans giggled derisively in the face
OF pneumonia yesterday afternoon to
give Pa Rourkes' 1917 hopefuls the
visual forward and back when they
made their first appearance of the sea-
son in nine-round tangle with Fred
Bradfords Brandeis pets. The
leaguers escaped with the combat a
to 3 and the bugs were satisfied even
though half frozen.
krug's hirelings sneaked over the
victory because Eddie Hazen, con-
verted from an outfelder into a
hurler, got away to bad start in the
first two spasms. The Rourkes as
sembled two runs in each frame which
gave them enough to capture the Sab
bath pastime by the one-run margin.
Hazen couldn't locate the plate for
Joe Burg. the first man to face him in
the opening stanza, and Burg drew a
pass to first. Marty Krug sacrificed
him to SEQ ind after which Shag
Thompson Strengthened one Of Eddie's
curves into three-base blow into left
center which sent Burg galloping
home. Oak Henning slammed hot
one through the box. Hazen stopped
it enough for George Graham to
scoop it up and throw Henning out,
but Thompson came home on the
play!
Graham Makes Boot.
Hazen smeared Hal Brokaw in the
Stats to open the second stanza. Irelan
sacrificed and Brottem flew out to
Lawler. But Graham made a two
base wild heave after fielding Currie's
grounder. Brokaw scooted home on
the play and Currie romped to sec
ond before Clink Claire could recover
the pill. Krug sailed double into
left scoring Currie.
That ended the counting for the
Rourkes. Hazen refused to permit
any more scoring in the next two
rounds and Morrie Olson, who took
up the hurling job in the fifth, didn't
allow run and only permitted one
hit in the four innings he worked.
, Murphy Currie started the game for
Omaha. He performed in fine fashion.
Claire made a two-bagger to right
which Cy Forsythe almost reached
and he scored on Woodruff's single to
center. This was the only run and
the only hits Currie allowed in three
innings. He whitfield four men.
No Hits Of Merz.
Otto Merz pitched the subsequent
three frames and had the Brandeis
helpless. He retired the semi-pros
three in row in each inning.
Wayne Barham, hurting the last
three innings, found the going rough.
In the seventh he was nicked for two
hits and as many runs. Graham
walked to start the frame and Lawler
singled to right. Synek flew out to
Thompson and Novitsky whitfield, but
Woodruff reefed a triple into left,
scoring Graham and Lawler.
Two hits and walk filled the bases
on Barham in the ninth, but he pulled
out of the hole, but forcing Pete Lyck
to fly out to left.
The Rourkes played nifty fielding
game, making nary an error. Their
hitting was nothing to brag about, but
it's early yet and the play yesterday
was unusually good considering the
early date. Score:
OMAHA BRANDEIS.
