GERMANS HOLD 81
AMERICAN HOSTAGES
Geneva Red Cross Forwards
List to Warrington.

GENEVA. May 26.-The Associated
Press is informed that the Geneva Red
Cross has received thus far the names of
rinety-seven American prisoners in Ger
many. The list has been forwarded to
Washington. The majority of the Amer
lean prisoners are sailors from captured
ships who were taken before the deciara-
ton Of a state OF war between the United
states and Germany. and therefore, Il Is
claimed. should. according to interna-
tional law. be released.
Nevertheless Germany Is retaining
them as hostages. The American pris-
oners are interned In two camps and are
treated under the same severe regime as
are British prisoners. The British pris-
oners receive parcels of food from home,
but the Americans are suffering from
hunger and from lack Of necessities. II
is claimed they are treated badly and
are continually told that the war would
have ended long ago IL It were not for
America.
The Swiss newspaper Democrat says |,
learns from an official source that In the
recent negotiations between Washington
and Berne the United States Government,
requested Switzerland to make a strone
protest to the German Government,
against the sinking by German subma.
rines OF American ships with cargoe.
destined for Switzerland. citing an In
stance which occurred recently. The
United States Government is said by tn,
Democrat to have given notice tina
otherwise Switzerland must suffer the
consequences of increased freight rate,
and decrease in supplies from Amer
| lea.
Many Swiss newspapers express re
grets that at this critical moment TO
neutral countries Switzerland is not ade
Quately represented at Washington ow
ing to the recall OF her Minister, DR.
Paul Ritter.

Builders Complain.

Complaints OF prospective builders of
ships for the Government that the adop-
ton OF lump sum contracts In lieu of the
cost plus percentage basis would handi-
cap them seriously, raise prices of ma
terials and perhaps discourage many of
the builders from embarking on the
project were described as without merit
by Denman. He said prices would not
rise as arrangements had been made
whereby steel would be furnished at an
even rate to all the steel ship builders.
The board, he added, had obtained COM
mitments on enough lumber on the
Pacific coast to supply any OF the
builders there who were unable to get
material at a low price. In the East
he said there was enough lumber ia

Nationals Drop Doubleeader Wlndy City ruxtons
Nationals Lose Double
Bill to Chicago Sox

Chicago, ILL.,, July 17-Pennant hopes,
confidence, enthusiasm and loyalty all
were restored to Chicago's baseball
fans today, when the White sox won
two corking games of ball from Wash
ington while the Boston Red Sox lost
to st. Louis.
The result permitted the Sox to leap
and grasp firmly to first place In the
flag race. The scores were to O., and
8 to 9, the second combat required II
innings before Walter johnson could
be downed. Not this season have the
Southsiders displayed more class than
they did at this long matinee. They
looked and acted like champions from
start to finish.
There was suberb fielding, superlative
pitching timely, and driving base hits,
and general all round efficiency Eddie
Cicotte was invincible in the first
game, letting the Nationals down with
one hit for the nine rounds, and never
once being in distress. The lone blow
was delivered by Morgan in the sec
end inning. The only other WASH
ington player to reach first base was
Rice, who drew a walk in the sew
enth.
Neither of the two succeeded in get
ting to second. The pitching of CT
cote was enough of a feature for
one afternoon for 1t was about the
most artistic bit of baseballing from
the slab, seen at the Southside in
years. However, there were other
features and the folks who went out
and saw both combats for the price
OF one ticket, got a bargain such as
they may never get again.
The second game was slab duel be-
tween the great Waiter johnson and
our Red Faber, the boy from Cas-
cade. As great as Walter is, he was
surpassed this time by Red and 1t
would not have been necessary for
Faber to toll until the eleventh eX-
cept for one slip in the Sox defense,
the only break all afternoon, and it let
Washington tie the count in the ninth.
Risberg was the guilty one when
he made a wide peg TO the plate after
gathering up a grounder and trying
to kill off a runner coming in from
third.
But the finishing blow in the
eleventh was the real feature of the
afternoon, and this time Eddie Col
Inns was the hero. However. Buck"
too. One was out and Walter looked
as II he might continue to set the Sox
batters down until darkness put a
stop to the fighting.
But one of Waters curves in pitch
ing to Weaver bent down and cracked

ankle 1t was a painful affair and put
Buck" in the dirt for a couple of
minutes. Finally he limped to first
and became convinced he wasn't mt
to run, so. after more delibcration,
he was excused for the day and John
Collins was called from the bench to
do the To- work. John got his chance,
too. in a jiffy. because Eddie Collins
hooked one of Walters fast ones and
drove II viciously far out over Rice's
head in right field. The ball hit the
wall on the first bound and by that
time John Collins was making gallant

Use of his legs. He had rounded sec
ond and was going for third. He
never hesitated at third but kept
going and finished with a slide just
ahead of the ball which had been fran

of flowers which was presented to
Evers on Monday by admiring fans
alOnside of Bits cot
The gift took the breath out of

Evers had seen Hinchman since the

NOTES OF THE GAMES.

Another double-headcr tomorrow
will wind up the series with Washing
ton. The Sox now lead Boston by two
and one-half games.
They seem to be switching umpires
prOmiscuously these days.
After one day of Connolly and Mo-
riarty along came O'Laughlin and Di-
neen for today.
Weaver had a bad bruise on his foot
from being hit by one of johnson )
curves, but Trainer Buckner expects
to have il rubbed down so that
Buck" will be on the job tomorrow.
When Cicotte retired the last man
in the ninth of the first game the
crowd gave him so much applause
that he had to don his cap.
From the fifth inning to the
eleventh the Sox were not able to
make a dent in the curves of john
