COMIsKEY WORKED HARD

The paucity of scalpers tickets was attributed to the energy which Owner Comiskey displayed in seeking to cir cumvent the practice.
 The lines at four ticket offices at the ball park began forming at ' o'clock this morning and the procession con- tinued until all of the 15,000 reserved seat tickets had been given out.
 In the matter of betting, the locals talked loudly at to 5 on the Comiskey team, and New York adherents talked the same odds as to their men, but what actual betting could be located was at even money on the result. There were many freak bets, involving small sums, ranging from 10 to l that neither club would take four straight, to to 1 that Collins would outbat Herzog.

Berlin, Friday, March 16, (By Wire
less to Sayville)-Merchant ships of
an aggregate gross tonnage of $751;
600 were destroyed in February as a
result of war measures of the Central
Powers, the admiralty announced to-
day. The statement follows:
"In February 1868 merchant ships of
an aggregate gross tonnage of 7S1, 500
were lost by the war measures of the
Central Powers. Among them were
292 hostile ships with an aggregate
gross tonnage of $4,000 and rs neu-
trail ships Of an aggregate gross ton
mage of 1S7,500. Among the neutral
ships 81 were sunk by submarines,
which is 1876 per cent of the total in
February as compared with rs per-
cent, the average Of neutral losses in
the last four months"
There Is wide disparity between
the official German figures Of the de-
struction of shipping In February, the
first month Of unrestricted submarine
warfare. and the figures given out in
England. II was said authoritatively
In London on March 8, that In Febru-

DANIELS CONFERS WITH EDITORS

Washington, March 17-After a
conference today between Secretary
Daniels and representatives of the
leading press associations, the Gov
eminent began preparation Of definite
regulations to guide the press in vol
untary suppression of information
which might be of value to an enemy.
The question Of armed American mer-
chant craft was discussed particular
ly, but the regulations will be broad
enough to cover any naval or military
movements the Government deems it
advisable to keep secret.
The press associations have assured
Secretary Daniels of their desire to CO.
operate, and in the absence of author
ity for imposing legal censorship
will be bound by the Governments re-
quests. Before the regulations are ap-
plONCu thCy Will NC ouuLiillcu uOth W
the associations and to managing edi-
tors of newspapers for discussion and
suggestion.
Mr.. Daniels took occasion today to
inform the press generally that his
recent request that movements OF
American merchant ships be withheld
from publication did not mean that ar
rivals of such ships in American or
European ports should not be report
ed.
Such arrivals" the Secretary said
could not easily afford any informa-
tion that might jeopardize life, and
such news would be of the deepest in
terest to the public and should be
published"
