AN IRISH PORT, October T.
American soldiers to the number OF
:;6t or 366 persisted when the British
armed mercantile cruiser Otranto and
the transport kashmir collided i'll the
North channel between Scotland and
ireland last Sunday.
Three hundred American soldiers,
80 French sailors and 266 members
of the crew of the Otranto have been
landed at a port in northern Ireland.
Sixteen other survivors have been
piekd up at Islay.
More than 200 bodies had been re
covered this morning and many of
them have been buried.
Otranto a Total Wreck.
Tho Otranto is Il total wreck on the
JsIsnd OF Islay. The kashmir landed
its troops at Il Scottish port without
loss of life.
The troopships collided while a
heavy storm was raging, and the
Otranto, with gaping hole i'll her
side, then drifted helplessly toward
the rocky coast.
a number of the troops on board
were from the interior of the United
States and were without experience
at sea. They had preferred to re-
main on the bigger ship rather than
risk jumping to the small destroyer
Nounsey. which gallantly came to the
rescue. and they seemed to be cheered
by the sight of land.
The hopes of the men that they
would be able to make Il safe land
ing. however. were dispel!ed by the
Otrantos captain, when he shouted from
the bridge:
We'll, boys, we will have to swim
for it,!
About that time the troopship slid
with hardly a jar onto shelving
rock, which. as wave receded, bit
its teeth into the ships timber and
held here in a viSelike grip. After
that the tragedy moved quickly to
its climax.

PUBLIC WANTS BASEBALL.
Attendance Figures Prove National
 Gamc Is still Popular.

If the "worll or fight order puts baseball out of commission the num- Der of persons who will he deprived of a healthy and harmless amuse- mcnt in sitting in on the games that take place iu the various leagues throughout the country will probably number up into the millions A good example of how much the public Wantsi baseball may be estimated from the fact that more than 100000 pco- pIc saw the major league games last Saturday alone. The attendance at the Polo Grounds was 22.000. in Boston if was 12,OOO and Philadelphia, and Washington drew the same. Twenty thousand saw the game in Chicago, while about 3O,O00 combined in sec ing the games in Pittsburg, ClnCln- natl and St. Louis. Another 100000 is estimated to have seen the minors play which totals up to about 2OO,- 900 for one day.
 And not only will the great Amer ican public be the losers, but Uncle sam himself gets quite q tidy sum on the war tax.

BASEBAIL'S FATE.
To Be Decided in Case of Roger
 uornsby, Cards Star ShortStop.

The calling of Roger Hornsby. shortstop of tho St. Louis National league team, to engage in an "essen- tial oCCupatlon," marks the first big league player to receive the work or fight" notice under the ruling of Provost Marshal General Crowder, and on the decision from his appeal seems to rest tho future of league baseball during the remaining period of the war. There arc now 50 play CTS in the two big leagues who would be affected by an adverse decision. which Is probably enough, if they were forced to seek other means of employment. to make the magnates shut up shop. The minors, too, would be affected, and probably more than the majors, for in the smaller circuits clubs are more apt to be composed of younger players.
 IIornsby has been the mainstay of the Cardinals almost since his advent into Class A baseball and his value may best be estimated by the fact that the Chicago Cubs were unable to purchase him for the sum of $75,- 000 which they offered last season. This gave Hornsby a chance to make demands on the St. Louis club own CTS, which he did, demanding q sal ary Of $1O,OO0 to play this season. He was finally signed, however, for about $500.
 HOrnsby's appeal, which will he carried to President Wilson, if ne- ceSSary, will be based on the fact that he is the sole support of his mother. and that his transfer to some other line would incur hardShlpS.

Chicago, July 1O.-President Ban Johnson of the American league, re- plying to the statement of John K. Tener, president of the National league, that he would have no fur ther dealings with the National Base ball Commission in any cases in which the American league is a party said tonight that he feared no break in the relations with the National league, as he understood President Tener would shortly resign.
 'The contemplated resignation of President Tener from the presidency of the National league ocCasioned me no surprise" said President Johnson. From advices l have received from several sources, the course he has taken is absolutely necessary for the welfare of baseball in view of the fact that he devoted so little attention to the affairs of the game.
 'Morally and technically, Manager Mack of the Philadelphia club can be justified in the position he has taken in the Perry case"
 'I presume the parent body will find no difficulty in baly filling the position Governor Tener has finally determined to vacate."

RAY FISHER STILL GOOD.
Ex-Ianllcc Shows Fine Form at New
 Haven.


 The fact that the baseball fans who attended the Colonials-W Sox game at the Lighthouse Sunday sat in on genuine treat is brought out by the following, which appeared in the New York Evening sun, yes terday:
 Kay Fisher, formerly connected with the Yankees, and now engaged as physical instructor of soldiers at Fort Slocum, had an opportunity to try out his wing against major league hittcrs on Sunday last that proved that it is as good as ever. Fisher pitched for the Coloniuls of New Ha- ven in an exhibition game against the Chicago White SoX, and held the champions down with very few hits. Clarence Rowland, manager of the White SoX, said today that Fisher never showed more skill in a Yankee uniform than he showed against the White Sox at New Haven Sunday. It is possible that Fisher may pitch Oc- rasionally for Iluggins' team when he can get away for an afternoon, as lie is able to get to the Polo Grounds in a very short time.

LOSS IN TRENCHES
Mortality Less Than in Any of
the Previous Wars.
Physician Asserts That Disease Is So
Thoroughly Eliminated That
Sick Man 10 4 Curiosity.

Readers with relatives and friends
ut the front should get considerable
comfort from a study of the mortality
statistics of the armies recently put
forward by a well-known physician.
London Tit-Blts states. While his fig
ures are not so favorable as those
given out from Paris indicating that
captured, missing and disadvantages
gate but 3 per cent per annum of the
effective forces engaged, they are new
ertheless distinctly encouraging.
He finds that about sixty men per
1000 are being killed and $50 wound
ed and that very large proportion of
the latter return to the trenches. This,
naturally, is not to be compared with
the normal death rate In time of peace
of men of military age, which is but
eight per 1000; but 1t is vast i'm
proyement upon the showing Of any
previous war.
For one thing, disease has been so
thoroughly eliminated that sick man
is a curiosity. The soldier at the front
IS certainly less liable to attack than
If he were at home. Everything he
eats and drinks and wears, almost
everything he touches. is subject to
the finest medical supervision Of which
science is capable, and If any particu-
Iarly persistent bacillus were to get
Into his system In spite Of all precau-
tons, it would find him in such su-
perb condition that Its work would be
futile. The high commands have thor
oughly learned the lesson that 1t does
not pay to train man to be soldier
and then lose him from a cause that
is in the least degree preventable.
By this same token, experience, both |
In the protection of the soldier and |
In the care Of the wounded, is stead. |

lily reducing the death rate as the war
progresses. Not only are new tactics
constantly being developed which re-
suit In loss exposure of the individual
soldier, but he is constantly being
better equipped with defensive ap-
paratus to minimize the effects of bull
let or shrapnel or gas attack. Finally,
from many classes of wounds which
would have spelled probable death In
