Orleans, Mass, July Can enemy
submarine attacked tow off the east
ernmost point of Cape Cod Sunday,
sank three barges, set a fourth and
their tug on fire and dropped four shells
on the mainland.
The action lasted an hour and was
unchallenged, except for two hydro
planes from the Chatham aviation sta
ton, which circled over the U-boat,
causing her to submerge for only a
moment, to reappear and resume firing.
The crews of the tow, numbering
forty one, and including three women
and five children. escaped amid shell
fire in lifeboats. Several were wound
ed, but only one seriously.
The latter was John Botovitch, an
Austrian. Of the crew Of the tug. His
right. arm near the shoulder was torn
away by fragment of shell. The
minor injuries of the others were from
| shell splinters.
The harees were in tow Of the tug
! Perth Amboy, owned by the Lehigh
| Valley Railroad, and were bound from
| Gloucester for New York. One was
loaded with stone, but the others were
| light, being On their return trip after
bringing coal to New England.
The attack was without warning and
only the poor craftsmanship Of the
| German g1Inners permitted the escape
of the crews.
The one-sided fight took place three
miles south of the Orleans coast guard
station, which Is located midway be-
tween Chatham, at the elbow, and
Highland light, at the extreme tip OF
the cape.

ISOLATION, the first baseball league to

of War Bakers ruling that baseball
was nonessential industry and the
players would have 10 work or fight
! has decided 70 quit fer the duration CT
the war.
This action was taken at special
meeting here yesterday called by Presi-
dent Thomas !. Hickey.
President Hickey gave the club own
ers his views and said it was his de-
sire that the league should Cooperate

the approval of those present and the
following resolution was adopted unan-
imously:

tary of War Baker, the 1918 playing

HUN RAIDER ATTACKS U.S.. COAST

which the flashes of the guns and the
outline of the U-boat were plainly
visible.
Possible danger to the onlookers was
not thought Of until shell whzzed
over their heads and splashed in a
pond a mile inland. Three other shells
buried themselves in the sands OF the
beach.
The survivors of the tow, with the
exception of two injured. were taken
to the Orleans coast guard station,
communication with which by tele-
phone, under naval regulations, was not
permitted.
No information could be obtained
from official sources on the cape. Bo-
tovitch and another man from the
barges, both of whose arms had been
injured. were taken to the private hos
pital of DR.. James McHugh. Later
Botovitch was taken to a hospital in
Boston.
Survivors Lose Clothes.
The survivors lost all their personal
effects, and some Of them who were
having their turn in their hunks when
the U-boat appeared came ashore in
their night clothing.
The tug with her four barges in line
| was putting along ieisurely just off the
shoals, two miles from shore. at IL a.
m. when the U-boat, OF an estimated
| length of 400 feet, rose suddenly one
mile seward and trained her guns on
! the two.
/ A moment later and without warn
ing to the crew shell struck the
second barge amidships. The empty
craft doubled up and sank SO quickly
the crew barely had time to lower their
boat. Capt. J. II. Tapley of the tug
sounded his whistle as soon az the u
! boat was sighted and ordered the

barges abandoned.
The first shot was followed by rain
of shells that dropped on and all about
the Perth Amboy and her barges. A
lucky shot next sank the last barge in
the tow. Meanwhile hits on che tug had
set her afire, but she stood by her
barges to the finish.
Barge Proves Hard Mark.
The third barge in the line, the
smallest of all, proved q hard mark
and the German gunners occupied half
an hour in disposing of her.
BY this time the firing had alarmed
the whole cape and calls for assistance
we're sent broadcast. No American
warship, however, appeared to be in
! the vicinity and the exhibition of Ger
man gunnery went on methodicaliy.
Then two hydrop1anes rose from the
station at Chatham and flying low
darted toward the enemy as tho to at
| tack. 1t could not be seen that they
| dropped any bombs but the Germans
evidently expected an attack from the
air for they stopped firing and elevated
their guns against the hydroplanes.
They did not fire, however. and
moment later the Uboat submerged.
The planes circled about where the
enemy was last seen and then turned
their noses toward their station.
Scarcely had they reached shore when
the U-boat reappeared and resumed
her attack on the tug and the one light
barge remaining afioat
| The tug and this barge were in
| flames and were held where they were
by the sunken barges.
| When the firing began the crews lost
no time in abandoning the tow Each
of the four barges had one small boat
intended to carry only five persons and
] all the craft were greatly. overloaded.

giles might arise that would complicate

Hermann said it was impossible for

it was imperative their league make

agreed to meet in Pittsburgh tomor-
