TRANSPORT SUNK
$500 American Soldiers Saved from
Torpedoed Vessel-U-Boat That Did
it Destroyed.

LONDON. Tuesday, Sept. l0.-A troop
ship with $500 American soldiers on
board has been torpedoed. All hands
were saved. The troop-ship was beached.
The transfer of the American soldiers
from the stricken vessel to escorting
British and American torpedo boat de-
stroyers was quickly made without in
jury to anyone. They all had escaped
injury when the torpedo exploded and
were still on their way to a British port.
There was no sign of panic on board
and the admirable behavior of the men
was especially gratifying to the officers.
Many of the troops came from Chicago
and Cleveland and large percentage of
them were factory hands of foreign ex-
traction. Their behavior proved that
they had assimilated the true spirit of
the American soldier. The troop-ship
was a member of large convoy ap-
preaching the English coast. The vessel
was torpcdoed 200 miles from shore at 3
O'Clock on Friday afternoon. In order
to save time instead of launching the
boats the men clambered down ropes to
destroyers which swarmed around the
stricken vessel and came close alongside
The submarine was destroyed by convoy
ing destroyers.
The troopship torpedoed by a Ger
man submarine on the English coast last
Friday is the third vessel carrying
American soldiers to the war zone to be
attacked with any degree of success by
U-boats. The other two were the An.
chor line steamship Brittania, under
| charter to the Cunard line and the Pc
ninsnlar & Oriental liner. Moldayia.

TO START ON TINE
Game Between Boston and Chicago To-
day Not to Be Delayed by
Disagreement

BOSTON, Sept. 11.-Assurances that
a proper division of the world series
receipts would be made prevented n
today of the delay before
the game. The Boston players, appar-
emily none the worse for the defeat of
yesterday. expressed their determination
to win that the series might conclude
today. The Cubs, however, only one
game behind their American league riv
ais, promised even a sitter game today
for the purpose of tying the series and
long chance for victory tomorrow.
Preceding practice indicated that to-
day $ game was the real battle royal.
Manager Barrows of Boston was unde-
cided but kept Bush and Mays warming
up in the nbullpen' before the game.
Manager Mitchell of the Chicago team
intimated a Highlander, probably
meaning Hendrix but the fans looked
for Tyler. The weather was favorable.
