U-BOATS LYING IN WATT.

Their opinion is that the officers
OF the transport knew that tho Ger
mans were making every effort to
get this ship and in general any Of
the big liners that were seized by
the United States. Tho officers there
fore would be careful to avail them
selves Of the protection Of the con
voy. Fortifying this belief is the
fact that the news had got abroad
that the submarines which had been
operating On this side ofNthe Atlantic
had disappeared mysteriously and
were probably lying in wait for in
coming steamers.
The facts given out by the Navy
Department arc, however, so meagcr
that there is only Il choice between
theories. The important considera-
ton is that the ship not only was
not sunk, but that all the evidence
is that she may undergo quick re-
pairing in q foreign port.

RED son VANQUISH CUBS, 3 TO 2
ON BOSTON DIAMOND.
CIV. S. Farnsworth in Tho Richmond
Times DiSDatch)


Boston, September 9.--Thc Tarzan
of the Red Sox, Babe Ruth punched
the American League contenders to
Il to 2 triumph in tho fourth game
of the worlds series at Fcnway Park
today.
But the mighty attack Of the mas
sivc southpaw would have been 4
negative product had not Stuffy Nc
lnnis, the iightingest Irishman that
ever lived, made the most spectacu-
lar and smartest play executed since
worlds series became the fashion.
The Tarzan's swat was Il triple,
with two pals aboard the paths, in
the fourth inning-thc spasm that
has been Boston's lucky one not only
in the present series but in numerous
title games Of tho past.
That swat put the Red SoX in q
commanding lead. While the win
ming marker came later-in the
eighth-this blow was the one decis.
i've knock that spelled disaster for
the Westcrners.
In the eighth the game Cubs made
determined bid and cvened the
count, but in the last half Of the
frame the Red SoX forged right back
to the front by scoring the whipping
tally.

STORY OF THE BLOW THAT
KILLED FATHER.

Today with Whitoman on second
and McInnis OH first and two down,
Ruth came up. Tylev was wild with
three fast breaking curves. He
grooved the next one and a strike
was called.
Tyler sized up tho situation. First
he planned to pass the TarZan and
take more chances on the weak
hitting Scott. Then he changed his
mind. Tfe took look around at his
defense-NIann was playing all right
and so was Paskert.
But Flack was in too close. Tyler
waved him back. Flack did not pay
attention to the command. Once
again Tyler motioned him, but Max
was obstinate. Then Tyler took up
the burden of retiring the mighty
walloper. He grooved one. It never
reached the plate, for Babe reached
out, caught the ball on the end Of
his bat and sent it on line to the
right field fence.
Flack misjudged the power behind
the drive and tore in step or two.
Then he realized his mistake, turned
and tore for the bulwarks. But the
ball sailed over his head, smashing
against the boards, bounded back to
RACK, and two runs had denied the
dish and Babe was resting on third
by the time Max had returned the
ball to the diamond. Although Ruth's
control was not the best, for he was

NEW PRIORITIltS LIST.
Baruch ANNOUNCES -Four Groups OF
Preferred Industries.

(By Albert w. Fox in Washington,
ID. G. Post.)
An important detailed list Of pre-.
fcrrcd industries which win servo as
Il guido Cor deferred classiications
under tho draft and will guido the
future flow of basic industrial cle-
mcnts into industries most essential
for tho war, was made public yester
day by the war industries board.
The essential industries arc
grouped in tho order OF their i'm
portanco into four classes. Chair
man Bernard w. Baruch, OF the war
industries board, and Edwin B. Par
kcr, prioritics commissioner, have
scheduled tho industries in groups
according to the relative Importance
they bear towards helping win the
war. Great care and much time and
study have been taken in making up
the groups.
WAR WORK PLANTS IN GLASS I.
In Glass | are plants upon which
the military forces directly depend
for the prosecution Of military opcr-
ations, and the disturbance of these
plants is unlikely at any time, for
upon their continuance depends the
work at the battle front. Glasses II
Ill and w are all regarded as es-
sential, but in the event of the nation
later being pressed to exert it's max
imnm man power under great strain,
Glass " would be invaded in adj
vance OF Glass III.
Men who form necessary part Of
the preferred industries arc expected
either to claim deferred classification
or have their employers claim it for
them. 1t is planned to have a repre-
sentative Of the provost marshal
generals Office, one from the war
industries board and one from the
war labor board take care Of the
governments interest on the district
board.
EMPLOYERS TO FURNISH LISTS.
Employers in the preferred indus
tries probably will be asked to make
out lists OF men regarded by them
as essential in the upkeep of the
industry and to forward the lists Of
these government representatives
The lists, when approved will be sent
to the local boards and will serve as
a guide in classifying registrants ON
ploycd in these industries.
The man employed in a preferred
industry may make his claim for de
ferred classification on the ground
that he is necessary part Of pre-
ferred industry and have this claim
supported by an affidavit from his
employer. The list forwarded by
the government representatives will
serve them to check up on the claims
for deferred classification made by
the individuals and simplify the work
OF tho boards in classifying the men.

BREAKS SACRIFICE PLAY TIC
SMITIIERG ENS.

Mitchell ordered Workman to try
once more fer Il martyr lick, but Nc
Inns hr0ko the play 80 TmitnerecnS.
This time Workman dropped the bal
in front Of the plate over on the frs !
base foul line. But Stuffy was right
there again. He picked the ball up
In II flash and his throw headed
Merklo off at third by ten yards.
That was tho play that submarined
an attack that most surely would
have at least tied tho pastimc for
the Cubs. True, the Wcsterners still
had two mon on tho paths, first and
second being occupied. but it broke
their spirit, and the effort Of Pinch
Pnnchcr Barber was Il double play
that officially settled tho game in
favor OF the American Lcaguers.
Nearly $4,000 fans turned out to
sec this the first game of the Series
in Boston. After n twcnty-fouf hour
rain tho skies cleared and it was an
ideal day. Among tho most inter
ested spectators were sixty wounded
soldiers and sailors who had seen
service overseas. They were tho
guests Of the Red Cross.
The game started battle OF left
handcrs-Ruth agains! Tylcr. Neither
lasted out the nine innings in tho
box. While Ruth really was knocked
from the hillock, Tyler retired in
favor Of pinch-hitter in the eighth.
Tyler deserved to win the game.
During the seven innings he worked
he allowed but three hits, and Ruth's
triple might never have been. This
blow brought back sad memories to
the Now York fans who, in the fam
Gus !ay.off game with the Cubs in
1908 saw Cy Seymour disregard
Matty's instruction to play back for
Joe Tinker.
Three times Matty motioncu Sey-
mcur to play deeper, but Cy refused
to move step. Then came Tinker's
"bust" that sailed over Cy's head for
a triple, a hit that cost McGraw's
men the opportunity to participate in

large armed guard, probably 1926, to
save her under any and all circum-
stances. She, therefore, according to
this assumption, distanced the con-
voy and ran into the submarine
rather than that the submarine fol
lowed her. That she went ahead of
the convoy is not, however, believed
by conservative officers.

35 DEAD ON THE TORPEDOED
MI. VERNON.
Senator Lewis n Iasscngcr-ShiD
Able TO Make Port Under
Own Steam.

Thirty-nvo persons, principally
members of the iireroom crew OF the
Mount Vernon, formerly the German
liner KronprinZessin Cccille, woro
killed when the ship was struck by
n. torpedo last Thursday 200 miles
off the French coast, it was an
nouncod yesterday by the Navy De
partmcnt.
The official annOunceme states
that Senator James Hamilton Lewis,
OF Illinois, was one Of the passengers
and is among those reported safely
landed. Senator Lewis was return
ing from II trip made abroad on q
special mission.
The Mount Vernon is one Of the
great German ships taken over by the
United States and has been used as q
transport. She was on her return to
the United States when struck. The
estimate of her carrying capacity as
a troop ship places it as near that
of the old Vaterland.
NEWS OF FATALITIES SURPRISE
The news that so many Of the
ships complement had been killed
was great surprise to the navy Off
Gals as the first reports indicated
that there were no casualties. The
bellies that there were no fatalities,
however, was based principally on
the fact that the Mount Vernon was
able to put back into port under her
own steam and at q 14knot clip,
which was an indication that she had
not been hit III a vital part so far as
her motive power was concerned
The official dispatch, however states:
1.-THE torpedo struck the ship on
tho starboard side, flooding No. 4
fireroom, but the extent Of the dam
age is not stated"
Naval experts say that even grant
ing that she was hit hard at the
place stated, being a great vessel,
she had. sufficient flotation left and
engines fcrward that could account
for her evident cash away from the
submarine.
WILL BE QUICKLY REPAIRED.
There is nothing, however, from
Official sources to show whether she
was pursued and shelled or whether
convoy came to the rescue and drove
off the enemy.
1t Is believed Notwithstanding the
fact that the Navy Department does
not give the extent OF the damage
that the Mount Vernon wounds are
not so serious as to prevent her from
again taking her place at an early
date with the transport feet.
There Is only. theory to explain
how the submarine could have ap.
preached the Mount Vernon close
enough to have launched the torpedo

inning by drawing a pass. The time.
~ swatting Hendrix batted for Tyler
For some unknown reason, the
crowd booed him at he walked to the
plate. a few Kisses were heard from
the press box; but there was reason
for that. Claude had massaged the
scribes freely in a crap game en-
route here from Chicago.
Ruth grooycd tho first ball, and
Hendrix kissed it for ~ Steaming one
base knock to center. This uneX-
pccted and 'discourteous act on tho
part OF brother finger upset Tar
zan and he unbelted Il perfectly good
wild pitch with Black up. The ball
hit in front of the plato and caroened
of Sam Agnew's protector down the
third base line to THOMAS. OF
course, Killifer went 10 third and
Hendrix to the keystone.
With the count two and one, Flac]1
stabbed hot grasscr down tho first
base path. McInnis was playing in
and he waited for Flack to run into
Il death, at tko-ahme time holding
the runners on ths&f respective bags.
NlcCabc was hustled out to rescue a
run for Hendrix. Hollocher was
thrown out by Shean, but Killifer
cashed and McCabc moved over to
third on the play.
Major Lcsmann took a strike and
then caught one that suited him and

Boston's winning run was produced
in the eighth. Our old friend Shut
lin Phil Douglas was decorating the
mound at the time. The slow NOV
ing Southefner had taken up where
| Tyler had left off when he retired
in favor OF Pinch.Hitter Hendrix.
SAID THE BALL HAD BEEN WE'LL
MOISTENED.
SchanE, batting for Agnew, singled
over second. He took second on a
passed ball. Hooper dropped a
pcachy sacrifice tap in front of the
plate, but Douglas, after picking up
the pilN, threw to the stand instead
OF TO Mcrkle. Phil claimed after
, the game that he had clutched the
ball on a section that had been we'll
moistcned for Il splitter. On this
crazy chuck Schang toddlod right
caross the plate with the tally that
spelled victory for the Red Sox.
Besides being responsible for
! RUFUS triple and the two ITALICS that
Went with it, Flack damned up two
Cub attacks that might have turned
out profitable.
In the first inning he greeted Ruth
: with Il single, only TO be picked off
( first when Agnew made a snappy
chuck to McInnis. Then to show
tho public that there was no trick
about it, he allowed Ruth to kill him

third.
