AMERICAN DESTROYERS
SAVE BRITISH SHIP
Passengers Also Declare U-Roas Was
Sunk by Depth Bombs During
Engagement

An Atlantic Port, March 24.-The
saving of British ship by American
destroyers and the probable destruc-
ton of an attacking German suhma-
rine was described by passengers upon
the arrival of the vessel today.
Early risers on March II saw a
periscope about 1000 yards off the
starboard quarter. simultaneously the
conveying American destroyers were
seen to start ahead at full speed.
Presently tremendous explosions fol-
lowed by dropping OF depth bombs by
the destroyers and the U-boat disap-
peared. 1t was believed she must have
been destroyed by the heavy explo-
sions.
The British ship landed 700 wound
ed CanadiaSs, invaded home, at
Halifax on her way here. Among her
other passengers was Commander G..
A. Blakelsy. United States navy. who
was mentioned for the DISTINGUISHED
service order last summer when his
ship, the destroyer O'Brien. sunk a
U-boat.

Patriotism Above Pniitics.

from New jersey. who. while In
Trenton, unselhshly declared for

II am somewhat Of Republican"
said Mr. Baird. but ! am heartily
with The president IN dealing with
all war questions. National euer-

considerations. It is not now a ques-

ana according to latest reports from
the Locust Valley front it no longer ~

way of all good hapjacks that fiaunt
their humble presence athwart the
appetite of William Pearson, another
Locust Falleyite. who is credited with
having successfully applied the bet

jack more or less is gust another

BILLY SUNDAY WAS
BETTER THAN COBB"
Could Play Rings Around Ty, Says
Cap Arson, Booster Of Old.
Timers i'm Baseball

Oid Captain Arson is an incurabis
booster OF the oldtime ball player as
against the star Of the present. An
son has made various statements about
the relative merits Of the players OF
the past and the present which do not
find favor with us. Perhaps his latest
declaration, that Billy Sunday. of tho
old Chicagos. was the superior OF Ty-
rus Cobb as fielder and a base run
ner, is the most fragrant faux pas the
captain yet has made. Arson says
that Billy could run rings around
Cobb.
Il always have contended that the
players Of the present do not put up
IN article of bail that was seen IN the
old National league says Arson. cot
the present day Pitcher Mathewson
was the greatest. Alexander and
johnson are frst-Class performers.
Johnson has as nice a delivery as any
pitcher ! ever watched. lie gets great
speed without apparent effort and
should last for many years.
In the oIden days we had a dozen
stars and there are not over two
now. Collins is probably the great
est with Cobb a close second.
When / picked my aIl-time all
star team | gave all the places to the
oidtimers. and they deserved them.
Before we had professional ball there
was period Of twenty years in which
the players were IN the making. The
very best or the lot were taken for

supply by taking the cream of tho
American association,

run rings around Ty Cobb. Where
are the players OF nowadays who COM

fred Prefer and Biddy McPhee'
Buck Ewing was the best catcher who
ever worked behind the bat. John
!arkson was probably the best OF tho
oidtime pitchers. The Boston club paid
Chicago S2a,000 FOR Mike Kelly and
tidFKson, and they were worth the
money.
Il had TO wreck my old Chicago
team IN much the same way that Con-
nine Mack mas wrecked the present
day Athletics My team vas just az
much ahead OF the other teams OF
my day as Connie Mack's champion
snip Athletics were better than other
teams Of the American and National
leagues few years ago.
