ENDURANCE WINS
FOR SANDUSKY

The Sandusky five through its en-
durance was able to edge out the Mos
COW five after Saturday morning
neck to neck battle by a 1920 score.
The work Of both teams was evenly
matched, if anything the Moscow
quintet had the edge on the Sandusky
five in superior passing but were not
able to hold up its end of the game
after the first half.
l.. Marlowe, forward Of the San
dusky quintet. made twelve of the %
points, four field goals and four free
throws. He didn't miss a free throw.
For Moscow, c. Gosnell and P. Cos
nell were the chief scorers making
eight and ten points respectively.
The first half started speedily, the
Moscow five gaining the edge on the
|. Sandusky basket shooters and con-
trolling the situation, ending the half
by a IA to 10 count in favor of
Moscow.
In the second half the Sandusky
lads got together and commenced to
work out some plays. Marlowe Of the
Sandusky five started the scoring in
this half by a spectacular shot over
his shoulder from the corner of the
floor scoring two points. The scoring
from then on became intermittent,
Moscow still holding a two points
lead.
Marlowe finally made a free throw
which brought the score to within
one point of tie score.
Finally with the score 1920, tech
nical foul called on 6. Gosnell gave
Marlowe of Sandusky chance to tie
the score, which he did. After few
minutes of close playing he again came
in for another shot which decided the
winner, eliminating the plucky Mos
COW five.

BATTLE With DEATH
ONLY TWO SURVIVE TO TELL OF
EXPERIENCES IN SUNKEN
GERMAN U-BOAT.

London, June "Details of the
destruction of one of the largest sub
marines are given in a dispatch from
a neutral correspondent. This sub
marine was one of the last to leave
~Zeebrugge before the entrance to the
harbor was blocked by British forces.
The U-bot struck a mine and out
of the crew of 40 only two survived
ON reaching the surface after a strug-
gle with death for an hour and a half
20 fathoms below the surface. Some
of the crew committed suicide. hav-
ing lost all hope of leaving the boat
alive.
The only chance of escaping was
to force open the coming tower and
the forward matches and trust to the
compression of air in one part of the
vessel to force each man like a tor
pedo to the surface. The air pres
sure in the submarine had become so
high most of the crew could not keep
their mouths closed.
The compressed air shot them to
the surface and hardly had they
reached the sea level when the air
pressure burst their lungs and about
20 of them sank like stones. The
survivors described the yells of the
men, when the end came, as the most
horrible noise they had ever heard
The attention of a British trawler
was attracted and 1t fastened to the
rescue. The condition of the surviv.
ors showed that their experiences in
the submarine had been of a dread.

An American patrol crossed the riv

Germans. After an exchange of shots,
the Americans ~recrossed the river

A heavy rain began falling. There
also has been an increase In the ar
tillery aerial activity along the Marine
front, but the infantry has not been
engaged in the last twenty-four hours
The enemy artillery fire in the Sec
ton east of Chateau Thierry has
been increasing for some time and the
American fire has increased proper
tionately. The Germans started to
construct a foot bridge across the
Marine at this point, but were dis
covered and abandoned the attempt
even before the American machine
gunners on the bank could get into
action.
