aren't getting into mischief when they
are running their legs off stealing
bases.
Nor will they spend so much time
loafing on the street corners and swap
ping cheap gossip.
A good ball team is n business as
set. People like to live in a place
where there is interest on athletic
sport. They come in from miles
around TO see a good game. So main
tanning a good local ball team IS a
sign of community life and movement.
The game should be well patronized
and backed up here in Elko. We have
plenty of good material.

BASEBALL AS A
COM M UNITY ASSET

There are some unimaginative PEG.
pie who regard baseball as a mere d.
version for idle minds. They can not
see how 1t serves any public cause.
Yet stop to think about il a mo-
ment. When you organize good 10.
cal ball team, you get people TO work
ing for something other than a sell
fish purpose. They are all interested
In putting over one proposition. They
are concerned to see that their town
takes a high position in athletic com.
petition, They play not so much to
beat Smith. Jones and Robinson of
the other team, as to uphold the hon
or OF their own home town. That Is
community spirit. A fellow who has
worked on that idea ought to be one
who could be interested in other
propositions to benefit the home
town.
When athletic sports are handled
in clean way, they have an inrlu-
ence in developing character. If you
put a team or n league in charge Of n
strong and fair minded governing
body, any player with a tendency to-
ward roughhouse or tricky play can
be kept where he belongs. Ball play,
ing on basis of fair play and gentle
manly conduct is an education in II.
self and wonderful training in self
control.
A home ball team promotes all 10.
cal interests. II furnishes wholesome
sport to active young fellows. They

CONTRADICT CInqSTY REPORT

Capt. r. II. Christy, commander OF
the San Diego, sent III Il report in
which he expressed the view that n
submarine sank the vessel. Other re-
ports tended to contradict this idea
and during yesterday forenoon tho
Navy Department would make no
statement as to its convictions. Later
, in the day, however, the fact that the
German mines had been encountered
impressed the officials with the idea
that another of these was responsible
for the sinking. The mino theory is
still not conclusive, but special doubt
was cast On the submarine theory as
no torpedo wake was seen; no con-
vincing evidence was presented that
n periscope was seen; and no suDma-
| rine appeared, though it could have
baggcd several unarmed rescue ships
sanding by for several hours.

FIRST SHOT STRIKES BARGE
AMIDSlIIpS

The tug Perth Amh0y with her four
bargcs in line was putting aloNg loiS
urcly just off the shoals. two miles
from shore at II o'clock this morning
when the U-hoat OF AZ estimated
length of 400 feet. rose suddenly one
mile scaward and trained her guns
on the tow. a moment later and
without warning to the crew, Il shell
struck the second barge amidships.
The empty craft doubled up and
sank so quick that her crew barely
had time to lower thCir small boat.
Captain j. IT. Taplcy, of the tug, had
sounded his whistle as soon rs the
U-hoat was sighted ami ordered the
bargcs abandoned. The first shot was
followed by rain Of shells that
dropped on and all about the Perth
Amboy and her hargcs. a lucky shot
next sank the last barge. Meanwhile
hits on the tug had set no. atirc, but
she stood by her bargcs to the finish.
The third barge in the line, the small
est Of all, proved Il hard mark and the
in disposing OF her.
BY this time the firing lad alarmed
tho whole cape and cries for assist
nnce were sent broadcast. No Amcri-
can warships, however, appeared to be
in the vicinity, and the exhibition OF
German gunnery went on Methodi
cally. Then two hydrOplal!es rose
from the station at Chatham, and fly
ing low darted toward the enemy as
though to attack. 1t conld not be
seen that they dropped any bombs but
the Germans evidently anticipated an
attack from the air, for they stopped
firing and elevated their guns against
tho hydroplancs. They did not fire,
however, and moment later sub
merged.

EXPLOSION A SMILE ONE

The explosion was a single one,
and occurred aft OF the engine room
bulkheads. The department heard
various rnmors from unofficial SQUIRE
es during the day that submarines
had been sighted of the coast, but
said that no officials had sent infor-
nation tending to confirm such
stories. One rumor afloat was that
submarines had been sighted off San
dy Hook. 1t was admitted, how
ever. that ii was possible that Il new
minclying U-boat had been opcrat-
ing recently off the coast, supple.
mcnting the work of the vessel which
is known to have laid mines off the
Delaware Capcs several weeks ago
On the other hand, it was said to b.,
equally possible that the present
group of mines were distributed on
that occasion.
ADMIRAL PALMER'S STATEMENT
The conduct OF officers and men
wren the San Diego sank was insDir-
ing. me captain and his executive
were the last to go overheard, and
they were chcered by survivors as
'hcy dld so. Then, as the flag was

acting secretary of navy, made this
statement yesterday on the sinking:
Fuller particulars received regard
ing the sinking OF the u. s. S. San

place on the port side just aft OF the

The feed tank and circulating pumD
were blown in, and tho port engine

PLANES CIRCLE ABOUT FRIGHT
ENING THE RAIDERS

The planes circlcd about where the
enemy was last seen and then turned
their moses toward their station.
Scarcely had they reached shore when
the U-hoat rcappcared and resumed
her attack on tho tug and the one light
barge remaining afloat. Both the tug
and the barge We're in flames and were
held where they were by the sunkcn
barge, one OF which with load of
stone, made an effective anchor.
When the firing began the crows
lost no time in abandoning the tow.
Each of the four barges had one small
boat, intended to carry only five per
sons, and all the craft were greatly
overloaded. In addition the occupants
were exposed to constant danger from
shell fire.
Several merchant craft were in the
vicinity. and regardless Of the menace
TO themselves went to the rescue of
the crews, and towcd the small boats
to shore. The men Of the Perth Am
boy, who stood by their ship until it
was ablaZe from bow to stern. were
