y BY N. e. BROWN.
Is the next chairman of the ma
tional commission to be John B. Fos-
ter, until recently secretary of the
New York Giants. That's what Nine.
Rumor says, says she.
Foster has been connected with
baseball many years. He was named
secretary of the New York National
league club in 1912, following the
death of John T. Brush. Foster was
we'll known as a baseball writer at
that time and went into the execu-
tive end of the sport with a clear
idea of what the public demands of
the men running the sport He was
editor of Spalding's record book at
the time and still holds that position.
Foster is known to the college grid
fans in the east also, having handled
the big games staged at the Polo
grounds.
Fosters friendship with the for
mer president. Harry Hampstead. is
said to be the reason for the board Of
directors letting Foster out. Mrs.
Hampstead, daughter of John T.
Brush, inherited stock from her ia
ther and refused to sell it to George
A. Stoneham, John McGraw and
Judge McQuade when they purchased
the other stock of the club. The
board probably decided they did not
want a secretary friendly to the mi
nority interests, although Fosters
ability to handle the clubs affairs
was not questioned.

MYSTERY" SHIP SINKS
 TWO SUBS IN ONE DAY
One of The First DecOy Ships to Play Havoc With U-Boats, Crew all Were Volunteers.

Falmouth, England, Jan. 15.-fCor respondence of the Associated Press. Two German submarines were sunk in one day by the Mary $. Mltcheli a sailing vessel, one of the mystery ships" of the war now .eXhloiteo nefe This craft was one of the first, II not the first, of the decoy ships when played havoc with the U-boats. rms vessel went into the decoy service ear lv in 1916, under command of Lleu- tenant John Lowrie. All her officers and crew volunteered for the hazard ous work. She was provided with a twelve pounder and two Well-cohceal- ed six pounders.
 She sighted the first submarine fhree miles away and loafed aloni awaiting a chance to bag It. The Ger- man craft followed at a safe distance for a time, but finally crawled closed and after satisfying itself that it had superior speed and gun power, opened fire.
 Failure of the mystery ship to re- turn fire at once baffled the German officers. They were quiet for fifteen minutes, and then resumed fire. When the submarine came sufficiently close and wa sin good position abeam, the concealed guns of the sailing ship were brought into play and landed six mortal hits on the submarine, which was unable to fire an additional shell. Just three minutes after the first hit, the submarine was blown up by a shot which holed it just below the foredeck and caused an explosion which threw vast column of water high into the air.
 Later the same day another German submarine approached the Mary E. Mitchell and opened fire at a distance of about two miles. After the sixth round the mystery ship was stopped and boat put off. To all appearan- ces the craft was abandoned. hTe submarine approached the supposed wreck at full surface speed. Then it submerged for a time and suddenly rose to the surface again.
 , The gunners of the Mary B. Mitchell landed shell just below the coming tower and pierced the side one foot above the water. A flash of brilliant blue flame and ednse yellow smoke came from the hole. Almost instantan- eously another shell struck forward and the submarine was enveloped in ablck smoke and sank into the water bow foremost, with loud gurgling and hissing.
 The official report does not say that the Mary B. Mitchell was filled with wood to keep her from sinking, but this was doubtless the case, as other mystery ships kere so equipped and were able to float in spite of any damage inflicted on them by torpe- does, and shells. Their guns were ire quently hidden behind doors in the sides of the ship which could be swung open.

Nuns of Russia Unafraid Continue Ministering to the Poor and Needy
 Unmindful of Bolsheviki Threats. Shenkursk, Russia, Jan. 15.-Via London, n,-( Correspondence of The Associated Press. )-The Russian Or thodox church is taking leading rolea in the effort to rid Russia of Bolshe- |vis,n and it's attendant anti-reHgious trend. The Associated Press corres-. pondent recently visited scores of vil- jlages along the Dwina and Vaga riv- CTS behind the Russo-Allied army's lines and found everywhere the church the strongest influence among the peasants against the B0lsheviki and favoring the Allies, and every village has one of more splendidly built churches, regardless of the commun- ity's poverty.
 In this little town, far up the Vaga river near the line of the Vologda gov- ernmept, there are four beautiful churches and an ancient convent. Mother Raphelia, the superior in charge, received the correspondent. The mothers pale, unwrinkled, old face lighted enthusiastically when the correspondent asked her to explain what part the church will play in Russia's regeneration when the Bol- sheviki are gone.
 q have 300 nuns here." she said, land we have gone on living through these troubled times. sometimes dis turbed, but always feeding the poor and learning from the peasants, who are Russia's real people, that they are still with God. And Shenkursk is like hundreds of other towns. The same holds true everywhere. Some people say that the church is losing it's influence. That is not true"
 | Shenkursk was in the hands of the Bolsheviki for only short time as the citizens drove out commissar and his wife who were sent from Moscow to organize the Bolsheviki there. Dur ing that short time the Bolsheviki made several efforts to confiscate the oonvent's property and once demand ed a payment of S0,OOO rubles.
 "One day." Mother Raphelia told the correspondent "one of my nuns came to me and said the Bolsheviki were down stairs, eating the dinner we had prepared for the poor, and wanted to arrest me. 1 put on my robe and walked down calmly in the
 big dining room. Why. some of those Bolsheviki were local boys, whom I had known as children. I walked up to the man and said: Here am arrest me- But they were ashamed, and said it was all mistake, and went away.
 But the next morning they took the son of priest and shot~him. l don't know why"
 Most of the nuns in the SNenkursk convent came from the peasant vii lages. There are only few drawn from the bourgeoise classes Mother
