Information Sent to Germany Which

Peril That Did Not Exist.

LondOn-Not the least of the many
irOnies Of the war has been rhe ONT
whiting in every direction of the much
Wanted and elaborate German SOY
system by the English directorate of
special Intelligence. which long ago
won the admiration Of its American
co-WOrkerS. Had England been less
INDIFFERENT to the German spy system
which overran the country years and
years before the war. she might have
saved herself an immense amount of
trouble; but what was done during
the war in circumventing German
lreachery and cunning has been amaZ-
ing. It would seem to have been
gigantic failure. And the explanation
or that failure appears to lie in
very real understanding of the Ger
nan mind on the part of the inteIli
gehce department. They realized that
the German has not yet been born who
can resist a fact. Give a German
one little fact TO play with and il will
keep him happy for hours.
Therefore, the industrious German
agents were supplied with facts. and |
the English intelligence department
watched quietly while they PLAYED |
WIN them. The facts were entirely |
unlmportant and sometimes they were
not facts at all, but they served their
purpose and revealed the identity Of
still more members of the German
service.

Welsh was a mile in the lead at the

Rival Shipyard Circuits May Ar

II is more than probable that there
will be a series for the Atlantic Coast
soccer championship at the close of the
season between the Delaware River
League and the one now representing
the metropolitan section.
Tentative plans have been discussed
and the general opinion Is that the Mer-
chant "B" team should play the series,
provided they win the title, rather than
a picked team. The Hartman boys have
a fast combination and would easily up
hold the honors of the league.
Secretary Levi Wilcox has been in
structed TO get in communication with
the New Workers. with view to arrang
ing the series, and they will be played
in the same manner as the baseball

SHIPYARDS BUSY
ON BALL PLANS
Four Leagues to Be Formed
Along the Atlantic
Coast
MEET AT SEASONS CLOSE

! Shipyard athletics in the Delaware
ton, judging by the tone of the reports
OF the delegates at meeting held at
the Hotel Adelphia last evening and
which was attended by delegates of all
| the various yards in this vicinity.
Considerable interest centered in ar
rangements for the coming baseball sea-
son. 1t was unanimously decided that
there would be a baseball league, and
Clarence Samuel King, secretary, who
also happens to be secretary of the At
lantc Coast Shipbu.,ders' Association.
announced that he was planning four
leagues, one in New England, another in
| the metropolitan district, the third in the
southern section and the Delaware River
section. 1t has virtually been decided
that the winners in these four leagues
come together in a series for the cham
ponship of the Atlantic Seaboard at the
conclusion of the season.
League Makeup
The makeup of the baseball league is
undecided Five teams are certain in
Merchants, of Hartman, Hog Island,
New York Ship, Harlan and Sun. Bal
timore Drydocks has been angling for q
berth in the league, even though they
are included in the southern section, and
the general opinion is for their admit
tance in view of the fact that they have
an exceptionally strong team.
In case an eight-club circuit is wanted
there are many other clubs to hear from
and these include Chester and the two
Pusey & Jones plants at Wilmington
and Gloucester. 1t was pointed out that
both the latter may have clubs, es'
pecially in view OF the fact that William
20, Coke, donor of the Coke baseball
trophy, is now connected with these
yards.
Athletics Self.Supporting
TIE shipyards are endeavoring tc
place all athletics as far as possible or
a self-supporting basis. This is fine
idea. but several delegates. apparently
more yersed in Industrial athletics thar
some Of the others, pointed out tha
this is practically an impossibility.
1t was reported that those men par
ticipating In the various sports prac
ticed after working hours and on thei
own time.
John Castle. representing basketball
gave a glowing account of the success
of that sport. In fact, 1t was sfoWl
that the cage game had been a consist
ent ney-maker at Hog Island, ant
even in Camden, where New York Shil
was under the same expense as tn
Eastern League, when that club play
in the armory. Track athletics was dis
cussed and team may be entered il

some time in June. The chairmen o

also reported success.
