SHIPS THAT NEVER RETURN

The disappearance OF the United
States collier Cyclops over a year
ago has never been explained, and
probably never will be until that day !
when the sea gives up its dead.
During the past three score years
several other ships have vanished
after having started on voyages to or
from America. The disappearance
of the passenger steamer City OF
Boston in 1868 is one of the ocean
mysteries. The fate of the steam
ship Arctic and the President long
before have never been known. The
non-arrival at New York of the
steamer Naronic quarter of a cen
tury ago has never been explained,
and the disappearance CT the British
training ship Atlanta, which left
Bermuda in 1879 with five hundred
young naval officers is also wrapped
in mystery.
The Baltimore Sun in speaking OF
the Cyclcps, the last to vanish,
says "the mystery Of the Cyclors
becomes still more mysterious now
that the German Admiralty declares
tfat il has nc record of the sinking
of the collier by submarine. and

DESERTION OF
 DOUGLAS KILLS
 GIANTS CHANCE

New York, Aug. 23.-The untimely detection of Phil Douglas, upon whom John McGraw was counting in the uI- timate dash down the homestretch, caps the melancholy climax for the Giants and practically wrecks what ever lingering chance they carried for the title.
 Furthermore, it gives Mc'Graw's critics an opportunity to assert he was euchered in the deal by which he gave Davey Robertson fol rre pig pitcher. It is assumed Fred Mitchell may not have known whether or not Shufflin' Phil still was given to pastin1ing along the primrose trail.
 But certainly McGraw is not to blame for Douglas latest outbreak. The Giant leader gave him every op- portunity to make good in New York, and if Douglas has grasped the chance instead of booting it he doubt less would have been a fixture with the club next season. Now, however, he has been placed on the ineligible list and will be lucky indeed to get off of it.
 That Douglas should have thrown down McGraw and his teammates at a time when every member of the club is fighting tooth and nail to keep in the pennant race is to be regrett- ed.
 Although the Giants have fallen under hostile bombardment and have only a remote chance for the flag the morale of the club is unshaken. Never has the team shown better spirit than today with the route black with disappointment. Fletcher has played every game with a lame leg aP rr-If Fred Toney has responded when call ed upon despite illness of more than a month. But Douglas was the weak link and here came the break.
 The case of Douglas is no state se- cret in balldom. This is not the first time he has frollicked along the gild- ed course. Cincinnati knew him as a member of the Reds as one of its most eccentric citizens. Brooklyn, too, found him in hot water of more than one jam. Chicago, too, had cause for complaint although it is a matter of record that Douglas had settled down somewhat when he jonied the Cubs.
 For time he pitched his so-called head off for Fred Mitchell.
 When Shufflin' Phr joined the Giants he asserted he intended to put forth every effort to help McGraw to land a pennant. He declared it had long been his ambition to play with a championship club and requested Me Graw to pitch him as frequently as possible He did well enough when called upon. but showed nothing over which fandom could wax enthusiastic.
 McGraw is through with Douglas. Discipline must be enforced on the club now more than ever. The Giants arc stiH in the fight for the flag and McGraw will permit no let-up.

 His part in ''The Bramb1e Bush,'' just being completed with Miss Cor inne Griffith. is that of the worth less sweetheart of Dana Lloyd, friend of the leading character.
 Nane came walking onto the set for one of the scenes, dressed like a million dollars. He had on pearl silk trousers, a silk hat and spats and carried a cane. He wore a diamond big enough to flag a train.
 "Can the cops" shouted Tom Ter< riss. the director. He stepped to Vane with a frightened look. Its too much" he said. "Go out and lend that makeup to a dozen millionaires,l then come back dressed like O human being. You're not supposed to th1nlr enough of this girl to blind every- body" So Nane had to change his makeup, modify and edit it down to- an ordinary fashion plate.
