uuisition of another outfielder would be gliding the lilly. They consider the Tanks strong enough to walk through another pennant, even with Meusel and Ruth absent until May 20. One of the outfied possibilities is Wally Schang, who was an outfielding catch CT at times with the Mackmen. With Schang, robust hitter, in the out gardens. Al De Werner, fleet of foot and strong of arm, would handle the nit and mask. Chick Fewster and Bobby Roth are other outfield pros poets that certain managers would not sniff at. All in all, with Jones and Bush giving extra polish to the pitch
 ing, the Tanks are not inclined to believe that the pennant will be de- cided between April 12 and May 30.

DIRECTORS DECIDE
 AGAINST MERIDEN
Protested Game Of Last Monday
 to Be Played Over

The directors of the Kaccys State league at meeting held yesterday at
 Hartford, voted that the protest of the New Britain kaceys against the vic-
 tory registered by the Meriden kaccys
 last Monday be allowed. As conse-
 qucnce, the game will be played over
 again on a date to be decided by the
 managers of the teams. The protest
 was based on the fact that Meriden
 used three outside players, instead of two as permitted by the league rules. There was no denial that the rule was violated.
 Mcridcn Benefited. The Meriden team was granted per- mission to use the three players in question hereafter, viz. Hartford,
 Coyle and Gill. They will appear in
 the lineup with the Silver City team
 at the Arch street armory next Sat-
 urday night.
 Manager Larry Mangan said today that he is making arrangements to
 strengthen the locals, but his plans are not in readiness for public announce
 ment as yet.
 Ruling Helps Locals. The league statistics compiled by Frank Lynch, secretary, show Johnny
 Sheehan of the locals to be the lead ing scorer of the league. Taking out
 the credited loss to New Britain, the
 standing of the teams show the locals to be holding the league lead by a fair margin over Hartford Man.

FROM THIRD STORY
Collapse of Building Trades
Strike in Chicago Re-
ported Today.

CHICAGO, May 22.-Collapse
of a threatened building trades
strike and an attack on a police
man who was hurled from third
story window of a building under
guard were the principal early
developments today in the so
called labor war. Additional in
dictments we're expected to be re-
turned by the county grand jury.
James Mullen, As. patrolman,
was thrown from the third story
of an apartment building, being
erected under the Lands wage
award by three men believed by
police to be labor "wreckers." He
suffered a fractured ankle, spinal
and possible internal injuries.
Policeman Mullen saw the men
enter the building. He followed
them to the third floor where all
three attacked him. The assail-
ants escaped.
The police said today that they
had obtained further evidence
which is said to link big Tim"
Murphy, Fred Nader and Cor
nelius Shea, with the Staying of
two policemen recently in ter
rorist disorders.
Harry Jensen, president of the
Carpenters District Council, an
nounced that the building trades
branch of the American Fedora
tion of Labor would be asked to
reorganize the Chicago council,
of which Nader is president.

.Nlnetx-Eight Missing

BREST, France. May 22-(By
The Associated Press )-Ninety-
eight persons are missing and 242
were saved of those who were on
board the British steamship Egypt
when it was sunk off the island or
Ushant Sunday night after col
1ision with the French steamer
Seine, according to the latest OFF,
cial figures.
Among those missing are two
American women, Mrs. Sibley and
Miss V. NJ. Boyer, whose home
addresses are unknown aere- IT
is possible that some of the miss
ing may have been picked up by
the steamship Cap Iraccn in addl-
ton to those brought here t'y the
Seine. The Cap Iracon was nine
miles from the s1ene, and replied
to the distress signals with the
assurance that she was speeding
to the spot.
According to The Esypt's purser,
the ship fioated only about twenty
minutes after her plates were
crushed in by the Seine. The
Egypt, he declared, was not NOV
ing at the time OF the accident,
lying to on account of the dense
fog and sounding her siren con-
tinuously.
Many Jump Overheard
Suddenly there came the warn
ing Shrek OF the siren N the
Seine and the latter loL~1d up out
of the fog and darkness and
struck the Egypt amidships. With
the crash there came a terrible
confusion on the stricken vessel.
Four or five boats were ali that
could be lowered, because of the
list Of the vessel and many per-
sons jumped overheard, fearing to
be drawn down with. the Egypt.
There was one on board when the
vessel took her final plunge, he
believed.
The .purser estimated that fif-
teen pasSangers, thirty white Off
GERS and fifty Lascars of the crew
were missing.
