Bristol:and Karisrufe Ex- change «Shots in Night Chass. Halifax, N. S, Aug. 14.—For half an hour last Thursday night H. M. 8. Bristol, the smallest British warship in the North Atlantic, fought a long- range duel- with the Karlsruhe, the largest and fastest of the German cruisers which have been trying to in- tercept British shipping on the North Atlantic. Fleelng from the British cruiser Suffolk, which interrupted the Karls- ruhe coaling at sea from the Kron- prinz Wilhelm, the German cruiser was intercepted by the Bristol south- west of Bermyda, and for a half hour a long-range running fight took place in the blackness of semi-tropical night. Racing through the heavy swell at a terrific clip, the ships exchanged broadsides without inflicting: much damage, the conditions being very unfavorable for accurate gunnery. Although the Bristol's consorts were at least one humdred miles astern the German would not stand and fight, according to the British participants. Altering his course, he gradually drew away from the Bristol, owing to su- perior speed, and. after half, an hour was out of range-of the British ship's six-inch bow-chaser. Chase Lasts;All Night. All through the night the chase lasted. but somewhere in the dark- ness the German doubled and made oft south to San .Juan, where he put in for coa} some. days ago. # Details of this action, the first sin- gle ship fight in which a British man- o'-war has engaged In these waters in a hundred years, were brought to Halifax today by H. M. S. Suffolk, the flagship of Rear Admiral Crad- dock, commanding the fourth cruiser squadron, “We were steaming north on Thurs- day morning last and the crew had Just been ordered to general stations, when from the foremasthead came the hail, ‘Enemy on-the port bow,’ " said the flag captain of the Suffolk, in giv- ing out an official statement of the chase of the Karlsruhe today, “As soon as we knew that war was de- clared, the ship had been prepared for battle, Fittings, all woodwork, and everything else that might be at all inflammable, were pitched over- board and the sea for ‘miles round was strewn with debris. “Under these circumstances there was very little left to do en the or- der, 'Clear ship for action,’ was given. The municipal crews went to battle stations, and the stokers were double banked. Off the Port Bow. “Off the port bow, about eleven or twelve miles away, we could see the Karlsruhe and the Kronprinz Wil- helm..... The Karisruhe had her boats.| out, coaling from the North German Lloyad ship, and as weé hurried down | toward her it was 1n the hope she had run so short in her bunkers that we could catch her. ' \ “As ‘soon’ as the Germans sighted us they took to their heels. The Karlsruhe did not even' stop to pick up her boats. Her men clambered aboard as best they' could, and she hustled away to the northward, while the Kronprinz Wilhelm steered off to the east. We knew, of course, that the Karlsruhe had the heels of us. Our only hope was that she was ! short of fuel and could not keep up her steam, but this hope was fruit- less. 5 “Nineteen thousand yards was the closest we got to our quarry. The Bristol was to the north of us, the Berwick to the south. We called both of them up by wireless and or- dered them to ald in the chase. The Berwick tried to cut off the Kron-| prinz Wilhelm, while the Bristol took | a position to intercept the Karlsruhe.

We had no fear of the result if the Ger- man stood up to the Bristol, for we were all sure that our fellows could whip the Karlsruhe easily at close quarters, but we wanted to be in at the finish ourselves. “The Karlsruhe had the heels of the Bristol, too. They were in #ttion for just about half an hour. For a few minutes the German stood up and the ships fought broadside to broad- side, the Bristol using her two 6- inchers and the five 4-inchers on her broadside against the Karlsruhe's five four-point ones.' After a few min- utes, however the Karlsruhe turned and ran. The Bristol chased her, fir- ing her forward six inchers. Good Practice Difficult. “It was difficult to make anything like good practice. Tt was pitch darkness and the sea was heavy. Not one of the German shells landed any- where near the Bristol, but our chaps think they got some shots aboard the Karlsruhe. However, in long range fighting under those conditions it is pretty difficult to do much and the Karlsruhe's speed saved her again. “The Suffolk, Berwick and *Bristol cruised together for several days, but could get no trace of the Karlshuhe or her consort and finally we heard that she had put into Porto Rico for coal. “We got a prize last Saturday morning off Bermuda—the German oil tanker Leda, which was coming up from Baton Rouge for New York. She did not know that war had been declared and was very much sur- prised when we ordered her to stop with a blank shot across her bows. However they took their capture with very good grace. We put a prize crew aboard and convoyed her to Bermuda, where we turned her over to the examination service and continued our vovage mnorth.” ORGANIZATION RECOGNIZED.

Today he received a defi from the Britain Valley league team end also from the East Ends. The latter team accuses him of “‘crawling” and after offering to play the Rangers for a purse of $50 advises Manager Hanna to “think it over” The fol- lewing is the statement of Manager Earnest: “Mgr. Rangers, Mr, Hanna: “I noticed in last ‘Herald' that vou had a Mugsey New evening's series of games with the Pioneers for the ‘City | Championship.’ Now, before you start playing for any championship supposing you come around and talk business with me and eliminate my team from the race (which I doubt very much you can do.) I am still waiting for an answer as to your crawling out of the game you had scheduled with me for July 19th last, unless it was for the reason that if we beat your team you could not play the Pioneers. “Mr, Hanna, you also want to keep in mind the beating the ‘Tigers,’ who were under my management last sea- son, gave the Ranger: taking three cut of four games played and I have a team now that is as good, and in tact, is better than the one I had last season and stand ready any time, any place to play your team a series of games for fun or $50. “And another thing, just because we are cleaning up some of the local teams, that doesn’t stop you from giving the other teams a chance to do the same to you. “Think it over Mr. Hanna. “Yours respectfully, “AXEL O.
