Subma- rines can be built that will carry cxr- goes of 5,000 tons. “While I have no patent rights in Germany on my devices. I control my patents in the United States. If they are used here without my con- sent I can bring legal action. This does not mean, of course, that the submarine will have to stay in the United States. If the officers can “Purnish a satisfactory bond I can't have the submarine held here. “When I was in Germany in 1904 and in 1905 negotiating with the Krupps and f{the Gorman govern- ment to buy my submarine and try- Ing to show them its differences from the diving or Holland type, officers of the Krupps promised me orders. + They looked my plans, them, learned all I could tell them, and I got nothing from Germany. I certainly will libel the Deutschland if my patents are in use on i Mr. Lake said that he was greatly interested in learning that it is prob- ably a commercial submarine that Germany sent to the United States. “That is just the natural evolution of the submarine,” he said. ‘“When I “built my first submarine it was not intended for warfare, but to recover lost valuables from the ocean bot- toms.

I have many patents on ideas practical only on freight-carrying submarines. The ar- rival of the German submarine with a cargo will prove to other nations the need of undersea craft for commer- clal use.” .. Further pursuing his theory that the Deutschland is a commercial ves- sel Mr. Lake said: “Germany has demonstrated theor- fes that I have been preaching and about for the past iwenty-five The coming here of the Ger- tbmarine is an epoch in mari- rs.

Every coun- try at war will eventually come to the same thing. The development of the submarine is a long step toward pringing an end to war and restoring permanent peace.

The Red Sox proved last season that fine pitching plus a strong field- a rugged attack, even one that was led by Cobb, Crawford and Veach, all tearing the cover off the ball. Bill Donovan’s Yakees are offering about the same proof this season. They are not leading the league on attack by several notches, but they are get- ing the best pitching in the game, and back of this superb pitching both infield and outfield are helping to roll back any rival attack. At the start of the season the Yankees, via the dope, were awarded fourth place well back of the Tigers, White Sox and Red Sox. Today they are the most feared and the most formidable club in the league, despite harder luck than any other club has faced. And a club that can stand up under such adverse on when the harder test comes on the next western trip. If Willard Quits.

But you may recall George M.

Also Jess Willard comes from Kansas and Jack Dillon from Indiana. Out- side of this the FEast has pretty well held its own at boxing, golf and ten- is. Bill Donovan isn’t claiming any pennant, but he is confident that Cald- well, Shawkey and Cullop can win him four games in a certain serie§ that starts about October 9th or 10th. Also that Frank Baker can keep on hitting world series home runs. FOHL SENSATION OF BASEBALL YEAR -Jumps.from Minors in Limelight 0f Big League Lee Fohl, former manager of the { Waterbury club, is handed the follow- ing pot of honey by the New York No manager has held a more con- spicuous place in the public limelight this season that Lee Fohl, the pilot of the Cleveland Indians. By his clever handling of the Forest City tribe this season Fohl has proved to be the man- agerial find of the decade, Cleveland’s remarkable spurt this year was enough to win Fohl recog- nition, but he really did not begin to display his managerial genius until the past month. Despite every ob- stacle, with a pitching staff of kids shot to pieces, Fohl has rallied his team after every retreat and con- the fight. Fohl was a baseball nobody a year { ago as far as the big league fan was concerned. There was no trumpeting of horns and columns of préss de- spatches when Fohl took the oath as Cleveland manager a year ago. There were no pictures sent all over the country showing Lee with pen in hand signing his contract, as was the case when the great Frank Chance signed a three year contract to manage the | Yankees at $20,000 a year. When the Joe Birminghim revolu- | tion, which was smouldering in Cleve- | land throughout the 1914 season, came to a head about a year ago Joe's custing and his threat to sue Charley Somers were the big features of the Cleveland story. The last paragraph i of the story from the sixth city cen- | tained the brief statement: “For the {rresent Lee Fohl, who has been act- ing as coach for young pitchers, will act as temporary manager.” When Cleveland came to the Polo Grounds about a year ago a heavy catcher was warming up a new In- dian pitcher. Not recognizing either, Shortstop asked the catcher, “Who's that warming up, Jack?” “Jack” looked at us curiously, as though he didn’t know whether to be insulted or amused, and then mentioned the name of the pitcher. “Jack” I afterward found out to be Lee Fohl. Fohl is an accidental manager if BORDER HEAT KNOCKS OUT SOLDIER BOYS i o £ HEAT.

In 1914 Somers engaged him to manage Pis Waterbury club of the then Eastern Association, and the league Wwent on the rocks during the follow- ing winter.
