BRAVES AND PHILS USE 27 PLAYERS ‘Boston Team Wins in Travesty on National Game Philadelphia, Oct. 6.—A travesty on the national game of baseball was staged yesterday when the Phillies wound up their season by losing to FPoston by the score of 4 to 1. Twen- ty-seven players, including Billy Ma- harg, took part in the fracas. Ta know who participated in the game would require speaking acquaintance | with all the players of both teams. There was enough shifting of posi- tions to make any one dizzy. Notwithstanding all this, it was an interesting game to look at, and drew farth many a good laugh. Fortune started out for the Maranmen, but he vag touched up for two runs, and was 1eplaced by Baumgartner. Nehf twirl- ed the entire game for the Braves, and was slugged hard. Y Moran tried out nearly everybody on hig bench. Billy Maharg, a friend of Alexander’s, entered the box scare when he batted for Good in the eighth and was thrown out at first. He then went to right fleld, where he posed in the shadow cast by the large flag on top of the grand stand. The management opened the gates after the fourth inning and allowed ull the youngsters to pick out seats. Many made a dive for the boxes, and immediately started out to get the Toston players’ goats, and succeeded. To kaep track of the players going in #nd changing thefr positions every in- ning would nearly require the services wf several bookkeepers. In one inning Magee would play first base, then shortstop; Bender would pinch hit for some one; Eddie Burns would don the catcher’s mask, then take it off, then go to center field; Maranville &5 to the clubhouse; then Snodgrass vrould go to first. The fellow who kept the box score nearly went crazy. The announcer got so hoarse shout- irg out the changes that he had to fall back on a wigwag system. Not- withstanding all these changes, it was a, pretty goed game inning. Cravath was not at the game as he left for his hame on the Pacific coast Wednesday night. The Phillies were tendered a banquet last night by President Baker at the Cedar Driving club. The score: r. ‘h. e, ..000201001—4 7 1 ..000010000—1 10 1 Nehf and Blagkburn; Baummgartner and.,Adams.

Scouts who desire to make application for merit badges are re- quired to come to the regular meet- ing of this court after having passed their examination before the author- ized expert. The commissioner is planning to work up more intereat in the merit badge work among the troops. It is felt that not enough has been done with this phase of Scouting in this city. In accordance with this plan, every first class Scout whether he has quaiified in any merit badge tests or not is requested to at- tend the next meeting of the court of honor on Tuesday evening, October 17, at 7 o’clock in the Y.

McGraw made good his threat of re- treat and did not appear at Braoklyn yvesterday for the final game of the vear in which his team was engaged the players were foiled from carrying out a scheme of generous intent. Aft- er the Giants had completed their record shattering trip through the clubs of the league the players de- cided to commemorate in a way the offorts of themselves and their man- ager. To do this they purchased a valuable collection of Willlam Shakes- peare’s works and were ready to pre- sent these books to their manager at the game. The failure of McGraw to appear does not deter the players from keep- ing to their original intention. How- ever, there will be no public presenta- tion. The books will be sent to Mec- Graw’s home and with them will go an autographed resolution, in which each player assures the manager of his es- teem for his fairness and hard work during the record breaking journey. Although the statement of McGraw issued Tuesday still is a big topic of interest among baseball leaders most of th closely connected with the affair wished to allow it to blow over, Officials of the Glants declared the affair was settled and that they re- fused to comment further.

London, Oct. 6.—The British miralty announces that the steamer ad- Cunard employed for transport duty, was sunk in the Medi- terranean Wednesday by an submarine. The steamer had troops aboard. Twelve men crew of 302 are missing. According to the latest available reports the Franconia was being used as a Britlsh transport. Franconia, enemy no of the She was a vessel of 18,160 tons gross and was built in 1910. Her maiden voyage | was between Liverpool and Boston in February, 1911. The Franconia was 625 feet long, 72 feet wide and dis- placed 25,000 tons. When she was built she was considered one of the most comfortable steamers of the Cunard line. A striking feature of the saloon appointments was the ab- sence of state rooms on the boat deck, which was devoted promenade room, a library, gymnasium and a lounge and smoking room. The ves- sel was nicknamed the “bath ship,” inasmuch as she had more bath rooms and showers than the Mauretania, this equipment being installed for the benefit of passengers bound for long cruises to the Mediterannean. The steerage of the Franconia was considered the best appointed of any steamer carrying third-class passen- gers. The old idea of steerage com- partments had been eliminated and state rooms, capable of accommodat- ing four, six and eight persons had been installed in her. The last re- port of the Franconia in June, announced that she had been | tered to carry British troops to { Dardanelles. to 19 char the | T will ask you to convey this m. | O'Leary, Jeremiah A. O’Lears; Asks $25,- 000 Jor Alleged Libel York, 6.—Vance C. Mec- Cormick, chairman of the democratic New Oct. national committee announced at New York late yesterday that he had been served with a summons in a suit for 50,000 brought against him by Jere- miah A. O'Leary, president of the | “American truth society.” Mr. Mc- Cormick said he had not been ap- praised, however, of the charges upon ! which the suit was based. M. | O’Leary, in a statement isued soon afterward, declared that his purpose in instituting the action was “to find out first, whether hyphenism, so called, is libeilous, and second, wheth- er it is inconsistent with American- ism.” Mr. O'Leary said he resented a statement attributed to Mr. McCor- mick, criticizing him for sending an “insulting message’” to President Wil- son. In that message Mr. O'Leary criticized the president for ‘“not en- forcing American rights against Great Britain” and informed Mr. W n that he would not vote for the re- election of the president. Mr. Wil- son said that he would ‘‘feel deeply mortified to have you (O'Leary) or anybody like you vote for me,” add- ing, “since you have s to many disloyal Americans and have not, 1go acce T to them.” In the statement attributed to M- McCormick, appearing Wednesday and upon which Mr. O'Leary said he based his suit for libel, the chair- man of the mittee was quoted mented upon the pr B. Hughes at the cague club reception Tuesday night, concluding with the statement that there could be no doubt about Mr. Hughes' pos tion because of his silence on the message sent to the president by Mr. O'Leary. Mr. O'Leary gave out last night the following: My purpose in suing Mr. democratic national com- as having com- nce of Charles Union Le: McCormick is to find out, first, whether hyphenism so called is libel lous, and second, whether it is in- consistent with Americanism. T also sue him as a challenge to him to let an American jury decide whether a protest to the president because he has not enforced American rights against Great Britain is disloyalty. I also resent the hideous imputation contained in his statement that any man runing for a public office could repudiate my vote, or the votes of milllons of my fellow-citizens who think as I do. A citizen’s loyalty to his country is not a proper part of a political campaign, and there- fore I feel that it is wrong to assert it politically, hecause it strikes at the fundamentals of our citizenship. “What right would Charles Hughes have to repudiate me? right has he to repudiate any voter who would vote for him? I yield to Mr. McCormick his right to support Mr. Wilson and to vote for Mr, Wil- son, and no matter how faithless T belleve Mr. Wilson has been in pro- tecting American lives, property and commerce, I would never assert that he was disloyal because he supported Mr. Wilson and differed from Mr. Hughes,” John R. Jones, counsel for Mr. declared that Mr. O'Leary “‘also intends to begin other libel suits against newspapers throughout country which have questioned right and abused him for what he considered to be ly proper telegram to the of the United States.” WILSON A FAILURE, ROOT'S ANALYSIS B. What the his sendinx perfect- president a Administration Inefficient in For- ¢ign Alfairs, Chiel Argument New York, Oct. 6.—Elihu Root, speaking calmly, as he always speaks, vet with an appearance of restrained intensity that seemed to give his words added import, stood before an audience of 2,000 persons at the re- publican club’s first presidential rally in Carnegie hall last evening and brought to an end an analysis of the democratic party, its principles, its purposes, and its accomplishments as cxemplified in President Wilson with the declaration that “the spirit of American nationality” was not in the president or his party. In that lack Mr. Root found explanation, if not excuse, for what he characterized as the utter failure of the administra- tion to impress upon the other great powers a sense of the American spirit and the American power which, he insisted, if made clear as America could make it clear, was the nation’s best safeguard against war. The speech, which took Mr. Root an hour and twenty minutes to de- liver, and which roused his audience to a pitch o fenthusiasm that result- ed in frequent interruptions while the throng cheered, considered Mr. Wil- son’s administration almost wholly from its possible effect on the rela- tions of this country with other pow- In turn he took up the situation ted by Germar sinking of the tania and this countr policy respect to Mexico, making in with NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1916.
