WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—American destroyers have sunk a considerable number of German U boats. The first of a series of descriptions portraying the battles between these destroyers and enemy submarines was made public to-day by the Committee on| Public Information. The date of the first encounter, in whieh the U boat apparently was sunk, in View of a fleet of merchant ships unaer convoy, is withheld, as ts the name of the destroyer engaged. “A feature of interest attaches to this engagement,” says the official from the British Admiralty, which expressed admiration for the efficient and seamanlike conduct of the officers and crew of the American de stroyer.” ‘The account as prepared from the Navy Department's report follows: “The American destroyer first | sighted the submarine in the early morning of a clear day. The sea was entirely calm, with hardly a ripple ef foam. The submarine was run- ning submerged, with only her peri- scope showing. A large number of merchant ships were in sight. “The U-boat was less than a mile off the port beam of the destroyer and following @ parallel course in an opposite direction when the periscope | Was discovered. It was throwing up @ column of water several feet in height, so like a nearly spent tor- pedo that the officer of the ueck thought for a moment that this was what it was, “The next instant the destroyer changed its course sharply to the left and it headed for the U boat at} tull speed. “At the samo time the forward gun opened fire on the periscope. The commanding officer ordered a course steered that would bring the destroyer | across the wake of the U bout a little to the rear of the periscope. ROBBED OF $15,000.

At this time the baseball park was jammed to capacity, about 32,609 being on band when Umpire Sitk O'Loughlin called “Play ball.” The rival managers finally selected the batteries—Cicotte and Sebalic _ for the White Sox and Sallee and McCarty for the Giants, They preliminary practice, always Interesting to @ world series crowd, brought out the usual applause, but it was not the battle that crowd itself until the real started let loose, When the the White Sox walked out flold they were given a big |] They went at batting prac- tice almost immediately. Joe Benz followed Wolfgang on the mound and then Claude Williams served up his| left hand slants to the Chicago bat- The White Sox paid particular) attention to bunting, George Burns led the Giants upon field and tre stands gave him a prolonged cheer. The New Yorks wore thelr traveling uniforms of gray with & purple stripe on thelr stockings, Meanwhile photggraphers rushed hither and yon, gnap-shooting ovation, the players in various poses, spear- ing high ones out of the air and dig- ging grounders out of the dust, Manager McGraw used big Jeff Teareau, his spitballer, in the batting practice of tho Giants, Two left handers, Schupp and Sallee, and Pol itt took their turns at the bat. “Silk” O'Loughlin, dean of American League umpires, was selected to judge balls and strikes, and thus be senior umpire of the first world's game, by the National Commission, The other threo arbiters—Evans of the Amer!- can League and Kiem and Rigler « the National—were stationed on bases, a new system of declding plays in the big games, It was nearly noon before the Na- Commission assembled, The commission first met the four World Series umpires and assigned them and also instructed them on interpreta- tlona of obscure playing rules. The baseball rulers then had an appoint. ment with aceredited moving picture camera men and staff photographers of newspapers, These men were given | ingent orders as to “how far they can go” 00 the field. The big stands blazed with the na tonal colors. A large section of the stand was filled with hundreds of members of the Officers’ Reserve Corps from Fort Sheridan, The usual brass band piped Its latest tunes to entertain the guthering crowd, ¢ groundkeepers worked all m ing upon the playing Meld, Gasoline | was poured over the ground and up the moisture, and ns took the dame ¢ r| ! and it fa | A t-long & Hne of two or r Ired persous, including few », waited at the win- dows where at 10 o'slocks this morn- PROBABLE LINE-UP, GIANTS.

The reluctant gray of the morniag had not appeared when newsboys came shouting on the scene with “all about the World's Series,” and were relleved of their supplies tn short or- der, The pap it appeared, were reasonably certain that Cleptte would pitch for Chicago and Schupp for New York, Second choice was Faber for the locals and Perritt for the New Yorkers. As daylight appeared the rain seemed to have ceased definitely and spirits rose, New arrivals came now in groups and tho lines grew rapidly until they wound out of sight of the ticket windows around corners: into side streets, Vendors with pennants began to appear, others with borns and other nolsaemaking instruments and even toy balloons, At 7.90 this morning tarpaulins were removed from the baselines and the grounds were pronounced reasonably fit for the historic contest about to be put on Both téams are in fine fettle for the start, ‘The only player who ts mot in pink of condition, although be Js ated to we is Catcher Law Moe Giants.
