Following is the ninth of a series
comparing the clubs of the two big
leagues- The tenth will appear in an
early issue.
By H. C. Hamilton
(United Press staff correspondent)
New York, Feb. 7. There will be no
weakening of the Tigers next season, if
Ty Cobb returns to the team instead of
taking part in the war on (iermany.
Some departures appear to have
struck the club in the midriff, but, as
a matter of fact, the Tigers actually
will bo stronger in some parts than
when they gave up the battle for a
pennant last fall. For instance, the
infield will have some added strength
in tho person of Leo Dressen, a first
class first baseman, and in tho hurling

of his youngsters.
Kay Kallio is the most promising of
the youths who will wear the Tiger
spansrles next season. He eomes from
the Pacific Coast league with a long
record of effectiveness- His aequisi-
! tion is fully expected to offset the
jloss in the enlistment of Howard Ehm-
ke, another coast graduate who had

provided, of course, the army or navy
doesn't appeal too strongly to them.
The infield will be intact, with the
probable) exception of George Burns,
and if Dressen is capable of putting
the skids under Burns and taking over
the defense of first base himself the
Tigers are certain to be stronger in
the inner works.
The Tiger infield never has been as
hnavv a irany of artillerv as could be
desired. Fielding has been a heavy
point with tho
nlnVi linwflvnr. And a
little punch shot in there will work
wonders. In Vitt the Tigers have a
third baseman who is generally rated
on a par with Bunch Weaver. Donie
Bush is one of the very best shortstops
in the big leagues, rep ruling is a
passing fair second baseman. If Burns
can keep his health and piny regular
baseball, or if Dressen proves up to
advance notice, the Tigers will bo well
set.
Pitchers always have been a soft
spot in Detroit since the days of Wild
Bill Donovan. Hints that Bill might at
tach himself to the Tigers for coach
ing purposes, therefore, sounds mighty
fine in the Michigan metropolis. Bill
might be able to put something in that
pitching staff. With a fine crop of
youngsters to work on, it may be that
the Tiger machine yet will get started
'toward tho point it has hoped for so
long. The punch is certainly there
Whenever the Tigers get to cutting
down tho opposition to slightly fewer
runs the American league is going to
recognize an upstart.

Has Carried Thousands.
New York. Feb. 7. Thousands of
American troops have - been carried.
across the sea by the British steamer
Tuscania, just fallen victim to a Ger-
man submarine, off the Irish coast. She
took the old 6Uth New' York to France.
The Tuscania was of 14,348 tons gross.
She was the crack vessel of the Anchor
line, under charter or tho Cunard line.
Her capacity was 2,500 passengers, but
with alterations in her accommodations
she could carry many troops.
' Captain Peter McLean was chief offi
cer of the Tuscania. She has had sever
al encounters with submarines and on
one occassion rescued 45 American sur
vivors of a U-boat arrack.
Figures Are Lacking.
Washington, Feb. 7. At 1:30 o'clock
this afternoon the statistical division
of the army stated that the only official
reports it has thus tar received on
the torpedoing of the Tuscania showed
2,179 uniformed men and civilians
aboard of whom 267 are reported miss
ing. Unofficial reports tend to reduce the
number of missing and Army Censor
General Mclutyre stated he expected
the casualties to drop below the pres
ent figures.
The names of nearly thirty survivors
had been received up to this hour.
Admiralty Statement.
London, Feb. 7. The admiralty offi
cially announced today that 210 persons
were lost and 2,187 saved in the tor
pedoing of the transport Tuscania, Tues
day. Forty five Tuscania survivors, landed
Wednesday night, wer picked up from
open boats in a rough sea, it was au
nouueed today.
Other survivors were landed at ports
in Ulster ,it was staled.
Earlier Reports Received
Washington. Feb. 7. A troop Ship
thn Tuscania with 2.179 American sol-
dira aboard, has been torpedoed and
sunk with the probable loss of 210 lives.
From out of the war zone 3,000 miles
away this news today brought sharply
before America the grim realization that
Germany at last has struck successfully
at this country's transport service,
It marked the opening of the long
expected U-boat drive against the in
creasing lines of United States troops
being sent to the French front and
Germany's greatest stroke of the war
againBt this country.
The Tuscania, British Cunarder press
ed into transport service for the Ameri
can war department, carried scattered
units of headquarters and companies D
E and F of the Twentieth engineers;
107th military police; 107th supply
trains; 100th, 158th and 213th aero
squadrons, and replacement detachments
and 51 unassigued officers, 32nd divis
ion. The last included Michigan and
Wisconsin national guardsmen and reg
ular army engineers.
First Reports Worst.
The first dispatches received at the
war department stated that of 2,179
troops on tho vessel, the survivors num
bered 1,100 so far as could be learned.
These were landed at Buctauna and
Lame, on the north coast of Ireland.
Later dispatches from the American
embassy at London, however stated that
out of 2,172 troops aboard, 1,912 were
saved.
Throughout the night the great gov
ernment wireless stations and cables
were pressing for details of the disas
ter. Until early this morning Secretaries
Baker and Daniels remained at their
desks directing the work of inquiry.
Early today a long cable came through
which is now being decoded and which
is expected to picture details of the
attack.
Pioneer W oncers.
The Twentieth engineers are foresters
recruited for pioneer work behind the
liuef. The regiment is the largest in the
service and its members are drawn from
every national gimrd and national army
division as well as from the regular
army and general recruiting channels.
The troops have been in training for
their support work at the American
University at Washington. A large num
ber of college men, including experts in
forestry, are in the regiment.
The aero squadrons were drawn from
various divisions.
Scattered TJnits.
The remaining troops, comprising
more than two thirds of those on board
were Michigan and Wisconsin guards
men. The 107th engineers train was
composed of the former First battalion
of Michigan engineers and the 107th
military police was drawn from the
world's champion three-cushion billiard
player (Successfully defended his title

AND TEN
DEATH TOLL
j Fourth and Sixth Wisconsin infantry.
The 107th supply train was drawn
from the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Wis-
The report from the war department
pointed out that the Tuscania was a
British steamship and not an American
transport. This was taken to mean that
the recent agreement of the British te
put all shipping facilities possible at
disposal of the United States for carry
ing soldiers, munitions and supplies al
ready had been put into effect.
Eough Seas Probable
Eeports that survivors were being ta
ken to Belfast led to the supposition
that the Tuscania was bound for Liver
pool by way of the north coast. It was
suggested by officials that rough seas
may have separated the vessel from its
convoy. Fear that survivors may be suf
fering acutely from exposure is thought
to have prompted the American embassy
at London and Belfast officials to has
ten plans for the immediate relief of the
troops on their arrival at the Irish port.
The ambassador sent an assistant mil
itary attache and another army officer
' to Belfast, Ireland,' the American em
' bassy at London cabled the state de
partment at 11 o'clock last night.
' ' Representatives of the American
Bed Cross and the Y'. M .C. A. also
have gone with full power to spend all
the money needed and authorization
from the British Bed Cross to use their
equipment at Belfast. The Lord Mayor
of Belfast is giving all the aid . pos
sible. The latest information was that
1,912 officers and men on the Tuscania
were accounted for out of 2,173."
Official Statement.
The initial communication of the dis
aster by the war department was:
' ' The department has been officially
advised that the steamship Tuscania
was torpedoed and sunk and that survi
vors numbering 1,100 as far as could bo
ascertained at that time were lauded at
Buncrana and Lame in Ireland. There
was a total of 2,179 United States troops

The names of survivors of the disaster
began to reach the war department by
cable from Belfast early this morning.
It was announced that the names will
be given out in their entirety iu order
to prevent undue anxiety of relatives.
The initial list included twenty national
guard and regular atrny officers.
National army troops transports
transferred to the guard to bring the
division to war stieugth were included
in the units. If any of these are lost
they will be the first soldiers called to
tho colors by conscription to die over
seas. It was grim coincidence that the news
of the Tuscania disaster should follow
rapidly on the heels of a statement by
Secretary of the Navy Daniels that
"the war against U-boat is being won"
and announcement in juondon that tho
United States is "waging a successful
campaign against the U-boat" with new
devices. Owing to the fact that the
Tuscania is a British ship, it is believ
ed the United States did not havo ves
sels in her convoy.
The first word of the attack, indicat
ing a thousand Americans had been lost,
reached here last night. Secretary of
War Baker and Secretary Daniels were
both in their offices when the news
came in. It was held up for some time
in the hope that later advices would
show a greater number of survivors.
President Gets kcwb
President Wilson was at the theatre
when the news broke over the city.
Shouted extras announcing the heavy
toll in American lives greeted him as ho
emerged from the Foyer with Mrs. Wil
son. Beaching the White House, ho called
both Baker and Daniels for a full ac
count of the disaster.
The shock of early bad reports was
modified later by more encouraging mes
sages indicating the loss of life was not
so heavy as first believed.
It is now clear that the convoys and
patrol boats were near at hand for sur
vivors have been landed at widely sep
arated points on the Irish coast.
This faet also held out hope today
that of the 210 or more men yet to bo
accounted for, some may have been safe
ly landed at an obscure place on the
coast. No mention lias been made thus
far of the vessel's crew.
May Have Had Fight.
The fact that the transport was un
der convoy, leads to the belief here that
a sharp fight with the enemy may. have
occurred before or after the Tuscania
received her death blow.
Great preparations had been made for
the German assault on transports for
some time. Lord Nortlicliffe tliroiiii
the United Press, warned of the German
preparations several months ago. Early
last week army officials here anticipat
ed the concerted U-boat effort when the
Germans withdrew their submersibles
for re-fitting. Last Monday Secretary
of War Baker in his weekly review
declrred that the drive against Per
shing's transports was impending.
Wan British Liner.
The Tuscania was a British passenger
and freight ship of 14,3o0 tons mas-
gve mark for the U-boat. She has been

tle fifth great vessel operated by the

sage from London over Admiral Sims
When Itching Stops
There is one safe, dependable treatment
that relieves itching torture and skin irri
tation almost instantly and that cleanses
and soothes the skin.
Ask any druggist for a 35c or $1 bottle
of zemo and apply it as directed. Soon
you will find that irritations, pimples,
blackheads, eczema, blotches, ringworm
and similar skin troubles will disappear.
A little zemo, the penetrating, satisfy
ing liquid, is all that is needed, for it
banishes most skin eruptions and makes
the 6kin soft, smooth and healthy.

He mentioned nothing of a convoy,
but navy officials said either Ameri
can or British destroyers had convoyed
her.
it was stated at the navy depart
ment that the message signed "Sims''
mighf have been from another officer,
it not being known that Sims himself
is in London now.
A further message signed "Sims"
repeated state department dispatches
of last night that 2(37 persons are re
ported missing from the Tuscania.
Anything coming from American na
val headquarters in London would be
signed "Sims," it was stated.
Calif ornians Were on 'Board
San Francisco, Feb. 7. Although 400
Californians are members of the Twen
tieth engineers, companies D, E, and
F of which were aboard the torpedo
transport Tuscania, indications early
today were that the Calit'ornians are
in other companies of the regiment
and already safe' in France. While
some California men are known to be
members of companies of similar des
ignation to these aboard the Tnscani'
the fact that letters written in France
have been received by several parties
from these men caused tho belief that
th engineers on the shipp were of a
different battalion.
The news of the torpedoing of the
transport stirred military circles here
and aroused the desire of both officers
and men to "get a crack at the
bodies" to a fever heat-
The Twcntiefth engineers regiment
is largely composed of Pacific coast
men having been recruited in Califor
nia, Washington and Oregon, chiefly
for work as foresters in France. Its
personnel is, for a large part, men with
experience in the western logging
woods and camps. Colonel William A.
Mitchell commanded the regiment.
Tascania Floated for Hours
London, Feb. 7. The transport Tus
cania ilontect for several hours after
she was torpedoed w Irish waters
Tuesday, it was learned today- It was
stated that "Americans aboard other
vessels witnessed the torpedoing. ' '
The fact that tho Tuscania remain
ed afloat for a considerable period
after tho fittack is believed to account
for the largo number of lives saved.
Reference to Americans "aboard
other vessels" witnessing the torpe
doing might indicate that the Tuscania
either was convoyed by American war
ships or was one of an armada of
transports carrying Aiuernun troops.
All Soldiers Insured
Washington, Feb. 7. All American
soldiers lost on the torpedoed trans
port Tuscania were protected by gov
ernment insurance, Secretary McAdoo
announced today. Jiow many ot these
men on the transport had applied for
tho insurance is not yet known. How
ever, those who have not applied for
insurance are protected by the auto
matic provision of the war risk law,
which aggregates for each man about
$4300 or $25 a month for 240 months
Thoso who havo applied for insurance
will be covered by the amount named
in their applications.
