Wes Corcoran, Armour Star, Marks
Up Record for Consecutive Hitting
When Wes Corcoran, star third
sacker for the Armours, Omaha Class
A champions, cracked a double off
Fontaine Vernon in the Armour-Murphy
clash Tuesday, he marked up a
new hitting record in Omaha amateur
history. ,
Tuesday's combat was the twen
tieth consecutive game this year in
which Corcoran made one or more
safe base hits.
'Jack Ness, playing with Oakland,
made a world's record with hits in
fifty-four consecutive games. Sev
eral professional ball players have hit
safely in twenty to twenty-five games.
But it is seldom done in amateur
circles.
In the first place, few amateur
teams play more than twenty games
durii a season. That is the number
in which Corcoran has played. And
he hit safely in every game in which
he appeared this year.
Corcoran is easily the class of all
thirdsacker in Omaha amateur cir
cles. Some candlot critics believe he
is the best amateur ball player in
Omaha. He is a sure fielder, has a
whip like a rifle shot and he hits 'cm
a mile. None of Corcoran's hits have
been scratchy ones, or of the infield
variety, for he clubs 'em when he's
at the bat and extra base hits are his
specialty.
Corcoran is one man at least upon
whom the Armours can depend at
Minneapolis Sunday. Armours' fans
are firm in their belief that he will
add another game to his batting
record and that his fielding will be all
that could be asked.
Not only is Corcoran a star in the
field, but he is one of the most popu
lar sandlot athletes in the city.

Complete Report Asked for
In Engineer Popper's Case
Mukden, Manchuria, July 15. In
formal negotiations concerning what
is known as the Popper case? are un-.
derstood to be going on between the
United States and Japan.
The case, which involves J. E. Pop
per, an American engineer, had its
origin on August 30, 1916, when Mr.
Popper, who was in the employ of
the Chinese provincial government, is
said to have been assaulted by
Japanese coolies in the international
settlement. The American contention
is that Mr. Popper, observing that
several of the Chinese linesmen in
the employ of the Mukden Electric
works, of which he has charge, were
being molested by Japanese coolies,
requested the Japanese to desist.
The Japanese turned upon Mr. Pop
per, it is asserted, and clubbed and
beat him almost to insensibility. He
was rescued by the American vice
consul, who was hurriedly called to
the scene.
It is claimed that the Japanese con
sul-general volunteered an apology
for the incident, but as it was not
made, the consul was asked to try the
case in the Japanese consular court.
After some difficulty Mr. Popper se
cured the services of a Japanese law
yer to represent him. ' After a hear-,
mg it was announced that the lawyer
had informed the court that Mr. Pop
per had withdrawn his complaint,
though Mr. Popper declares he gave
no such authority.
It is understood that the authori
ties at Washington have become in
terested in the case and have asked
for complete report.
, The American consulate requested
that the case be reopened, but the
Japanese consul replied that this was
not possible, as the affair was closed.

Sailors Display Heroism .
Facing U-Boat Attacks
(Correspondence of The Assooiated Press.)
London, July 15. Germany's pres
ent method of sea warfare is one of
despair, declared Admiral Sir John
Jellicoe, first lord of the British ad
miralty, in a public address the other
day. "The navy, assisted by the other
allies, is doing its best and right well
is the American navy helping us," he
continued. "Even the admiralty is do
ing its best, assisted by a good deal
of celticism."
Admiral Jellicoe was speaking at a
meeting held to inaugurate a move
ment to establish a fund for sailors
to be called "King George's Fund for
Sailors," under the presidency of
Acting Lieutenant Prince George.
Paying a warm tribute to the Brit
ish merchant marine, the admiral said
the sailor never knew a moment when
the ship might not be sunk under him
and he very seldom saw the enemy
which sank him. At the best he took
to the boats often 100 to 200 miles
from shore and often underwent ter
rible experiences because the enemy
shelled the boats frequently after the
men got into them. The only effect
of that treatment on the British
sailor was to make him keen, to get
back to sea again to have a chance
of getting his own back again.
Sir John gave some instances of the
spirit which he said animated the sail
ers of the mercantile marine. Among
them were the following:
The Anglo-Californian was at
tacked and shelled for two and a half
hours by a submarine. After the at
tack had lasted one and a half hours
and the ship had been hitMrequently,
the captain decided that any attempt
to save his vessel was hopeless. As
it was being abandoned he inter
cepted a wireless message from a de
stroyer ordering him to hold on as
long as possible. The captain and
the ship's company pTomptly went
back to their vessel. The submarine
contnued to shell the ship, the mas
ter and eight hands were killed and
seven of the crew were wounde'd, but
the ship returned to port.
The steamer Palm Beach was at
tacked by a submarine and hit in sev
eral places, and two members of the
crew were injured. A young appren
tice who was wounded remained at
the wheel throughout the attack and
refused to leave his post, and the ves
sel was brought in in safety.
She was later armed with a gun and
sank one of the two submarines which
attacked her.
In the Adriatic recently three Aus
trian cruisers came up to one of the
drifters named Gowanlee, and sum
moned her to surrender. The captain,
with a six-pounder gun, engaged the
cruisers and brought his ship away
in safety. - One of the deck hands had
his lee shattered, but continued to
work and fire his gun throughout the
action.

Hubrecht Says Fear Not
Cause of Larger Dutch Navy
(Correspondence of The Associated Press.)
Tokio, July 20. "It is not because
of fear of Japan or any other particu
lar nation that the Dutch govern
ment recently voted to increase its
naval forces for the protection of
Holland's possessions in the Orient,"
was the statement attributed to J. B.
Hubrecht, nev-ly arrived secretary of
the Holland legation, in an interview,
published here.
"I can assure you," continued Mr.
Hubrecht, "that the popular senti
ment of my country toward Japan
is genuinely friendly, and the desire
is. strong to see the economic and
commercial relationship between Ja
pan and the Dutch East Indies be
come tighter. The open door is the
policy of Holland in developing those
possessions and Japanese capital is
welcomed just as equally as French,
British, American or any other.
He concluded: "With the tremen
dous commercial interests and the
enormous amount of capital invested
not only by Holland but by other
countries as well, those islands call
for sufficient protection. The present
war has taught a lesson that even a
small country needs to show that it
is prepared. Holland feels that it
is bound by the universal code of
ethics and political honor to do all it
can to safeguard the interests of those
possessions which are of great worth
to all the countries of the world, and
to help the Japanese to develop into
a strong and capable people.'
