Although swivel chair baseball and
reports from the gatherings about the
mahogany have overshadowed every
thing else, preparations for the play
ing of the game In which hitting, field

The desperate fight that was to

down until it is now left entirely to
President Ebbetts of the Dodgers. The
plan to place an International league

Ebbetts field when the Feds are in

brought on hot scramble There Is

rectors of six baseball clubs of the
league and representatives from
three cities that are seeking admis-
sion to the organization, as well as a
big assortment of officials. managers
and scribes, will gather in the ancient
village of Burlington and endeavor to
select from the aforementioned three
cities two upon which to confer the
honors of being representa- in the
league in the shoes filed last season

cations point toward a rather stormy

The local club directors are also

turns out, the Central Association has

HEAVY NAVAL GUNS To
REINFORCE FORTRESS
American Consul General Asks
BeSiegerS to Spare Museums,
Hospitals and Churches From
Terrific Bombardment.
BY BERNARD BELLANCoURT.

ANTWERP, oct. 5.-British and
Belgian troops are now fighting
shoulder to shoulder in the defense of
Antwerp. according to statement
made at the war office today.
The Belgian field artillery is now
cooperating effectually with the Eng
lish heavy artillery According to a
report from the front the British fore
es took up an intrenched position
along the Nethe river, opposite the
main Germany army. The Germans
attempted TO cross the stream, but
were beaten back by artillery.
Although it was known that British
forces had landed at Ostend, the Off
cial announcement today gave the first
indication that British troops and
English artillery are aiding the de-
fense Of the temporary Belgian capi-
tai.
It is reported but not officially con-
firmed that the British marines that
landed in Ostend transported heavy
naval guns to Antwerp to reinforce
the fortresses.
BOmbardment Continues.
The German bombardment Of the
works south and southe heast of the city
is going on without cessation, the in
vaders using their heavr' howitzers
and siege artillery, against the forts.
The war office claims that the Ger
mans have not been able to force a
breach at any point and are losing
heavily in unsuccessful assaults.
Even if the Germans should sue
ceed in piercing the first line Of lines
they would find a surprise awaiting
them on the second line,' was the sig
nificant remark made today by a
member of the general staff This led
TO the belief that there is a strong
mixed force Of English and Belgians
massed along the second line OF forts.
Henry W. Diederich, the American
consul general in Antwerp. has trans
mitted to Brussels through an Ameri-
can correspondent a map Of this city
showing the churches, museums and
hospitals and a request that these be
spared for bombardment so long as
they are not used for war purposes.
Floods Cause Loss Of Guns.
Wounded Belgian soldiers from the
front say that a big distance between
Liezel and Waelhem has been flooded
by the Belgian and that the Germans,
in retreating. lost considerable artil-
lery. including one Of their heaviest
guns
These soldiers say that German air
men are kept aloft all the time watch
ing operations and Belgian troops

nois naval reserves on the training
