SMITHS INJURY IS A

the Boston Nationals tonight in discuss
ing the injury of Smith at Brooklyn TO-
day and it's effects on the chances OF the
Braves in the forthcoming world series
Smiths advent in mid-season did much
to make the pennant possible. Secretary
Niekerson said. His lively personality,
the source of constant encouragement TO
pitchers and infielders. were certain y

there was encouragement he Thought, In
the fact that Manager Staliings had Deal,
who nlayed at third base until Smith
came. and Dugey and Whitfield to can
upon. Deal has practically recovered
from the indisposition which impaired his
strength earlier in the season.
Preparations for the world series games
which begin here next Monday went on
today. Construction of 1900 temporary
seats was almost finished and the press
box wires were adjusted, which will car
ry reports of the big games to Havana,
Honolulu, Toronto and other distant
points as well as to numerous places In
this country.
Plans OF the Boston National manage

THIRD BASEMAN SMITH OF
BRAVES BREAKS RIGHT Lee
while SLIDING BASES TUESDAY

New York, Oct. 6.--James C. Smith,
third baseman of the Boston National
League club, broke his right leg Just
above the ankle in aiding to second
base in the ninth inning of the first
game of today's double header with
Brooklyn. Smith will be unable to play
in the worlds series and his place Will
be taken by Charles Deal, utility in
fielder
Manager Stallings and Cap. Evers,
questioned tonight as TO what effect
the loss of Smith would have on the
work of the Braves in the champion
ship series, both declared that his alb
sence would not be a serious handicap
to the teams effectiveness, as Deal
could fill the place satisfactorily. 9th
err members of the team expressed the
same opinion. All the players declared
themselvs cenfdnt of winning against
the Athletics in the big series.
II am extremely sorry that such an
unfortunate accident should deprive
us of Smiths services at such a crit
ical stage" said Manager Stallings.
But we are singularly fortunate in
having o reliable substitute in Deal
for third base. Early in the season
Deal suffered from charley horse and
throat trouble, but he is fully Tecov-
cred and have no fear but that he
will play the position in fine shape
Smiths loss is a big one to out intieid,
but cannot say that his enforced alb
sepce will weaken il. Deal will fill the
bill perfectly and the only difference
will be that Smith was better hitter.
I'VE are well prepared for just such
a contingency. I am glad to be In
position to say there is not place
on the team into which we could not
put substitute at a moments notice.
Every substitute we have is we'll Mt
ted 10 play the position he was chosen
for and let me tell you we are gong
to give the Athletics the hardest run
they ever got when we meet them in
the coming series.
"Peor Smith is badly injured. but
the boys will acquit themselves IN
the championship series With re-
doubled efforts and we will see that
Smith will receive cheering news dur
ing the games. This will make up, in
part, for his inability to be even an
onlooker."
Captain Evers endorsed everything
that Manager Stallings had said. and
edded:
Don't think for mamemnt that
the loss of Smith will weaken our in

though such formula could not be ex-

Battle of River Disc

That the battle between the Allies and

Disc is growing more and more violent
Is the only statement that has been per-
mitted to winnow through the sieve of
official secrecy concerning the conditions
prevailing on that part of the long battle
line in France upon which the eyes OF
the world are focused. The cryptic re-
port of the French war office makes no
mention of whether progress Is being
made by either side in the zone where
for days the armies nave been battling
with extreme vigor for supremacy The
statement is made that the Allies have
gained little ground on the northern
heights of the Mouse.
The most important OF the changes is
the shifting of Gen. Won Hindenburg

cracow. He is succeeded in the field,
where he scored so brilliantly over the
