Special By United Press Wire
Petrograd, Dec. 12:-The at
tempts of the Austro-German forces
south of Cracow to break the Russian
lines resulted in complete rout.
Thousands of dead were left on the
fields and Russians remained COM
plete masters of the situation.
The Army Messenger, official or
gan of the war office, today makes
this claim concerning operations on
the southern front: The Austrians
were heavily reinforced by Germans
and directed an energetic attack on
the Russian lines. They were re-
pulsed and the trick was turned into
hasty and disordered fight. Five
batteries were captured and an en-
tire column of armored motor cars
taken.'
The efficiency of the Russians in
bringing down German aeroplanes is
cited by the Army Messenger Two
reconnoitering aeroplanes were
brought down by Russian guns Tues
day.

Australia Makes Bid
For Honors in OIympics

NEW YORK. April 30.-That Australia
intends to make a bid for the honors
at the next Olympic games at Berlin
is evident from a letter received yester-
day by James f.. Sullivan from c. s.
Marks Of Sydney. The Australians are
proceeding on much greater scale
than ever before. and ii is expected
that team Of at least fifty men will
represent the land of the Couthern
Cross. Fund committees have been
started in each of the states. which will
report to combined Australasiau
Olympic committee. This body will
consist of two delegates from each
State and Dominion of New Zealand
and will deal with all matters Of Sc
lection and finance. 1t is estimated
that the cUst OF scr,tifnr= the team Will
I've $4,000, and as liberal assistance is
expected from the Federal and State
governments the committee believes
that il will have little difficulty in
finding the money. No one will be sent
unless he has winning chance. and
an endeavor will be made TO have Aus
tralia represented in Watching, swim
ming. athletics. cycling, rowing. shoot
ing. boxing. tennis and riding.

PITCHERS
HURT THE CURVERS
George Moriarity, Tiger Veter-
AN, Says on This Account
They Should Be Barred.


DETROIT. Mich, April sn--It would
rot be pad IDEA to pass rule 2gainst
the spitball. Capt. George Moriarty,
of the Tigers. thinks this should be done
and Manager Hugh Jennings agrees
with him.
TITS tough for a curve ball pitcher
to work against a fellow with a splitter,
says the Detroit captain. The spitban
HEAVIER gets the ball wet and kepps on
adding moisture as the innings roll on.
Pretty soon it Is almost impossible to
handle the ball.
You take a curve ball pitcher and
he's got to get a grip on that TALL in
order to make his curves break right,
and how can any pitcher get a tight
hold after a spitball hurler has been
fussing over the sphere for tive or six
innings? IL is impossible.
1T is TO more than right that rule
should be passed by the league and UNI
pires given authority to allow pitchers
10 demand and receive a new ball.

By THOMAS KIRBY.

The finest specimen Of physical
man among the Nationals Is Ed
ward Ainsmith.
From the time he was trotting
about in short trousers in Cam
bridge Ainsmith has participated In
every branch OF athletics that has
come under his observation. He
has played football. basketball. and
hockey. but IL was on the diamond
that he has made his greatest bid
for fame.
Ainsmith went through Colby
Academy. and in 1907 was on the
threshold of Colby College when his
baseball work had attracted the at
tention of the Toronto club. which
proffercd him a contract He was
sent back marked IN. Co." but Jer-
seq City saw possibilities In the
backstop and got him; 1908 found
him with Lawrence in the New Eng
League. In the summer of 1910
while on a still hunt. Mike Rahoe
ran afoul of Ainsmith. and bought
his release from Owner Arundel

The player reported at once and
ever since has been paired as the
battery partner of Walter johnson.
Ainsmith is twenty-five years Of
age and during the past winter
married a Texas girl.

Holland came to the Washington clrb
with Wally Smith and Slim Love. He
made good impression during the IN
clement weather in Charlottesville. but

needed little more experience before

Griff's taking Holland and is probably
responsible now for the demand from

his first ball game for the Los Angeles

Of the Los Angeles Exeminer, writes
Of the game as follows:
Long Tom Huges, so called be-
cause he was pitching ball the day Fort
Sumter was fired on, and because the
watery eyed veteran stands something
like twenty-one hands high in his work
ing shoes, heaved his first game in the
p. c. L. The old timer has little left
but an occasional convulsion of speed
and faith in prayer. He was going

ought to tear 1t down. The rent he
gets Is his main indncemeht to keep
the building standing. He has but
little invested and the rent he gets Is
comparatively enormous. He can not
see the wisdom Of doing away with q
shack the annual rent for which
amounts to more than the worth Of
the building. AS long as he can rent
a s.. 900 property to some one for
$500 a year he is unwilling to tear
It down and erect new building.
Thus, he maintains a menace to the
entire business section and a FIRE in
his shack may mean q confiagration.
Public interests are risked to main
tan private interests.
In this respect one Washing ton,
Pa, newspaper sensibly says:
These old wooden buildings should
go. That Is all there Is to It. OF
course many will at once object and
call attention to the money tied up in
them. But the interests and safety OF
the enire community are Of more
value than the personal interests Of

mitted to stand in the heart Of the

THE POCKET HAND HEATER.

Among this years winter novelties,
there Is one -of French design which
will prove q vel acceptable luxury
to all who finch before the biting
outdoor cold. This invention is de-
noted pocket hand heater, though
1t can be applied with equal facility
to any shrinking surface. The little
comforter is planned especially for
women, who, 1t is intended, shall
carry the thing in their NUTS. Men,
equally or more sensitive to cold,
will find it valuable pocket side
issue.
The hand heater consists Of an
outer and inner metal tube. The de-
vice is readily taken apart, both tubes
being closed by a screw cap and bot
tom. In the inner tube, there is a
stout wick, filed with benzine, which
supplies the heat. One end OF this
wick extends into cap of asbestos
and is lighted. The asbestos Is
brought to an incandescent heat
without flame and then, the innel
tube is enclosed in its metal case, q
cap is fitted, and over this still an
other, which last is perforated to
permit the heat circulation.
