Sox Pitching Is Weak, So the Batters
Come to the Front.

Yesterday was Arbor Day, and in
many school yards trees we're planted
by the pupils, and there was -consid-
erably joy and good feeling over the
event.
But these tree paintings were
.sman-time stuff compared to the
trusty ash that John Collins planted
against one of George Collamore's
shoots in the ninth inning of the Sox-
Nap game yesterday, winning the
fourth straight combat for the Sox,
and making, incidentally, the fourth
in which Collins has had a share in
scoring the winning run.
The smash resulted in a homer aft
er two were, and united the score
which Jack Lelivelt had joined in the
first half of the inning on a triple and
a wild throw by Weaver.
The first three games of the Nap
series brought out some stellar pitch
ing from the Sox shooters, Yesterday
it was the swatsmen who did the
work, as the pitching was decidedly
off color.

Sox. He was hit hard, and suffered
from Witness, wild-pitching over one
Nap run. Reb Russell relieved Faber
in the fifth and was small improve
ment He was not hit hard, but was
cratic and helped the Maps to two of
their runs off him by loony throws,
One was too low for Schalk and the
other was three-base throw past
first on a grounder from Jackson.
SchaIk was charged with two pass
ed balls, both of which were costly.
They might have been placed to the
discredit of the pitchers and.no injus-,
tice would have been done. Ray was
kept busy hopping around his terri
tory stopping the weird slants Of

Willie Richie has again proved
himself peer of modern ightweights.
Harlem Tommy Murphy, veteran
of many battles, was unable to stand
before the young champion in San
Francisco last night. Murphy man
aged to last the twenty rounds, but
at the finish was a badly shattered
and soundlY beaten man.
Gameness and ability to take a
flood of punishment enabled the New
Yorker to stick to the end, but he
was beaten all the way. Richie had
a wide margin in II rounds, two were
even, and Murphy might have been
given slight edge in one.
Tommy managed to hit the cham
pion, but his blows lacked steam and
had no effect. On the other hand,
Richie ripped home his right and left
with telling effect and brought blood.
This means the passing of Murphy
as crown contender. He>has had his
first and last try at the title. 1t came
too late for him to seize it.
Ping Bodie has been sued for $500
damages by a local theater because
he refused to fulfill stage contract

 While the extent and the comp'"t"- ness of the German defeat were no, that tell of his reverses however, say that German endorsements were be- known here the very fact thai G"H von Hindenburg had been checked was by far the biggest feature of to- day's war news. The same dispatches ing brought up, so that another great battle is likely to develop on line nearer the frontier of Posen, where the Germans will have the same chances of renewing a vigorous often sive as had the Russians in the pres ent instance.
 General von Hindenburg has abou 4OO, ,OOO men, but if the Petrograd re port can be accepted, they have beer saparated, badly cut up and thous ands captured, so these German force! will require reformation and rest.

Little Rock, Nov. 26.-"Therc will be no trouble in the mi.'cng district of Sebastian county" stated Paul Lit tie, circuit judge, who was in Littla Rock on Tuesday, accompanied by Ezra Hester, county clerk, attending to business with Gov. Hays, until the United States troops are removed. Then we may expect a repetition of the rioting which caused the destruc- tion of much mining property.
 "The United States marshal at Fort Smith admitted his inability to cope with the situation when troops were asked for, consequently the state and county officials should not be con- demnad for failing to preserve the peace. I was prosecuting attorney at the time the mines were destroyed, but how could I prevent 5000 Or 1000 men going to a place a number Of miles from where lay asleep. and burning the propertyo The sheriff was powerless also. Everything is peaceful there now, but it will not be. twenty-four hours after the troops are withdrawn"

Paris. Nov. 24.-Slackening of the German action was noted all along the battle front of France and in Flanders today. Even the cannonad- ing to which the German offensive has been restricted almost entirely since the excessive cold settled over the battle area, is now becoming in- termittent, and wherever infantry at tacks nave been ventured they lacked the spirit which characterized the efforts of the invaders week ago.
 The French right wing today bore the brunt of the German counter at- tacks.
 In the Argonne tho infantry as- saults directed by the German forces against the allies trenches were vfo- lent, but the French defenders ably withstood the pressure. giving q good account of themselves. Every attack was repulsed. At several points the French gain ed considerable ground. At Ford du Paris a vigorous assault was met by French entrenchad forces of infer for strength and the Germans, after maintaining furious bombardment or the French positions. attempted by desperate charge of massed troops to overwhelm the trenches. but the French artillery cut great gaps in their ranks and the quick-firing guns finished them off until their front was broken and the German commander ordered their withdrawal. This was accomplished in some disorder. Many German dead and wounded were lef' on the field in front of the French trenches.
 At St. Mihiel, and at the approaches of St. Marie Pass, the Germans still threaten the French positions wiff vigorous artillery fire but they appar ently lack the strength requisite tt a show of force by infantry attacks.
 In the Vosges region a blanket O fog obscured the enemy's position ant Ia truce practically is in effect.
 Flanders still is storm-bound. al though the German guns continue t' pour their shrapnel and solid shot m to Ypres. Little damage is beini done. The French artillerymen a
 Ypres are daily demonstrating thei {, superiority over the Germans.
 There are many evidences of activi
 ty on the German front. but today n' movement of any consequent was as temrted.

FOREST FIRES
 RAGE UNAbA1ED
Only Heavy Rain Will Check Flames Rapidly
 Sweeping Thru Woods.

Little Rock, Nov. 24.-Reports to- night indicate little change in the forest fire situation in Arkansas. Damage has bee nconfined largely to- timber
 :. The smoke cloud which lifted last night, again settled over the city to- night and it is impossible to see more than two or three blocks. Reports indicate similar conditions through out the state. The only hope of ex tinguishing the fires is a general rain and the weather bureau offers little encouragement, That any consider able setback was given the fires by rains that fell in some portions of the state was not indicated in reports tonight.
 Hot Springs, in west Central Ar kansas appears to bt in danger from fires on the mountain slope to the South. Batesville, in north Arkan' sas, 'Wynne, in the East, and Magno lia, in the Southwest, reported fires in the timber districts.
 From Oklahoma came reports o | fires in the southwestern part of tht state, which are sweeping over thu Kimachi mountains and through Lt Fibre and McCurtain counties. l Tt was said the fires were spread ing in the forest of Caddo parish, La. having jumped across the Arkansas 1 line last night. It is believed b! forest rangers that only heavy rail will check the spread of the fires, a the wooded districts are said to b' very dry and the flames will sweel through them rapidly.
