The struggle for the possession
of the Belgian forts surrounding
Liege has recommended and re-
ports of artillery and cavalry en-
gagements are taken as indicat-
ing the possible beginning of a
great battle on Belgian soil.
The bulk of the German forces
is believed to be concentrated on
the frontier between Liege and
the Duchy of Luxembourg This
leads to the conclusion that Ger
many's frontier facing Russia
can be only lightly guarded prob
ably by newly organized armies
composed of reservists to the
colors.

The Germans are throwing
up intrenchments all the way to
Liege, Huy, Marche and Houfa-
lie from the points on the from
tier region held by the German
cavalry.
The German cavalry is NOV
ing eastward through the Ourthe
Valley. The French retreat from
Muelhausen in Alsace was well
carried out in the face of the
fact that the opposing German
forces were in proportion to four
Germans to one Frenchman. The
German field artillery proved far
inferior tc that of the French
and their shrapnel seemed only
indifferently well aimed"
TURNS DEFEAT TO VICTORY.
Paris, Aug. Is, (3:10, p. m.,)
An official report of the fighting
between the French and Ger
mans in the vicinity CT Pont-A-
Mousson, north of Nancy, issued
to-day. says:
"The fighting which started on
August II was continued on Aug
ust II under thrilling conditions
for the French. 1t may be sum-
med up as follows:
"The first phase was an attack
on two French battalions by Ger
man forces greatly superior in
number. The two French bat
talions fell back, but, being re-
enforced during the night, as
sumed the offensive well support
ed by artillery. This counter at
tack caused the Germans to re-
treat precipitately, leaving be-
hind them a large number of
killed, wounded and prisoners.
The Germans abandoned a bat
terry of artillery, three machine
guns and several wagon loads of
amuition.
''The French troops follow up
their advantage and on Wednes-
day a French battery surprised
the Twenty-frst Baden Dragon
Regiment, while the men were
dismounted. In few minutes
the regiment was destroyed.
''The effect of this double sue
cess was Immediately preceptible.
Not only was the forward move
ment of the German troops stop
ped, but their columns tell back,
closely followed by the French.
In the course of tn S pursuit, the
Frecnh found on hill and in
neighboring villages many Ger
man soldiers who had been
wounded in the fight on August
II. Nine German officers and
1000 wounded men fell into the
French hands as prisoners.
"The poor quality of the pro.
| jectiles used by the German
heavy artillery was convincingly
> demonstrated during the bonn
bardment o f Pont.A-Mousson.
More than 100 shells containing
enormous charges of explosives
weighing altogether 220 pounds
each, were fired from a battery
of rwenty-one-centimeter mctars
at distance of about six and
one. quarter miles. The total re-
suit of this avalanche of iron ex-
! plosives was four killed and
twelve wounded in the town."

TWO MORE TO WIN
IS BOSTON'S TASK
Pa9 1ea a@
Giants Gained Hall Game on
the Leaders by Double
Victory.

The experts have quit doping out
what Boston or New York must do
to win the National League pennant,
because, even though the Braves lose
all of their games, the Giants will
have TO win eight Of their nine re-
naming contests, which sounds i'm
possible. Then, again, Boston needs
to win only twice more and the flag
win belong to Stallngs's men. Pitts
burgh fell before New York twice
yesterday, while Boston defeated
Chicago in an exciting game. The
feature OF the Boston battle was the
game fight the Cubs put up, In the
ninth they threw big scare into
the Braves. With two men struck
out and none on in the final round,
James weakened and two runs were
crowded over and three left on the
bases when Heinie Zimmerman
forced the runner ahead at second
base. A very clever stop by Red
Smith made this play possible and
probably saved the day. Charley
Schmidt starred with the stick,
making four hits. Humphries was
driven to cover and label finished
the game for the Cubs. Boston got
six runs and eight hits off HUMPHREYS
in three innings
Fred Clarke, at New York. tried
out number of subs and the Giants
walloped the Pirates in both games
Mcquillan put up great battle
until he weakened late in the first
game. and the Giants fell on him for
four runs. ST.. Louis, meanwhile,
was beaten in Brooklyn, and Chi
cago lost at Boston, so the Giants
have snug lead over their rivals
for second place. The detailed stand

IN POOR CONTEST
New York Fighters Work in
Final Rounds Defeats Joe
Sklenar.

Knockout Sweeney. of New York,
defeated Joe Sklenar. of Bayonne, in
the main four-round bout at the
Central Institute last night. Both
boxers played for infighting more
than anything else, and the bout on
the whole was uninteresting. Neither
boy showed any sign of clevemess.
Sweeney was heavier and had a
longer reach than his opponent It
was this advantage chiefly that en-
abled the New York boy to win.
Sklenar was the aggressor in the
first two rounds, but Sweeney's work
in the remaining sessions gave him
the verdict.
Ed williams, a local heavyweight,
knocked out Frank Kern, of Eliza
beth. in the first round. A right to
the Jaw did the trick. When Horn
