MISS WAGNER LEADING
FOR TENNIS TITLES
Indoor National Champion Favored
for Three Metropolitan
Events.

NEW. YORK, September 24.-Miss
Marie Wagner. the indoor national
tennis champion, bids fair to add the
| metropolitan titles to her other hon.
ors. In yesterdays play for the sin
giles championship on the courts of
the West Side Tennis Club at Forest

tory over Miss Florence Ballin at 60.
6-1. The national champion was
rather fortunate In catching Miss Bal
lin far below her form, and was not
ponent won only one game in the two
sets.
Miss Wagner will oppose Mrs. L.
Raymond in the upper section. while
Miss Clare Cassel and Mrs. George De
Gersdorf will be the opponents in the
lower section of the draw. Mrs. Ray
| mond defeated Miss Hess in straight
sets at 81, 81. Miss Cassel earned
her position in the round before the
semi finals through victory over Miss
Bladgen, while Mrs. De Gersdorf came
through a hard match with Mrs. d. c.
Mills, 4-6, g., 6-3. The best match
of the round was between Mrs. De
Gersdorf and Mrs Mills, in which the
latter captured the first set, but fell
away and lost the match when victory
for her appeared reasonably certain.
Miss Wagner was paired with Miss
Cassel in the doubles and scored an
easy victory over Miss Gertrude Della
Tore and Mrs. Robert LIE Roy. The
winners put up a sterling defensive
game and a varied attack which over
whelmed their opponents and left no
doubt as to the ultimate result of the
contest from the first game. BY their
victory Miss Wagner and Miss Cassel
will oppose Miss Goldman and Miss
Helen Bernard in the first match OF
the semi-final round.

Commission to Make Arrange

GRIFFITH STILL THINKS -

CLEVELAND, September '24.-Finaf
arrangements for the coming worlds
series will be hurried. now that it is
an assured fact that Boston has won
the National League pennant The dual
defeat of the New York Giants at the
hands of the st. Louis Cardinals yes
terday insures the Braves of the PEN
nant, notwithstanding that the Cincin-
natl Reds, after losing eighteen
straight, managed to beat them in the
final game of yesterdays double e-header.
True, the Athletics lead has been cut
fve-and-a-halfg game advantage over
than a niathemiatical chance for the
champions TO be. beaten to the wire.
The national commission may wait d
day. or so longer before making any
official announcement anent the worlds
series, for the supreme court of base
ball does not want to appear in a po-
sition where it is anticipating pennant
winners. but it is sure quietly to make
all arrangements for the worlds series
within the next few days, and withhold
the public announcement until such
time as both apparent winners have
their positions cinched.
Manager Griffith refuses to believe
that the Athletics have a cinch. He
thinks that the five-and-a-h -half-game
lead which the champs are holding is
not sufficient to give them any assur-
anee. and that for this reason the
players will feel that they are still
uHter fire and there is still chance
to beat them. Griffith, it goes without
saying, will do everything within his
power to give the Athletics a setback
when his team meets them for four
games next week. He trusts to have

BY splitting even yesterday,
while the Giants dropped two

lead to six full games, and only
4 very surprising reversal of
form can keep the Braves from

eight out of it's remaining six,

II Boston wins ten out of six

LIKE PANIC STRICKEN MOB
Russian Account of Retreat Of First
German Army.

London, Sept. 16.-The Morning
Posts Petrograd correspondent says:
"The first German army, which has
been stiffened by several divisions,
virtually has ceased to exist. The Ger
mans are retreating like a panic
stricken mob. The Russians have
crossed the lower reaches of the Riv-
er San without opposition.
with the Russians already south
of the San river the significance of
Przemysl and the other strongholds
of the district has been discounted.
These fortresses were intended to
cover the great triangle between the
Vistula and San river and the Car
pathian mountains.
"They have proved useless for that
purpose, and the question now is
whether the beaten and demOralized
armies can even reach safety at Cra-

WILSON ISSUES ORDER
Troops Will Leave as Soon as
Ships Are Available.

Washington, Sept. 16.-President
Wilson announced the withdrawal OF
the United States army and naval
forces from the Mexican port Of Vera
Cruz. This action marks the COM
plete triumph of the administrations
policy with respect to Mexico
1t was taken only when full and
convincing evidence had been given
of the permanencysof the peace which
has been established in Mexico and OF
the intention of the elements now
dominant in the Southern republic to
establish reforms which will open
new era of liberty to the Mexican
populace. This expresses the view of
the Democratic leaders.
The American soldiers and marines
under General Funston, who have
held Mexico's principal seaport since
it was seized by the fleet April FL, will
embark for home as soon as trans
ports can go after them and soon
after all the war fleet except a few
light draft vessels will be withdrawn.
The order for evacuation was an
nounced formally at the White House
after long cabinet meeting. 1t is the
concluding chapter Of the second
armed conflict between the United
States and Mexico, in which a score
of Americans lost their lives, nearly
100 were wounded and upward of 300
Mexicans were killed or wounded.
President Wilson, in announcing
that he had ordered the withdrawal
of the war forces of this government,
said "the action is taken in view of
the entire removal of the circum-
stances which were thought to justify
the occupation
The negotiations with General Car
government of Mexico, and with Gen
eral Villa. whose leadership was
largely responsible for the victories of
the Constitutionalist armies, were
conducted for the United States by
Paul Fuller.
Assurance given Mr.. Fuller by the
two chief figures in the Mexican re-
public with regard to their own rela
tions and to the purposes which they
intend to carry out in the immediate
future for the good of their country
convinced President Wilson that il
was his duty to remove from the at
mosphere in which these leaders are
called on to work the humiliation OF
the American troops presence at their
chief port.
