Sweets Injured thumb kept him
from behind the box again yesterday.
The digit is badly swollen and both

to do much work. He hopes to be
able to get back In his old place In
the next couple Of days.
Montgomery, the ST. Loulsian who
has been working on first base for q
couple of days, was released after
the game yesterday. "Monty's" weak
ness at bat, together with his ner-
vousness and lack of experience was
responsible for his getting the blue
slip.
Umpire Kennedy has been released
by President Justice and Boswell, for

him. Kennedys work has not pleased
the fans in the north lately and has
also caused much dissension among
the players. Boswell was injured last

 A report which lacks official con- firmation says that General Rennen- kampf, who withdrew over the East Prussian frontier when German re- Inducements arrived, has himself re- ceived more men and again taken the offensive and compelled the Germans, in their turn, to withdraw. It is considered probable the fall of Jaros- lau and the isolation of PrZemysl have compelled the Germans to look more closely to the protection of their line drawn from Thorn to KalicZ, which guards Posen, as the Russians are now able to release Q large num- Der for the invasion of that part of

 WoriImen at the new power house have had the use of but one small electric motor which came into use in dozens of different places about the job. Tomorrow and from then on there will be plenty of current for every need.
 The new powerhouse is rapidly nearing completion and will in all probability be in permanent opera ton before the first of the year. The rough installation work is practically completed and workmen are now en- gagged in rounding off the corners and putting on the finishing touches. The first generator will be tried out within a couple of weeks and from that time water will be gradually turned into the other new machines for their first trials. About thirty electricians and machinists and their helpers are now permanently em- plOyed on the job.
