BORDEAUX, Oct. 5.-The concen-
tration of Germans in great strength
at Roye, as mentioned in the war office
statement yesterday, is explained by
the ease with which the commanding
generals discern the dispositions of
the enemy through aeroplane scouts
A very important factor in the win
ming of battles is surprising. The
aviators in the present war have made
this factor a negligible one. For this
reason the battle of the ,Aisne is con-
tinuing for an unprecedented time
The fighting at Roye this afternoon
resulted in the Germans being repuls-
ed with heavy losses.

(By Stanley T. Milliken.)

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-Much depends
in a worlds series as to which club
wins the first game Therefore specu-
lation is rife as to who Stallings will
send to the mound against the Ath-
letics next Friday. If the Braves
manager has fully made up his mind
regarding this matter, he is keeping
it to himself He refused to state to-
day, but did say that it would be either
James, Rudolph or Tyler.
On the outcome of the first game
will probably hinge the championship,
for in the past the club that has cap
tured the opening contest, has gen.
orally been the victor in the end. At
tendance and betting is likewise af-
fected
Stallings is placed in a different pc
sition from Mack in the coming base
ball classic. He must depend almost
entirely on his pitching staff. If they
fail him, he is gone. If they come
through, he has an excellent chance.
Therefore, this miracle man cannot
afford to make the mistake and choose
the wrong slabbist. He understands
the situation most thoroughly.
1t is the consensus of opinion among
the Braves that Rudolph will work in
the opening game, yet there are many
outsiders who are of the opinion that
it will be James. Stallings told the
writer this morning that James had
pitched his last ball game before the
world series.
This big fellow needs a rest" said
he, which might lead one to believe
that Stallings is printing him for the
opener. But the players say that Ru-
dolph is the man to oppose the Mack
men. They have great faith in this
midget boxman. Rudolph is a steady,
.heady and fine pitcher, but he is so
cpoolI tba+ II &c n Crae+;or NIB a+bor a.
has quite enough strength to stop that
battering ram offense of the Mackmen
There will be no chance for a rest
when a slabman faces the forces of
Mack. 1t means pitching from the top
to the bottom of the list Yet the
Braves believe that Rudolph will be
able to master TIE Mackmen. They
point out the fact that he has sub
dued other clubs with regularity and
that he will repeat when he meets the
champions of the American league
Rudolph is a bit larger than Jack
WARRIOR, of the Yankees, so enc might
imagine his height His delivery is
almost a duplicate of Joe Engels OF
the Nationals. Rudolph is spitball
pitcher, and mixes in this moist de-
livery with his fast one and curves.
Rudolph has stood the test under
heavy fire, and the Braves believe that
if he cannot win, it's fairly evident
that the others can't either So much
for Dick Rudolph, the midget mounds
man, who has been a potent factor in
pitching the Braves into champion
ship.

Two Of Which Are Lost In the

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London.-The German navy struck
and the wrecked remains OF three
British cruisers OF the first class are
lying somewhere in the depths OF the
North sea. Along with them are the
perforated hulls of two German sub
marines that we're members Of the
dotilla of FIVE which successfully as
baulted Great Britain's high sea feet
about 90 miles north OF the Hook Of
Holland.
1t is computed at Harwich that 700
men from the British cruisers we're
saved. Thirty uninjIred officers, sur
vivors of the three sunken warships,
arrived there. They had been rescued
from the water and wore improvised
clothing. Eighty other survivors we're
landed at Parkeston Quay, three miles
west OF Harwich.
AS the officers and crews of the
three ships totaled 2,265, II is estimat-
cd that the fatalities will exceed 1900.
THE Aboukir was torpedoed first"
adds the statement. THE Hogue and
Cressy drew in close to her and were
standing by to save her crew when
they also were torpedoed."
Survivors picked up by the trawlers
and the steamer Flores, arriving at
Ymuiden. Holland, reported that the
British fleet had restroyed two of the
five submarines which had sunk the
cruisers. The Flores bore 2S7 sur
vivors, who gave the first intimation
where the encounter occurred.
The Dutch steamer Titon picked up
ia survivors and some dead, most of
whom were taken aboard the British
torpedo boats.
The Lowestoft reported that another
ship of 10000 tons struck mine in
the North sea and was sunk. The
identity of the vessel could not be de-
termined by the Lowestoft, and the
official press bureau failed to confirm
the report.
