Big League Teams
Have New Pilots

New York, Feb. 2l.-The selection
of Hank. O'Day to succeed Johnny
Evers as manager of the Chicago
Cubs makes four new pilots naemd
to lead big league teams on the field
when the gongs sounds, April IA. The
other new managers are: Wilbert
Robinson of the Brookly Superbas,
Charley Herzog Of the Cincinnati
Reds and Branch hickey of the st.
Louis Browns. Hickey took charge
Of the Browns late last season and
this spring will have the first oppor-
tunity to pilot his team from the start
of the race.
The work OF the veteran Wilbert
Robinson will likely be watched
most closely by the fans. Robinson
was coach of the New York Giants
for several years and is classed as a
graduate of the McGraw school of
baseball management. If lobby sue.
ceeds in transporting the McGraw
methods to the other end of the big
bridge the Brooklyn fans will surely
enjoy a fine baseball season.
! Robinson is in his forty.ifth year
and a native of Massachusetts. His
first professional engagement was in
1885, with the Haverhill team of the
New England league. From 1886 to
1890 he was with the Philadelphia
Athletics, at that time in the Ameri-
can association. He went to Bali
more in 1891 and remained there I'M
til 1904, with the exception of one
year that he was with the st. Louis
Nationals. As q member of the cham.
pion Baltimore Orioles Robinson
showed the stuff that placed him
among the star backstops of tho big
leagues. During the three years that
the Orioles COPIED trhee remnants
in a row Robinson did the bulk OF the
work behind the bat. He was also
there: with, the stick, batting for an
average OF $40 in 1894 and 1854 in
1896.
AS a coach and as a developer of
young pitchers Robinson has no SUI
perior in baseball. 1t was doubtless
his ability along these lines that in
fucnced his selection as manager of
number of youngsters on it's pitching
staff.

Chicago Cubs. is also a veteran of the

French Study War
Reports With Care
By Associated Press

Paris, Oct. "a, 6.55 A. M.-Attention
remained fixed to-day on the terrific
struggle on the plain of Flanders, and
other points on the long battle line in
France received secondary considera-
ton. Frenchmen as usual studied the
war office statement with the greatest
care and although they are impatient
for a conclusion apparently they are
as confident as ever.
Independent of the contest in the
north actions in other sections serve
to strengthen the position of the op-
posing sides. Some of these while ap-
pearing separate are in reality COM
bined, such as that between the from
tier of the east and that of the Ar
gonne. This has for it's purpose the
control of the vicinity of Verdun and
the formation there of a base for ar
offensive movement. The arrival of a
French force at Brabant-Sur-M Meuse
near Consevoye, at the heights OF
Montfaucon where the crown prince
is entrenched, is a new element added
to the chain of the allies strengthened
in this district.

Emperor William Is
Said to Be Very Ill

Paris. Oct. 24.-Rumors from vari-
Gus sources keep coming to affirm the
report that the kaiser is in very
serious condition of health. 1t is also
affirmed that the imperial relations
with some of the leading generals at
staff headquarters are distinctly
strained.
Had the kaiser's orders been obeyed
the retreat from Marne would have
ended in total disaster for the Ger
mans. The kaiser does not think so,
and severely upbraids the leaders for
not carrying out his views. On meet
ing one of his best men who had been
obliged to fall back the emperor
greeted him with:
You fell back and yet you're still
alive"
All the staff resents this as a per-
sonal reflection upon their courage,
and, Notwithstanding all their loyalty
and the extreme Difference always
shown the kaiser. more than one bitter
word has escaped their lips.
The kaiser's great fear now is said
to be assassination. Wherever he has
taken quarters quick-firers are placed
in and around the premises and big
guns are trained on all approaches.
If possible. nobody is allowed to come
within 200 yards. Searchlights are
mounted and troops keep guard night
and day.
Even in war times the emperor
cannot forego his love of parade. His
staff still numbers 800 or 400 officers.

New York, Oct. 24.@After having

Germans Ready to Hurl
Their Full Strength
Against Allied Forces
SteeiaI to The Telegraph


London, Oct. "a, 1902 A. M.-What
German military expert has called
a life and death struggle for Germany
is still raging along the coast end OF
the western battle front and every in
dication shows that the invaders are
hurting their full strength against the
allies in a determined effort to capture
Dunkirk and Calais.
Strange reports come from various
captured cities in Belgium of the
evacuation or the preparation for de-
parture of the German forces holding
them. but these movements may
merely mean that every available man
Is being thrown forward to the Franco
Belgian frontier and does not neces-
sarily forecast the abandonment OF
positions occupied by the Germans.
Antwerp is said to have been prac-
tically deserted by the Germans and
the wives of German officers in Brus'
sells are said to have received orders
to leave within forty-eight hours.

Most Desperate Battle
of War Being Fought
By Associated Press

London, oct. "a, LIS p. M.-Super-
latives have been so frequently used
in the attempts to describe the engage
ments of the present war that the
emphasis of such terms as most des-
perate" and universal has been
weakened by daily use; but to-day, as
if by mutual agreement, both German
and British newspapers characterize
the conflict along the front from Lille
in France to the Belgian seaboard as
the greatest struggle of all.
London newspapers were quick to
sieze the suggestion of a German mill
tary expert as cabled here from Berlin
that this is a critical conflict Whether
this be so or not. it is contended that
the outcome is likely to decide the
future of German operations in
France. Reinforcements of 60O,O
men are said to have been rushed to
the German right wing, and it seems
no exaggeration to say that these op-
erations spell the supreme effort of
the invaders to break through the
allies line.
Being denied the use of warships,
which have been rendering good serv-
ice for the allies. Germany is said to
| be throwing her air craft, and par
ticularly Zeppelins, more and more
into the fray, and news dispatches
relate that the operations of Zeppelins
have been a marked feature of the
! fighting to the southwest of Ostend,
| toward which seaport the troops OF
France, England and Belgium are said
to be working their way.
This, in brief, Is a broad view OF
the situation in France and Belgium
from the English standpoint. Which
| side had the advantage when dawn
| broke or when noon came or which
will have 1t when the sun sets will not
| be known except to the general STATS
| of the opposing armies. All the public
| will know, barring something unfore-
! seen in the nature of a catastrophe
| to one army or the other, will be that
the terrific artillery duel near the
| Belgian coast has continued and the
| other side was pushed back only t.
advance there as was explained II
! the official communication issued II
! Paris last night.
That the Russians generally speak
| ing, continue to hold the upper hand
in the eastern arena OF the war is the
gist of most of the dispatches reach
| ing London, and, accepting this as
true, England thinks that the putting
| of Germany in defensive in this ter
| ritory will prevent her from trans
| ferring any forces to the western
arena, plan so often discussed during
the early stages of the war.
| London newspapers are treating as
significant the withdrawal of German
troops from Antwerp and Brussels, but
| these movements would appear to be
| only part of Germany's plan of rein
forcing her fighting line.
The dragnet for Germans and Aus
trians in the British Isles is still spread
| out, but there has been a temporary
lull in these for the lack of adequate
| detention camps
