CzAR BEATEN IN
CRACOW REGION
Russians Admit Reverse in
Southern Poland
CLAIM PLOCK IS RETAKEh
A Great Flanking Movement Is At
tempted by Russians to Cut German
Communications.

A dispatch from Petrograd says Il
is officially admitted there that the
Russian left wing in Poland is falling
back before an attack by the Austro
/ German forces.
(The Russian left wing is the sec
tion Of the cars armies that has been
for many days menacing Cracow, the
| fortified city known as the gateway
to Silesia." Previous reports from Pc
trOgrad even went so lar as to de
clare that this Russian army had
opened a bombardment Of Cracow)
A dispatch from Budapest says it is
officially announced there that the
Russians who invaded the Saros-Zem
plin district of Hungary are in full re
treat and that Hungarian
troops have entered Galician territory
at several points in pursuit.
According TO a news agency dis
patch from Petrograd the following
official statement was issued at Pc
trograd:
THE German offensive at LODI and
Lowicz has failed The question Of
the defense of LODI has lost its ur
gency."
(The agency says this announce
ment is considered as confirming the
fall of Lodz.)
The recapture of Plock, the Vistula
river town between Warsaw and
Wloclawek, by the Russians is an
nounced in a dispatch received in Pc
trograd from Warsaw.
This indicates that the right wing
Of the Russian forces, which ten days
ago reached Gombin, is engaged in a
banking movement aimed to cut of
The Germans railroad communication
with Thorn, their principal base in
Cast Prussia. The capture of Wlocla
yek would accomplish this aim. l
Plock is only twenty-seven miles
outheast of Wloclawek, but the Ger
mans are undoubtedly preparing to
light off this fanking movement, and {

BASEBALL MAGNATE
SUCCESS POSSIBLE


BY Hugh S. Fullerton.
Charlie Weeghman is the man who
made the Federal League. He not
only is the foremost figure in Amer
lean sporting life today, but he is a
model for all young Americans, and
a startling answer to those who de-
clare the day of opportunity for
large fortunes is past.
Ten years ago Weeghman had
nothing but a salary; hard-earned
knowledge of the restaurant bust
ness, and ambition. Today he has
palace, a dozen paying restaurants
in Chicago, a string of moving pic
ture playhouses, bakery or two,
lot of outside investments, two bill
lard halls, and he is the president
and principal owner of the Chicago
Federal League baseball club.
Weeghman is an interesting man.
He is young, about Sc, enthusiastic,
square, clear-headed and ne is just
starting.
Weeghman was born in Richmond,
Ind, and lived there until 1898, when
he decided to see the Worlds Fair in
Chicago. He saw the fair, and, broke
and happy, he adjourned to Cincin-
natl, where he secured a job in the
old Gibson House as a helper in the
diningroom. He never had been a
waiter. In two weeks he was as
sistant to the head waiter.
He managed to save enough that
fall to get back to Chicago, and again
he wanted job. The only thing he
