In the World of Sport

severely the hard luck demon rejoices
further over the inability of Wilkes to
play. The clever shortstop is suffering
with an infiamed thumb, having run
a silver into that member, and is now
a steady patient of one Of the local
doctors. Although he will probably be
in today's game against the Owatonna
club, he was unable to play yesterday.
During both workouts Thursday, re-
CARELESS of their being bundled in

plainly that they were suffering from

Colonel Curtis Is much pleased with
one of his recruit pitchers, in Frank
Barr, who, as a member Of the Win
dom and Owatonna teams last year,
was the semi-pro sensation Of this

great factor in keeping the Peggers

Grand Forks has been pinning

runner rounding third will be repeal
ed before another season If the rules
committee will listen to Manager Birm-
ingham Of the Cleveland Americans.
The Nap manager is opposed to the
new rule as it now stands. He has the
support of Manager Jimmy Callahan
of the White Sox.
There Is sound excuse for a rule
which bars tackling runners and the
use Of similar tricks at third base to
prevent a putout." said Birmingham.
Il will admit the new rule was de-
signed to cover such cases, but the
umpires are interpreting it too strict
ly. There can be no harm in a coach
err stepping forward and touching a
runner as he comes into a base. Sig
nails and instructions are often given
in this way"

Did Not Destroy.

London.-A Reuter- dispatch from
Paris says Theibault SESSION. art crit
ic OF the Temps, has visited the ca
thedral at Rheims and gives the fol-
lowing description of the structure as
it now stands:
ITO Judge the damage it was neces-
sary to ascend the towers. There !
saw the bells completely melted, the
roof Of lead plates had disappeared,
the magnificent campanile of wood
and lead erected at the crossing of
the transepts and apse had vanished.
The vaults are standing and the nave
was not touched by fire."
The writer thinks, however, that the
autumn rains and frost will play hav.
oc with the stones, and that measures
must be taken Immediately to
strengthen the walls. He concluded
by quoting the words Of the German
emperor's son to the Rheims munich
pality few days before the lombard
ment; "The best proof of my desire
not to touch the building is that / am
anxious to put the wounded inside"

London.-For the first time since
the beginning OF the war news BY
eminent through the EifYel tower sta
ton was received in London Monday
night. The message dated September
%. follows:
Feeling that their position was be-
coming more and more critical under
the pressure OF the allies arms, the
Germans have tried to stop us by re-
peated counter attacks. Since Septem.
Der &c they have delivered by day and
night frequent and very violent at
lacks at several positions on our front.
Everywhere they have been repulsed,
sustaining considerable loses and
abandoning thousands OF dead and
wounded
The Eighth army corps and the
guards were severely put to the test
and large number of prisoners fell
into our hands. 1t is to be remarked
that many of the latter gave up volun-
tarily, although they could have
escaped.
1T seems that the German soldiers
are beginning to have no further doubt
as to the treatment which awaits
them in captivity. At the beginning
all those We captured had a terrified
and duplicating attitude arising out
OF statements made by their officers
to the effect that the French shot
, their prisoners. 1t is rather by an ex-
cess OF kindness that we transgress In
regard to them and the too kindly
treatment which is melted out to pris-
oners in certain districts Of France
has even evoked complaints. which
occasionally have been justified on
the part of all those who know how
our men are treated in Germany"

very violent attacks. We have made
some slight progress on the heights of
the Meuse. In the Woevre region a
thick fog has caused a suspension of
operations.
Third. On our right wing Uor-
raine and the Vosges) there has been
no change in the situation"
A resident of Maubeuge, who had
been a prisoner, but later escaped,
states that Maubeuge was three-quar-
tiers burned by the Germans. The
forts resisted for a long time the
assaults of 10000 men.
The prolongation OF the tension on
the two lines of fire and death front
ing each other on the Aisne must have
! become insupportable to the Germans.
since reports indicate that they have
changed their tactics and attacked
with the bayonet The opinion is ex-
pressed here that General Joffre's
master hand is shown in this, as it is
believed he has succeeded In pushing
his lines inside the range of the dead
ly heavy German guns and forced the
enemy to hand-to-hand fighting.
The British on the left wing have
repulsed for days the attacks Of the
Germans. who have been endeavoring
to take the allied position by assault
The British, however, did not bear
the brunt of the fighting-for the
French troops. including a division of
the famous Colonial infantry, the
Turcos, battalions of French regi-
ments and territorial troops, also
faced successfully prolonged and
fierce attacks.
Since the attacks have been repuls-
ed over the whole line, according to
the official communications. the mill
tary experts here cannot see now
what resources the German emperor S
! generals can call on to retrieve their
! fortunes. The Matin expresses the
opinion that the new troops the al
lies found fronting them on the left
We're not from the German left wing,
but are part of the forces detached
after Charleroi and sent east to Brus-
sells. but now proceeding west The
general opinion is that the battle has
reached the most critical as we'll as
the most violent phase and that the
issue cannot be delayed much longer
The losses Of the last few days on
both sides are said to exceed all other
engagements of the war. Stories have
reached here from Belgium that the
Germans. unable to bury their dead m
the field. have shipped them behind
the army by train loads, in order to
avoid epidemics.
