Ratified the Umpire.

Players throughout the American
league live under the impression that
Harry Coveleskie, the Tigers south
paw, can be ratified by the persistent
whistling, singing or playing Of "Silver
Threads Among the Gold.''
At different times this season oppos-
ing teams have tried to make the big
Pole slip by following up this practice.
They have yet to succeed, but ball
players are persistent individuals. -:
New York's Highlanders started the
tune when Coveleskie was pitching a
game at Detroit
All through the first inning they
whistled and sang and stamped their
feet in accompaniment A double play
pulled Coveleskie out of hole in the
first period and in the second the High
landers renewed their efforts.
Through the second inning and into
the third they went.
Coveleskie, intent on pitching, paid
no heed.
But behind the bat there was one
person who possessed nerves that were
not attuned to such music. This was
Billy Evans. The leagues best UNI
pire finally bawled:
"Cut that out, you fellows. What
dye think this is-a county fair?"

BRIEF STATEMEN 7
COMES FROM PARIS
French and English Armies Move
South and Southwest.

Washington, Sept. 2.-While the
whole world is awaiting definite news
from the battle line the French war
Office contents itself with the simple
statement that as result of the
turning movement of the German
army and in order not to accept bat
tie until favorable conditions arrive
the French troops again have retired.
From the British capital no word
is forthcoming regarding what are
considered the most momentous op-
erations of the war.
The official statement issued by the
war Office at Paris said:
"On our left wing as result of the
turning movement of the German
army and in order not to accept bat.
tie under unfavorable conditions our
troops retired toward the south and
southwest. In the region of Rethel
our forces have arrested the enemy
momentarily. In the center and on
the right the situation remains I'M

Golf Courses Costly.

There are not many persons outside
Of those on the inside Of the game of
golf who fully appreciate what amount
Of money it requires to establish a
golf course along thoroughly up to
date lines, nor to what extent a man
will delve into his personal fortune
for the sake Of gratifying his hearts
desire in the building Of links which
will rank among the best in the Sec
ton. Not long ago $50 Philadelphia
golfers were asked to subscribe $1,000
each that a new course could be built
in the Chestnut HUI section. When
the National Golf Links of America
was first projected at Shinnecock Hill,
N. Y, there were $1,000 subscriptions
obtained in sufficient number to bring
about the completion of a course now
ranked as the greatest in the world

CONTINUE TO DROP
\ BOMBS IN CAPITAL
Paris Reports German Airships
a.: DO No Damage.

Paris, Sept. 2.-War in the air is
to become reality, it is probable, as
a result of the decision of the French
war Office to give battle to the Ger
man aeroplanes that have been cast
ing bombs on the French capital for
the past: three days. An official state
ment announced the organization of a
squad of armored aeroplanes to give
chase to the German fiiers.
A German ,monoplane dropped two
more bombs into the streets ineffec-
tually. Earlier monoplane dropped
a bomb at the Rne Michodiere and
the Rue du Quatre Setembre, near the
Credit Lyonnais.
A gun mounted on the bank fired
four shells at the aeroplane and two
English infantrymen fired their rifles
repeatedly. Another bomb was
dropped near st. Lazare station
Neither bomb did any damage.

CAPTURE MANY AUSTRIANS
Russians Are Reported to Have Won
Notable Victory.

Paris, via London, Sept. IA Rome
dispatch to the Temps says the Rus
sian victory over the Austrians on
the Galician side was brilliant, the
right wing of the Austrian army hav-
ing been decisively turned and cut to
pieces, leaving 10000 prisoners in the
hands of the victors.
On the Vistula front, when the Rus
slams encountered the left wing, the
result was somewhat uncertain, but
the arrival of important reinforce
ments enabled the Russians to take A
vigorous offensive and repulse the
enemy. They captured large num-
Der of pieces of artillery.
The Russians, the dispatch adds, ex-
ecuted many bayonet charges against
the Austrians, which had large
share in deciding the issue of the bat
tie. Elsewhere the Germans, endeav-
oring to effect a junction with the
Austrians, sought to meet the Russian
attack with a counter offensive, but
were repulsed with losses.
