Today 5 MOVES
. IN THE WAR ZONE,
What THEY MEAN
BY J. W. II. MASON,
Former European Manager Of the
United Press.


NEW YORK. Nov. 1O.-England's
double naval victory over the Emden
and the Koenigsberg tells the same
story as the defeat of Admiral Grad
ock's squadron off Chile. Success at
sea. when a stand-up fight is under
way, depends upon the calibre of
the guns.
The Emden was cornered In the In
dian Ocean by the Sydney. which
mounts eight 6-inch guns against the
kmden's ten 4-inch guns. In addi-
tion. the Sydney has a speed of 26
knots an hour which is 1 IL knots
faster than the Emden. Thus the
British vessels should have been able
4 to keep beyond the range of the Ger
man guns, while firing her own rifles.
The Chatham, which has brought
the Koenigsberg to bay, Is a half-sis-
ter to the Sydney and the Koenlgs-
berg bears the same relationship to
the Emden. The Chatham has a main
armament OF eight 6-inch guns. while
| the Koenigsberg mounts ten 4.1-inch
| guns. Each vessel Is a knot slower
than its half-sister but the proper
tionate speed Is the same Thus,
\ when the Chatham encountered the
/ Koenigsberg. the latter couldn't run
away, and would have great difficulty
I getting within range with her smaller
artillery
Both German captains seem to have
adopted the same tactics under this
handicap. Unable to fight on equa
terms and willing TO surrender they ap'
parently ran their cruisers ashore They
I, have thus saved the lives of their crew
z while preventing their ships falling int
\ the enemy's hands.

Germans RepuIsed in
Battle Along The Ypres

BY United Press staff Correspondent.
PARIS. Nov. 1O.-Repulse Of the
German advance in the regions of
Bixschote. Ypres and Armentieres
was announced in todays 3 o'clock
report. 1t was declared that fighting
continues with unabated violence be-
tween Armentieres and the sea. both
sides clashing in offensive move
ments. South Of Ypres, French sue
cess in repulsing the German offen-
sive was particularly marked.
Elsewhere along the battle front
the statement declared that there
were few changes.
British warships are again report
ed to be supporting the allied left
wing.
In the determined attack being
made by the Germans, Ypres is de-
clared to have been reduced to a
mass of ruins. Not a single inhabi-
tant remains in the town. Public
buildings have been sent crashing
down before the shells of the attack
ing forces. The Cathedral of st. Mar
tin is reported badly damaged.
There is little doubt that the fight
ing about Ypres which has been in
progress almost constantly for nearly
two weeks may prove the bloodiest of
the war to date. Heavy losses have
been suffered among the British and
French from the German shell fire
and owing to the repeated assaults
made by the Germans their losses
are much greater The Germans con-
tinue 10 attack in massed formation,

OF the Lightweight Champions,
Cans Only One Who Died Game

Way back on the night of Sept. 9,
1908, a tired looking little colored
man lay buddled up on a cot at the
Sultan Baths in San Francisco talk
ing to group of newspapermen.
Joe Cans, for six years the worlds
lightweight champion was saying
goodbye to the ring. A few hours
previous Joe had gone in a heap to
the floor of the Colma arena and had
sat propped up on one hand while
being counted out before his old
rival, Battling Nelson.
"The ole Battler is a wonder" said
the defeated man. Two months ago
he beat me TO the title an thought
l could come back, but it was a mis-
take He's too tough TO me. / guess
I'm through boxin', but l want TO wish
Nelson all the good luck that can
come to him. He beat me fairly, and
t. wi be a long time befo' the game
gets another man like him"
Joe Cans "Dead Game"
This talk by the Baltimore boxer
is recalled at this late hour for a
reason. Cans dead game" The
holder that we have had since.
In the Point Richmond ring on
Feb. %, 10, Ad Wolgast defeated Nell
son for the 133-pound championship.
A terrible fight, that 4O-round affair,
and Wolgast beat Nelson at his own
game. The younger man battled the
veteran until every ounce of Nelson's
wonderful stamina had been sapped.
From Nelson came a wall that
, whined from San Francisco to New
York and back again. He dubbed
Wolgast "The Cheese Champion" "
For two years Nelson did everything
within his power to belittle Wolgast
in the eyes of the public. AS a
champion Nelson had been a big"
man. In defeat the Dane shrunk to a
small-sized bad loser
As champion Wolgast was credited
/ with earning over 100000. He
proved one of the greatest fighters
the game has ever known, whipping
! his way through a deadly dangerous
lot of challengers, including such
men as Brown, Memsic, Lagrave, Ho-
gan. Burns, Moran and Rivers. But
when Ritchie was declared champion
Wolgast's squeal was heard the
| length and breadth of the land.
Ad called his conqueror "The Rib
bon Counter Champ" and, to this
day, when Willie Ritchie's name is
mentioned within his hearing VOL
CAST will resort tc what he intends

cisively whipped by Charley White

the Chicagoan, Ritchie's yelp was To

Ritchie's head.

Base RUNNING Theory
Gets Severe JOLT
Giants Run Wild on Sacks,
While Boston Braves Very
Rarely Do Any Pilfering

In this festive game of Swat it ap-
pears that grand young theories are
only born to be exploded.
It has been one of the advanced
theories of past seasons that success
in baseball depends more upon base
running than anything else-or at
least that base running was one Of
the most important of all arts.
The three-year success of the
Giants was attributed in the main to
their base-running margin. And it
may be so. But in graphing again
with the highly elusive statistics we
come to this discovery-that while
no club in the older league has
Travelled at the rapid clip shown by
the Braves for the last two months
no other club has been as backward
at pilfering the bases.
The Braves have had one Of the
most consistent machines in the
game. They have achieved the most
remarkable results. But they have
stolen fewer bases than any other
club in the big show.
The Braves have stolen less than
80 bases. The Giants have stolen
200. There isn't a member of the
Boston roster who has stolen as
many as Is bases while several of the
Giants have stolen above 20, with
Burns and Bescher over 40 Burns
and Bescher alone have stolen almost
as many bases as the entire Brave
outfit. And yet the Braves have been
coming since July with most of the
others going. Considerable of an in
stitution-this festive dope.

Up back of him on Saturday it would

we wonder how six men were left on
base when Farley walked only three.
Sounds fishy, 'hey?"

they will know whether Farley pitch
ed a no-hit game, but even at that he
is some pitcher, and We ill have to
hand it to him.
Rockford didn't get any of the

and bats.

that will be some old ball game.
