Yesterdays double headers with
the Kitty Clubs closed the season.
Cairo is the penant winner. The
team won the honor by steady work
for a long time, and there is no
doubt but that the strongest and
best balanced bunch is the 1914 cham
pions. Paducah rests in last place,
with Henderson and Greensboro close
together for second honors.
Interest now centers in the post
season series proposed between the
Kitty champions and the pennant
winners of the Central Association,
both circuits being in class d. 1t
will be a seven-game series, with
three games played at each of the
towns represented and the seventh
game, if necessary, on some neutral
diamond.
Kitty leagures are confident that
if the series now proposed is played
that Cairo will win easily.

Paris, Sept. IAN official commu-
nication was issued yesterday an
nouncing that three forts had fallen
at Maueuge, a fortress of the first
class in Nord. A further official
statement says:
The press bureau at Bordeaux
telegraphed to the military COVER
nor of Paris:
The respective situations Of the
German and French armies on the
left wing have not undergone any
interesting change. The enveloping
movement of the enemy has been
definitely checked.
1t is concluded therefore that as a
final preliminary before the advance
on Paris the Germrns determined to
reduce Maubeuge. the menace to
their communication in the rear.
At the same time a sudden shift in
the German plans on the allies left
wing is apparent. An official state
ment from Bordeaux says the enemy,
instead of marching direct on to Par
ir, seem to have taken a sudden turn
eastward, and are now thirty miles
east of Paris.
Everything indicates that the irst
grand climax of the campaign is
near.
1t is suggested here that the de-
termined effort to reduce Maubeuge
together with the swing to the east
ward of Paris may indicate pur-
pose on the part of the Germans to
bring their center forward to meet
the apex of the V-shaped wedge
which they have been driving into
allies left before venturing upon a
pitched battle outside the outer rim
of the Paris forts.
