there is no way that the problem Of play
grounds can be brought forward more
strongly than to have a series of games
among the boys of the various cities.
The fact that the youth Of New York
City can look forward TO a trip to Cali
forna, which will be figured on a merit
basis, will double the attendance at ana

II is a noticeable fact that the boys of
New York's park Fairgrounds were among
the first contributors to help defray the
expenses of the American team at the
Olympic games, to be held at Berlin in
1916. over six thousand pennies were re-
ceived by the Olympic committee from

Taking Keen Interest in
Coming Race for the
Cups and Medals.
TO BE ON HAND AT
MANY OF THE GAMES
More than Five Thousand Boys
Enrolled for the Coming
Carnival.

John Purroy Mitchell has often been re-
ferred to as the boy Mayor The rea-
son for this Of course, is that for ruler
% the largest city in America the proven
bal summers and winters he has seen
come and go have been comparatively
few
The Mayor at times perhaps has been
somewhat amazed at the references made
10 his youthfulness, for he has figured
and figured rightly that the experience
he gained in municipal affairs before he
became Mayor should be taken into &C
count.
Bat If he ever had the peeved attitude
over the title bestowed upon him he has
thrown IL off and now is proud to be
called the boy Mayor" The Tribune
baseball tournament, which Is being ar
ranged and in which thousands OF the
city lads are to take part, has opened
his eyes The Mayor realizes that the
only way TO get boy Mayors" who are
really worth while is TO keep an eye on
and extend helping hand to the young
sters who swarm through the city streets
when vacation time comes around
Mayor Mitchell, in short. has joined
hands with William J. Lee. Supervisor or
Recreation, ard Cabot Ward, Park Com
missioner, and will devote considerable
time and effort TO making the Tribune
baseball carnival a success.
The 5000 boys who already have sent IN
their entries for the tournament and the
thousands Of others who are planning TO
do so will be pleased TO learn that the
Nayor plans TO be on hand when the
race for the Tribsne cups and medals
begins.
Furthermore. he is going to Keep an eye
on the progress Of the tournament
throughout the whole summer. and VIII
bob up most Unexpectedly at the play
grounds where the juvenile ball tossers
are displaying their knowledge OF the
national game. The Mayor understands
the game, too. He had his training on
the diamond at Fordham University, and
only a few weeks ago showed what an
arm" he had by throwing out the ball
al the Giants opening at the Polo
Grounds. So the Boy Mayor" will watch
his boys with most critical eyes.
There is more good news for the Trlb-
une hdSeDdl ldQS MI Lee anu NN''''N''S
sioner Ward have completed arrange
ments 10 have band concerts at the play
grounds in the evenings and motion picI-
ures will be exhibited showing the varl-
Gus Toy teams in action on the various
diamonds. The scores and standing OF
the various mines also will be displayed.
That the parents of the boys who have
entered the tournament are taking inter

ters that Mr. Lee has received from
them The parents and guardians are
anxious to learn whether the youngsters

has replied TO the inquiries that all of the
teams will he accompanied on their

Beautiful Town in France Bonn

WcrId-Famed Cathedral of Notre
Dame Practically Destroyed
Obstruction of Town Officially
Announced.

Paris, Sept. 21-Rheims, the most
beautiful city Of northern France, has
met the fate of Louvain.
From the heights around the city
the great guns of the Prussians have
rained shells steadily.
The cathedral of Notre Dame is
practically destroyed
Flames are rising from the most
important public buildings The peo-
pie, who lived in their cellars during
the early period Of the bombardment,

Even the French troops have been
driven out by the deadly downpour
of exploding metal. The city is a
now a mere shell and empty.
The destruction of the city and of
its public art is officially announced
by Minister of the Interior Louis j.
Malvy. He added that the French
government has decided to send a
protest to the powers against this
act of odious vandalism" 1t is the
second time in all history that Rheims
has been destroyed. The first time
the destroyer was Attila.
The minister reports that the cathe-
dral itself is now in flames.
Rombarded Six Days.
Ever since last Tuesday the German
bombardment of the city las been
continuous. The German batteries
were mounted in the forts which had
been constructed originally by the
French and later abandoned. The
city itself was but slightly defended.
1t is only six miles from the ring of
forts to the center of the city.
The Germans took the heights
north of the city, the war Office re-
ports, and from that vantage point
were able to make the French leave
the city or be annihilated.
The allies are now in possession
Of the defenses east and southeast of
the city and have repulsed German
attacks there. But so far as can be
learned there is no living person in
side the city.
Cathedral 700 Years Old.
Seven hundred years ago the work
of building the cathedral of Notre
Dame at Rheims was begun. More
than century was needed to COM

was to be a worlds masterpiece, per-

most remote carvings, a church erect

as a RELIGIOUS monument intended to

RUSSIANS CHECK FOE
GERMAN OFFENSIVE MOVEMENT
IN PRUSSIA HALTED.
Dispatch From Petrograd Asserts
kaiser's Forces Have Retreated
at Several Points.

Petrograd, Sept. 21.-The German
offensive movement in Eastern Prus-
STA has been checked, according to an
official announcement.
The Germans have retreated at sew
eral points. The Saxon cavalry, which
hurriedly left France to assist the Ger
mans in the campaign against Russia,
has lost heavily. The Russians cap
tured many guns, including Sc How
tiers. The Russians have completely
cut off General DankeIs army, which
forms the extreme left of the new bat
tie front from Przemysl to Cracow, it
was reported. This has prevented his
junction with the force under General
Won Auffenberg. While General Dan
KEEL is retreating in desperate at
tempt to reach the CracoW fOrtifica-
tons the Russians are advancing frCm
Sandomir in an endeavor to cut off that
retreat as we'll.
Petrograd, Sept. 21-News of the
highest importance comes from all the
positions of the Russian southwestern
armies of which General Ruszky's adj
Vanc1nS force forms the C0IL6f.
Russians in immense numbers have
nov passed from the marshy flats of
the left bank of the San to easier
country, leaving the fortress of
Przemysl masked and impotent behind
them. Another army, ascending the
Vistula on both sides from Sandomir,
has routed the German army with Aus
trian reserves which were fastening
to support the main army defeated be-
low Krasnik.
The Russians have everywhere cap
tured the enemy's military equipment,
including pOntoons, engineering and
gun repairing shops. A good deal of
this material has been supplied by the
Germans.
