Catholic University defeated Eastern
College yesterday at University Field by
a score of 10 to 4. The four runs which
the Eastern nine got were gifts. and not
through their ability to play ball. 1t
was one of the worst games ever played
on University Field, and in the last in

for the spectators by making all kinds
Of changes in the lineup. Cooley went
to left field, Lynch went to third. Zach
airy started to pitch, and Cromwell play
ed shortstop. Zachary lasted but two
thirds of an inning, and was relieved by
Lynch, who finished the game by strik-
ing out kibIer. Cromwell started to pitch
for the Catholic University and did some
fine work. He allowed but one hit in
eight inings, and was at all times master
of the situation. Eastern's only run off
Cromwell was the result of base on
balls and a wild throw by Cooley. which

There is a strong probability that when

world. will be among those present. The
managers of this unparalleled tourna
ment have for months been making every
effort to land the doctor. and. according
to the latest foreign reports. it seems
that I,asker is about to yield to their
entreaties Should he enter this contest
the field will consist of Lasker, TarTasch,

Niemzowitsch Rubinstein and Alechin, a
concourse of stars the like of which has
never been seen In the history of chess.
Not a single recognized grand master.
except one or two who have retired
from active chess on account of old age,
will be missing from the lineup.
In view of Lasker's repeated declara-
tions that he would never enter tour
nament in which Capablanca was COM
petitor il would seem that the managers
of this event must be diplomats of the
first water-perhaps the Cuban and the
doctor will play their game by telephone.
In any event it is to be hoped that this
battle will be adequately polced-

Kupchick met Jaffe in the Progressive

New York. The battle for supremacy be-
tween these two East Side heroes must
go down to posterity as one of the finest
examples of coffee house chess" extant-
Should DIR. Tarrasch set eyes on the
score of this game he will probably burst
an artery. but it is most interesting
reading for the amateur. AS for the
outcome of the tournament, Jaffe and

Berlin, via The Hague and London,
Nov. 1.-The German general stan
was highly pleased with the report OF
Fridays fighting and the announce
ment that the allies had been thrown
back across the Aisne near scissors
and that the Germans had reached po-
sitions to the west of Verdun.
This was described as the most
promising news received for some
time.
I'VE have finally started the stone
rolling said one officer commenting
on the official statement issued Sat
urday.
Major Moraht, military correspond
ent of the Berliner Tageblatt, points
out that scissors is the point on the
long battle line that is nearest Paris,
being only so miles distant.
He adds that the allies may learn
from this success that the German
front has not been weakened at ANY
point while daily reports of allies re-
pulsed to the east and north OF Yer
dun show what a desperate effort the
French are making to prevent the in
vestment of the fortress.
