The second engagement was the

innings. However. McGee's error on
the grounder hit by White, first man

Sporting Views
By the Editor

The two games won BY the Jays
yesterday puts them within three
points of Muscatine and makes rccu
for as hot fight for the c. A. rag
as any bug could hope TO see. The
addition of our old friend Rags" Fair
cloth to the Muscatine club gives
Boyle a much better chance than he
looked to have before. There is no
question but that the Waterloo infsld
as well as outfeId is stronger than
Boyle's, but the Muskies are banking
on their pitching staff to make up for
this. Taken all around, Waterloo ap-
pears to have the best OF 1t. but in
juries or changes on either club may
change their relative strength in time
to switch the ultimate result OF the
league race.
From tn. kind of game Jimmie Nc
Auley has been playing while here
with the Jays, OLD Hans Wagner can
die as soon az he wants to without
hurting the strength Of Pittsburgn's
infeld. McAuley covers more ground
by a very wide margin than any short
stop that has played In the associa-
ton this year and ne seems to be
able TO handle anything he can get
near. His throws across the diamond
travel like bullets when occasion de-
mands and he gets them away with
remarkable speed. Young Hans" has
robbed Indian batters OF more than
one hit during the three games Of the
series just closed.
According 70 the Cedar Rapids Ca
zette. Dutch Wetzel II has been for
warded a check for s. by a jeweler at
Bunnyyille for laying hit against his
sign at the Cedar Rapids park. Dutch's
batting has been in bad slump for
some time but he appears to be re-
gaining his old form at last.
According to diopatch from To-
peka which appeared in morning pa
pers today, Pitcher c. Jones, who was
TO have been sent here when Fair
cloth was returned 70 Topeka. has
been sent TO Muscatine instead OF Fair
cloth as is claimed by Nu3cat!ne
papers. Faircloth, the dispatch sayg,
was sent to the Springfield club Of

"Bing" Miller was sent home for the
rest OF the season. Scanlon was Civ
en- his release on account OF the show.
Ing MEME has made since his return
to the game. and the game that Wal

sack. Scanlon had charley horse
that was not getting any better and
as the team was hitting merry clip,
Scanlon was the man that drew the
blue ticket.
Miller, who has not been showing
any too much stuff since his return.
has been sent home for the remainder
Of the season, but not before he was
signed for next year. Miller. with the
experience that he has obtained this
season and a winters rest, should
prove a winner next year.
Carrow, the I'M. phenom, will report
to Hough at Muscatine and with Coop

will take care OF the twirling for the
rest of the season unless Hough is
able to obtain Faircloth from the To-

VICTORY OVER CzAR
CLAIMED BY BERLIN
Wireless Tells OF Defeat Of
100000 Russians.

It was officially announced in Berlin
that General Won Hindenberg had tel
egraphed Emperor Williom that the
Russian army Of Wilma, composed OF
the Second Third, Fourth and Twen'
tieth army corps. two reserve divisions
and five divisions of cavalry, 2Ol,5OO
men in all. have been completely de-
feated by the Germans.
The Russian casualties in the battle
were heavy.
The number Of Russian prisoners is
increasing, General Won Hindenbera
goes on. and the destruction of the
Russian army continues. There have
been spoils of war in enormous quan
titles.
The Russian army of GrodnO has
been defeated at Lyck. 1t comprised
in addition to the Twenty-secont
corps 100000 mem the remnant oi
the Sixth corps and a part of tht
Third Siberian corps probably abou
$4,000 mem.

ed that the heavy fighting in France
was still undecisive. The French as
sault, it said, had been repulsed.

Berlin. Sept 1G.-The German gem
eral stan give out the following oti-
cial announcement:
In the western theater Of war the
right wing Of our army has been en-
gagged in heavy but undecisive battles.
The French, who endeavored to break
through our line, we're VIGOROUSLY de-
feated.
AT other points where there has
been fighting no decisive results have
been reached
The Germans presumably are push
ing reinforcements forward. and the
announcement that their armies with
a united front have resumed the Of
fensiye may perhaps be expected in
two or three days.
Much probably depends on the ra-
pldity with which the army under the
crown prince completes the isolation
OF Verdun and shakes itself loose from
this obstacle in order to be in a po-
sition to resume major operations.
The general stan. in response to a
query. characterized the general sit
uation as favorable" but refrained
from any comment whatever over the
course of events since the first days
OF the British French attacks and the
withdrawal OF the German right wing
on Sept 6.
