High School Faculty Athletic Advisers to Give Out Dates and

Teams Getting Action in Championship Series.
By BRYAN MORSE.

Followers of baseball in the. high
schools are beginning to bestir them
selves and look ahead for the 1911
championship battles. L. w. Matthew,
of Western, chairman of the board OF
faculty athletic advisors, announces a
meeting in the near future. at which
time the athletic directors will get
together for a conference on the sched-
ule and place to play the games this
year.
The five members OF the committee
will cast about Gcr a suitable place
to hold the games, as 1t is thought thai
the American League ground will be
unavailable for the games on accoun
of the fact that Clarke Griffith and his
Nationals will be at home during the
greater part of May.
Last year practically all of the games
were run off at the park, the final con-
test taking place at Catholic Univer-
sity. This year it is not unlikely that
the high schools will make n bid for
Georgetown Field or will resume the
games al the Vigilant Park if Ed

ON EAST PRussIAN FRONTIER

Petrograd, Oct. 9.-An official COM
munication issued from general head
quarters says:
"The fighting on the East Prussian
frontier continued on October 7 with
the same ferocity. In spite of German
re-enforcements all their attacks in
the region of Wirballen, Russian Po-
land, and Philipoff have been repulsed
with great losses. By a night assault
the Russian troops have captured the
village of Kamenka, near Bakalar-
gewo.
"In the forest of Observation-Disclosures,
west of Ratchka, our troops in a night
surrounded a German detachment
which was partly exterminated, the
others being dispersed, abandoning
their rapid firers.
Russians Take GaIician Town.
Russian troops have also captured
the town Of Biala, in Galicia, 43 miles
| southwest Of Cracow. In other regions
there is nothing of Importance to re-
cord.
"In the attack against the Przemysl
garrison conditions are in our favor,
our troops capturing by assault a
strong \ fertilization, constituting one
Of the principal positions.
1.-THE following telegram has been
received from the commander in chief
under date of October 8:
".eThe emperor, on leaving general
headquarters yesterday, ordered the
train to stop at Bielostok, so that he
might proceed to the fortress Of Osso-
wetz in order personally to thank the
garrison for it's valiant defense Of that
place. In doing this his majesty found
himself very close to the battle front.
This visit of u august chief was an
nounced by me to all the armies and
| am sure will inspire them to new ex-
ploits,'"
Russians Move on Cracow.
London, Oct. "a Petrograd dis.
patch to the Reuter- Telegram com
pany says the Russian troops are adj
vancing slowly but irresistibly upon
Cracow, the population of which has
already been reduced by one-half.

staff, heavily supported by infantry,
have been hurled with terrific force
against the British and French lines,
only to rebound from the vigor of the
defense, In turn forced to suffer at
tack by the allies with equally deter
mined energy.
AT certain points the Germans were
forced to recede, particularly north Of
Arras, where the situation developed
in favor of the allies. The operations
of the German cavalry have become so
extensive as to reach almost to the sea
coast.
Between the Somme and the Disc
rivers the Germans are still in force,
but the French have succeeded in re-
taking a number of positions which
they previously had been forced to
vacate. On the heights Of the Mouse,
between Verdun and st. Mihiel, the
Germans are declared to have with
drawn to the north of Hattonchatel.
The war office admits, however, that
the enemy still holds the town of st.
Mihiel and some of the positions to the
north, on the right bank of the Mouse
Report From Berlin.
Berlin, Oct. 9.-Heavy fighting be-
tween great forces of cavalry contin
ues at the western end of the battle
line in France. Infantry figure in the
conflict only occasionally. We tool
Douai from the French and they have
been striving to drive us out for sew
eral days without success. We are
making steady progress.

CARRIER PIGEONS IN WAR
First Used in Franco-Prussian Con-
flict, and Their Value Has Since
Been Reeoanized.

The first war in which pigeons were
used as messengers was the Franco
Prussian, and the birds carried news
into and out of besieged Paris. A post
was established at Tours, and right
through the siege regular mails were
carried between Paris and Tours by
pigeons.
1t is not generally known that all
the armies and navies Of the world
can fall back on official pigeons, If
necessary, and that the birds belong
ing to the British navy have their
official standing and numbers just as
the handymen have.
During the Boer war the British
army had its carrier-pigeon system.
The birds brought messages from all
the towns beleaguered by the Boer in
vaders, and when Sir George Whites
force was cooped up in Ladysmith
winged messengers carried several dis
patches from that gallant officer to the
men who were slowly fighting their
way to his relief.

Claim to Have Repulsed German At
tacks in the Fighting in France
Conflicting Reports Come From
East Prussian Frontier.
Bordeaux, Oct. 9.-News has been
received here that King Albert Of Bel
GUM marched out of Antwerp today
at the head of a portion of his army.
London, Oct. 9.-The heavy guns of
the kaiser's troops were trained on
Antwerp after the garrison had refused
a demand that it be surrendered. The
commander of the German troops sent
an officer under a white flag into the
city to that the lombard
ment would begin unless the city was
given up. The request was refused.
Immediately after the decision of
the Belgians was announced the tenn
porary capital of the nation was re-
moved to Ostend, and IN exodus of
the people began.
The permanent capital, Brussels, is
held by the Germans.
Report British at Antwerp.
1t is reported in military circles
that a British expeditionary force of
formidable strength has entered Ant
werp after passing through Client. The
war office refuses to confirm the re-
port, but it cones from a cr~editable
source. The expedition is said to con
sist almost exclusively of artillery and
a naval detachment with heavy guns.
The Germans before Antwerp, it Is es-
timated, cannot number more than
$50, 900.
Death and destruction are carried
into the city not only by the siege
guns, but also by a fleet of six Zeppe-
Inns which circle high overhead, drop
ping bombs. These have destroyed,
by some accounts, at least a score of
houses, manning and killing the thirty
or forty occupants.
The Belgian army has SORTED re-
peatedly into the open field in efforts
to relieve the hard-pressed city. But
1t has been impossible thus far to
reach and silence the German siege
guns stationed in far places, in Sc
curity, throwing their shells over both
armies and over the outer forts into
the midst of the city itself.
The Germans are not succeeding in
drawing their lines closer about the
besieged city. Since they crossed the
River Nethe, according to a dispatch
to the Times, the only German adj
vance has been that Of the shells into
the city.
