Umpiring of Dineen and Tom

Umpire Dineen called Lewis safe
on first in the first inning when Main
and Burns had caught him and Burns
had him blocked off the plate a mile.
Later on with three men on Dineen
called Janvrin out at first on a double
play when Hal had crossed the bag

Connolly was missing strikes

makes them look foolish claiming to
be flag contenders There Is some
balm in the panning. however That
is the fact that they are not playing

isn't because they are not able TO do

The National Geographic Society has
prepared the following facts concerning
places that are figuring prominently In
the news OF the military operations In
the European war:
"Craonne-The scene Of Napoleon's last
victory before the end Of the First En-
plre was laid in the village OF Craonne.
France, in the hills a little more than
half way on q straight line from Rheims
TO Laon. The battle took place on
March Z, 1914, after Blucher had COM
bined force OF 10000 men at Laon.
The Emperor fell upon the advanced
guard OF this force at Craonne and
drove 1t back upon Laon, where a bat
ale took place two days later. Napoleon
was here defeated and with only 10000
nounce all Ideas OF futher offensive
and he retired to Rheims. The, town has
changed but little in 100 years, having
scarcely more than 1000 inhabitants. 1t
overlooks the valley Of the Aisne. as II
threads its way through the high hills
to the northwest OF Rheims.
''Tergnier-A point Of strategic impor-
tance. a little to the north OF a line from
Noyon TO Laon. France. much coveted
by reason Of its location on The north
ern bank OF the Oise and on the Canal
Crozat, which joins the Disc and the
Somme, and principally because II is at
the Juncture OF the double-tracked rail-
road running to the north. From Terg-
nier are direct lines to Noyon, Laon,
Amiens. St Quentin and many other
points in the battle zone. Tergnier's
population Of about 5000 is interested
in large railway workshops To-
Gated there. The town is twenty-seven
