Berlin, Aug. 31.-The war office an
nounced hat the German army oper-
ating in Eastern Prussia has defeated
the invading Russian forces near AL
lenstein.
The German defense Is declared to
be increasing In strength and the for
ward movement of the Russians Is re-
ported to have been checked.
Troops of the first line, heavily re-
inforced by second reserve and mem
bers of the landsturm, are being sent
eastward to the positions selected by
the general staff.
They will have the support of the
Austrian forces which have been
transferred from the Servian border
and of the Austrian army corps which
were started from Vienna.
While all information regarding mil.
itary movements is withheld there is
confidence that the combined army
will be able to hold the line against
the Russians. The plan OF battle has
been carefully made.
Because Of the immense distances
in Eastern Prussia 1t was deemed un
wise to oppose the enemy with
heavy force there. Instead much OF
that country was abandoned and the
German troops fell back after inflict
ing serious damage on the enemy.
The war office suggests that impor
tant movements now in progress viii
likely put a different aspect on the
situation in the east.

Today in Pugilistic Annals.

1883-John l.. Sullivan gained tech- nical victory over Charles Mitchell in rounds at New York. John L. was then in his prime. having won the big title from Paddy Ryan the previous year, and most of his opponents were scared stiff when they faced the roar ing ferocious Irish-Anerican. The big crowd in Madison Square Garden ex- pected the Bostonian to make short work of the Englishman, who was then only Iniddleweight, but Mitchell was calm, collected and clever and re- fused to be bluffed. He faced his big opponent with smile, held him even for two rounds, and in the third land- ed a blow that sent Sullivan crashing to the floor. Sullivan got up and rushed Mitchell through the ropes in- to the press seats. Capt. Williams, of the police, then stopped the fight, which went into the record as a vic- tory for Sullivan. The Brfton was wildly appIauded for his showing against the big heavyweight. Later Mitchell fought Sullivan to 3S-round draw in France.

TO
 PLACE TEAM IN
 NEW YORK NEXT

There is a growing impression in baseball circles that the Federal league will place a club in New York city before another year eIapses, if not before The Feds believe the pub Icity received by the new league in New York has made Gotham ripe for a Federal league invasion.
 The Federals deny that there is any prospect Of any change in their cir cult, but for the present that is their policy As long as the league retains clubs in Kansas City, Indianapolis and BunaIo 1t would not do to circu- late stories that he league intends to blossom out more fully next year, as 1t would injure the standing or the teams in those cities.
 So far Kansas City has been the weak Federal sister, but Kansas City may be recalled that Kansas City was a member of the American league in 1900 but it was quickly topped of when the Johnsorian league expanded to the East in 1901. Kansas City is the only town where the FsederaIs did not build a park, as they rented a good -sized park formerly used by semi teams
 The Federal league has been doing pretty well in indianapolis and Buff falo so far, where they are going strong on the third nlajor'' stuff They drew 15,O0O in a drenching rain for the opening game in Brffalo. but 1t is d question whether this will last Stranger things may happen than the transfer of Buffalo to New York in 1915. The Feds already have an op- tion on plot. of ground in the Bronx.

 You can say for me. : said Com nell, that am going to rid the club Of certain dead wood. Last year the club carried nsidera bIe excess bag gage and to date the same dead wood has shown little signs of irn- provemert There are others who are dissatisfied with their berths here and they may be sent elsewhere, z
 Manager CsonflelI S reference to ssdead wood includes George Sher- wood and Bob I1alIer, who have serv- ed as targets for crfticusm from the fans for some time Both inhelders were particuIarIy poor in their work last year. especially in batting. And up to the present time they have dis played no signs of Improvement that would warrant their retention. Both are woefully weak with the stick and there is also cause to criticise their sdefensive play.
 Connell now has the wires busy for talent If he can land good infield7 CT, sherwood will probably be set loose and Barr will suppIant Miller on first base
