LONDON, Oct. 24.-The ouns Of the
British navy have again turned I'M

advantage.
In eastern France, there has been
apparently some progress made by the
French in developing their threat
against Metz. But both sides are con-
cealing their strength in the frontier
zone. Little news on which reliable
judgments can be based is forthcom-
ing. The French have reported sue

mans north of verdun, while strong
belief prevails In Berlin that verdun

campaign in western France and BEL

on future Developments Of the war
and this DOUBTLESS accounts for the
meagre details Of the Meuse and

During the week, Russia has check

forts to get within bombardinn dis

meaning that Russia has assumed the
offensive. Nevertheless the influence
of the Russian success would be felt
by the allies in France and Belgium.

fact, has begun to use troops in east

been for Weaver and Chase the
Butcher Boy would have been. scored
on in the seventh inning at least once
and the entire complexion of the
game might have been changed.
MoeIIer pried this frame with
bunt which Benz fumbled and the
runner was safe. Foster hunted to-
ward third and Moeller had sailed for
second with the pitch. Benz got the
ball up and shot Foster out to Chase.
MoeIIer, a fast man, skidded
around second and raced for third.
Chase made a perfect peg to Weaver,
who was covering the bag, and the
Washington gardener was out by a
couple of feet.
MoeIIer was taking a good chance.
1t required perfect throw by Chase
and quick work by Weaver to get him.
But these two athletes are making
their regulations on just such plays.
That double killed Benz, for Black
burne made a two-base wild throw
on the next batter.
In the ninth inning the same pair
again broke into the spotlight with
a dazzler. Ainsmith here got the lone
bingIe off Benz, an infield tap. John
son famed Moeller raped to Chase
and Hal threw to Weaver, forcing
Ainsmith. Buck made a quick re-
turn and got Moeller to wind up the
game: p
Plays like that put heart in a
pitcher, and certainly the Sox pitch
ers need encouragement of some sort
But they can rely on Weaver and
Chase to do more than their share of
the defensive duty.

Capt Buck has cut loose one of his
formerly famous wild throws in the
general direction of the first corner.
He has steadied wonderfully, and has

them, but it enables Demmitt to play
a deeper field and capture the long
swats hit his way.
Therefore Weaver not only is a
sensational shortstop,. but he adds to
the strength in left field.
Joe Benz's great work yesterday
made three full games in which he
has allowed a combined total of four
hits and one run. And this is the
fellow that waivers were almost Sc
cured on last summer. Connie Mack
refused to pass Joe up, and this saved
him to the SoX.
Weaver, Demmitt, Collins and Al
cock got the hits that counted in the
scoring.

Siders when he acquires steadiness.
At present the youngster is inclined

works. double against Mcclure. Not
only do his passes put men in posi-
ton to score, but when he is going
bad he is forced to groove the ball
with nothing on it, and then it is soft
for opposing betters to take a toe
hold and a wild swing.
Dave Black, the kid southpaw, got
chance because Mcclure was wild.
He travelled four innings against the
Tip Tops and was found for three hits
and a run. He yielded but one pass,
which is pretty fair work for port
slider.

When the first fremen responded flames were pouring out of a second story window at the front of the house and although the fire was soon under control it was a mean fire to fight. for a small one, and the water loss will be large. The fire had worked up under the tin roof of the two-story frame dwelling and a considerable section of the northwest corner had to be torn out before it was subdued. A large crowd collected despite the pouring rain, and the firemen were busy near4 1y an hour.
 Mrs. Emile Cartier, mother of Gus tave and Joseph Cartier, who lived in the house, fell down the stairs and suffered fracture of her collarbone at khe time of the fire. She was taken to St. Joseph's hospital.
