BIG GERMAN ARMY
ADVANCES ON PARIS
MILLION OF KAtsER,s TROOPS III.
WADE FRANcE-ARE RE-
PULSED IN sKIRMlsH.


London, Aug. 4.-The first great bat
tie of the war is but a matter of hours.
Fragmentary reports of scattered en-
gagements during the past twenty-four
hours tell a story of the opening Skin
mishes of what promises to be one of
the most historic battles in modern
warfare.
uhlans Are RepuIsed.
A corps of Uhlans crossed the Dor
der into France, in what appeared -
be an advance upon Nancy, and was
net and repulsed in sharp engage
ment at Petit Croix, a customs post on
the Lorraine frontier
While on the face of the reports the
day appears to have been disastrous
to the Germans, analysis of these and
other movements, which as yet have
no apparent effect, draws back the
curtain to reveal the strategy behind
the momentous advance movements OF
the three German armies, numbering
nearly a million men, which are now
in progress, with the capture of the
entire eastern frontier of France as
its object. In the three armies ara
included twenty-five army corps.
100000 Threaten Paris.
The first is moving through Bel
GUM. This is the strongest, as its
direction is Parisward; where the
greatest resistance may be expected.
1t numbers about 100000 men. The
aerial scouts who were driven back at
Rheims belonged to the advance body
of the first army, and they were re-
cOnnOitering.
The second army's advance move
was the body that was Iepulsed at
Petit Croix The Uhlans suffered tenn
rorary defeat, it is reported, but only
outwardly. Its function as the adj
vance guard of this weaker body of
100, 900 was to fall back when struck.
This army is advancing on the French
border from Metz, with Nancy as its
objective.
Third Army in South.
The third army is pushing forward
in the vicinity of Mulhausen near the
Swiss border, with Belfort, the city
that withstood a German siege Of
three months during the Franco-Prus-
sian war of 1870, as its goal. It's adj
vance formation. is in lesser numbers
and is divided into small scouting par
ties. Upward of 25O,000 men are re-.
ported to be included in this army.

GERMANS TAKE RUSSIAN TOWNS.

GERMANS TAKE RUSSIAN TOWNS.
Berlin, Aug. 4.-The Berlin war de-
partment has sent out bulletins an
nouncing a successful invasion of Rus
sian Poland The towns of Kalish,
Bending and Czenstochow were occu-
pied by German troops, and in the alb
sence of reports of fighting it is not
believed that these places were guard
ed by Russian forces. They are all
open towns and easily accessible.
London, Aug. Events in the
European crisis developed on Sat
urday with startling rapidity. The
German ultimatum to Russia de-
manding that Russia cease the mo-
bilization of her army, expired at
noon and at SIS O'Clock in the after
noon, the German emperor signed a
mobilization order.
At 1880 O'Clock the German am
bassador at St. Petersburg, Count
Won Pourtales, delivered declara-
ton of war in the name of his gov
eminent to the Russian government
and the entire staff of the embassy
Immediately left st. Petersburg.
Declaration Comes Early.
Although after the warlike
speeches delivered by the German
ambassador and the imperial cham
cellor at Berlin on Friday, no other
result could be expected, hopes that
the dread event might be averted had
been raised by the intervention of
King George in ST. Petersburg and
the fact that the German reichstag
was not convened until Tuesday.
Hence the actual declaration of war
had not been expected for another
day or two.
Now the die is cast and Europe is
to be plunged into general war
which has been the apprehension of
European statesmen for generations.
1t is now only question of how
soon state of actual war will exist
between Germany and France.
French Troops Called Out.
Late Saturday night. placards were
posted in Paris calling for general
mobilization of Frances armed
forces.
The German ambassador, although
he had not been handed his pass
ports, was preparing to leave the
French capitol. 1t is not known at
exactly what hour Germany's ulti-
matum to France, asking that coun-
try to define what attitude she would
assume in case of war by Germany
and Austria against Russia. was to

dad" Phillips Tells
of First Glove in Use
Special to The Telegraph

San Francisco, Nov. 4.-"Dad" Phil
lips, who is employed as binder by the
Leland-Standford University Press. +"
claims to have seen the first finger
mitt ever used in baseball game.
Over 40 years ago Dad" says he played
on the same team with A. G. Spalding
at Rockford, ILL.,, and tells of the orr
gin of the mftt as follows:
I'm one of the games that our
Rockford squad played we were at
tracted by the sound of the ball as
it clapped into the hands of the man
on first base for our opponents. OF
course, none of us wore mitts in
those days, and we never thought
such thing would be practical. But
this man on first base always caught
the ball with a loud pop, and several
of us noticed it, though we could see
nothing unusual about his hands.
However, after he caught the ball
each time, he pressed something into
his left hand. After the game Spald-
ing and / went over to see what he
had in his hand. After some protest
he showed us. 1t was nothing but a
piece of bent metal around which he
had sewed some leather. 1t seemed he
had injured his hand, and did not
want to be kept out of the game,
which was for the championship of
the state. So he had made this mitt. ="

YALE NEEDS MEN
To IMPROVE DEFENSE
Special Work Is Now in Order For
the Annual Game With
Princeton Tigers
Special to The Telcgrabh

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 3.-Nearly
all of the Yale varsity players were
at the field yesterday for the begin
ming of the two weeks work leading
up to the Princeton game. Capt. Tai
bott was out in street clothes and per-
sonally gave the first eleven its work.
Talking long and earnestly regarding
last Saturdays good and bad points
in the Colgate game, Head Coach
Hinkey worked with the second
eleven.
There were four elevens in long sig
nal drills, and the third and fourth
had a 30-minute scrimmage in order
that the coaches might get line on
the good men to improve the weak
Yale defense. Alec Wilson was in
uniform, but did no signal work. He
spent the afternoon catching punts
and kicking. He also had some prac-
tice forward passing. Neither Wilson
nor Talbot will play in the game
against Brown on Saturday.
Legore was at the field, but had
only individual work. Ainsworth
played with the second team, though
the coaches said this had no signi-
ficance. The varsity lineup in the
signal drill was: Brann, left end;
Belts, left tackle; Conroy left guard !;
Sheldon, right tackle; Blodgett, right
end; Scoville, quarter back; Waite,
left halfback; Knowles, right half
back; Guernsey, full back.

Plank Tells Truth
About Federal Deal
Special to The Telegraph

Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-Within the
next two weeks more sensational de.
velopments are expected in baseball
circles. The Connie Mack waiver gos'
sip is still strong. There is no deny.
ing the fact that Tughey Jennings
started more trouble than he realized
Coombs is on fishing trip in Maine
Bender is in Williamsport and Plank
is at his home in Gettysburg. Plank
said
ut was a completes surprise to me
and ! knew nothing about 1t until q
friend of mine called me from Phila-
delphia. / should have thought that
Connie would have told me something
about it, particularly since l told him
a few days ago that 1 had received a
strong offer from the Federal League,
was man enough to do that, and
Connie might at least have done the
same towards me.
IT gave the best l had to the Ath-
letics and would like to be able to say
the club treated me as we'll in return.
[ feel that / have at least a couple of
years more good pitching left in my
old wing and the fact that the Ath-
letics want to release me will not make
the Federals believe that 1 am all in.
If the Feds think that way, [ don't
have to worry, for l have got mine
slowed away in farms and the bank,
and 1 don't have to play ball any more
unless / want to.
Even now l am not sure that l
shall play ball with the Federals, bu
shall play ball with the Federals.
but if 1 do, you can bet that l shall
give them the best L have in return.
So far as Coombs and Bender are con-
cerned 1 don't know anything about
them, and their business is their own"

terday; Make Twenty-six
Miles a Day

Travelling at the rate of twenty-six
miles a day on the Ohio river the
quartet of canoeists who left here in
early September, arrived at Ports
mouth, Ohio, last Friday afternoon
covering a total distance of 125 miles
IN less than a weeks time.
Many hardships and cold weather
are the experiences told by Jack Law
erty, one of the adventurous four, in
a letter received by the Telegraph
TINS morning. The four youths who
are padding to Frisco are Jack Law
erty, d. D. Sampson. L. C. Arms
burger and Charles Gayman: Law
ertys letter in part is as follows:
we left Pomeroy Friday, October
2S, and travelled twenty-four miles
that day, gliding with swift current
caused by heavy rains. We arrived
at Gallipolis at noon and bought a
few days supplies. Leaving Gal
hpolis we encountered heavy north
wind, which at times caused waves
to leap over the broadside of our
green ships At sundown that night
we reached a little burg that looked
like lumber pile and were COM
PEELED to camp there. Everything was
SO slow that we did not learn it's name
until the next morning when we met
an 1nhabitant who called the town
Eureka.
I'VE left the settlement Saturday
morning at Z o'clock and with a stiff
north wind blowing we padded about
htteen miles. We slept in our tent
that night with a temperature near
30 degrees. A quarter of an inch of
ice was frozen on our water bucket
the next morning. We laid in the
tent all day Sunday and left Monday
morning wheI. the water was calm.
I'VE broke our record to-day trav-
cling thirty-five miles to Cattlesburg,
Ky. Arriving there we erected camp.
A chilly north wind was blowing, but
we stripped and plunged into the cold
drink. And believe me it WAS cold!
We remained in the water just three
minutes. -
Travelling twenty-seven miles to-
day we arrived at Powellsville, o., and
pitched camp for the night, and by
O'Clock snow was falling. When I
awoke the next morning at o'clock
L started large fire and warmed my
shivering timbers vigorously. We ar
rived at Portsmouth Friday evening
at o'clock and pitched camp for the
night, when the temperature raised
considerably. The bunch crossed the
river and visited carnival.
We expect to arrive in Cincinnati
on election day and expect to stay
there several weeks. We will make
efforts to obtain detachable motors
for our canoes which we will use in
travelling against the stream in the
Missouri river"

FORDHAM WINS VICTORY
OVER GETTYSBURG TEAM
.SteciaI to The Telegraph

New York. Nov. 4.-Fordham de-
feated the heavy Gettysburg team on
Fordham Field yesterday by 21 to 2.
Yule, Dunn and Regan, the Maroon
back field trio. each scored a touch
down, while the visitors score came as
the result of a safety when Dunn was
tackled behind his own goal line.
Although fumbling figured in the
first touchdown. it was the marked i'm
provement of the Fordham back field
that counted in the result. Displaying
a series of double passes that were run
off with speed and power, Dunn, Yule
and Kane cut off tackle or circled the
ends for the gains that spelled victory
for Fordham.
The locals obtained twenty-three
first downs to nine for Gettysburg and
gained four times as much ground.
Moraulti ran the team in perfect
fashion and uncorked forward passes
at opportune times. Twice with the
ball within the Gettysburg twenty-yard
mark the forward pass was worked
successfully.

LOOKS LIKE PEACE

Western Dopesters Tell How 1t Will
All End; Two Clubs in
Each Town
Special TO The TcIeprdbh

Chicago, Nov. 4.-"Baseball peace
is in sight" declared one of organized
basebalrs high officials here yester-
bay. ut is also a fact that Charles
III. Weeghman, president of the Chi
cago Federal League club, is negotiat-
ing for the purchase of the Cubs. The
West Side team will be transferred to
the North Side Park and Chicago will
have only two teams-the White Sox
and the Cubs"
President Gilmore of the Federal
League is authority for the following
statement:
1.-The Federal League is willing to
discuss peace terms. But it will never
be reduced to a minor league. There
is territory enough to warrant three
major leagues. Now is the time to oc-
cupy 1T and protect it from any fur
ther invasion"
The end of the baseball war is be-
lieved to be very near. Garry Herr
mann, chairman of the national com
mission; Charles Weeghman, one of
the big men of the independent or
ganization, and others prominent in
the national game, are working upon
the details. This information comes
from an inside source. 1t may have
been sent out as a feeder" but it in
dicates the way in which the wind is
blowing.
There are to be three leagues, but
no city will have three teams, which
means that the Federal League team
in Chicago will be moved elsewhere
and the st. Louis Feds transferred.
Every club owner in the Fed or
ganization is to be taken care of. If
he is in conflict with organized ball he
will be given new territory. Among
the cities mentioned as being in line
for continuous baseball are Detroit.
Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
The Pittsburgh team of the third
league will remain there and play
when the Pirates are out of town. The
American Association team is to be
moved from Cleveland, possibly back

The big game will be played at Steel
ton between Central High and Coach

the sting of defeat at Steelton's hands,
Central is working hard to overcome
the weak spots and hopes to even up

Coach Smith is busy drilling Central

The Harrisburg Academy will have
another hard proposition in the Yates
