AMMUNITION SHORT /.
IN FORTS At NAMuR

London, Aug. ga number of Bel
gian wounded from Namur have ar
rived at Folkstone, but it is difficult
to get any connected account of the
fight. They say the Germans bonn
barded continually from Friday until
Sunday and they believe it was the
superiority, in long range, of the Ger
man guns which gave them the vic.
tory.
On Saturday German shell ex-
ploded in Marchovelette fort and put
the largest gun and tone six-inch gun
out of action. Two hundred Belgian
soldiers while trying to escape were
practically annihilated by German
shrapnel and machine guns.
On Sunday ammunition run short
in some of the forts and more ammu.
milton was sent for, but the town fell
at midday Sunday before the amml.
milton arrived. The Belgian soldiers
made a splendid retirement, which
was covered by the French troops.

Paris, Aug. 29.-The second line of
the allied defense, much of it we'll
within French territory, is reported
to be holding, well under enormous
pressure of the Germans.
The government admits the Ger
mans outnumber the allies and that
the latter are compelled to give way
at the points where the pressure is
greatest. But the war Office indig.
nantly denies that the French posi-
tons are being turned. 1t insists
every retrograde movement has been
provided for and that "at the proper
time the allies will assume the of.
fensive.
There is no attempt to minimize the
danger that the lines may. not hold
and the frank admission that the
British 9expeditionary forces now have
been united and placed where they
must beat back the foodtide of the
invasion or be overwhelmed proves
conclusiyely that the French general
staff believes the Germans are stalking
everything, on one mass assault, the
preliminaries of which are already
started.
Meanwhile every precaution is be-
ing taken. Should the present line Of
defense be broken by the Germans
there will be a fairly clear road in
front of them for Paris. But it is
known the general staff plans for such
an eventuality are complete and
there is none of the panicky feeling
evident in the capital that was so no.
ticeable during the last few days.

Foul Tip Is Tough on
Umpire Silk 0'LoughIin

This should make good read
ing for the promoters Of the
fourth major league. And like
wise for the general public.
Umpire Silk O'Loughlin has
received many hurts while
standing behind the catcher.
The hardest blow. in his opln-
lon. was at Philadelphia a cou-
pie of seasons ago.
Walter Johnson was pitch
ing and the batter hit a foul
tip that caught me on the arm"
says Silk. "Johnson's speed is
terrific enough. but add the
speed of foul tip to that and
you can imagine how l felt.
thought my arm had gone with
the ball to the grand stand.
For at least ten minutes my
arm was absolutely paralyzed.
And for two months could still
feel the effects Of that blow"

Second Flood in HiIl.boro District.

Albuquerque.-For the second time
this summer the Hillsboro district of
Sierra county has been devastated by
floods. In June a cloudburst sent
flood down the Percha creek which
swept away half the town of Hills
boro, the county seat, and caused one
death. Continued heavy rains of four
days sent the Palomas creek out of its
banks, washing away the crops Of
more than a hundred small farmers
and wrecEing the extensive farms of
the Hopewell cattle ranch. A messen-
ger who came out of the flood district
on horseback places the damage at
over 100000. The village of Cuchillo
has been entirely washed away. The
ella and Mimbres rivers are out of
banks and heavy damage is reported
along both streams.

Baseball Arblters Few Years Ago
Were Regarded as outsasts and

Umpires live in the golden age to-

friend. He was an outcast, man
without country
"Umpires had to have nerve and
punches Of 1t when was in the busi-

Those were the times when we
had to fight 1t out with the players
on the ball field, and we didn't have

Il remember once when was an

"At Peoria one day came some
thing l still remember with great
clearness. They used to slide head

name. dived headlong for second in
the game, and managed to knock the
ball out of the tagger's hand as he
touched him. l didn't see 1t, but the
runner got hold of the ball aid stuck
it in his shirt as he lay there sprawl
ing.
He got up, and as the players were
hunting for the ball started for third.
He bluffed around for moment and
then dashed for home. He slid In.
Then. coming to his feet, he busted
himself of and walked leisurely for
the bench. During all this time the
other side was frantically looking
around for the ball. When he finally
got to his bench he took the ball
out of his shirt and tossed 1t on the
field.
They called for decision.

believe all records for speed from the
