PARIS, Oct. 12.-Practically nothing Is
known here concerning the operations
in the extreme north Of France and In
the region OF Client. The Government
reports to-day were more indefinite
than usual. the sum Of comment being
that the allies line Is everywhere in
tact.
This news IL in itself as satisfactory
as can he expected, when II Is remem-
bered that the Germans have attacked
with double shotted energy from the
frontier of Belgium TO the Vosgcs.
News OF decisive victory would be-
most welcome TO a nation which had
hoped recently that the Germans would
be driven from France as rapidly as
they came. but the public firmly be-
lieves that Gen. Joffre's tactics NJ a
military exigency utterly new in his
tory and that these tactics will event
ually succeed
From unofficial reports which, while
possibly over sangulne, may contain
elements OF fact Il Is gathered that the
allies have been able 10 mass such
forces IN the region OF Lille, Lens and
Arras as TO provide an effectual barrier
for a German advance 10 the coast
There are reports that the Germans
have been defeated in important cavalry
engagements near Arras and that they
have been driven hack about fifteen
miles In this district.
Unauestionably the allies are on the
offensive in this quarter and are
striking hard and often in the hope

OsrESp, oct. l2.-I am able 10 state
on the most reliable authority that the
military situation is satisfactory to the
allies. The civil population Of Ostend
il becoming alarmed over the many
sinister rumors that are in circulation
and are getting very nervous.
Fugitives continue TO pour into
Ostend from all quarters and the resi-
dents themselves are leaving for Eng
land in large numbers.
No official news OF the fall Of Antwerp
has been published and 1t Is not ex-
pected TINT any announcement on that
subject Will be made.
The state OF aIairs at the moment Is
hest described In the language OF an In.
nuentiaI man, who said Il was enigmat-
icaI. II Is declared here that several of
the forts Mt Antwerp are stun holding
out.
The Government is doing It's utmost
to grapple with the problems with
which 1t Is faced.
The official communicate issued at
Paris yesterday afternoon said that ac-
cording to the latest Information from
Antwerp twenty-four forts defending
that city on both banks OF the Escaut
River were still resisting energetically.

One fact stands out strikingly; the
pitching strength of the Feds is far
greater than is it's attacking or defen-
sive strength. The pitching strength
seems divided with considerable fair
ness. If Tinker could have kept both
Seaton and Hendrix, his team, weak

the logical choice for the pennant.

The Federal League presents the
hardest problem in doping that ever
have faced; harder even than that of
the first and second years of the
American Leagues existence. Eight
clubs, thrown together from all sorts
of material from major league stars
to sand-Iot phenoms, shaken in hat,
divided into eight teams and assorted
to positions; if that does not make
hard guessing what does?
Baltimore has the best regular
team in the field. Chicago has the
strongest pitching staff. Indianapolis
has what looks to be the best-balanc-
ed ball club, and ST. Louis has the
best selected team and the greatest
experience. Brooklyn, having gotten
Seaton, looms up as a possibility.
Neither Kansas City, Buffalo nor
Pittsburgh appears to be up to the

The Feds pulled a crowd of 4,5oo,

a game the Thinks found something
soft, licking West Covington 20 to 1,
polling 26 hits to do it. Every regular
but Rollie Zeider got at least three
hits. Tinker soaked four.
Claude Hendrix took a trial fling
for the opening Thursday, not grant
