Especial Cable to The Times Dispatch. ]
LONDON. October 5.-Ftghting in the
Artois and Champagne sectors has
again developed into !; fierce artillery
duel with the hostile armies gripped
In a deadlock which is awe-inspiring
for the effectiveness with which the
opposing armies are holding their re-
spective positions. Oflcial reports Of
the day from Paris are barren of any
claim OF advances made, while Berlin
mentions only one success, the re-
capture of n section of trench which
the French took yesterday to the north
west of Givinchy. British attempts to
retrieve their losses of the day before
by attacks against the German forti-
tications north of Loos were repulsed,
with very considerable losses in killed
and wounded" according to the Ger
man general stan.
The center of artillery fighting in
Artois has moved from the section be-
tween Souchez and Grenay to a point
further south, and now the big guns
are struggling for the mastery along
the front Immediately north of La
Scarpc and TO the east of Arras The
Scarpe River traverses the opposing
lines at point just north OF Arras and
flows east through Vitry and past
Bouay.

MILFORD, Del, Sept. 21.-Basket-
ball prospects for Milford are excep-
tionally bright this season. The low
er Delaware towns are not interested
in football as are other towns further
up state. For that reason plans for
the basketball season are now being
made and schedules are being made
by the various teams The Milford
High School Girls, who lost but one
game last season. thereby carrying on
the State championship twice in sue
cessiOn, expect to place a very fast
team in the field. The team lost Susie
Kern and Helen Pierce by graduation
last spring, but other good material
has entered Laura Salevan, who
with Miss Kern were the champion
forwards of the State for the past two
seasons, still remains at the High
School and the team depends upon
her sensational shooting" TO win
many of the games Averla Bennett
will probably succeed Kern at forward
while Bessie Vibbert is almost assured
OF the Eudih pVoltioh AiduN fdNdHt
by Miss Pierce. Carrie Masten will
still be at centre and should have
her best season this year.
The Caulk Club girls team, which
was organized last fall apd before the
season closed was one of the fastest
on the peninsula, will again be on the
floor
The Milford High School Boys team
will start this season with goCl pros

Johnson still are in school and the
freshman class has some fine mater

Everything points TO clear sailing
into the October classic for The Qrak-

Both the leaders have sixteen
games yet TO play. Cold figures show
that each of them can lose hve OF
their remaining contests and their
rivals win all theirs, and the races

The Tigers furnished the acid test.
The series there was a world battle
on a miniature scale as the outcome
largely depended on the American
League pennant winner And the
lynxoyed gents saw as classy an ex-

games the last four named have done
the heavy work and proved their
worth. Wood Is a world series VET

and smoke and come out whole. Even
the far-famed trio Of Rudolph, Tyler
and James, which made baseball his
tory last year, loses a little OF its
lustre compared with Carrigan's
