Though They Rally in the
Ninth Frame.

GUNBOAT SMITH HAS
BETTER OF HEMPLE
Attends Strictly to Business
While His Opponent
Riddles.

Gunboat Smith had Just a little the
better Of Jack Hemple in ten rounds
of boxing at the ST. Nicholas A. c. last
night. 1t was Smiths drive through
the last four rounds, furious drive,
with all reserve hurled into the effort,
that carried him through. At the fin
ish both men were tired. but Buckley's
man had the greater strength.
In the ninth round Smith recovered
from a bad start and had his man tot
tering. Bad judgment. the Gunboat's
besetting sin, alone prevented him from
winning by a knockout from his weak
kneed. clinging opponent.
Hemple started out like winner.
He left-handed the wide-open Smith to
a fare-ye-well and avoided returns
neatly. He had a way of shoulder
blocking and turning inside of right
hand punch that was neatness itself.
Hemplc, however. fiddled too much.
while Smith attended TO business.

FIGHTING IN EAST AND WEST
Russians Attack From DVinsk to Rou-
manian Border-British Make
Assaults Near VermeIIes.

London, Oct. 19.-There has been
plenty of heavy fighting on both the
eastern and western fronts, Aut in
neither case has either side attempted
a general offensive. The Germans are
still making a great effort between
Riga and Dvinsk and have met with
some minor successes, but thence to
the Roumanian border, wherever
there has been any fighting, it is the
Russians who are attacking and they
too, claim some gains.
Much the same conditions prevail
on the western front The British
have been attacking east Of Vermelles
according to the Berlin report, while
the Germans attacked the French
near Souchez and the French took the
offensive in Champagne, Lorraine and
the Vosges. None Of these attempts
is making any marked alterations in
the positions Of the armies.
