 According to the mythical seer of voodooism the Barons were up against s real sure enough "jinx" yesterday afternoon nt Rickwood Field In try ing to battle with the Pelicans on n Friday-n ladies' day-and the thir- teenth of the month. "Zowie" said the bird dog or some equally intelligent remark, and this all goes to give out the general Impression that the faI- tering Bnrons were swamped yester- day to the tune of to 2. They were outfIanked and their ammunition wns cut or or something.
 What is the matter with the Bar ons?" inquired a fair maid to another equally fair.

The Barons certainly walloped out luscious va riety of long flies to the waiting peli- can fielders-in fact to get on the paths at all Coombs and Johnson had to knock the ball completely out of the lot. And then again the Barons played with such determination-such fiery spirit-such irristible dash that an in- field hit was unable to score a man from third base. It was Friday the thirteenth" and this, to the Barons, is a pleasing alibi.
 MT. Emmet Key Perryman, erstwhile skypilot, was informed by Manager Molesworth that he was to pitch yes terday's game. Perryman was evidently hard of hearing for he allowed four hits for a quartet of runs in the sec ond stanza and then retired to the shady shades for the remainder of the matinee. Arthur Theodore Johnson pitched the ensuing seven innings and managed to keep his clothes on. all though the Pelicans with vicious drives nearly undressed him once or twice However, Johnnie got a timely three base knock, scoring Roy Elam. and can be forgiven for much.
 Horrible Second Inning
 Twas in the second inning that 1t happened-and with two out.
 One Pelican, with Pezold for a cog nomen, sloughed one of Ferrymans fast balls to left for single. Jack John ston, formerly of the Lookouts, re- peated and Pezold advanced to third while Johnston reached second in safe ty on the throwin. With none out and second and thord occupied the ladies in the stands became timorous of the outcome. 1t was d tense situation-past tense as it were
 But the situation cleared somewhat as Knaupp and Higgins popped out to Colye and Hale. Then the "jinX' began working for Jim Bagby pickled one to center for a single and Pezold and Johnston laughed their way home. Per- ryman, stunned by the wallops, walked I1endryX and Reilly singled to right. "To6riclk" Sloan fielded the ball per fectly and threw on a line home, but the ball bounded badly for Hale, all lowing Bagby to score.

VIOLENT ITALIAN
ATTACKS FAIL
Austrians Inflict Heavy Losses
On Enemy Along Coastal
District Front.

London, Aug. 11.-Italian attacks OF
great intensity delivered along the
whole front in the Coastal district
have been repulsed by the Austrians'
who inflicted heavy losses on the en-
envy, according to an official communi-
cation received from Vienna tonight
The statement says:
Yesterday the artillery fire and
other offensive actions on the part OF
the Italians on the front in the Coastal
district increased. On the edge of the
Doberdo Plateau strong hostile forces
attacked our positions east of Monfal-
cone, which, however, after bitter fight
ing, remained in our possession with
out exception. The repulsed enemy
sustained heavy losses, especially
through a thanking artillery fire.
1.-TWO attacks against the section Of
the plateau jutting to the west were
repulsed by our artillery.
"At the Gorilla bridgehead Italian at
tempts near Perma to approach our
intrenchments were repulsed by hand

ried"

Aeroplanes Destroy
Zeppelin Hurt in Raid

Rotterdam, Aug II dispatch to "The
London Daily News") .-Notwiths stand
ing the strict watch kept by Germans
in and around Ostend to prevent any
news getting out as to the fate of the
damaged Zeppelin which raided Eng
land on Monday night, | am able to
give from reliable source interesting
details of it's destruction. A gentleman
who crossed the frontier from Bruges
to-day brings the following story of
the Zeppelin's end:
Yesterday morning Germans in 0s-
tend, who naturally would know of any
intended raid on England, showed more
activity than usual, and keener watch
was kept Suddenly the shadowy form
of a Zeppelin was observed over the
sea, coming from a northwesterly direc-
ton, and trained men could see that it
was in difficulties.
IL was known that no such vessel
had left Belgium the previous day, and
the news soon spread that a Zeppelin
damaged in a raid on England was
seeking safety in the town. The air
ship as it slowly came nearer was seen
to be dropping and the Germans rushed
steamer out of the harbor TO render
aid TO their comrades in trouble.
DO what he would, the commander OF
the Zeppelin could not keep his craft in
the air, and it came down with rather
nasty crash into the sea off Ostend,
increasing its injuries in its fall. A
tug from port was soon on the spot and
managed to attach a hawser. With all
speed it commenced the work of tow
ing the disabled night bird into bar
Dor with her crew, some Of whom, it
was said, were injured.
Slowly the crippled airship glided
into Ostend and berthed in the har-
Dor, but no German effort could hide
it from the view of scouting Allied
seroplanes, which came hawking along
searching for their prey. They soon
discovered her and dropped projectiles
despite the fire from German anti-air-
craft guns.
Soon after the dropping of bombs a
loud explosion was heard. The report
was too strong to have been caused by
the mere explosion of bombs, and a
tremendous cloud of smoke rose up
from the harbor The Zeppelin, al
ready crippled, was then nothing but a
mass Of twisted aluminium. Many SOL
diers were injured and the aeroplanes
scared triumphantly away.
