John McGraw picks the Reds finish further last than

Lawn tennis schedules are being
hopelessly muddled by the constant

as many Journeys arc still awaiting de-
cisions. As the season advances and
the number of tournaments 70 be

greater.

Inman against Mrs. Marshall Mclean
and Dean Mathey, has been hanging
fire for ten days. Jiss Bjurstedt and
Mrs. Mclean are also down TO settle
their differences in the championship
round of the Pelham Country Clubs

are as far behind in their schedules.
The Pelham singles will probably be
played next Sunday, while the final in

PLAYED either tomorrow afternoon, or

 TROOPS STARTED?
French Public RejOices at Reported Victories of Jof- fre-Is But Beginning of Allied Operations

Paris. September 27.-'Is it the great offensive at last?" Is the question that is being asked all over France. Sun days official communications aroused the liveliest satisfaction and were the subject of animated discussion.
 The continued bombardment of the past month in the northern and Cham pagne sections of the battle line was generally believed to be the prelude to some important move and the public has been quick to infer that the pa tiently awaited hour for strong of fensive has arrived at last.
 The military observers, however. are more cautious than the public. They admit that the operations carried out by the British and French were bril- litna and declare that if 10000 pris- oners were taken the total German loses must have been at least 50.000 or 60,000 men. But they hesitate to declare on the scant facts available that this Is the beginning of a big of fensive manoeuver.
 "The commander in chief has not lconfided his intentions to anybody says the Temps. Tt Is that which raises hopes. An operation rumored is an operation ended. For the present let us rejoice over the news and wait with confidence"

 The report follows:
 Saturday morning we attacked the enemy south of La Bassee ca nal to the east of Grenay and Vermelles. We captured his trenches on a front of more than five miles. penetrating his lines in some places for distance of 400o yards.
 We captured the outskirts of Hulluoh canal. which drew strong reserve of the enemy toward the point of the line. where hard fight ing occurred throughout the day with varying success. At night fall our troops north of the canal occupied their positions of the morning
 We made another attack near Hooge, on either side of the Menin road.
 An attack north of the road suc- ceeded in occupying Bellewaarde farm and ridge. but this subse- quently was retaken by the enemy
 Tn the attacks south of the road we gained 500 yards of the ene- mys trench. and we consolidated the ground won
 The reports of captured men up to the present include about 1700 prisoners and eight guns besides several machine guns. the number of which is not yet known.
 'The report in Fridays German Dominique that we attempted to make an attack on the previous day south of La Bassee canal and which broke down under hostile artillery fire, is false. No attack was attempted"

DETAILS OF THE

German Report

Berlin, September %. - tNia London. IA repulse of a German division near Loos, northwest of Lens with considerable casual ties and the loss of materials, is admitted in today's German or ficial communication.
 The evacuation of an advanced German position north of Per thes. between Rheims and the Argonne forest. also Is admitted.
 The communications says:
 The battles in the continuation of the British and French offen- sive, which had been prepared for months. have progressed without bringing our assailants consider ably nearer to their aim.
 On the coast also British war ships have attempted to interfere with their fire, especially on Zee brugge, but without result.
 "1n the sector of Ypres the enc my suffered heavy losses and had no success.
 Southwest of Lille the enemy succeeded in repulsing one of our divisions near Loos, from its ad- vance ilne Ol uclense lb It's Sccoiiu line. Naturally. we had consider able losses. including material of all kinds enclosed between the two positions. A counter attack Is pro- gressing favorably.
 We voluntarily evacuated the ruins of the village of Couchez. Other attacks on this front were easily repulsed, at several points with the heaviest of losses for the enemy.
 ''rhe Thirty-ninth regiment. of landwehr especially istinguished itself This same regiment which sustained the principal attack north of the Neuville in May.
 Tn the struggles between Rheims and the Argonne. north of Perthes. one German division was obliged to evacuate it's position by bombardment for 70 hours and retire to it's second position, situ- ated from two to three kilometres 1.24 to 1.S6 miles) behind the first.
 However, all attempts to break through failed.'
 s'The battle was especially stub born north of Mourmelon Le Grande, and close to the western Argonne. Here our brave troops made the enemy suffer the heaviest losses. The north German and Hessian landwehr fought excel lently."
