BOOSTER DAYS ARE SLIPPING AWAY
AND OPPORTUNITY GOING WITH THEM

pear think they have no chance to win
the grand prize.
Bear in mind the prizes must be
awarded. Why allow this opportunity
TO pass by? With past experiences
taken into consideration. the winners
OF the larger prizes will not develop
half the amount OF subscribers secur-
ed in other contests TO win the
awards.
Confidence is all that is necessary.
The West Virginian stands behind
the contest. and every candidate is
sure TO receive the prize their efforts
determine.
Oiscredit RumorS.
The man who knows II all has ap-
peared on the job. Perhaps he will tell
you what he thinks. TO back away
from giving the subscription. Perhaps
he is a friend OF your competitor, and
his object Is TO discourage. Here is
where the candidate with confidence
and self reliance will shine" He will
pass up these discouraging rumors.
and after he sees through the thin
mask. he will double his efforts to &C.
complish the winning Of the grand
prize.

BERLIN. via London. Aug. S.-The
Russian advance positions to the
southwest OF fortress of Brest,Litovsk
were broken through yesterday by tde
Germans. according TO an official an
nouncement given out today by Ger
man army headquarters.
LONDON. Aug 25.-The Balkan
states are unqueStionably nearer de-
termination OF their future relations
with the warning powers. but so far
as has been announced officially no
definite step has been taken In the di.
rectiOn OF a revival of the. Balkan
league and its adherence TO the cause
OF entente allies. !.
There was no confirmation today OF
rumorS which excited London yeSter-
day. chief OF which were reports that
Bulgaria had declared war against
Turkey and would assist In an at
tempt TO force the Dardanelles.
The situation brought about by the
sinking Of the Arabic is still elicittnG
comment from the English press
which characterizes the unofficial Ger
man explanation as inadequate. and
the present efforts to explain the dis
aster as evidence OF GermRny's reali-
zation that her relations with the Uni.
ted States have reached q serious
phase. -
German Gains Not Big.
The furious efforts of AustroGef-
man armies along the eastern tront.tn
the last "a hours have not been 3s
fruitful as usual in respect Of the
amount OF ground gained which is Ia
ken TO mean that they have now
reached the dreaded swamp region.
German and Austrian reports say that
further advances have been achieved
north and south Of Brest-LitoYsk and
that the Pulva river line has been
passed.
Austrian cavalry entered KoTeI,
and is said TO be advancing to the
north. hut the outfanking movement
from this quarter will be confronted
by barrier formed by the river Pri.
pet. and the adjacent marshes.
Swamps Halt Teutons.
The German press recognizing the
difficulty. points out that the armies
of the Central powers face serious
obstacle in the immense and roadless
Pripet swamp. While the leading
Hungarian newspapers described the
tactical position Of the Russians IN
this region as extremely fsyorabfes
another explanation OF the pause In
the Austro.Germau advance against
BrestLitOvsk is that the invaders are
being held up by continual rains and
mist which hampers artillery hre.
From the other front there have
been reported no actions yislbiy
changing the respective positions Of
the combatants. The English public,
stirred by large loss Of life, at DaTs
danelles and Turkish reports Of des-
perate fighting, await with keen inter.
est official details OF operations there.

Was Close

Yesterday afternoon at the Rangers

a hardfought game by score of 7 to G
The score kept close throughout the
nine innings and netler side had the
game won until the very close Nearly
300 fans were present to witness the
game.
Both teams hit the ball rather freely
and neither pitcher got many strikeouts,
but the felders OF both teams were good
and held the men from pilina up large
number OF runs. Out of the IL hits made
by both teams only one was able to he

hit by Barry of the visitors team in the
sixth inning Others were clean singles
and especially two thas~ were slammed
out by Ozzella, the first two times he
came up to bat.
Weafer was doing fine work in the
pitchers box until the sixth. when he
made a dive for a speedy hit ball and
landed on his side in the dust. For a
while he was dazed and during the re-
mainder of that inning was hit more
freely than in any other part of the
game. 1t was at this time that st. An

runs. 0zzella. who was catching for
the Italians, was doing himself credit
at the bat, but two errors on his part,
one allowing a man to score. sufiiced to
set him aside, and Comolli, the old timer,
stepped behind the bat.
The visitors were obliged to change
their pitcher in the seventh inning, HUI
man coming to the rescue, taking the
place of Melanson. Melanson who is a
young pitcher, was hit badly by the Ital
ians and but for some good playing on
the part of the team behind him the
score would have been much larger, Sew
eral times long flies were pulled down
In a sensational way by the outfelders,
Nine of the hits recorded for the Italians
were made during his stay in the box,

the only one to get safe one at all

the game.
David was the first man at the bat in
the last part of the ninth after the ST.
Anselm's team had tied the score in
the first part OF the inning, making a
total of six for each team. The crowd
of rooters for the home team were cheer
ing with yigor. David sent out a speedy
grounder that went through the pitcher,
but O'Connor who was stationed at sec
ond base. made a nice stop and got him
at first. Comolli came up and sent one
out to the shortstop, who fumbled il

to first on four balls and Giacamuzzi
faced the pitcher. The second ball
thrown was slammed with vengeance
into centertield and Comolli easily scored.
Other scores made by the Italians
came in the second. third and sixth in
nings. In the sixth they scored four,
and the other two one each inning. In
the second inning two hits and two men
passed on balls were responsible for the
single score and in the third series OF
three hits by Comolli, Weafer and Or
celia in succession brought in the other.
/ There might have been another but for
! Tomasi. who was running for Weafer.
/ He tried to get home on passed ball
but was caught.

| had their big rally. Giaca muzzi, the
| first man up, walked. CRAM hit one
out to short stop and was safe at first
after an error by lgoe. On this play
Giacamuzzi advanced to third and while
Ricciarelli was striking out, Grant went
