Directs His Team From A

New York, July 12-Something new
in baseball has been inaugurated by
Harry Wolverton, manager Of the
San Francisco club Of the Pacific
Coast League. The former leader Of
the New York Yankees has been con-
Quoting the field baseball campaign
of the Seals from his bed by the aid
of telephone and telegraph wires.
Wolverton, who was seriously in
jured in an automobile accident, de-
cided that he could manage his team
Just as we'll from the hospital bed as
the bench. Wires were installed from
the Seals dug-out at the baseball park
to Wolverton's bedside and he was
kept informed of every move of the
opposing teams. When his club was
out of town telegraph wire was sub
stituted for the phone and the dis
abled manager made suggestions, fol-
lowed the play and in general dictat-
ed the field policy of the Seals in the
same manner he would have done
had he been on the players bench

DAYTON
Firm Gets Contract For ".
Vine Street Paving
|. c. Wright Of This City
Get Two Sewer Contracts

Boyd & Cook of Dayton and G. Lou
Wright of this city split up on the
paving and sewer contracts let Sat
urday afternoon by the board of con.
troll, the former firm securing three
of the contracts and Wright two. The
results were practically as forecasted
in Saturdays edition of the Banner.
These were the contracts that had
to be re-advertised because, after the
bids were originally in, it was found
that necessary legislation had not
been passed by council Though
overt, the action has saved the city
several hundred dollars, in that all
contractors formerly bidding were
forced to reduce estimates, since each
was acquainted with the others
figures.
The contracts Saturday were
awarded as follows:
West Vine street paving and drain
Boyd G Cook (wire cut lug), SIT,
2S5.5O.
Braddock street district-Boyd &
Cook, $2,120.4O.
East Front street sewer-Boyd &
Cock, $1,472.
| Howard street severe. Lou
Wright, $2,513.
Oak street severe. Lou Wright
$301.6O.
The figures given above do not rep
resent the actual amount of money
that will be paid the contractors fol
the jobs. They are merely the tabu
lated figures and were made in ordel
to ascertain the low bidders.

PLANS
For Inland River Motor Boat
Prepared By Local Man

Plans for an inland river motor
boat which will not draw over five
inches of water when loaded and
which has an air propeller were sub
mitted last week by Game Warden e.
T. Penrose of this city to Chief War
den John c. Speaks of Columbus and
the same was accepted.
Warden Penrose, while in Louisi-
ana, constructed a number of motor
boats similar to the present design
and when he heard of Speaks desire
for a boat navigable in shallow wa
ters, he submitted his ideas.
Work ON constructing the boat was
started Monday by Warden Penrose
1t will be 16 feet in length and will
be made of cypress wood. If the
boat meets with Speaks approval, II
is probable that Penrose will secure
contracts for making number OF
these boats.

MT. VERNON
Defeated The Indians By
Score Of 8 To 3

After considerable discussion over
the advisability of playing, the Carl
isle Indians and the local club started
their game Sunday afternoon after 8
o'clock. Mt. Vernon won, to 8.
The largest crowd of the season
was on hand to witness the contest
and as no tickets had been sold at the
gates, the sale was started after the
game had commenced.
The presence of woman, Princess
Hiawatha, in the Indians lineup
proved very interesting. She pitched
for three innings and succeeded in
striking out number of local bats.
men. Though several bingles were
secured, she was hit anything but
freely.
At bat Princess Hiawatha secured
one hit, made two sacrifices and
struck out once-a very creditable
record indeed.
Art Bond, of the defunct Lima club
was on the mound for Mt. Vernon anG
pitched very good ball. He kept hits
we'll scattered and was in control Of
the situation all the time. His slaf
work has greatly improved since his
experience with Lima, and he will
prove of great strength to the loca
pitching staff this season if he re
mains here.

Germans Cease Offensive Oper.
atlOns In the West
ALLIES NAY TAKE The LEAD

British Military Critics Agreed That
the Counter Attack OF the Russians
Has Postponed For a Time the Ne
ceesity For Any Further Retirement
Of the SIav operations In
the West.
London, July 12.-The check which
the Russians have imposed on Arch.
duke Joseph Ferdinand's army in
southern Poland and the additional
strain which this has placed on the
German General Won Mackensen's
army to the right has postponed, it is
believed in military circles here, the
threatened German offensive in the
west, and there Is now possibiilt;,
that the allies will be the first to take
| the offensive.
In support Of this il is pointed out
that the attacks by the German crown
princes army in the Woevre, which
the German press announced was the
| commencement Of general move for.
ward, have ceased, and what fighting
is going on along the western front
consists Of artillery engagements and
. few isolated attacks and counter at
tacks by infantry, which make little
or no difference in the positions of the
| opposing forces.
The British, according to the French
report, have repulsed German at.
tack. The German reports, however,
allude to this as British attack and
Berlin says 1t was repulsed with con.
siderable loss. In fact, the French and
German reports are generally contra
dictory in respect to what fighting has
taken place, but from the trend Of
them it is evident that neither side
has attempted anything of decisive
nature, and it is believed here that IL
may be weeks yet before they do.
30 far as the Germans are con-
are bound to carry out their offensive
against the Russians until there Is
some decisive engagement, such as
the capture Of the Lublin-Cholm rail.
way, which it Is asserted would have
been In their hands before now If the
Austrians advancing toward the city
had not been driven back.
Reports from neutral sources are tc
the effect that to make good their ef
forts against the Russians the Ger
mans are moving troops which were
intended for the western front to the
east. To certain extent this seems
confirmed by the statement in the
Russian official report that reinforce
ments have reached Archduke Joseph
Ferdinand and that General Won Mac
kensen also commenced an offensive
which, however, broke down under
the Russian fire.
While the military critics are still
undecided whether the Russians vii
make their stand on their present
lines or fall back to the Bug river
thus abandoning the fortresses o
Ivangorod and Warsaw, 1t Is agreed
that the counter attack which the.
have developed has postponed for
time at least the necessity for any fur
ther retirement.
There is no further news of the re
ported Italian victory on the Cors'
plateau, but dispatches from Rom
say the Italian troops are making goo,
, progress in their work of capturin
the mountains around Trieste, whicl
they hope to take before commencin
the advance on the city itself, thu
, avoiding a bombardment Of the towr
J which is largely inhabited by thei
I compatriots.

THRILLING
Experience Of Mansfield Boy
When Motorcycle Broke
Down In Desert
Mansfield News)

hNhohohCio ANS"oJ
Charles F. Williams, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles S. Williams, Of Blymyer
avenue, had the thrilling experience
of being caught on the desert alone
when his motorcycle broke down
while he was making trip through
a California desert last month. Word
has just been received from the
young Mansfield man of some of his
adventures while on trip to Cali
fornia.
For the past year, the young man
has beena student at the State School
of Mines at Socorro, N. M. He left
there early in June for trip to San
Francisco and San Diego to visit the
expositions. He then went to Red
lands, Cal, to secure a motorcycle
which had been left for him. He
started on trip through the Imper-
ial valley and across the mountains
, and desert for Socorro, N. M. He
states that in ascending one mountain
he had to ride zig gag every 200 feet.
Once the trail was so short that he
went over the side of the cliff dis
tance of about fifty feet to the next
projecting ledge. He was skinned up,
but managed to pull up the machine
by means of a rope and continue on
the trip. 1t was while in the middle
| of the desert that his machine broke
down and he was compelled to seek
other means to cross the desert. He
tried to repair some damage to the
tires but the sun was so hot that he
could do nothing. He pushed the ma
chine along until he got to the stage
coach trails. He waited until the
stage came and took him to Ell Cen
trail, CAL, from which point he took
the train back to Socorro, N. M.
The young man has sent to his
father a diary kept while making the
trip and some interesting items are
recorded.
