STIRRING SITUATION
 AT BABRINA PASS
5000 Serbs Hold 10000 .Bulgars- Give Way and Fall on
 Enemy Suddenly.

Milan, Italy, Nov. IS, via Paris, 4:55 a. m.--An account of the recent fight ing before Babuna Pass, in southern Serbia, is forwarded by a war cor respondent of the Corrieri Della Sera. The Bulgarians, he says, were 10000 strong, the Serbians 5000.
 No serious resistance being possible for the Serbians on open ground, they fell back from Veles and Isvor and set up a defense where the road mar rows near Abdi Pasa at an elevation of 2,0O0 feet. The 10000 Bulgarians were grouped between Veles and Ba- buna Pass, supported by powerful artillery.
 The Serbs were hard pressed and for a time it seemed as though they must give way, which would have meant the loss not only of the army but of Mon astir. The situation was changed, however, by the tactics adopted by the Serbian commander, Col. Vassic. He permitted the Bu1garians to advance as far as the Perlepe road and then fell upon them with all his forces, smashing through their first and sec- ond lines with the bayonet and driv- ing the Bulgarians beyond Kotziak.
 On the following days the Bull garians attempted to recapture the lost positions, but the Serbians, though poorly supplied with food and muni- tions, were able to hold them back.

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 15.-The con- ference of the Association of Urban Universities, a branch of the National Education Association will open here tonight with a discusson on co-opera- tion between the cities and universi- ties in training for public service.

 ''As the public is awakening to the value and necessity of expert knowI- edge, so the universities are realizing as never before their duty to train men and women for municipal. state and national service. The munfcipal colleges are endeavoring to do for their cities some Of the things the state universities are doing so admir-. ably for their state."

 A new champion whose prowess still is generally doubted cannot afford to remain idle more than & year. Will lard's friends undoubtedly realize this fact and will urge him to meet the best of the present crop of heavies some time during the winter. Such a battle could be pulled off in Cuba, as was the Johnson contest. The promoters of the race track just outside of Havana are again willing to stage a contest and give assurance that the attendance will justify the hanging up of substantial purse for the bout.
 Willard will have to meet some of the big fellows who have been challenging him, and if he is a real champion he should not have much trouble cleaning them up.

The Shibes have become so unpopular that Quaker fans say they must sell out. Connie Mack owns half the club. and he will keep his stock. President Johnson is one of Mack's elosest friends, and he is eager to help the tall manager in his present embarrassing predicament.
 Nobody seems to know what the Shibes holdings are worth. The Ath- letics lost s1oo,o00s this year, it is said, and the clubs future is anything but brilliant. The team appears to be doomed for several years to come. It is believed that Mack win be pro- vided with new partnerx-

" HAVE you noticed the number
 of good centers produced
 this season? A few years = ~ ago there was a scarcity of good middle men. Last season there were 8 few, while this year there have been a number. Of course they are no ketcham, no man to stand out like the old Yale star. However. man like ketcham is produced once in a decade. Among this seasons stars are McEwan of West Point, Way of Yale, Cool of Cornell, Baxter of Dartmouth, Wallace of Harvard Gennert of Princeton and Peck of Pittsburgh ~.
 McEwan has played a steady game for the Army's boys in the early games. He Is of the rangy type and is all over the field. Cool has also put up a bril- liant game for the Ithacans Many ex- perts say Baxter of Dartmouth is the best center of the year. It is safe to state that he was not outplayed by any of the opposing centers whom he faced &in Ehe Hanover boys early contests {way of Yale has put up steady game isince the opening of the season too Princeton has no mean middle man in 8Gennert. This fellow has certainly played well in all of the Tigers games.
 Experts when selecting their man for Rcenter position on the mythical All 2American team will have no easy task, ISas there is so much material to select from. However, one can tell better After the big games are over.

In the Oil Fields
MARKET FOR LEAD
AND ZINC STRONG

The prices paid for lead and jack
in the Miami district last week sur
passed all previous records and so
did the sales and the total value Of
the product. Jack went to the phe-
nOmenal figure Of $135 per ton while
lead surpassed any price in its his
tory, selling at $72, jump of $l4 for
the week. Sales in the district were
in excess of two and half million
pounds of zinc and better than seven
hundred thousand pounds of lead.
The value of last weeks turnin was
in excess of $15O,O00 This is by far
the largest turnin and total value re
corded in the history of the Miami dis
trct Some predict a higher figure,
and say the price Of spelter justifies
the prediction. That as it may, never
before has the mining industry been
so prosperous and the operations so
great. The same can be said OF the
entire Missouri Kansas Oklahoma
field. The total value Of the output
in the mining districts Of the three
states, lead and zinc, was aboua
one million dollars for the week.
Following are the shipments i'm the
Miami district, in pounds with their
values, Of zinc and lead for the week
ending June 12 1915.
