DELAYED RAIN DUE
HERE TOMORROW
Wet Sunday Is Certain, De-
clares Forecaster- Mercury
on Upward Climb.

The rain which the forecaster ex-
pected to be in evidence today was
delayed, the weather man said, but
will be with us tomorrow, and prepa-
rations may safely be made for a wet
Sunday. Yesterday the mercury
climbed as high as IS, an altitude
reached but few times In the February
weather records, and dropped twenty
five degrees in twelve hours. The
slump was not for long and at noon
today the temperature was 40 with
every indication that it would go
much higher, and perhaps get into the
SOS again tomorrow. There was a
three mile east wind at noon and the
indications were that it would remain
in that quarter and freshen overnight
The highest temperature during the
week ending at m dnight Friday was
IS and the lowest 13. The average for
the week was 34.4 seven degrees
higher than the average of the pre-
ceding week and ten degrees higher
than the corresponding week of last
year. The prevailing wind for the
week was west and it's maximum
velocity eighteen miles. The mean
register of the barometer was 3016
and there was only trace OF rain.

tails of the British aerial raid on the
German air and naval bases in Bel

cause of me feeling that it's success
will greatly interfere with the pro-
posed German submarine blockade
scheduled Thursday. 1t is considered
certain that some at least of the sub
marine bases inside of the harbor and
at the canal mouth at Zeebrugge and
in the vicinity of Ostend have been
destroyed. 1t is believed here the
base for previous channel raids was
Zeebrugge. If any submarines or
their parent craft were destroyed in
difficulty replacing them. Also, the
raid conclusively demonstrated that
the aerial wing of the British army is
capable of repr.sal.
1t Is admitted that this is the first
of a number Of new raids planned.
Where the next blow will be struck
only the admiralty knows, but there is
little doubt that if the f1iers have their
way it will be against the German
bases near Cuxhaven. 1t is stated
that Flight Commander Claude Gra-

into the sea, is now fully recovered.

as removing further danger OF an in
vasion OF that province. They point
to the Russian report of the battle SIS
an indication of the completeness of
the defeat, as it admits that the Rus

The victory Is especially priced be-
cause Of the Illustration Of plans for
a strong offensive which the Russians
are believed TO have been preparing
in this region.
The capture OF $1,000 prisoners re-
ported in the German Official commu-
nication, means that practically an
entire army corps has been put out
OF the fighting. The fact that the
number of guns captured is compara
lively small Is commented upon In

have lost a third Of their artillery
through capture, are now insufhcient-
ly equipped in this arm OF the ser

BINGLE AND BUNGLE
IN DIAMOND DOPE

The clubbing of Shag Thompson was
one of the bright features to the game
from an Athletic standpoint. The South
erner had four hits in as many trips to
the plate His last hit was a line smash
to the bleachers for two bases.
Dick Hoblitzel made one of the prettiest
plays seen at first base at either park
this season when he stepped in front
of Barry and scooped up Woods bad
toss. Wood was falling as he threw the
ball. and 1t was nasty ball to handle
under any circumstances and still more so
through the fact that the ball was so
close to Barry. That play saved the
game for Boston.
Jack Lapp's unfamiliarity with first
base was apparent when he made an un-
necessary throw to third, fearing that
Lewis was going to try to advance twJ
bases on Hoblitzel's sacrifice in the third
inning. The throw was poor and Lewis
reached third. from where he Tailed on

1t Is an unusual thing for Bob shawkey
to strike out seven men, as he did yes

but put the bail over the plate too much.

balls should have handed the game TO
