JUDGE HAS NARROW ESCAPE
That He Is Communicating
With Enemy.

London.-An English Judge had a
narrow escape from arrest on the
ground of signaling to the enemy. He
was taking q short holiday on the
East coast, and, as is customary with
him, was indulging in little dumb
bell exercise before retiring to rest.
The movements of his arms behind
the red blind of his bedroom attracted
the attention Of the sentries on the
cliffs. They thought someone was sig
mailing and fastened to the hotel to
capture the culprit. For some time
they refused to believe the judges
explanations, and it was only on being
shown the visitors book that they
withdrew.

OF ALL SORTS BOXING

Ad WoigdSt has never been accused
of having a streak Of yellow in his
makeup. Therefore, it is safe to say
that he is the Unli6kiest boxer in the
game. The Cadillac bearcat has been
forced to cancel more fights because
of injuries and sickness than any Of
the men now before the public. And
that means he has missed out on
some excellent purses.
Wolgast, who has Cancelled several
fights recently, has now been forced
to call off his match with Joe Man
dot, scheduled for Feb. IA in New
Orleans. He fears he will not be in
shape by that time to go through
twenty rounds at the gruelling pace
the New Orleans baker will force an
opponent to travel
Freddie Welsh will go twelve
rounds tonight against Johnny Grif-
fifth at Akron, O., the longest fight he
has engaged in since winning the
lightweight title from Willie Ritchie.
Since that 20-round battle in London
Welsh has specialized in 10-stanza
affairs. He is not meeting a soft one
in Griffith, as Charlie White discoV-
cred last year.
Nate Lewis believes that Charlie
White will be in shape to fight by
Feb. %. He is in touch with Pro-
moter Tom Andrews of Milwaukee
and wants to send Charlie into the
ring before a Milwaukee club to-
ward the latter part of the month.
Andrews knows White is big at
traction in Milwaukee aud is trying
to get Welsh for him Failing in that,
he will try to hook up Joe Shugrue
for the local lightweight. Their fight
in New York left the question of SUI
periority undecided and the question
should be decided before either go
after Welsh.

ton is to get the sanction of the
American Automobile association for
a 500-mile track race June 19. That
is a big boost for the speed game in
Chicago and insures an entry list of
the best race drivers in the country.
The majority of the cars and pilots
entered in the big Indianapolis 500
mile race will probably be shipped
here, as good purses are insured. The
manufacturers may cooperate with
the promoters, as a successful track
in Chicago would be a big boost for
the automobile industry in the west.
Satisfactory progress is being made
in the construction of the track. Fif-
teen trenches were dug to drain the
speedway, and lumber for the erec-
ton of the stands is beginning to
come in. The work will be completed
in time to allow for tuning up and
settling the track before the big
event.
Over thirty miles behind the record,
siX-day riders at the International
ampitheater are not lOafing, and one
team was forced out in the last IL
hours because of the stiff pace. Six
teams are tied for first honors. A
leaking roof has made the track Slip
perry and sprints are dangerous. The
MOran-McNamara team still seems to
be the class of the race and one Of
this pair has been responsible for the
majority of the spurts so far. The
Bgg-Verri combination is sticking in
the game tenaciously, and the Wal
thOr-Bede1 duo has been able to
meet every squirt.

London, Sept. 14-The Austro-Ger-
man army under Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg smashed ITS way to the
Rovno- Petrograd railway, between
Wilma and Dvinsk, in one Of many big
battles that ragged on the eastern front
from the Riga section to Galicia.
The move was costly in men and mu-
nitions. but from the German stand
point the position was absolutely essen
tial whether the Austro-G Germans dig In
for the winter or develop a campaign
having the Russian capital for its ulti-
mate goal.
The Russians have been sending a
continuous stream of re-enforcements
into Gnlicia for several days. and as
they have pushed their offensive on the
Sereth river the fighting has increased
in intensity until it has become as san
culinary as any In the whole war.
The cars armies are forcing the
Austrians back steadily. The Russians
are displaying great dash in their at
tacks. and much of the fighting has
been done at close range.
The opera tions in the west are
marked by the continuance of the great
artillery battle from Belgium to the
Argonne A duel between guns of all
callbers along the entire front has now
been going on for about three weeks
and in the last few days has been par
Hcrlarly violent around Arra', in the

JERSEY POUND FISHERMEN
COMPLAIN OF POOR CATCHES

Long Branch, Sept. 14:-Pound
fishermen along the Jersey coast
have had one of the poorest seasons
in years. The scarcity of fish will
mean a reduction in the number of
pounds next year There are fifty
two pounds along the coast and the
prediction is made that there will be
at least twenty-five per cent. reduc-
ton next year unless there is an in
crease in the catch within the next
few months.
Captain Nelson Lockwood of Cali
lee, says the increased number Of
pounds has been the means of cut
ting down the receipts Of the pound
men to a minimum. Already, he says,
several of the pound men have quit
because they have lost money. The
captain says this year thus far has
been the slowest in forty years.
