II ONDON, November 26.--Al-
IL though the ustro-Germans
are redoubling their efforts to crush
the Serbians and fofce of Ger
mans has been hurried to Southern
Serbia to stiffen the Bulgarian Of
fensive against the Anglo French,
the developments in the Balkans
yesterday were highly encouraging
to the Entente.
Early yesterday the dispatches
from. Athens brought the news that
Greece has definitely agreed ito
meet the demands of the Entente"
and through Premier Skorloudis
had guaranteed to fulfill all her OBJ
legations. Whether this means
eventual armed participation ON the
part of Greece or not has not been
made clear, but the pledges dis
pose of at least any hostility on the
part of Greece or any check to the
use of Greek base for the Allies
in the Balkan campaign.
Greece To Be Indernnified
The complete adjustment be-
tween Greece and the, Entente is
credited to the visits paid to Athens
by Lord Kitchener and Al. Cochin,
the Serbian minister Of war, and
to the presentation of the facts be-
fore King Constantine and the Gre
clan prime minister Of the pre-
paredness of the Allies for the fur
ther carrying on the war. The gen
eral understanding in Athens is
that the Allies have agreed to in
demnify Greece after the war for
any damage that may be done
through the occupation Of Greek
territory.
From Petrograd comes word that
a large Russian force is masSed on
the Russian border and that the
Gar has sent word to King Peter
to hold out for another week, when
Russian troops will be in Serbia
and Bulgaria and on the left flank
of the Austro-Germans.
This is taken to mean that Ru-
mania has agreed to allow the
passage of Russian army through
Rumanian territory, while in some
quarters the. news of the Cars
pledge to Serbia is taken to mean
that a Rumanian force will accom-
pany the Russians into the theater
of the Balkan fighting.
Equipped With japanese Guns
This Russian army is reported to
be the best equipped yet put into
the field by the Slavs, being out
fitted practically entirely with
Japanese equipment and having a
large numbA of Japanese heavy
gunF suitable for siege work. This
leads to the belief that the eXpedi-
ton has Adrianoplc and CONSTANT
norlc for its objectivcs.
The third item of satisfactory
news to reach here is the announce
mcnt that an Italian expedition Of
fortv thousand u'2n is almost ready
to disemblrk at Salonika to REIN
force the Anglo-French in the
south This expedition, with an
equal number Of French and Brit
iSh re u(orcements believed to be

withdrawal of the Germans from

which have been built formidable

A friendly sun and the promise OF
warm weather for the initial battle
assured large crowd. Preparations
have been made for an overflow as
semblage and ropes will be stretched
around the field if the mob spills out
of the stands. In this case ground
rules will prevail.
There were grounds for gfreat
encouragement in the spirit dis:
played by the fans assembled.
More of the personal relations be-
tween players and spectators was ev-
idenced than has been seen since the
old Chance rabble was grinding out
remnants for the west side. Each
player came in for share of the ap-
plause and was heartened and nerved
to try his best by shouted words of
commentator.
And that is as it should be. No BALI
team can succeed with an antagonis-
tic crowd on it's own home lot. Play
ers expect opposition from fans of
alien cities, but it is just as natural
for them to want to stand well with
the home folks. 1t gives them an in
centive to exert themselves and play
the game in an earnest and enthusi-
astic manner.
In the past three or four seasons
there has been an utter lack of SYM
pathy between the players and west
side fans. Woe to the athlete who
made a poor play, for he was derided
and not allowed to forget his miscue,
for one day at least. The slightest
pretext was seized on to ride" a
player and make his life miserable.
The result was foregone concIu-
sion. The player, seeing that his eff
forts were not appreciated, in time
began to lose heart and took little in
terest in his work. That was respon-
sible, in large measure, for the fact

dreds of gaily decorated autos are to

After the park is reached there will

tainment by cabaret singers and song
pluggers. Two bands have been hired
for the occasion, Director Bramhal

feature.
Main interest, of course, centers in
the athletes. They are the boys who
will put on the real entertainment, for
which the fans have been waiting for
months.
At 10 o'clock Manager Bresnahan
gave out his final lineup, the only I'M
certainities being second base and
center field. Vaughn was named as
the pitcher and Jimmy Archer will be
behind the bat. Bresnahan himself
is in shape to catch, but he figures
that Archer's popularity entities Jim
to first show before the home popu-
lace. Vaughn had light workout
yesterday and declared himself fit.
Bresnahan's uncertainty about two
positions is caused by Miller Higgins
reticence in announcing his pitcher.
The choice has narrowed down to
two men, Slim Sallee and, Bill Doak.
