Joined the strike that originated in
Yonkers, spread quickly to the Bronx
and now is designed to paralyzc all
surface car traffic in New York. Only
few cars were operated in Broad
way above Forty-sccond street and
traffic was intermittent on several
cross-town lines.
w. D. Mahon, president of the
Amslgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees, with
dozen organizers, held frequent
meetings during the day with the
strikers.
Missionaries" boarded cars in all
parts OF Manhattan in an effort to
induce the crews to strike. They re-
ported considerable success.
Distractions were placed on the
tracks OF the Third Avenue system
at several points to interfere with the
operation Of cars by strike breakers
and few cars were stoned, but the
disorder resulting from the strike was
not of serious nature.

Clothes Stolen, Bathers
Walk Home Baref00ted

R. H. Secord, chief clerk for the
Missouri Pacific rairoad in Omaha,
together with w. F. Reynolds, sought
the cooling waters of the municipal
beach at Carter lake Sunday. Now
they are seeking their clothes, which
were stolen while they were having a
merry time slashing about in the fresh

But the saddest part OF the story
is that both OF the unlucky bathers
had to wait until darkness came on
before they could return to the city.
They came trekking into town about
midnight, barefooted and wearing
hardly any more than the law allows.

Berlin Statement
On War Progress

Berlin (Via London), July 81
The following official statement was
issued tonight:
Western theater: Between the
Ancre brook and the Somme the en-
envy fire increased to the greatest
intensity.
English local attacks near Po-
zieres and Longueval were unsuc-
cessful.
South of the Somme and to the
east of the Mouse there we're lively
artillery battles.
Near La Chalade, in the western
Argonne, Lieutenant Baldamus put
his fifth opponent in an aerial battle
out of action. In addition to this one
enemy machine was shot down on the
eastern edge of the Argonne and one
was brought to earth to the east of
Sennheim.
Eastern theater: Army of Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg: Strong en-
envy patrols were prevented by our
fire from crossing the Duna. Railway
buildings on the Wilejka- Molodechno-
Minsk line being used for the trans
port of troops and also the railway
stations of Pogorjelzy and Horody-
shohy, on the front of the army group
of Prince Leopold of Bavaria were
successfully bombarded. In the eve
ming Russian attack south of Skro-
bowa broke down completely under
our fire.
Army group of General Won Lin
singer: The enemy attacks increased
in extent and intensity. With the ex-
ception of certain regions on the Sto-
bychwa front on the River
Stokhod, northeast OF Kovel -
they have been extended as far as
to the west at Beresteck. They broke
down with tremendous losses, mostly
under our curtain of fire. Only at
certain points of the entire front did
it come to hand to hand fighting.
Everywhere the enemy had pene-
trated he was elected by our counter
attacks or his advance was restricted.
In the course of the night the with
drawal, which had been planned for
long time from the Stokhod curve,
which projects toward the east and
north of the Kovel-Rovno railway

ence from the enemy.

SHEROD SMITH Is
HERO OF SERIES
! Boy Who Used to Work With Green.
wood Team in Cotton States Is
BrOOklyn's Star.

Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared and the dead are being re.
moved it will be interesting to look
a bit at the man in whom Brooklyn
had it's only bit of joy during the Sc
ries-Sherod Smith. Smith is a pro-
duct of the Cotton States League and
at one time played for Greenwood in
that aggregation.
Hugh S. Fullerton in the New York
Times says some very congratulatory
things about Smith, while at the same
time he says that Smith is a second
rater in a third-rate league. Smith
without a doubt is the surprise of the
World Series. Following is a part of
what Fullerton said about Smith:
Mr.. Smith is a left-hand hurler who
has been regarded as rather a joke.
He was not eve figured to pitch a full
game in the worlds series, and &C.
cording to today's dope we may ex-
pect Robinson to pitch Wheeler Dell
tomorrow. Anyhow, he sent Smith
to the slab, and Smith, a second-rate
pitcher in a third-rate league, pro-
ceeded to pitch one of the grandest
games of ball ever seen, He went
fourteen innings before he made a
mistake, and he went fourteen in
nings of as fast and as brilliant base
ball as any M wants to see. He out
guessed, outgeneraled, and stopped
the Red Sox. He gave his team every
chance to win, and it must be admitted
that the Brooklyn team lodges when
it has the chance. 1t scored a run off
Babe Ruth because one terrific drive
by Hy Myers skipped through two
outfelders and went as a home run.
Brooklyn had only one more logical
chance to cor a run, and on that oc-
casion Mowrey was cut down at the
plate and the chance was ruined,
We will hear from Brooklyn that
the breaks of the game all went
against the Dodgers. This is true,
and at the same time untrue. On two
occasions, the ninth and tenth innings
Of the battle, luck favored Boston.
But, after it had favored the Red Sox
and allowed them to get within reach
ing distance of the plate, it at once
switched and favored Brooklyn in pre-
venting scores.

tensive plans are now being made by
the city officials to welcome her back
home with appropriate ceremonies.
And the residents Of the surrounding
towns are to be invited to participate
in the exercises in honor if this little
Mississippi girl who has astonished
the entries world with her skill and
~fearlessness as a fier.
Besides risking death in the clouds
in the afternoon by presenting the
far-famed and perilous loop-the-loop
and upside down flights, she will offer
the dread death drop" the hair
raising and nerve-tingling flying feat
that killed the late Lincoln Beachey.
By a singular coincidence, her spec
ially-constructed biplane is equipped
with the powerful 80-horsepower mo-
tor that was in the machine of
Beachey when he took his fatal plunge
into San Francisco Bay.
Although her afternoon stunts in
hooking death and haunting the un-
dertakers are so hazardous they are
attempted by very few other aviators,
even they do not measure up to her
night flight for spectacularity and
sensationalism. When she first scars
into the clouds for her nocturnal
journey, her every move is marked by
burning magnesium flares.
While the great crowd of spectators
is ~vociferating its admiration and ap-
Of this incomparably beautiful
sight she touches off specially pre-
pared fireworks that pour in brilliant
showers from the wings Of her BIZ
plane. And then she starts her loops,
resembling as she somersaults again
and again in the clouds, a giant pyro-
technical pinwheel.
Because of the great demand for
her death-defying feats throughout
the country, little Miss Stinson will
be able to appear at the Mississippi
State Fair IN Tuesday, October "a,
only. And she will present her matt
nee and night exhibitions in jackson
in the face Of rain, sleet, cyclone or
snow.
