FIERCE ATT ACkS
Russians Hurled By Divi-
.sions Against German
Invaders
FIRING MANY SHELLS
Teuton Positions Pierced, But Ber-
lin Claims Assailants Were Sub
sequently Elected

Berlin, March 25-The Importance
of the struggle around Ferdun natu-
rally overshadows interest in the con-
test on the eastern front, but the Ia
test dispatches show that hard fight
ing is in progress in the northern sec
tor of the Russian line.
The Russian, fire became intense on
the evening of March l9, More than
$4,000 shells, chiefly of heavy calibre
fell over small section of the front
near Postavy. German wire entangle-
ments and the front line trenches were
damaged by this fire.
At night the Russians attacked in
thick waves. The first two waves were
moved down before they reached the
acknowledgements. The third attack
pierced the German position on
front of less than 100 yards and the
assailants were elected by counter
attack led in person by regimen
tai commander. At dawn the Rus
slams made fourth attack, but II
was smothcred in the initial stages by
German artillery.
Four Russian divisions are said tn
have participated in these movements
The Germans were compelled to sum-
mon almost no reserves. Their losses
were heavier than on the two preced-
ing days of the fghtingj but it is as
serted that nevertheless they were
surprisingly small.
Activity of the Russians at other
points of Field Marshal Won Hinden-
burg's front is less marked. Compare
tive quiet prevailed on March IS along
Narocz Lakes except for a strong
night attack of the Russians which
was rcpulsed.
The losses sustained by the Rus
slams in these encounters are said to
nave been very heavy. Notwithstand-
ing the severity of the actions, no
concern is evident here. The state OF
public feeling was expressed by a
correspondent, who said: "The people
have no anxiety, because they know
Hindenburg is there.
Yesterday statement from the
German Army headquarters says that
on the Russian front the vicious at
tacks on the German lines in the
northern sector have been continued
both northwest and south Of Dvinsk.
All the assaults broke down, the state
ment declares. The text of the state
ment follows:
"While during the day the Russians
collected their forces only for a strong
advance against the bridgehead at
Jacobstadt east of Buschhof they un-
dertook during the night repeated at
tacks north of the Mitau-Jacobstadt
railway and an attempt to take us by
surprise south of Dvinsk, and exhaust
ed themselves in uninterrupted, fierce
storm attacks against our front north
of Widsy. All their attacks broke
down, with heavy losses in men un-
der our fire, or before our entangle-
mcnts in cases where they advanced
as far as that. Further south there
were no fresh attacks.

Tacoma will have baseball this
year, after all!
When Russ Hall announced to
his friends Saturday night that
Joe McGinnity and Frank Red
path had offered to give him the
club for nothing, In the interest
of maintaining Tiger club this
season, 1t was the first ray OF
hope extended to the baseball
fans this year.
All that Hall needs now is the
moral support of Tacoma. The
Commercial club and Rotary club
should show their civic enthus-
iasm by getting behind Hall and
insuring him of success.
He doesn't need money SO
much as he needs promise of sup
port. For already group of
business men. whose names nave
not yet been announced, have Of
fered to help the Tiger team fin
ancially. OF course, Russ will
need funds to start the club off,
but IL Tacoma lives up to Ter
usual record for magnanimous
support of the Tacoma team, II
will be an easy matter to raise
the coin.
McGinnity is to be compliment
ed on his gameness. Realizing
that he could not handle the Ia
coma club of the Northwestern
league longer. he sent letter
to Hall Saturday admitting the
fact and offering Hall the CLUB.
He merely asked that Hall nay
the outstanding Indebtedness
against the club, amounting to
s365.75, agreeing to turn over
all his stock and that of Redpath
as soon as Russ agreed to the
proposition.
McGinnity is not announcing
what he intends to do, but It Is
believed that he will either get
the Butte or Great Falls teams.
In the meantime, It is up TO
Tacoma to support Russ Hall,
and do It quickly. Everyone
knows Halls reputation as ball
team manager. He is the sort Of
man who turns out winning

COMING
TUESDAY

Frank Farmer, the Kapowsin
logger boxer, will arrive In Taco
ma tomorrow night and begin
training Immediately for his
match next Monday night with
Fighting Billy Murray.
Farmer was signed by tele-
graph Saturday night. Paul Steele
of the Tacoma School OF Boxing,
who Is staging the smoker, de-
cided that Sid Mitchell was too
light for a match with Murray,
and, rather than disappoint the
fans, sent a hurry-up message to
Farmers manager. An agree
ment on terms was effected with
in an hour, and Howard replied
that he would have Frank in fa-
coma Tuesday.
Farmer Is popular with Taco
ma fans. In every bout that he
has engaged In here, he has been
given the bulk of the applause.
Recent experience through the
east qualities him to meet star
OF Murray's caliber, and he will
have a real chance to demon
strate himself. Because of re-
cent undeserved criticism, Farm
or will do his best here to defect
Murray.
Two other bouts were an
nounced today by Manager
Steele. They are between Scotty
McCohen of Portland and Jack
Hartford of Tacoma, and between
AL Whitman and Ray Hunt, both
pupils of Steele's school.

Gun Tourney
On Tomorrow

l.. 8. Melhnger. an enthusiastic
member of the Tacoma Gun
club, has offered a gold medal
for the person getting high score
under a handicap tournament to
begin March and continue 10
days. The shoots will probably
be held on the 10 successive
Sundays and holidays.
The grand opening of the club
takes place tomorrow, with a
shoot for all members at the
Manitou traps. Some of the
members practiced yesterday,
making the following scores out
Of 100 shots:
Dague, 95; Griffin. "a; Young,
90; Baker, 81; Scofield, So; Lite,
So; Campbell, 81; Graham, so;
Bales, II; Gilchrist, IA; Melting
Or, 40.

and balls and gloves. Last
year we didn't start until
March.
Regardless of everything
that has been said of Joe Nc
Ginnity, we nave to show
our respect for him over the
graceful manner which he
gave up the Tiger team. Only
a man of pretty good sport
ing blood could admit defeat
In such a straightforward
manner. It's whole lot
easier to win at anything
than to admit that you are
beaten.
After all the fun that's
been made of him, Frank
Farmer will have a real in
centive to win when he meets
Fighting Billy Murray In Ia
coma next week. And we'll
bet that Frank, won't wear
a mask when he jumps into
the ring, either.
Because certain interests
in Tacoma were not allowed
to dictate to Paul Steele who
he should name for his
smoker card, they are trying
to. discredit every boxer
whom Paul suggests. II
shows the caliber of some of
the so-called sporting men"
of our fair city. Their mot
to is whole hog or none.
Brooks Duff, who return
cd from Spokane to attend
the Elks' dedication, says
that the old town seems to
have lost something since he
was here last. He went
away shortly before Jan. /.
Yes, Duff, we have. Several
hundred gallons, in fact.
