MAJOR LEAGUE BALL
American League

Three games were played in the
American League yesterday, al
though, as announced in these col
umns yesterday, no game beside the
Washington Cleveland game was
scheduled. They were play of
postponements during the present
season. So
Nationals are still half a game be-
hind the Tigers, though through no
fault of their own, as it has been
the Boston Red Sox that have been
keeping the Detroit athletes down
while Washington has lost the ser
les to the Indians.
Grifith's clan opens series in the
Windy City today, but it is doubt
full whether the Griffmen will do bet
ter here than they have been doing
in Cleveland as the White Sox are
playing stellar ball now and de-
feating their opponents right along.
Only half game, three small points
to be exact, separate the White Sox
from the Red Sox, and it rs lively
tussle between these two clubs for
first place honors. Both have won
consecutively for number of days
and have been separated by half
game ever since the first part Of the
week.
Cleveland and the Yanks are tied
first place, and st. Louis is climb
ing up on the Nationals.
Yesterdays scores:
Cleveland, 8; Washington, 0 :.
Detroit, 8; Boston, 5;
Chicago, 8; Athletics, 2.
Schedules for today:
Washington at Chicago.
New York at Detroit.
Boston at St. Louis.
Philadelphia at Cleveland.

Standing of Clubs
National League.

It is a singular thing indeed, but
it seems as if the National League
clubs take keen delight in playing
extra inning games this season. Yes
terday two games went overtime in
this circuit by three innings and four
innings respectively. All the games
are close and the club standing is
close and the teams are drawing big
crowds.
The, Brooklyn Dodgers are keeping
up their winning pace and widened
the Adherence between themselves
and the Braves yesterday by one
more game. Phillies, although the
standing shows them: to be. three
points behind the Braves, are really
even with them, in the matter of
games won :and lost, the former hav-

BY A BRITISH ARMY STAFF OFFICER

The battle around Verdun pres
ents TO the military men one OF
the most interesting and instruc-
tive phases OF the war. Primarily.
II will probably decide which is
the better OF the two utterly op-
posite methods Of warfare-ths
French or the German.
This is the third big attempt OF
the Germans TO drive through
the opposing lines by sheer weight
OF numbers. As in the previous of
fences on the western front no
consideration Is being given 10 in
dividual loss. the Prussian theory
still being that the loss of nine
teen men Is worth while, II the
twentieth arrives at tho desired
position. The Allies. on the other
hand. have consistently gone on
the theory that the preservation
OF the individual unit was OF the
greatest importance and-with the
exception OF the occasions at the

II was necessary to give no
thought 10 possible losses in order
To hold tho line for the time be-
ing-there has been on the Allied
SIDE the strictest possible Conser-
walton Of men and materials.
Another point OF interest is that
this is the first time since the
famous retreat OF the Allies that
there has been any real hand-to-
hand fighting on the Western
Front by large masses of troops.
Also. to a great extent il is dem
onstraung the truth OF Napoleon's
saying that God fights on the
side which has the heaviest artil-
lery." The German heavy artillery

have prevented their foe from
crossing open spaces To important
positions. Just which side Ma
poleon's theory is going TO apply
TO has yet 10 be decided.

by chain OF highly protected

point OF view. an ideal place to de

there are other defences in and
