PHILADELPHIA. Pa, May 23.-The
Mackmen, rallying behind Elmer

them back into second place and en-
abling the Washington Griffmen to
climb to the dizzy pinnacle.
When Larry Lajoie went to bat in
the eighth inning the score was to
4, with Cleveland on the long end.
Bagby had two strikes and no balls
on the veteran when he determined
to make him bite at bad ball. This
is hard to do-so hard that Bagby
did not get away with II. and Larry
drew n pass Walsh and Pick emit

and none out when Stellbauer walk

Stellbauer brought Larry home
with a long sacrifice ny to Speaker,

was our hero, Sure-eye Elmer. A
moment later the multitude roared
with delight as Elmer shot 9 vicious
double down the right field foul line,
scoring Walsh with the tying run.
Witt literally kept the ball rolling
with a one-base blow to left, which
counted Pick and Myers. Schang
walked and Strunk singled to left,
The crowd was beginning to believe
the massacre would continue until
darkness closed in. when Strunk
mercifully got himself thrown out in
Q. vain attempt to reach second on
the throw to the plate.
The Indians fell upon Myers in the
first frame. scoring three runs be-

a counter attack and bettered that
total by one. Again in the second
the Indians belted Myers for two tall
! lies. and got another in the NTH.

A local Encouragement of heat seems

Lombard found in more than $4,000
observations that any intellectual ef-
fort. such as computing, composing. re-
citing poetry silently or aloud, and
especially that emotional excitement
such as a fit of anger, caused a gen
eral rise of temperature.
The rise was in most cases more
marked in the middle region of the
head than elsewhere. Strange to say
It was greater in reciting poetry ST.
Iently than in reciting it aloud. Doc
tor Lombard's explanation is that ''ip

ARMY OF ITALIANS
IN GRAVE DANGER
Terrific Austrian Drive Threat
ems to Cut 1t Off.
GREAT UNEAsINEss IN ROME
Vienna Reports That the italians Have
Been Driven From Their Entire
Positions On the Lavanne
Plateau.

Rome. "Italy's great hour has
struck" is the theme of the comment
of the public and the press on the news
that is being received from the front.
All the reports coming from the
fighting zone agree that the number of
Austrian troops now in action has been
more than doubled, and that the Aus
trian artillery, especially heavy, long
range guns, is daily increasing and un-
masking the imposing offensive pre-
pared by Austria with the object of
reaching the Alps above Vicenza, from
which the> Austrians would be able to
dominate the entire Venetian region
and threaten the flank and rear of the
main Italian Army occupying the prov
inces of Udine and Belluno.
Notwithstanding the snow-cc pped
mountain barriers the Austrian in
fantry is being launched in waves
which military observers say break
against the formidable resistance of
the Italians.
The Italian troops have now formed
their lines of defense and are holding
firmly all the passes and peaks from
which Italian officers say the forward
movement of the Austrians has not
only been successfully arrested, but the
Austrians have been dislodged from
several strategic positions taken in the
first rush of the offensive.
There are several indications to con-
firm the statement that the design of
the present strenuous campaign of the
Austrians on the Trentino front is to
prevent Italy from participating with
her troops in the struggle on the
French front and also to paralyze any
action aiming at the joining of the
Aviona and Saloniki forces for
simultaneous effect.

that the Italian defeat is steadily be-

The Austrian lines have been

ance having been captured. The
