Rev. John T. Winters at the masses in St. Mary's church yesterday dis cussed at length some of the prelimin- ary plans for the formation of an ath- letic association among the members of the congregation, which will have as it's athletic home the field on Stan ley street adjoining the Catholic ceme- tery. tThe pastor suggested that the various Catholic societies appoint five delegates to meet in the near future and make the necessary plans for the organization of the association, which will be known as St. Mary's Athletic association. At the meeting of the St. Mary's Sodality yesterday afternoon, the first action was taken, and a com mittee of five will be appointed by the president.
 Since the first announcement by the pastor early in the fall of his intent to have such a field considerable interest has been manifested by the young men of the church, and the aim of the pas tor to have an organization of at least

500 men will no doubt be realized in a very short time. The women of the church will also be included in the mem bership.
 Work on preparing the field has been started, with the removal of some of the trees, and with little work it will take but short time to have it in readiness. It is the plan of Father Winters to have two or three baseball play, also one regulation diamond where the grown ups may play. There will also be two tennis courts, a bas- ketball court, a gridiron for football in season and running track. It is proposed to secure a capable assist ant for teaching the boys. The mem bers of the association will be assessed a fee when joining but thereafter the use of the grounds will be free. While the grounds will be mostly for Catho- lie people, members of other denomin- ations may partake of its benefits by paying whatever assessment will be levied by the officers of the association.
 Father Winters proposes to erect building on the field which will act as a waiting room, with comforts for women There will also be shower baths erected for the boys.
 The location of the field is one of the best in the city and is ideally adapted for the purpose. It is prob able that the entrance will be on Allen street

MIDNIGHT HOLD-UP
 ON STANLEY STREET
William Nugent Robbed of $61 When Near His Own Home at No.
 117O Stanley Street.

William Nugent of 117o Stanley street was the victim of a daring midnight holdup Saturday night when but a short distance from his home. An unknown man grabbed him by the throat and after showing him against a tree, rifed his pockets of $61 and disappeared Although the police have the supposed high wayman's name and a good descrip- ton, 1t Is not likely that he will be apprehended as he had too good a chance to escape.
 Nugent left Buffers saloon at mid night and it Is said that his condition was somewhat befuddled. He said that at the time of the hold-up a. couple of other men were nearby. but took no part in the robbery. Im- p1odiately after he had been relieved of his roll he hastened back to the saloon and gave the alarm. The police hurried to the scene but found no trace of the robber.
 Detective Bamforth visited the saloon yesterday morning and learned the saloon shortly after Nugent. after flashing his roll, walked out. Inves- tigation showed that several new men, former lumberjacks from Maine, had been sent to the Clayton brick yards during the week by a Boston employment agency and .yalirie Sobcl, Mat West, Alex John- son and Frank Gross were arrested on suspicion when 1t was found that they were out Late Saturday night,

MT. Mclean has no announcement regard to his reported candidacy for reelection. Some of his friends fear that ex-Senator Bulkeley will fight Mclean for the nomination, if not for reelection. They say they do not know what the former senator will do, but they express confidence that whatever he may do, he can't beat Me- Lean.
 However, it has been said by Con- affection of the Mclean element had a good deal to do with the defeat of Charles Goodwin, the republican can didate for governor, several years ago, after Goodwin, with the help of Nc Lean and others had captured the gu bernatorial nomination, for which Everett J.

BOAT THAT HALTED KANSAN
WAS NOT SUBMARINE U-53
Captain and Crew Tell How
Ship Was, Stopped and
Papers Examined

BOSTON, Oct. 9.-The American
steamer Kansan, which was stopped by
German submarine off the Nantucket
lightship early Sunday and later allowed
to proceed, arrived here today. Captain
l.. l.. Smith and members of the crew
said they were unable to determine the
identity of the undersea boat. Some of
the crew, however. when shown a pho
tograph of the U-53, which put into
Newport on Saturday, declared the sub
marine which stopped the KanSan was of
another type, having a different ar
rangement Cf masts.
Captain Smith said the Kansan left
New York at 10 a. m. Saturday, bound
Cor ST. Nazire. France, and Genoa, by
way to Boston, where she was to take
on cargo Of horses for the allies. In
her hold were $500 tons of iron and
steel intended for use in the manufacture
of munitions.
At 4:35 Sunday morning, when the
Kansan was three miles south of the
Nantucket lightship, the captain heard
snot. He ordered the vessel stopped,
but before the engines halted a second
shot was fired. The submarine then
appeared off her bow.
A youthful German officer came on
the deck of the submarine and asked
where the Kansan was bound Captain
Smith sent Chief Officer Hugh McNa-
mara to the submarine in ships boat
with the Kansans papers. The exam
nation occupied about an hour. The

SEE DANCER
OF ANOTHER FRYE CASE
German U-BoatS So Far APP
pear to Have Kept With
in the\LaW

WASHINGTON, Oct. POSSIBILITIES
of diplomatic complications over the
erman submarine raid along the New
England coast seemed today to point
toward the allies as well as Germany.
Officials found no reason today to
change their first impression that the
submarine operations had been conduct
ed so far within the limitations of in
ternational law. However, destruction
of an American ship carrying contraband
might easily cause another Frye case
and any loss of life in any case might
easily reopen the whole submarine ques-
ton. The threatened complication with
the allies lies in their contention that
submarines, because of their nature,
should be excluded from all neutral
ports.
The position Of the United States has
been to decide on it's merits the case of
each submarine entering an American
port. Inasmuch as the German sub
marine which entered Newport Satur-
day took no supplies, asked for no
privileges and departed almost imme
diately, it is not thought that she raised
any issue.
The general opinion prevailing today
was that with the gathering of allied
cruisers off the New England coast the
submarines would desert that field and
strike their newt blows further south.
Some officials expected to hear of OPP
erations in the gulf of Mexico, where
a persistent story says a German base
has been established, and where the
submersibles could strike at the fleets
of tank ships, carrying fuel oil to the
British navy from the Mexican fields,
upon which the British depend almost
entirely.

ALABAMA FAIR. EXHIBITS
BOOKED FOR LAKEWOOD
Secretary StripIin Returns
From Successful Trip to
Birmingham

R. NJ. Striplin. secretary of the South
eastern fair, returned Monday from
Birmingham with most of the exhibits
at the Alabama State Fair booked for
the Lakewood exposition.
Alabama has assembled an unusually
fine show this year, he said. Fully
partments have been booked. The best
of the agricultural. live stock, and
machinery exhibits are coming.
This feature alone will add largely
to the Southeastern fair. The fact that
such a large proportion of the eX-
hibits are coming will mean that hun
dreds of exhibitors and visitors will at
tend to see the Alabama products in
comparison with those of the other
southeastern states.
The installation of exhibits was go
ing ahead rapidly Monday. Fulton coun-
ty had practically completed setting
up its display in the agricultural build
ing.
Tents and concession stands were 60
ing up all over the grounds. The large
lecture tent has been erected. The
big top for the automobile depart
ment was being hoisted; the model cot
tage, completed Saturday, was being
furnished; the race track was being
worked after the rains of Sunday and
merchants and manufacturers were put
ting the finishing touches on their dis
plays in the Liberal Arts building.
Crowds are beginning to come to the
city already for the fair. Most of these
are advance men for the shows attach
ed to the Old Dominion Shows, the
chief carnival attraction for Lark
land; concessionists and representatives
Of tha manufacturing houses who are to-
exhibit in the machinery department.
BY Tuesday the agricultural displays
will begin arriving. The cattle and
horses will follow. Toward the middle
of the week the COWS will begin reach
ing the city and special trains with the
western cattle and hog displays will

GERMANS ROUTED
FROM STRONGHOLD
BY BRITISH TANK
No Cavalry Charge Ever Was
More Brilliant or Picturesque
Than Rush of Great Land
Cruiser
BY FREDERICK PALMER.
(Correspespondent Of Associated Press
with the British Armies in FranceO

with the British Armies IN Erances)
WITH THE BRITISH ARMIES IN
FRANCE, Oct. S.-(Midnight}-(Vi
London, Oct. 9)-A fight to a finish be-
tween a tank and 'the tangle" was the
outstanding feature of the capture OF
LeSars by the British yesterday and
their advance in that neighborhod- The
tangle was a good sample of the meth
DDS of defense the Germans are using
since leaving their old fortifications. 1t
was a strong point with a maze of dug
outs, reinforced by concrete, which had
been especially constructed as rallying
point at which machine guns could play
on the infantry on both flank and front.
Shells Of the largest caliber were unabla
to put all the machine guns out of &C
tion. ..-
Clearly this job was for tank" said
a British staff officer, and one or the
worst ever attacked. No rush OF any
torpedo destroyer under the guns of d
battleship, no cavalry charge on record
was more gallant, daring or pictures
que"
Since the taking Of Euacourt Lab
baye, British bombing parties had made
many rushes on "the tangle" and the
Germans had met showers of bombs
with showers.
DEATH OR VICTORY.
The fire had smashed much OF the
cement making the advance for the in-
fantry more difficult in the midst of the
bewildering turns. Neither bullets nor
bombs could harm the tank but 1t was
bound to be under heavy shell fire. For
the commander and crew 1t was death
or success.
With a peculiar grumbling and rum
bling noise the tank started off. Shells
dropped all around II, covering 1t with
earth, but II seemed to lead charmed
life. 1t warped itself up to that ruin
ed fertilization, managed to cross over
the upheavel Of cement blocks and blaz-
ed it's own machine guns into the dug
outs and into the German machine gun
positions. The tank seemed to draw all
kinds of fire and at times was hidden
by shell smoke and dust from explos-
ions But everytime the pail raised II
could be seen moving over the creators
made by the shells aimed at IT, with bull
let's and shell fragments rafting on its
side It's business was to clear "the
tangle" and 1t succeeded.
The British maintained the position,
gained in front Of lie Sars yesterday.
They are close to another German strong
point which the British gunners have
named "the gunners' delight" This is
Butte de Warlencourt, a sort of tumulus
which is an ideal target.
The gunners have torn the top on Of 1t
and blasted 1t out of it's former contour
on the sky line.
The Germans made another strong
counter attack at 8 o'clock this morn
ing on the British positions beyond
Thiepval and succeeded in getting into
a portion of the British trenches. Later
the British returned to the battle and
after bloody hand-to-hand fighting re-
covered the trenches and took the sur
vivors of the garrison prisoner.
