British Advance Further,

British headquarters on the French Front, via London, July 4.-Siege fighting continued yesterday beyond Friecourt the British taking Poodle and the bottom woods and advanced toward the main German second line of defense.
 The Associated Press correspondent today went over the territory prev iously taken by the British from the west of Montauban, through the fam ous Dantzig valley, where the Ger man nest of machine guns gave the British their greatest trouble in their first days attack on Mametz and F'riecourt, which TOW are being steadily shelled by the Germans. Of- fcers and mon who have been through the fighting said they had been regularly supplied with food, but they needed "a good wash" and that water was not to be had.
 The soldiers in the Dantzig valley Poodle woods the German sections, already having surrendered, came out holding up their hands. Thus body of more than 1000 men, after having been hammered necessarily with shell fire for four days dramatically sur rendered before the eyes of cores pondents.
 The British gunfire, so far as could be seen, was much heavier than the German, while, according to all re- ports from the front line. the Ger mans have withdrawn all their guns from the valley which is now con- trolled by the British, to positions on the ridge. Both Mametz and Erie court are virtually leveled. The earth and buildings by shell fire thrown into the communication trenches running through these will lages. Where the plenary lombard ment was most severe, German posi- tions in dugcuts 30 feet deep did not save their defenders from the big shells and trenches became formless heaps of earth. Bits of the green German uniforms, flesh and guns were mixed with rags and sandbags in uncanny horror.
 British soldiers were gathering the German dead and burying them in their own communication trenches. At one spot where the British suffer- ed in charging a machine gun posi- tion, the battalion mascot. black and tan mongrel dog, lay dead beside his human companions, all of whom were excited over one of those scenes which this rolling country affords in this close-in fighting. When the Brit ish closed in upon the trenches at had fallen with their faces toward the German trenches.
 Germans later, when interviewed, said battalions were rushed from as far as Rheims and Lille to meet the AnglO-French attack.

WEEGHMAN TO LET
 FIVE PLAYERS GO
Expects to Tell Them Next Week. Archer Will Not Be Sold Dis
 appointing to Barney.

Chicago, Feb. 5-President Charles Weeghman of the local National league team announced yesterday that the Cubs catching staff for next sea- son will be composed of Jimmy Arch CT, Bill Fischer and Arthur Wilson. This announcement will be d1sap- pointing to Barney Dreyfus, inasmuch as the president of the Pittsburgh club sought to purchase Archer.
 Pittsburgh, as well as Boston, has been angling for the services of the former Detroit backstop, and George Stallings, who now is in this city, has failed to wean Archer away from Tinker Nothing definite has been decided on as to what disposition will be made of Clemons, another Cub catcher.
 .If Pittsburgh, Boston and other c1,he are hoping to get Archer, I can only say they are on the wrong track" Weeghman asserted. Several c1ubs have tried to take this catcher off my hands, but I do not propose to weaken the Cubs in any department. President Hampstead of the Giants told me that McGraw had assembled the strongest New York team ln wears. and was banking on copp1ng the pennant All the other clubs in the National league have been rein forced, and it is up to the Cubs to watch their step.
 Archer, Wilson and Fischer will constitute our catching staff, and I don't. think another club in either major league can boast of more evenly balanced set of star backstops. I am looking forward to the National league meeting in New York next week and hope to dispose Of i've play CTS at that time, but at present can- not dwell on any deals.

OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY.
Toronto Likely to Have Poor Season.
 Manager. Not Yet Chosen.

Toronto, Feb. 5.-The Toronto h. ternational league baseball club IS still without a manager. A meeting of the board of directors of the team was held here recently for the pur- pose of naming a leader, but no ac- tion was taken in the matter.
 Tommy Leach, who was recently given his unconditional release by the Cincinnati Reds, rules favorite for the position, althought others are in view. Leach, with his wide experi- ence, should make a valuable leader for the Leafs, and it is expected that his appointment will shortly be an nounced. Although the locals lost more than $30,0OO last year, there is no danger that the franchise will be given up. The prospects for baseball in this city, however, on account of the war, do not look any too bright.
