RIDDLE IS HURT

Utuundkeeper Jim Riddle, one of the oldest employees in the service of the To- cal association, was seriously injured be- fore the game when a ball thrown by Ham Hyatt, the Lookouts' first sacker, struck him slightly above the mouth. Riddle had placed the covering over the pitchers box, and was returning to the coacher's box to get another covering when he lodged into Hyatt's throw from first to the home plate. Riddle is not seriously injured, however, and following medical attention was taken to his home.
 The accident was purely unavoidable, and Hyatt was in no way responsible. A doctor was summoned from the stands, and Jim was given immediate treatment. He was later brought to town, and four stitches taken in the wound.

Same old story, mates. .-
 Rain is about the most abundant thing in captivity these days. In fact that's all we can get.
 Old Jupiter Pluvius is certainly putting the national pastime on the bum in Birmingham. The teams not going any too good and with a few clouds above the fans just naturally won't get up courage enough to journey to Rickwood s
 About 500 or possibly 1000 fans were on hand yesterday waiting for the game to start. The rain, however, kept in sight and the play was never started. Joy was caused in the ranks of the Lookouts when Umpire Bill Hart strolled out in front of the grandstand, doffed his lid and announced the game post - poned.' s4s +sT'-
 The double bill today should pull the fans out of their favorite hole in time to witness the Bar ons cop both affairs The Look outs are not going any too good with Kid Elberfeld out of the game and it wouldn't be surprising to see the Moleys walk off with the first honors in both contests
 The Kid is out of the game with a bad leg. He was figuring on playing in the game scheduled for yesterday, but slight fall in bat ting practice put the lame leg back oh the bum list. The Kid will not be able to get in any of the games with the Barons. The Lookouts are weakened fully 50 per cent With Elberfeld out of the game and the sooner he gets back in the lineup the better the clan will get along.
 The Kids about, seen his best days, however, and if this is not his last active season on the dia- mond we'll miss our guess.

 Offers from the Yankees and Reds for Rogers release have been de- clined by Nashville officials. Both bids reached Shropshire & Co. too late, as they have already transferred Toms contract over to the St. Louis American league club, of which he will become member at the close of the Southern season on Septem- Der 9.
 Rogers record for July outshines that of any other pitcher in the league.

Gar PaUeS Way For
Swarm Into Hungary
by Taking JabIonitzo

London, Aug. 15.-The Russian ad-
vance in Galicia is continuing at the
average rate of two or three miles a
day along the whole 1oo-mile front
In the Sereth region and west of the
Upper Stripa Sakharoff is pressing
forward with greater rapidity than
before the Stripa line fell to the
Russians.
The offensive of Letchitsky, on both
sides of the Dniester. is developing
swiftly. 1t has extended now both to
the north and south. Mile by mile the
Zlota Lipa line is falling into Russian
hands and Won Bothmer's weakened
army, not yet free from the peril to
which 1t was exposed by it's long de-
layed retirement from the Stripa, is
fighting desperately to stave off flank
and rear assaults and prevent the cap
ture of masses of troops.
Letchitsky's extreme left wing has
swung southwark and struck a terrific
blow at the smaller part of Planners s
army, cut off from the main group
by the Russian thrust at Stanislau and
Nadvorna. This swift movement swept
the Austrians out of the Jablonitza
Pass. for weeks the scene of desperate
fighting.
Jablonitza. the most important of
the southeast gateways to the Hun
garian plains, had never before fell
entirely into the hands of the Gar S
troops Several times cavalry detach-
ments have penetrated into the noun
tains and cleared out the enemy's po-
sitions, but counter attacks were in
evitably successful in driving them
out. The Russians are now in suffi-
cient force in this region, it is be-
lieved, to hold the pass and begin a
drive in Maramarossziget, the first po-
sition of importance on the railways
that pierceS the mountain wall at
Jahlonitza on its way from Kolomea
to the heart of Hungary. ss. F.
Two other towns fell to the Rus
slams in this section, and Planners S
army was further weakened by the
capture of about 1900 men.

to his wife that she take a motor trip
with Mrs. Burns to see the latters
niece in the Carlisle Hospital. She
left in an automobile, with a chauffeur

Instead of going to the Carlisle Hos

hospital for the insane, outside of
Carlisle. Mrs. Burns left the car and
went into the hospital.
Il have the woman out here in the

The chauffeur will bring ner in"
Mrs. Keiner and the chauffeur fol-
lowed her into the hospital. Then the
door slammed. Mrs. Burns and the
chauffeur left the building by another
way and drove away.
Says Woman Is Sane
Immediately Mrs. Keiner wrote a
note to her husband, asking for an
explanation. Doctor Ruch, the nurse
at the hospital, Steward Frehn, the
entire board of poor directors and all
the attendants have had her under
careful observation ever since.

has been convinced, he says, that the
woman is entirely sane, and he has

This Is the Situation
All parties to the discussions
were reticent, but 1t was believed
the situation to-day was this:
The managers suggest that they
establish the eight-hour basis
providing the railroad brother
moods demand for time and half
pay for over time work and other
collateral issues be investigated
thoroughly by the Interstate Com
mefcc Commission or some other
body.
Employees indicate they have
heard this proposal before and
decline to commit themselves un-
til 1t is put in definite form by the
railroads.
Arbitration of all issues had
been rejected fatty.
Special efforts are being made
to ascertain the opinion of both
sides ON the kind of a commission
which would inquire intothc col
lateral questions should the eight
hour DAY be conceded and this
pan accepted by the brother
hoods.
The arrangements refuse flatIv
to agree to the eight-hour princi-
pal without qualification.
