MAJORS STATURE
TO BUY PLAYERS
HURTS Central
Money Lost BY All But
Peoria-League May Nor
Reopen.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. Sept. 10
While there is plenty of talk of a re-
vival of the Central league circuit in
1918 with a rearranged circuit. the fact
that onlr one club in the circuit for the
season Just closed made money, and
that club, which was Peoria was only
in the league for part of the season,
will have lot to do with the starting
Of the circuit next year, and the
chances are that no league will be or
enized until the great war Is over
Many of the clubs In the circuit were
heavy losers during the 1917 season,
including South Bend, who gave up the
ghost fer Peoria, and the club owners
are not going to forget the lesson
learned this season.
Possible drafts by major league
teams may enable some of the teams
to come close to breaking even on the
season, but so far, not single player
has been bought outright by major
league club.

WITH FOOTBALL
Famous Contests Will Not
Be Played on Account Of
War, However.

NEW YORK, Sept 10.--The grey
clouds of uncertainty which have
overhung the Eastern college football
situation for some months are gradu-
ally being dispelled and present indi-
cations forecast close to eighty YeS-
cent of the usual number of gridiron
contests during the coming season.
While the scheduling of games is still
under way. in many cases the Autumn
card already presents several special
ly interesting matches, with the like
lihood others will be added.

standards there is every reason for
predicting a continuance of the game
as would not have been dreamed of
early in the Spring,
There will be lacking, of course, the
usual climax to the Eastern play,
owing to the absence of the annual
Yale-Harvard, Princeton and Army
Navy contests. AS wartime substi-

racuse- Colgate, Pennsylvania-Michi

| Pennsylvania, Cornell-Colgate, Rut-
gers-Syracuse and similar contests
| will serve admirably.
There will not be as many inter
sectional games as in recent years but
even in this department of the sea-
sons schedule few fixtures will pre-
vail. Both Pennsylvania and Cornell
| will line up against Michigan and it
| is barely possible that the Army may
| be seen in its annual match with No
! ire Dame. This contest was arrang-
! ed last Winter but when the Army
! announced that all the Cadet foot
| ball games were off, its opponents
| began to arrange for other contests
! to ELL their open dates. The eleventh.
/ hour decision of the Army to con
! tinue football will make it difficult
! for the Soldiers to restore their
/ schedule to its original form. Wheth-
er Notre Dame can give the Cadets

contest is always one of the features

Thermodon, the modern Termeh in
Pontus, in Asia Minor, whose inhabi-
tants were said to consist entirely of
women renowned for their love of
manly sports and as warriors, and
how they cut of the right breast to
prevent its interfering with the use
of the bow or in other words with
their efficiency as soldiers.
So capable, it is reputed, were
these women of taking care of
themselves, that men were excluded
from their territory and commerce
was held only with strangers, while
all male children born among them
were killed.
Coming down to our own times and
land, it is a fact that a good many
American women are not only ready
and willing to take their part in the
actual fighting in the present con-
fiict, but there is even a possibility
that if the time should come when
their services are actually needed
they will be prepared to do their bit
in true military fashion.

Take Pride in Their Garden.
The garden of the German sailors
Is shining example of the German
method of doing things. 1t is over an
acre in size, and the beds are laid
out so carefully, SO regularly that
they look like SO many squares on
a checkerboard. The edge of each
bed is beveled like a mirrors edge.
Peas, beans, corn-all kinds of vege-
tables-were planted last summer.
The Germans by no means depend
on the garden for their food. This
is issued to them by the United
States government. Then, too. they
have their own ships fund. One of
the men declared that the ships pay
master has over 100000 on deposit
IN an Atlanta bank. Their officers
sometimes come to town under guard
and purchase for the men tobacco,
sweets and other trifles.
Fondness For Flowers.
Besides the vegetable garden the
sailors have laid out flower gardens
in front of the officers building. Of
ticers and men both delight in flow
ers. At the request of Capt. Thier-
fielder, commander of the Kron Prinz
Wilhelm, the men are allowed to take
daily walk, by squads and under
guard, for a mile from the fort.
One of the principal recreations of
the Germans is moving pictures, and
their ingenuity in inventing a moving
picture machine is another startling
example of German efficiency. Out
of a sewing machine, a clock and a
bicycle they constructed it, and three
times week they show moving
pictures in the barracks building.

AMERICANS FOUGHT
BRAVELY TO The LAST
LITTLE PARTY MADE DESPER-
ATE STAND AGAINT ODDS.
ATTACKED BY zoo HUNS.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE.-The German raid on
the American trench was carried out
against members of the second con-
tingent entering the trenches for
training. These men had only been
in few days. A heavy artillery fire
was directed so as to cover all the
adjacent territory, including the
passage leading up to the trenches,
thereby forming a most effective bar
rage in the rear as well as in the
front.
The young lieutenant in charge of
the detachment of Americans started
back to the communicating trenches
for orders. The barrage knocked him
down.
Soon after that Germans to the
number, according to the report, of
21O rushed through the breaches and
wire entanglements on each side of
the salient, their general objective
barrage in the forefeld being lifted
for a moment. The Germans went
in to the trenches at several points.
They met with stout resistance, pis-
tolls, grenades, knives and bayonets
were freely used.
Fought Two Germans.
In one section of the trench, an
American private engaged two Ger
mans with the bayonet. That was
the last seen of him until after the
raid when a dead American was
found on the spot. Another was kill
ed by blow on the head with a rifle
butt from above. Some of the Amer
leans apparently at the beginning of
the attack did not realize just what
was going on.
The raid was evidently carefully
planned and American officers admit
that it was we'll executed There is
reason for believing that the Ger
mans were greatly surprised when
they found Americans in the trench
es instead of the French.
Express Satisfaction.
The French general in command
of the division expressed extreme
satisfaction at the action of the
Americans for they fought bravely
against a numerically superior enc

The bodies of the American dead
were brought back to divisional
