first line system was carried on the
whole front attacked. our troops
then passed on, with scarcely pause
up the western slopes of the Messines-
Wytschaete ridge. and three hours
after the commencement of the attack
had stormed the entire crest line from
the south to the north.
Shortly afterward, the whole of
Messines was captured and before
mid day the capture of Wytschaetc
village also had been completed after
hard fighting.
In the second stage of the attacks
our troops pushed down the eastern
slopes of the ridge and advanced
against a powerful line of German
rear detenscs which lay across the
base of the salient formed by the
ridge itself.
Heavy fighting took place in a fur
ther series of woods and strong points
but at 3:45 j. m, the village Of COST
taVerne, lying just west of the center
of the line, was captured.
BY nghtfall practically the whole of
hands and we had gained the whole
days detectives.
German Losses Heavy.
Great numbers of German dead ly-
ing in the captured positions proved
the severity Of the enemys losses, a
large proportion of which was again
borne by Bavarian troops. Our own
losses We're light.
The enemy made no attempt during
the night to recover his lost positions.
Following on the great care and
thoroughness in preparations the COM
plete success gained may be ascribed
chiefly to the destruction caused by
our mines, to the violence and accur-
acy of our bombardment, to the very
fine work of the royal flying corps and
to the incompatible dash and courage
of the infantry. The whole force act
ed IN perfect combination. Excellent
work was done by the tanks" and
every means of offense at our disposal
was made use of so that every arm of
the service had a share in the victory
Aircraft Valuable Aids.
During the battle our aircraft CO.
operated very successfully. performing
valuable services. In addition to a
large number of successful air raids
which were carried out, during which
the enemy's airdromes, balloons, trains
bllletS. depots and troops were at :
tackled with bombs and machine guns
enemy aircraft were prevented from
participating in the battle.
We accounted for II German ma

driven down out Of control. Fourteen
Of our machines are missing.

his work made a hit with Manager Mathewson. It also impressed Heine Groh the second baseman of the Reds, who says of Kopf:
 Billy Kopf is destined to fill that shortstop place so beautifully that the Cincinnati fans will not miss Herzog. During the 12 games that Kopf played for us last fall I was on second and working with him. That little set of games was all I needed to convince me that we had at last found Herzog's successor. Kopf was digging them up to the right and left. and he was com ing over to the base to do team plays with me just as though he had been there for seasons. He never hesitated or stood with the ball in his hand, as too many youngsters do for a second or so while making up their minds what they ought to start or which base needs the ball the most. Neither did he commit the opposite mistake: make Hurried plays or rush in the wrong direction. He can hit and isn't snail on bases, and, as I have re- marked. he is a thinking infielder."

MORAN MUST FIND HEAVY SLUGGER ID

Phillies Do Not Rely on Star Batsman This Season. Hole Will Be Difficult
 One to Fill

The Phillies must find right fielder to fill the shoes of Gavvy Cravath, the home run hitter extraordinary. Pat Mo- ran is not counting upon his fence bus ter for next season, He has reasons to believe Cravath will stay in sunny Cali fornia. A big cut in Gavvy's salary had been contemplated, but the Californian. chances are, will not stand for any such reduction. Last summer Cravath de- clared he preferred playing in the Pacific Coast league to manufacturing home runs for the Phils
 Filling Cravath's shoes will be no easy task for Moran. Defensively Gavvy will not be missed Either of Pats two young outfielders, Claude Cooper or Bud Weiser, can cover more territory than the heavy hitter but Phil partisans as well as op- posing pitchers will miss the personally conducted tours Gavvy has made each season as a member of the Phils since 1912
 Next March Cravath will have reached his thirty-ffth milestone. The Phils have no age limit rule. If they had Moran would not be giving so much of his time to arranging trade for Frank Schulte to replace Gavvy. Schulte was 35 last September.
 In his five seasons as a member of the Phils, Cravath has made S4 circuit clouts.
 His biggest harvest was reaped in 1915. when his "A circuit clouts played a prorni- nent part in bringing the first and only National league pennant to Phildelphia Twenty -four that season came within one l of tieing the major league record held by Buck Freeman. who cracked out 25 home runs m 1899 while member of the Wash | ington team

Former Federal League Magnate Is a Popular Owner-Incident
 Cited

Harry Sinclair. former Federal league magnate, does things on big scale. He had the makings of being one of the most popular men ever in the national game. Only the fact that he retired from baseball kept him from taking the same pinnacle that Com iskey and Weeghman, among others, occupy
 They tell a little story about Sim clair that gives an. insight into his character. It was when he owned the Newark club of the Federal league. Pat Powers had charge of his affairs in the New Jersey city
 One day. when they were in con- ference Sinclair pulled out manu- script and opened it on the desk be- fore him.
 Here's our Newark pay roll" he said, giving it a slap. "It's too large, I believe. Can't we Top it off some%'
 He cast his eyes down the names. Then "This fellow Smith (we use a fictitious name for obvious reasons), how about him? He hasn't played an inning for us, and just sits on the bench and drags down several thou sand per year Can't we chop him off?''
 Powers hemmed and hawed. He hated to see the veteran go. Well, I suppose we could do without him. he said finally. 'I'll speak to him aft CT the game today"
 The next day Powers rushed into Sinclair's office again. T fired smith, he said.

Big CrolUd Of Barons Hard at Work at Rickwood

Will Jack Barry make good IS a man. ager? We'll we have only history to base opinions on, says an eastern writer. Seventeen former members of the Phila- delphia Athletics have had chances in the managerial line, but none has been a great success. There has been a whole lot of pro and con talk about the signing up of Jack Barry by the Red Sox, but it is well to remember that if Harry Fra zee had not hooked Barry for the man. ager job he would be banned very se- verely by some of the fellows who are now questioning Barry's managerial ca pacity The whole discussion is interest," ing, though.
 Some one suggests that Connie Mack is not much of man for making managers because only one graduate of his team in r has made good. The same critic could say that mighty few of Connie Mack's graduates show star work on other teams. Only Eddie Collins, Jack Barry and Eddie Plank have continued to show sterling baseball after leaving Mack's school as stars. Of course, there have been other fellows-not graduates-who have shone after leaving the Athletics, but we are talking of fellows who were accepted as stars with the Philadelphia team. Connie has overlooked a few of the comers but only few. The vast ma-. jority of the fellows who came to him and became stars did their fanciest work under him. He developed them. He did a large fraction of their thinking. Most of them needed Cornelius.

POP ANS0N WAS PUT OUT OF GAME TWICE IN ENTIRE CAREER
Hank O'Day Ordered Star to Leave Game Where Most Runs Were
 Ever Scored

A dive into the musty old records shows many interesting events of the days gone by and the baseball fan who lamps some of the things that happened when he was knee-high to a grasshopper can well marvel at them.
 Perhaps one of the most interesting games of ball, from the point of a large score, dates back to the game between the Chicago and Louisville teams on June 29, 1897. The score of that game was 36 to z, total of 43 runs in all. and the Chicagos won it..
 Old Pop Anson was the head of the Cubs and Fred Clarke was pilot of the Colonels, having succeeded Jim Rodg- CTS. It was Louisville's first visit of the season to Chicago, and her second game. there, and before the game end- ed Old Pop had the tin tied to him by Jack Sheridan.
 In the first inning of the game An hit with two men on, but Sheridan caEed it a foul and Pop exploded as only Pop could explode. An argument followed and Sheridan put Anson out of the pastime. Then the Cubs got their backs up and smothered Louis vile under the avalanche of runs.
 It was some three months later that Anson was put out of the game for the last time in his life. This was done by Hank O'Day, who was serv- ing his third year as an umpire. There was provocation for Anson's outburst, as his team fell away behind In the first inning and was finally whipped, IS to ', by Cleveland, but Pops wrath got him nothing but the can, and it remains for ODay to claim the doubt full distinction of being the last um- pire to chase Anson from a ball game.
