ball teams Of the A. and 1. State Nor
NAL won a double victory last Friday
on Normal campus over the Attacks
High School quintet OF H0pkinsville,
Ky. The games were attended by a
largfe an denthusiastic crowd Of
rooters from the schools and city.
The first game was PLAYED between the
teams representing the girls and was
an easy victory for Normal by the
score Of 22-G. At no time during
the contes was the result I'm doubt. for
at The first few minutes of playing the
speed and accurate Shooting OF the
Tennessee girls completely bafIlel
their opponents The features of the
game weer the playing Of Misses Cakes
Phelps and Smith of Normal, the
former especially displaying great
skill in Shooting baskets For Ken
lucky Miss foster was easily the star.
The score at the end of the first half
was Tennessee 16, eKntucky 3. The
second half was more closely con-
tested, the Kentucky girls playing a
better defensive game but were weak
in offensive The final score was
Tennessee %, Kentucky 6.

The second game was one Of the best
games of basket ball ever witnessed
in this city. The Normal boys were
the first to score and their lead was
never overcome. The team display
ed excellent team work. No one mar
seeming to excel individually. The
guarding of Robinson and Cabel. the
basket Shooting and passing of Haw
kins, Cater and Worthington all de
serve special mention. Boyd and Irv
ing, of Attacks High, each played al
excellent game and but for the worl
of the Tennessee guards the score
would have been different The result
was never in doubt after the first few
minutes. The score of the first hal
was Tennessee IA, eKntucky g. Tit

courage trie din vain to overcome thu

for a time it looked as though the

PARK EXTENSION
PLANS ARE READY
FOR STATE BOARD
Conference Held Late Yester-
day Settles Details Regard
ing Great Scheme

1t is expected as a result of a con-
ference yesterday afternoon with Ar
mold w. Drummer and Warren H.
Manning, the distinguished landscape
designers. that Superintendent
George A. Shreiner will be able TO
submit to the Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings next Tuesday
the final recommendations regarding
the permanent treatment of the
Capitol Park zone.
Governor Brumbaugh. State Treas
urer Kephart and Auditor General
Snyder, the state officials comprising
the board, have already approved
the general scheme of treatment and
it is understood the recommenda-
tions of the designers will be in line
with the general plan.
During the discussion Mr. Brun-
ner suggested that a model of the
whole park area, including the Capt.
tol and proposed streets, with the
State street viaduct and the abutting
property lines might serve a useful
purpose in acquainting the state au-
thorities, as we'll as the municipal
officials, with the exact details, such
models, he explained, being used in
all cases where civic centers are
created or great boulevards con-
structed in developed sections.
Viaduct Needed
IT is now definitely determined in
the thought of the designers of the
comprehensive state plan that a
great viaduct over the pennsylvania
railroad right of way at State street
is also entirely necessary unless the
treatment proposed is abandoned en-
tirely. This viaduct would have ap-
proaches from North and Walnut
streets on the west and also from
Cameron and Walnut streets on the
east. It's width would give a needed
perspective to the park eastward.
Drawings and details for the wild
ening of Walnut, Third and North
streets by the inclusion of the pres
ent sidewalks, and the placing of a
new granite curbing at the foot of the
terraces will be. ready for the Board
of Public Grounds and Buildings at
the meeting next week. Approaches
to the park will be located at all
streets leading westward and the
State street entrance at Third will
be dignified in its treatment and in
harmony with the whole plan.
Fourth street will be abandoned as
n traffic street and two new streets
further eastward will be located for
public use.
1t is difficult for the average lay
mind to grasp the comprehensive
plans which are being worked out
and n model showing buildings and
grounds, as they will appear. will
probably appeal to all interested in
this great work.

ANOTHER RAISE
IN BREAD PRICES
FOR HARRISBURG
West Shore and Schmidt Bak-
cries Say They Are Losing \
Money; Loaf to Be Larger

The Schmidt and West Shore bak-
cries to-day made known a new
schedule of bread prices to go into
effect next Monday to both whole
sale and retail trade. The revision is
upward and is made because the
bakers assert they are losing money.
The bakers have had their books
audited by outside experts and claim
that since July they have lost hun
dreds of dollars and that they must
either make another advance or go
out of business.
They also say, in their letters to
the trade. that Reading and Balti-
more have been paying Is cents for
the same size loaf which sells here
for ten and that elsewhere, in
Wilkes Barre and Scranton, for ex-
ample, prices have been higher than
here.
The present six-cent loaf is to be
advanced to seven cents, a medium
sized loaf is to be made to retail for
ten cents and a large loaf will bring
15 cents.
The bakers say they will reduce
prices as soon as conditions permit.
They are preparing statements for
the public which will be given out
tomorrow, representatives of the
bakeries said to-day

Resistance Weak
Taking the battle as a whole. the
Germans offered weak resistance to
the British advance this morning.
BUT despite the heavy blow dealt to
the enemy it was not considered i'm
probable that they would make stren-
uous counterattacks as soon as they
could reform their shattered forces.
The story of the days fighting is
that of perfect organization which
worked with clock-like precision. It

Washington, Oct. 5.-With definite

from Samoa to the Navy Department,
hunt for the commerce destroyers
has been set in motion.
The two raiders are manned by
the famous Secadler, which made her

Atlantic. southward around South
America, preying on shipping, and
thence to the South Pacific. where
she stranded on Mopeha Island and

British Front in France and Bel
gium, Oct 5.-British arms yester-
day achieved one of the greatest VIC
tories of the war in a tremendous as
sault begun at dawn against the Ger
man positions east and northeast of
Ypres. Indeed when the whole story
of this battle has been told 1T may
take it's place as an unequalled tri-
umph of three years of conflict, for
each successive report from the
seething caldron along this front
adds to the importance of the sue
cess recorded.
From Il point near the Ypres-
Staden railway on the north to the
Ypres- Menin highway on the south,
the men of the British empire have
surged forward with an irresistible
force which at some places carried
. them to a depth of $500 yards over
still more of the German keystone
positions in the Passchendaele- -Ghelu-
Welt ridge system of defenses. On
the northern wing of the advance
the British have reached Poelcapelle
and Gravenstafel and have overrun
most of the Gravenstafel ridge which
juts out to the west from the Pass
chendaele- -Gheluvelt. South of the
Ypres- Roulers railway the troops are
reported to be overlooking the east
ern slopes of the main ridge and in
some places to have pushed on into
the valley below.
Losses Are Heavy
Not only have the British wrench
ed away many vital strongholds, but
they have inflicted almost unprece-
dented casualties on the enemy.
AS the attacking troops went out
in quest of a great adventure over
the mist-shrouded slopes their vast
protective artillery barrage caught in
its merciless swirl large numbers of
the enemy who by coincidence also
had been massing for an early morn
ing attack along a wide front eX-
tending from the neighborhood of
Zonnebeke to the Polygon wood.
Some five divisions OF German troops
were involved. three of these hav-
ing been rushed up in reserve to sup
port their comrades in the front lines
when the German attack should be-
gin.
Teutons Slaughtered
A solid wall of bursting shells
plowed through them in hurri-
cane of death, and they lie in count
less thousands amidst the devasta-

wake. Part of these ill-fated troops
were the famous guardSmen in
whom the German emperor had
taken such pride in the days gone
by. But these massed troops were
not the only ones to suffer, for re-
ports from prisoners all along the
line indicate that the Germans lost
heavily throughout the territory in
volved.
At many places Germans ran in
terror or were captured in large
mum bers as the British attack began.

have been pouring into Ie British
cages in the rear. Perhaps half of
