enemy back after series OF heroic
charges.
Suffer Extreme Cold.
The general summed up the ply
steal conditions Of the battle-ground
which made the struggle particular
y trying on the troops. First, he
said. there was that terrible strain
Of endurance and natural fatigue
accompanying nights and days Of
ceaseless fighting with the relent-
less foe Then there was the ex-
IRENE cold, with the temperature
at nights at about Il degrees above
zero, fahrenheit. This extreme cold
was made worse, he said, because
the men were without any kind OF
shelter. everything having been
swept away in the terrific artillery
action and the constant shifting Of
position.
There were no trenches, or dug
out which ordinarily give some
shelter and there was no water from
unfailing sources, such as the SOL
diers should have when going
through such an ordeal. They were
on the barren ground of foothills
covered with rocks and stones. The
ground was without habitation OF
the slightest natural facilities usual
~ required by fighting troops.
Toll Army Officers Heavy.
After summing up the physical
hardships the general added that
there was the still more serious
condition of many commands being
with very few officers as the con-
tinuOus lighting had told terribly on
officers. AS a result new men were
suddenly called upon 10 lead large
forces far beyond their experience
and sub-officers as we'll as junior
officers were directing superior
commands in many instances.
The general said there have been
fearful losses among the troops
which required a constant reform
ing of companies, regiments. bril-
, gades and divisions. But with all
these terrible conditions, the gen
eral said the spirit of the men was
undated in the determination 10
hold at any cost.
The rumble of heavy artillery fire
continued throughout the generals
| talk, while a dense mist overhead
gave a faint outline Of the rising
hills, where one attack was follow
ing another in this fateful battle.

WILL PLAY 80
PER CENT. OF
GAMES IN EAST
Clouds OF Uncertainty In
Football Situation Have
Passed Away
CRy Asaoeiated PROSE

New York, Sept. 1.-THE gray
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 80 per cent
of the usual number of gridiron con-
tests during the coming season. while
the scheduling of games Is still under
way, in many cases the autumn card
already presents several specially IN
sresting matches, with the likelihood
others will be added
with Cornell. Pennsylvania, Dart
mouth. Navy. Army. CoigaIe' S Ssn1
State, Brown. Washington and Jefer-
Son, Carlisle, Springfield and Colunl-
bia gathering about the football
standards, there is every reason Tor
predicting a continuance OF the game
as would not have been dreamed of
early in the spring. There Will De
lacking, of course. the usual climax
to the eastern play, owing to the ap-
sence of the annual Yale-HarVard,
Princeton-Yale and Army-Navy con-
tests. AS wartime substitutes, how
ever, the Pennsylvania-Dartm
CornelI-Pennsyivani Syracuse-Col-
gate. Pennsylvania-Michig syria
tuse Brown, Pittsburgh-Pennsylya-
mia, Cornel1-Colgate, Rutgers-Syra-
cuse 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
seasons schedule q few fixtures will
prevail Both Pennsylvania and Cor
nell will line up against Michigan,
and it is barely possible that the
Army may be seen in It's annual
match with Notre Dame. This contest
was arranged last winter, but when
the Army announced that all the
Cadet football games were OF, its OPP
oonents began to arrange for other
Contests to fill their open dates. The
eleventh-hour decision of the Army 20
continue football will make IT difncuit
for the soldiers to restore their
schedule to its original form. Wheth-
er Notre Dame can give the Cadets
the date formerly set for this game
at West Point remains TO be seen
This contest is always one Of the
Features of the season and its contin-
uation, If possible, is earnestly to be
desired.

He said he will stay in the game.

Manager Stalilngs of the Braves
strengthened his outfield consid-
erably by securing Powell and
Rehg, who are at present cover
ing center and right fields re-
spectively for the Boston crew.
Powell is hitting at and is fast
man and dependable fielder,
while Rehg, formerly with the
Red. Sox. is hitting only 247, but
is playing his position better than
any right fielder the Braves have
had in a long while. He went a
long way for several catches in a
game recently and robbed the
Giant batters of more than one
hit by his fine fielding.
The Braves have long been not,
ed for the weakness of the OUT
field, but they look immeasurably
better in the outer gardens with
the new men on the job, while
Kelly is furnishing a good brand
OF ball in left field.

Brains are the chief asset in any
game, or, for that matter, in all of
LIES activities. Golf links, clubs.
balls, are things. Arms. wrists, eyes,
body, strength, contain no ideas. They
are accessories, which one can depend
on to help toward successful per-
formance, only. however, by using
just one absolute observation-disclosures.

therefore, is brains.
Several new turfmen have scored
noteworthy successes on the Jockey
clubs race courses this year. Among
them are Cong. George W Loft and
Willis Sharpe kilmer. These sports
men went into racing for personal
amusement. They do not bet and are
strictly amateurs. Yet they have seen
their colors carried to victory by blue
blood thorOughbreds which have be-
come immensely popular with patrons
Of the game. The Jockey club believes
In the announcement Of turfmen who
race horses for pure sport The fact
that the professional element seeme
TO be fading away is one OF the i'm
portant reasons why racing in New
York state has come back in all It's
glory. The success OF the newcomers
probably will induce others to try
their fortune next year. III which
event the turf will reap further bene-
its.
Johnny Tobin, OF salt Lake. who
leads the Pacific coast III run getting

OF the game because Of a torn iga-
ment In leg. He has been recalled
and his work on the coast this season
indicates he should make good for
