GAINS ARE IMPORTANT
By William Philip Simms

i (Unlted Press staff correspondent
With the British Armies in France
Oct. 23.-The British retirement south
of Houthulst forest at o'cloek last
night before German counter attack
in nowise lessened the value of yester-
days advance.
Examination of prisoners today re-
vealed the fact that Crown Prince Rup
precht had ordered his picked men to
hold the blockhouses, redoubts, forti-
fled nosts and pill boxes throughout
this territory cat any cost.'' Further
more, the orders had gone out that if
positions were lost specially trained
units should retake them Immediately
regardless of sacrifice of men.
The British and French fought for
ward stubbornly and held all their
gains save in the one instance.
An unusually large number of Ger
man dead Uttered the muddy battle
field today or formed grim and CHASTITY
mounds in the interior of the pill box
es.
Considering the limited size Of the
operations, the number of prisoners tax
en- is considered most important.

Germans Pay Heavy Toll

Petrograd, Oct. 23 - Two dread
naughts, one cruiser, twelve torpedo
boats, transport and numerous mine
sweeners put out of action or lost, is
the toll which Germany has been fore
ed to pay for her occupation of Oesel,
Moon and Dago islands, with the ada
reent bit of coast at Werder, according
to review of Russian naval opera
tions made public today. The ultimate
fate of this big number of ships is un-
known, according to the statement, but
the loss of six torpedo boats was defi-
nitely established The German naval
squadron suffered from mines, torpe-
does and the fire of Russian naval
guns and shore batteries.
The marine department warmly prais
ed the Russian fleet for its successful
operations and the bravery of its crews
against German fleet which outnum-
Dered it and outranged it heavily.
The statement covered the entire ac-
tivity of the Russian fleet from the
time of the start of the German cam
paign in the Gulf of Riga, to the es-
cape, through Moon island sound, of
the Russian fleet.

British Give Russia Aid

London, Oct. 23.-British naval aid
being lent the sorely pressed Russian
sea forces, perhaps aided in the re-
markable escape of the Russian Riga
bay fleet from under the very guns of
the great German fleet in Moon sound.
First intimation of British vessels in
action with Russian ships was contain
ed in the official announcement from
Petrograd that British submarine
had fired two torpedoes at two Ger
man dreadnaughts in the gulf of Riga,
presumably injuripg or destroying one
and had sunk a transport which at
tackled it.
The German fleet, composing ten.
dreadnaughts, ten cruisers, several
score of torpedo boats, submarines,
trawlers and transports, paid a high
price for occupation of Moon, Dago
and Oesel islands, and seizure of main
land ground at Werder, east of Moon
island. 1t lost an unusual number of
ships and failed, despite its preponder-
ance in guns and number of vessels to
inflict anywhere near proportionate
losses on the small Russian squadron.
London expects the Germans imme-
diately to start their troops landed at
Werder for a drive against Hapsal,
twenty miles north, the first stage of
a movement for the capture of Reval,
on the Gulf of Finland. That city, a
naval base, is now being evacuated and
stripped of everything of military
value bv the Russians.

TOM SAVERS, THOUGH
SMALL WAS EFFECTIVE +,
FIGHTER IN HIS TIME

With the exception of Tommy
man who ever held the worlds heavy
weight championship title. Sayers was
born in England eight-seven years ago
today, and won his spurs by beating a
number of god men before he challen-
ged Bill Perry, the Upton Slasher,
who was then champion, in 1857. Say
ers was five feet eight inches in
height, but weighed only a little over
$50 pounds when he tackled the big
six-foot Perry. who tipped the beam
at over 200 pounds. The SlasherS had
a punch like the kick of mule and
when Sayers stood opposite him he
cut a very funny and insignificant
figure. ~
Savers insolent smile annoyed the
big fellow and he tried to wipe it off
the little, ones face. He rushed at
him any number of times while his
arms worked like fails but somehow
or other Sayers never was in the place
that Perry hit at. The Slasher was
the most surprised man in the world
when he suddenly felt q singing blow
on his nose, which drew first blood.
The big one became enraged and
rushed about the ring like an angry
bull. forgetting what little ring wis
dom he ever knew, but Savers was
too quick for him and avoided his
blind s1ashes into the air, and even
managed to get, in a good one to the
face every once in while.
Round after round Savers danced
about. One of them lasted thirty min
utes before the Slasher got to Sayers
and knocked him down. Three times
this happened during the bout, but
Sayers escaped the full force of the
devastating blows, and when. the
Slasher, exhausted after the long
chase after the human flea" went
down before the many blows planted
on his face, the spectators were in
an uproar. In those days a round
lasted until one or the other went
,, down, and IL he did not get up in half
a minute. the bout was over. Perry
was unable TO arise while the clock
licked off the half minute, and Sayers
became the worlds champion.

JUL IALEON WINNER
in SIX FURLONG AT
SARATOGA TRACK

Saratoga Springs, Aug. 24-With
the feature of the card Of the Sara
toga Association framed for selling
platers, the real racing interest OF
the day came in the running of a
six-furlong conditions affair for three
year-old FLIES. This went to George
w. Lofts Julialeon, which carrying
scale weight of III pounds stepped
the distance in 1:12 rs, the best time
that has been hung out for that dis
lance since the meeting opened.
Buxton had the mount on Julia
leon and he rushed her away from
the others with such success that they
were all dizzy in the first quarter.
When she reached that pole in .22 as
seconds and was still going away,
there was nothing for the others to
do but chase her ali the way home.
The daughter of Helmet won well in
hand by four lengths from Clifford
A. Cochran's Queen of the Water,
with Major T. C. McDowdlPs good
FLY Queen Errant two lengths
further away.
The Mohawk, mile for selling
platers, under: selling conditions, went
to Richard T. Wilson's Straight For
ward, and he was only, winner after
he had been lpockeeed and buffeted
about to the last furlong pole,
though there were only four starters.
Reveler, the imported two-sbear-
old that races for Samuel D. Riddles
Glen Riddle Farms Stable, captured
the opening race from a smart lot of
two-year-oldS.
Dorcas from the Cleveland Stable
was a handy winner of the Burnt
Hills, selling handicap at one mile
and it was one of the good races OF
the afternoon.
At the end of the program there
was a pronounced reversal of form
when Queen of the Sea won at a mile
and a furlong, although on last Fri
day, under lighter weight and meet
ing just about the same field she was
| disgracefully beaten. Dan, the one
that beat her on Friday, was a bad

WILLIAMS LOSES
TO NILES AFTER
SOME FINE TENNIS

New York, Aug. ar. Norris WILL
liams, I'd, Of Boston, the national
champion last year, was deposed yes
terday at Forest Hills from his pre-
mier position in the tennis world in
a SEMI final round of the national pa
triotic tennis singles tournament when
Nathaniel W. Niles, OF Boston, de-
feated him three sets to one by
score of g., As, So, 6-3.
The contest was staged under mis-
cradle weather conditions and many
thought that it should have been post
poned until today, which was to have
been an off day in the competition in
order to give the finahsts a chance to
rest for the climax. The match was
started in a thick drtzzle, with the re-
suit that the balls were rather heavy.
As play wore on the rain came down
faster and in the fourth set, when the
score stood 81 in games against Will
hanns, Eddie Conlon, the referee, de-
cided to call the contest off, y Will
liams, however, insisted on playing.
He had only made a couple of strokes,
though, when there was a veritable
cloudburst. Williams was leading in
the fifth game, at 3O-15, when the
pair had to foresake the court. A tar
paulin was stretched over the turf
| while the players retired to the club
house. There was nothing to stretch
over the spectators and they received
a drenching.
1t will always be question in the
minds of many whether Niles would
have been able to defeat Williams If
the conditions had been suitable for
real tennis. Williams needs a ball
