The Russians and Germans have con-

admit the penetration of their
trenches by the Germans along the

say they were driven back later in a
counter attack. Berlin records the
repulse of Russian attacks along tho

Small attacks, mostly by raiding

BROOKLYN BOSS rs
OPTIMISTIC OVER

NEW YORK, March 24.-Wil

pions, is going to start the race
this spring with a lineup greatly
changed and he's more confident
than ever, if reports are true, in
the strength of his men.
Robinson, with a mediocre
baseball club, won the National
league championship last year.
So, If he believes his ball club Is
as good or a trifle better this year,
then someone, including John ].
McGraw, is due to stage some tall
speed.
There is just one point worry
ing Robinson. Third base isn't
sewed up as tight as it might be.
Mike Mowery received a contract
this spring calling for a cut in sal
airy and the veteran sorrel-top de-
clined with dignity and firmness
to have anything to do with it.
Then the Brooklyn club asked
waivers on Mike, with the inten-
tion of sending him to the Pacific
Coast league and the waivers roll
ed in.
Robinson will have to plant Ivan
Olson at third unless something
happens and appoint Eabrique, a
recruit, at shortstop.
