New York.-Riga. Russia's big hands of the Germans, and it's garri- son and the civilian population are in retreat eastward
 Following up the advantage gain- ed in driving the Russians across the Divina river on both sides # Ukskull, the Germans threw bridges across this stream and soon were on the heels of the former defenders, who gave the invaders little trouble in their march up the eastern bank of the Dvina toward Riga, l5 miles distant.
 Seeing the dlsaffeetion and the in- ability to stem the tide of the ad- vance, the Russian commander order ed an evacuation.
 With the falling back of the Rus sians from the city proper and tho advance of the Germans northward along both sides of the stream. the Russians. still defending the western bank around Dahlen. seemingly arc in danger of being caught between the two fast moving bodies of tho enemy and made prisoner.
 Behind them the Russians in their retreat are laying the country in waste. burning villages and farms. Whether the city itself remains in- tact has not yet been made known. but doubtless the guns in the fortress and the ammunition stores either were moved or destroyed 10 prevent them falling into the hands of tho Germans

our alleged sluggers when the base
paths were clogged with listless and
leg-weary runners.
Or he might have pitched for Nick
Cullop, Urban Shocker or Slim Love
without endangering New Iorks
chances at all. About all that any OF
the three could do was to get the ball
UP to the plate for fungo hitting on
the part of the Jungaleers.
Poor Nick was terribly tired. II was
a shame to impose upon him the way
Donovan did. Wild Bill made Nick
pitch five innings and third in spite
of the humidity and everything. Cullop
felt himself so much abused that when
the Tigers got tired Of clouting his
head off he began to wildpitch runners
home. He resorted TO strategy 20 get
to the shower. He let Oscar Witt and
Ty Cobb. the first two batters OF the
seventh, nick him for triple and home
run, respectively. When Slim Love
came in it was question of "nutting
around" long enough to fill out box
score.
The Tigers combed Cullop for four
singles in the first inning. which with
a base on balls yielded three taliies.
They were lucky TO get the two IN the
third. Maisel dropped Cullop's throw
to force Veach when he had a possible
double play in prospect. The two run
ners scored on a double by Burns that
would have been an easy chance for
Pipp had the ball not struck an OBJ
stacle and bounded ten feet over the
first baseman's head.
Burns tripled in the sixth, and after
Young flied short to Miller scored on
wild pitch. Yelle then singled. Shocker
relieved Cullop and held Dauss and
Bush TO weak outfield flies.
Witt and Cobb, with triple and 9
home run, respectively, settled Urban's
hash in Jig time in the seventh. Slim
Love then staggered safely through to
the ninth. Peck's error, two succeed
ing singles and double steal took two
runs off him in the last round.
Willie Mitchell offered almost as
many openings as Cullop, but the Yam
KEGS were absolutely blind to Lame OPP
portunity. Singles by Marsans and
Nunamaker and Cullop's double gave a
run in the fourth. On this double Nuna-
maker came home by way of Phi!adel-
phia and was caught at the plate =.
Home Run Baker knocked Mitchell
out of the box with a triple in the
fifth, which followed the hitting Of two
batters. Dauss then came in, and the
Yankees were through.
Picker Pipp remains the Big Pickle,
but he is not pining for company.

Chicago. Aug. 3.-Cy Williams and

Douglas held the visitors to five scat
tered hits and did not permit runner
10 pass second base. On the other
hand, Williams's single in the first inn
ing, following Mann's single and field
er's choice, gave Chicago its first run.
Williams scored the other run as a
result of mis- triple and sacrifice fly.
