GERMANS RAID
AMERICAN LINES
Strong Force Attacks, but Only
a Few Succeed in Enter
ing Our Positions.
TERRIFIC RAIN OF SHELLS.
Assault Aimed at Extreme Right OF
Our Line-Foe Active Near Lune-
viIIe-Trying to Regain Lost
Trenches by Bombardment.

i With the American Army in France.
After a terrific artillery preparation
large numbers of the enemy crossed
No Mans Land on the extreme right
of the American sector, northwest of
Toul. Apparently the purpose of the
raid was quickly accomplished, and
only a comparatively small number
entered our lines. Permission has not
been given to mention the number of
casualties.
This raid, like most of the others,
carried out all the way from the sea
to Switzerland, was designed to gather
information by means of taking pris-
oners.
East Of Luneville our patrols have
explored part of the German trench
which our artillery forced the enemy
to abandon. The patrols proceeded
laterally until they established contact
with the Germans. Our reconnaissance
and wire patrols found snipers' posts,
listening posts and nests from which
machine guns had been firing on our
lines. The artillery attended to all
these posts. The positions of the Ger
mans have been made so uncomforta-
BILE at several places that they are now
trying to regain a foothold by connect
ing shell holes.
Our troops have been subjected to
an extraordinarily heavy artillery FIRE
for the last "a hours. More than $40
shells, which make craters 20 feet deep
and 30 feet In diameter, fell I'm one Sec
ton Of the line. In another section
batteries have been shelled heavily.
More gas shells have fallen in both the
Toul and Luneville sectors, but the
larger number In the former.
We Retain Trenches Near LunevIlIe.
With the American Army In France
The American troops In the sector
east OF Luneville, in conjunction with
the French, are still holding the for
mer enemy trenches northeast of Ba-
donviller, although the Germans have
made another attempt to drive them
out with artillery. Shells, most of
them heavy and some of them of the
12-inch type, have pounded the posi-
lions internationally. but the Ameri-
cans and their allies have held on.
Consolidation of the positions has
been continued, and the series of OPP
erations In this particular part of the
sector has brought the French lines up
on a front of nearly three miles. The
parapets have been turned toward the
enemy, dugout entrances have, been
changed, and now dugouts have been
built to protect the men.
Finally it appeared as If the enemy
would abandon his attempt to drive
out the Americans and French, realiz-
ing 1t as almost hopeless. Throughout
the sector artillery firing Is continu-
ing, but no infantry activity has de-
veloped so far.

National Commission Makes
Drastic, Suggestion for Re-
construction of Base Ball.

CHICAGO, November 16.-EiEhteen
players will be sufficient to win a
major league pennant next year II
base ball is resumed and the recon-
mendations agreed on at = meeting
Of the national base ball commission
here today are accepted by the Amer
lean and National leagues at their
annual meetings next month.
President Johnson of the American
League and August Hermann, chair
man Of the commission, were particf-
pants in the conference. which had to
do with some leftover commission
cases in addition to q discussion of
the methods necessary to restore base
bali in 1919.
The suggestion of player limit of
eighteen men for the major leagues
when their schedules are resumed, is
in line with the retrenchment that is
believed necessary during the process
Of reconstruction, both In the sport
and management of the game. Low
ering the player limit from twenty
five to eighteen men will mean the
elimination of specialists" and the
ers.
The commission decided to inflict
severe fines on three members Of the
world champion Boston club for play
ing exhibition games through the east
after the world series with a. team
advertised as the Boston Red Sox.
Amos Strunk, Joe Bush and Walter
Schang were the players declared to
be guilty Of the practice. The de-
cision to withhold the usual world
series championship emblems from the
Boston players because Of the part
they played in the world series
strike was reaf1rmed.

Quality Of Players the Crux.

Quality Of Players the Cr.Ix.
Whether players Of caliber capable
OF presenting the sport on q par with
the quality of base ball established in
recent years will be available is the
consideration giving pause to these
leaders of the game who refuse to
commit themselves in regard to q re-
sumption of activities next year.
Doubt as to this point is responsible
for the attitude Of President Minor of
the local club, who is of the opinion
that the eligibility for diamond duty
Of first-string players now in the
service Of Uncle Sam will be the de-
termining factor in deciding whether
the major circuits campaign next
year.
"I am not prepared to express an
opinion as to whether the American
League will be in the field next sea-
son." President Minor said yesterday:
"If 1t Is possible to o6er base Dali OF
the quality the fans demand-base
they have learned to expect in re-
cent years-all well and good. But II

to resume operations. Events having

game are moving rapidly. think it
would be well to await developments :
Now johnson Is Hedging.
President Johnson Of the American
League has not been able to work up
any enthusiasm in regard to the pros
poets of base ball for 1919. He has
been quoted often this fall to the ef-
feet that the chances for q resump-
tion next spring were nil, but big Ban
is hedging now. his latest being to
the effect that il there is no objec-
tion on the part Of the national au-
thorities and If public sentiment
seems to demand base ball, MS league

1--WE will have our annual meeting
in December and by that time we hope
to be in position to determine Just
what can be done for next season. !
hope that many of our men WHO went
our way to open our gates next spring.
In the opinion Of Clark Griffith, there
is no question but that base ball will
carry on next year if there is no dare-
