southeastern point of battle and at
Arras
These tactics were not tried, however,
until the Germans had failed in two
costly attacks to make further progress
against Amiens. First, on the fifteenth
day of battle, the French sustained
tremendous attack on front of eighteen
miles in the Montdidier region. This was
crushed amid bitter fighting, though the
Germans threw nearly 1000 men into
the fight. A similar attack on the fol-
lowing day against tifteen-mile line of
British just east of Amiens likewise
failed

The Change of Tactics

ON the seventeenth day therefore the
Germans attacked heavily on a ten
mile sector in the extreme southeast, but
were repulsed. In the following two
days the French retired somewhat to the
Athlete, losing about 1000 men, but in
f1icting heavy losses.
On the twentieth day these tactics were
repeated against the British and Portu
guese in the region of Armentieres. north
of Arras, thus extending the battle to
Ypres and producing a front of nearly
$50 miles. The twenty first day of battle
saw the Germans gaining ground around
Armentieres to a depth of five miles in
places over twenty miles of front.
At this writing-the twenty-second
day-Armentieres has been evacuated.
heavy fighting for the possession of Mes
sines and Wytschaete continues. and tho
Germans claim the capture of 10000
prisoners and 100 guns.

Sportsman's Park, ST. Louis. June J.
vean Gregg and Schocker began in
the box for their clubs this afternoon,
the third game of the Athletics-Browns
series The day was ideal and fair
crowd was out to witness the contest
In the first inning there was no scor-
ing, neither team getting man to frst
base. TIE weather was still hot and
seemed to handicap the players.
Connie Mack has issued an S. o. S.
for a pitcher.
: The STAFF Mack possesses shows but
three regulars. Perry, Myers and Gregg.
and when the other fellow puts on
batting attack, Connie cannot rely on
his second string fellows to check the
rally.
The game was lost Saturday because
Perry could not hold the Browns after
the Athletics slammed Grover Lowder-
milk for five runs in the second inning
This beyy put the Browns, who scored
three in the first on Myers, behind,
hut the Browns raped Myers and Perry
in the next two innings and the Ath-
letics drew a defeat where with good
pitching they would have won.
In Yesterdays game Perry attempted
IN work once more. He pitched a high
class game for Ave innings and was tied,
Y,
dermilk. In the sixth two runs were
scored by the Athletics and Perry went
out TO hold the short lead. but his arm
could not hold out. He was found for
a double and two singles for one run In
the sixth, for double and single and
a run in the seventh, and in the eighth
Demmitt and Smith singled and Gedeon
doubled for two runs.
It is probable that Mack will leave the
team for day or so out In the West
and tour the American Association. Last
wear Connie brought in Fred Falken-
burg. but the big right-hander could
not get through the American League.
1t is impossible to secure pitcher via
trade In the American League, as the
other managers are in the same fix.
Connie had one deal or in the spring
with the Browns and made several at
tempts to land Tom Rogers, but Fielder
Jones always baked. Rogers would be
an ideal hurler 40 Connie right now.

HARD WEEK FOR
NEW YORK CLUBS
Yankees and Giants Face
Crucial Contests in
League Chase
YANKS CONSIS T E N T

New York, June 3.
1t is too early in the season for real
crucial situation in baseball, but this
week promises to be an interesting as
we'll as an important one for poth the
Giants and the Yankees. McGraw's
champions have a fight on their hands
to retain their hold on first place in the
National League, while the fanks have
a chance to 60 into the lead in the
american League.
Giant fans will be just as much inter-
estco this week in the series between the
Cubs and the Braves at Boston as they
will be in the results at the Polo GROUND
The Chicago club is just game ana
half behind the Giants now, ana tne
situation is filled with possibilities The
Giants cannot afford another slump
while the Cubs are battling against the
comparatively weak Braves.
If the Giants should relinquish the
lead in the National League, II only for
a day, there will be groan OF anguish
a long Broadway Many stanch Giant
rooter has backed his belief that the
Giants would not be headed this year.
This belief was founded, of course, on
the great lead the Giants gained at the
start of the race. At the time they
went West there were few who had the
hcart to say they ever would be pressed
Blu, baseball is uncertain, and today
the Giants are seriously threatened.
Cubs Threaten Giants
1t Is significant, too, that they are
threatened by the old rivals, the Cubs.
The Cubs have seemingly come to life
again They loom up as the one real
contender in the race after being rank
outsiders for six years. The old rivalry
was re established when the Giants re-
Gently called on the Cubs at Chicago.
The visit of the Cubs to the Polo Ground
promises to be the nrst real Dig series
of the season.
McGraw is confident that Che Giants
will win this year il he sustains no
further injuries to his club. At present
he considers them strong enough to ward
of the Cubs and Reds. who are the only
really threatening factors in the race. He
is counting on the fielding of Rodriguez
to consolidate the defense. and once his
club gets back into its batting stride. the
punch should be sufficiently strong TO
Offset the loss Of Doyle
Yankees Pursuing Boston
The Yankees have probably been less
spectacular than the Giants. but they
have been far more consistent. They
have played steadily without having any
exceptional winning streaks. For three
weeks they have been hanging close to
the heels Of the Boston Red Sox waiting
for a favorable break that would help
them close the gap The opportunity has
finally come to them. They gained
