Manager Mitchell of the Cubs and the players themselves were confident that the American league title holders would not be able to repeat this af- ternoon their victory of yesterday. They characterized the performance of yesterday of Babe Ruth as a f1uke.
 Tyler, for the Cubs, and Bush, for the Red Sox, were picked by the fans to start in today's game. Neither manager would make known his choice definitely. The batting order. subject to the usual eleventh hour changes, was as follows:
 Boston: Hooper, If; Shean, 2b; Strunk, cf; Ruth. If; McInnis, 1b; Scott, ss; Thomas, 3b; Agnew, c; Bush or Mays, ?.

Important arrests are expected at any hour and it was hinted the trail will lead to unexpected and influ- ential quarters.
 Government agents were mum as to the details of the discoveries they have made and will not reveal any facts concerning the disciphering Of the various codes found in the first raid upon the home, of Charles Mudry. They are however, confident they hay discovered one of the mediums OI communication between enemy forces.
 Papers found when the radio sta ton was seized led the federal agents on trip out of town today and it is quite probable that a chain of sim liar wireless plants will be seized along the sea coast. All doubts as to the sending capacity of the instru- ments seized were dispelled this morn- ing by the discovery of more batteries which if hooked onto the instruments would give them a sending power of some 500 or 500 miles.
 Federal agents would not discuss the subject in any detail today but in an swer to inquiries said that it is quite possible the instruments taken in the

raids formed part of a system of wireless communication by which t. Boats at sea were kept informed not only as to the movements of troop ships and war vessels, put as to the vafious activities a~ound naval bases and the workings of the munition plants.
 The discovery of the plants in Bridgeport has caused a furry up and down the coast on both sides of Long Island Sound, and it would not be a surprising fact to the government men if other plants were discovered in the vicinity of New LonGon and Provi- dence.
 All the firearms taken in the raid today were fully loaded and were of a make which showed they were meant to be used with deadly effect.
 The two wireless plants seize are now in possession of the Army Intel ligence Bureau as we'll as all paper telescopes and firearms. The e~s. dence taken will according to the fed eral authorities, be the means of the richest hauls of Hun agents in the history of spy hunting around Bridgeport.

 SH|PbUILDING IN EASTERN STATES
Method of Confning Each Yard to Special Type of
 Vessel Is Planned.

- Philadelphia, Sept. 6.-The Elmer gency Fleet Corporation through Di- rector General Charles M. Schwab and Vice President Charles Piez, is work ing out new ship building policy whereby each Eastern shipyard will conf1ne itself to he construction of one type of vessel.

It also will help to inn prove the distribution of steel and in- crease the production of each yard. "
 The present contracts will be al- lowed to run to completion but every new agreement will be for one design of ship for each specific plant.

London, Sept. 6-Advancing east of the river Somme 10 the south of Peronne, the British have captured the villages of St. Christ Briest and Le Mesnil Bruntel, Field Marshal Haig reported in his official statement today. Several prisoners were taken by the advancing troops.
 On the Flanders front the British are established in portions of the old German front line east of Neuve Chapelle, and in the old British line in the Fauquissart sector.
 The British also have advanced northwest of Armentieres.
 North of Peronne British forces are in possession of the town of Bessu and are in the immediate vicinity of Templeaux la Posse, Nurlu and Equancourt. Australian troops have crossed the river Somme on a wide front to the south of Peronne.

On the Flanders front the British pressure seems likely to drive the Germans farther than they appar- ently had intended going in their re- tirement. Field Marshal Haigs troops are pressing in upon Armentieres both from the north and the south and their thrust seems likely soon to be regarded as threatening Lille. the great manufacturing centre of north ern France, southwest of Armentieres.
 In this sector the British are nov ing east from Neuve Chapelle and have pushed at several points beyond the old German line.

Through the continued French pro- gress on the German right flank north of the Aisne, however, even the Chemin des Danes line seems virtu- ally outflanked and the retirement may not stop short of the Ailette.
 The campaign for Cambrat has halted as far as the push on the dl- rect line for the city is concerned, but the advances which the Anglo-French forces are making southward along the line are calculated to work nota- blv toward the success of the main drive. The Somme. and the Canal du Nord water barriers have been passed in this sector and the German stand back of the canal in the north may be rendered futile, as the enemy left flank on the canal line at Havrincourt is menaced by the drive farther south.

Efforts of Americans to Keep Up With German Re

 LEAVING THE VESLE; Great Stores of Supplies and
 Ammunition Left Behind in Their Haste.

With the American Forces on the Aisne Front, Thursday, Sept. 5 - (By the Associated Press)-In their endeavor to keep up with the Germans who are retreating beyond the river Aisne the Americans have or ganized automobile machine gun attachments with three men to each car. More than 30 cars were operated north of the Vesle river early today.
 The outfit had supplies of food and equipment to enable them to keep after the Germans for days.
 From the Vesle northward over the plateau the Germans were burning everything they could not move north ward or that might be of use to the French and Americans. Between the Marne and the Vesle the Germans had left great stores of supplies and ammunition because of their hasty withdrawal.
 The Germans had tried to destroy small bridges. Engineers quickly re- paired the roads. Nothing of military value was found.
 The plauteau for every few miles was dotted with frames of German aerodromes from some of which the Americans say German raiders who bomb Paris operated.
 The canvas coverings for the hang ars were taken by the Germans when they retired and the wooden frames were so damaged by shells that they virtually are worthless.
 Before the advancing Americans in the desolate valley of the Vesle be- tween Bazoches and Fismette the Ger mans burned the freight cars along the railroad and twisted skeletons of the cars are standing on the tracks. The trees along the roadway between Bazoches and Fismette had been cut down by German saws and by German shells. The stone houses in Fismette have shell holes in their sides and roofs and some were smashed by Ger man bombers who tried to drive out the Americans.
