HARLAN ship TEAM
IN TIE FOR LEAD
League Also Awards Locals
Two Protested Chester
Games
HAVE CHANCE NOW
TO WIN PENNANT

According to information received by
telephone this morning from PhiladeF
phia, the Harlan team OF the Delaware
River League has been awarded the two
games that Chester won from 1t, anC
which were protested because the
Chester manager used players that
were ineligible. This information came
from the office Of President McKaig
president Of the league.
This would place Harlan tied at the
top of the league and IL would seem as
though the local team had an excel
lent opportunity Of coping the pen
nant
But there are two other teams, Hog
Island and New York Ship, that are
close at the heels OF Harlan and any
misfortune in the next three games
would result disastrous for Harlan.
Because Of extra work about the
plant, Manager Gallagher was unable
to attend the meeting in philadelphia
on Tuesday night when the league
magnates did the scalplng. Consequent
ly all tho information he had about
the meeting was what he read In some
Of the newspapers yesterday.
This morning Mr.. Gallagher called
up the office Of Mr.. McKaig on the tele-
phone and was told that In addition TO
being awarded the game that Sun ship
won, when II was charged ineligible
players were used, that the two games
won by Chester and protested for the
same reason had also been awarded to
Harlan.

by our counterthrusts.

Even were the Allies TO be stopped
now, they have accomplished far more

their counter blow.
Meanwhile, the French, Americans
and British are methodcally pushing
on, meter by meter, kilometer by kilo-
meter. while Ludcndorff Is putting in
divisions from other parts Of the line

attempt to create a depression in the
United States as German official and
seml-ofllcial channels have repeatedly
turned upon the French and the British
Any reference to the American troops
as cannon fodder is obviously redicu-
lous. II is well known that they have
been brlgaded with British and French
troops as well as operating by divisions
among themselves. Any statement that
any particular class Of troops has been
picked for sacrifice is said by officials
to be almost unworthy Of notice.
Every one here comedies that the
American forces have probably suffered
heavy casualties. How heavy has not
yet begun TO appear in the official lists.
/ Last Saturday General March, chief OF
staff. gave warning that the operation
would cost something, but added that
the Government had as yet no knowl-
edge Of what it would be.
From time to time the German Of
| hcial statements have attempted to
create depression and dissenslon in
Great Britain's colonies by declaring
that the Canadian and Australian troops
were being sacrificed on the first lines.
Then the German propaganda turned TO
the French with insldious statements
that the French territOrials, including
the Senegalese.and the MOroccans, were
being butchered. A little later the
same methods were used in an attempt
TO inilame the Negro population Of the
United States with statements that
American Negroes were placed in the
line Of flre 10 shield white troops.
Yesterdays statement Is regarded as
being wholly in the same class. When
the American casualty list begins TO
come In officials are confident 10 will
not be inconsistent with the results or
with the sacrifices OF the French.
II appears likely that the Franco
American losses in the first rush OF the
battle were less heavy than was 10 have
been expected. The blow was a sur
prise, and German positions that could
not have been taken otherwise. except
at great cost. fell before the enemy
knew that the battle was on. Skillful
employment OF French tanks also un-
doubtedly reduced losses in the first
phases OF the attack, always the most
costly In casualties.
The Germans are now suffering under
the disadvantage OF being unable to
check their own losses, for they are
retreating. Their dead and wounded
fall into allied hands, while allied
casualties are all behind allied lines
The German statement Is regarded
wholly as circulated TO stimulate the
spirits OF the German troops and peo-
pie.
