To Prevent Sailing.
The most recent rule made by the
Wisconsin commission should go a
lops way toward preventing Sailing
in enc ring. The boxing solons have
decreed that in the future any boxer
found guilty Of shamming i'm the
ring shall forfeit his share Of the
purse and the money be handed over
TO some worthy charity.
A clause 10 this effect is 20 be
inserted in all contracts signed dur
ing the year. so that the offender

the medium Of the courts.
This move on the part Of the Wis
consin commission should insure
boxing fans in the Badger state OF
getting their moneys worth. which
is whole lot more than the boxing
fans i'm other states can be sure of.
Must Deliver Goods.
In New York. before the death OF
the Frawley law. there were nu-
merous instances where such a rul-
ing was badly needed The fans
were dissatisfied and voiced their
sentiments. The clubs that tried TO
uphold the game by holding back
purses were overruled 10y the boxing
commission. which had 10 rule ac-

boxers.
There Is no argument that can

George Stallings. manager of the
Boston Braves, gives the pitchers of
tGday credit for the decrease i'm the
number of 800 hitters i'm the two
big leagues.
There are n number of reasons
why batting has decreased" said
Stallinsg recently. "The foul strike
rule and the spitball have done their
chare 10 knock points off the batting
averages. but jan my opinion, the best
answer lies in the fact that the
pitchers are smarter now than they
used - be. They are pitching bet
ter ball and they pitch just as much
with their heads as with their arms

 BERLIN, (Via London) Aug. 20.-The German official communi- cation issued this evening dealing with the new battle between the Disc and the Aisne, says the first attack by the French broke down on the German battle positions after bitter fighting. The text of the statement says:
 "A new breaking through at tempt on the part of the French, which had been expected for some days and which was preceded on August 18 and 19 by strong at tacks, commenced today between the Disc and the Aisne. The first enemy assault broke down on our battle positions after bitter struggle"
 The official communication is- sued by general headquarters to- day says:
 Southwest of Baileul the artiI- Iery activity frequently increased to great strength. Monday even ing the enemy renewed his at- tacks on the battle field of Sunday. South of Meteren they were un- able to develop owing to our con- centrated fire. North of Vieux- Berquln they were repulsed in hand to hand fighting.
 "On both sides of the Lys a few days ago without fighting, we withdrew our posts which had been thrown forward as far as west of MerviIle to a line east thereof. MerviIle was occupied last night by enemy attachments.
 "Near Lens and on the Scarpe British thrusts were repused. North of Lihons our shock troops attacked the front line of British posts, captured the defenders and warded off several enemy counter attacks. Southwest of Chaulnes we beat back an enemy attack, launched in the evening after a short outburst of firing. North west of Rove the French renewed their attack with tanks. They were repuIsed.
 Between Beuvraignes and the Disc there was bitter fiqhtina throughout the day. Here, on a broad front the French advanced repeatedly in strong attacks, partly with divisions which had been freshly brought up. South of Crapeaumesni their attacks col lapsed before our lines. On both sides of Fresnieres they broke down under our counter attack.
 "ln violent hand to hand fight ing the enemy was repuIsed be . tween lassigny and Thiescourt and parts of our front lines, into which he had penetrated were cleared again. In the same way we held our adjacent lines to the

 JACKSON, Miss, Aug 20-Returns from the central and southern portions of the state showed Representative E. P. Harrison running far ahead of Senator James K. Vardaman in the democratic primary. E. r. Noel, a former governor. was third.
 Nardaman lost his home city, Jack son, and was beaten in his ward 121 to 2S. Warren county in which Vicks- burg is situated, gave Harrison 1,238; Nardaman 104.
 Politicians expressed the belief that President Wilson's letter stating that he could not but regard Vardaman's election as a condemnation of my ad- ministration by the people of Mississ- ippi,' had a strong bearing on the vote.
 Both the other candidates put en- phasis on loyalty and patriotism. Sena- tor Vardaman denied there was any question of his loyalty. Vardaman headquarters tonight insisted the vote from the northern section of the state at least would make a second primary necessary.

GERMANS INCREASE
 ARTILLERY, INCREASE . AERIAL ACTIVITIES

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY ON THE VESLE FRONT, Aug. 20.-The operations of the Germans between Soissons and Reims since the French began their offensive northwest of Soissons have been characterized by a slightly increased use of artillery and n decrease in aerial activity. There have been no alterations of any inn portance in positions along the Vesle front.
 Raids Are Successful
 The Americans carried out raids last night near Bazoches. The operations were successful. One of the prisoners taken gave information to the Ameri- cans concerning the German units along that part of the line. The Ger mans are still using their artillery against the French and Americans and also are continuing to send over gas projectiles.
 It is assumed that the reduction in the aerial activities of the Germans is due to the dispatch of some of their squadrons to the battle zone north west of Soissons, as it is considered unlikely that the Germans under est- mate the operations there
 Render Holdings UntenabIe
 The belief prevails in army circles that unless the French are checked the line may swing from the pivot near Soissons to the plateau from which the allied positions would render he German holdings south of the Aisne untenable except at an enorm- ous cost.
 The nature of the German artillery fire apparently would indicate sta- oilized line north of the Vesle, but no permanent trenches have yet been dis covered. which tends to support the theory that the enemy still intends to recross the Aisne Meanwhile the Ger man line is being subjected to almost constant artillery smelling by the Americans and French.
