HEAVY ARTILLERY
FIGHTING ON AVRE
All the Infantry Moves By
the Enemy Failed Dismal
ly Against the French
During the Night

The edging in process was continued
by the British last night in the impor-
tant sector east of Amiens, between the
Ancre and the Somme, the Australians
following up their recent successes here.
The operation was purely local one,
but it resulted in anchoring the British
line more firmly on the ridge between
Sally lie Sec and Morlancourt and thus
putting it in a better position to resist
the expected German assault.
The artillery fire continues violent on
important sectors. The Germans are
shelling heavily the Anglo French front
southwest of lpres and the sector south
of the Somnfe between Villers Breton
neux and Hailles. These sectors saw the
heavy fighting previous to the German
repulse north Of Mont KENNEL nine days
ago. Enemy fire against the southern
side of the Arras sector, which lies north
of Albert, also has been intense.
Having gained some advantageous po
sitions in local. fighting, the allies are
waiting for the next effort of the Ger
mans, which already has been delayed
much longer than in previous lulls since
the beginning of the offensive on March
81. Meanwhile fresh troops and new
supplies are pouring in to strengthen the
allied positions and this fact must also
add to the perturbation of the enemy,
who has nothing remarkable in military
achievement to show for his heavy losses
of the past seven weeks.

(By the Associated Press. The Aus |
tralians last night made another ad |
vance, pushing forward their lines five |
hundred yards along a front of six hun
dred yards near Sally lie Sec, on the sec
tor east of Amiens. They also pushed
back the Germans 300 yards along a |
front of five hundred yards west of Nor
lancourt, just above Sally lie Sec. Not
withstanding heavy barrage the Ger
mans were unable to prevent their ad-
vance.
London. May S.-Successful minor OPP
nrations last night resulted in the ad
vance of the British lines a short dis
tsnce in the Amiens sector between the
Somme and Ancre rivers, the war Office
announces to-day.
Increased activity was developed by j
the hostile artillery early this morning ,
on the Flanders front between Metertn ,
and KENNEL.
The text of the statement reads;
''As the result of successful minor
operations carried out last night, I

SECOND
BATTLE At

East Chicago and Hammond
Will Tilt at Parduhn Park
in Second Inter City
Championship Game.

Hammond and East Chicago VIII play
their second game &c the series for the
baseball championship Of northern IN
diana next Sunday afternoon AZ Far
dahn Park.
The reason Why the second contest Is
NOT being played at East Chicago il be
cause Of the fact that Hammond.s dia-
mond IS IN much better shape than the
one over at the Twin City. also there
are far better facilities for the players
at the local park as the club house Is
fully equipped with shower baths and
anybody that has ever PLACED BAH knows
that il there IS one thing that a player
likes 70 do after a good stiff game ID isl
70 hop into \ nice refreshing shower.
especially so ia this hot weather. This
explanation IS merely made to let tho
Twin City fans know that ii Vas be-
cause Of the much better aecommoda-
tions at the Hammond park. that the
East Chicago management consented to
the entire series being played over here
East Chicago surely surprised lot
oF local fans by the speedy exhibition
they put on last Sunday when Ham
lnond was lucky to nose them out BY
the narrow margin Of one run the final
score being to with East Chicago
On the short end. Were it not for the
fact that the Twin city lads were un-

fortunate enough to mako a couple OF
errors at critical moments. they would
have romped away with a . 10 l victory
as 9oth their runs were scored en- clean
hits while Hammond earned only one OF
their three tallles. These. however, are
he breaks OF the game and East CHI
cago promises that IL they set an even
chance at the luck on next Sunday they
Will be sure TO even up the series at
one all.
The way these lads started after
Reynolds in the second inning it looked
like Hammond was due for trimming
at the hands Of their much under-rated
rivals Jim soon woke up to the fact
however that East Chicago meant bust
ness and after the second frame he
pitched more seriously with the result
that he had very little trouble holding
the enemy in check the rest of the way.
Hammond was no better off than East
Chicago in this respect as Morgan who
certainly looked every bit as good as he
is supposed 70 be pitched a swell game
aside from the fact that he was a little
Wild passing about an even half dozen
men. AS this IS something unusual for
Morgan to do. the East Chicago fans ex-
pect him 10 come back strong on next
Sunday and they feel confident that he
viii turn in a victory in his second
trial.
East Chicago will probably use their
sene lineup that started last Sunday as
both the fans and players are Of tho
opinion that Schwenke can put UP a
much better article of ball than he dis
played in the first game. Ordinarily
he IS supposed TO be a good first sacker
and one of the heaviest hitta~s on the
club as is indicated by the fact that he
bats in the cleanup position. The Twin
city bugs are with him strong and In
sist that last Sunday was his off dav
