Warsaw, Aug. 13.-Warsaw was
stirred when battalion OF women
mnrched through the main streets on
their way to the front to take up
share in the capitals defense. Each
woman carried rifle and ammunition.
The women already have been under
fire. participating in the defense OF
wilma, where they suffered more than
sixty casualties.
A great battle is being fought in the
vicinity of Pultusk about thirty-elght
miles north of Warsaw, where the Boi-
shevists have launched violent at
tack intended to oust the Poles from
the town "nt any price"
Pnris.-The situation at Warsaw
continues critical. The Russian plan
of rampaign of delivering successive
blows ut different points tends TO dis-
organize the Polish defense, compel
ling the Polish staff to rush reserves TO
widely separated points.
The Red northern forces have been
heavily reinforced and pushed to with
in thirty miles of the capital. Inc
Poles are making desperate stand on
defenses hastily thrown up around Pui-
tusk, and, although badly equipped
half trained and not too well supplied
with ammunition. they are holding
their own, according to the latest news.
But the issue still is in the balance.
The operations of General Wrangel,
anti-Roishevist commander in South
Russia, can do nothing to relieve the
pressure on the Poles, according TO
French military opinion. Wrungel is
marching out of the Crimea to find on
the continent a means for feeding the
refugees who followed his retreat last
year
warsaw of conveyances
of all descriptions loaded with bnrbed
wire and driven by boys and old men,
are streaming through the Polish cap
ital toward the battle front. Mingled
with them are endless trains of supply
wagons guarded by elderly civilians
armed with rifles. All able-bodied men
are being relieved from other duties so
that they may be available in the fight
for the defense of Warsaw.
Women soldiers are acting as cour-
iers and French military mission Off
GERS are showing extreme activity.
As the fighting front draws nearer
Warsaw squads of citizens are drilling
in many parts of the city. AS the de-
termined-looking groups pass through
thes treets many boys in knickerbock-
ers, elderly men and well-to-do mer-
chants are to be seen side by side with
the more usual type of fighter.
Newspaper accounts declare that the
spirit of the people is to defend War
saw, repel the invader and not to count
the cost in blood.
The government, while it will not
concede that date has been set for
evacuation. is gradually moving away
the important state documents.

RIBBONS GIVEN TROvNClNC BY
 DeNERI SQUAD

The Blue Ribbons can't strike a winning squirt against the fast aggre- gadons of the Eastern league. They struck another 'snag last night when they lost to the DeNeri five of Phil adelphoa by p to 25 at Colonial hall. One Of the DeNeri players missed the train and they gave McGran, a local player, chance. He showed them something when he scored three field goals and one foul throw The fans applauded McGran heartily.
 As Schwab, the Ribbon forward. is out of the game with a sprained an kle, Manager Leavy of the Ribbons had to change his lineup again. Wright paired with Wassmer at for ward but did not do much. Schwab hurt his ankle in a game at Reading Pa., last week but he hoped to be able to play this week. Brown, the DeNeri forward, was the star of the game with record of five field goals. The Ribbons held their own in the frs half which ended 15 to IA in their ia. Vor. They fell behind in the second half, however.

New York, March 5-Singularlv enough Patsy Wallace of PhiladeI- phia, who gave Wilde the hardest tussle he has had in America and ina only boxer to knock the f1yweight champion off his feet, is a. gennine fyWeight. Wallace is an Italian. stands feet l inch tall, and in con dlt1on for the ring weighs 1O5 pounds When Wallace faced Wilde in inc National A A. in Philadelphia it was the first time in the history of tha quaker that he had met an opponent or his own weight, and it was the first time since Wilde started his American campaign that he had box ed a man who did not outwe eigh hin, many pounds.
 While Wilde saved himself from a complete knockdown in the sixth round by supporting himself with his hands, still the achievement is tribute to the hitting powers of the Quaker and would seem to indicate that there is at least one f1yweight in America worthy respectful considera. tion.
 Nearly all of WalIace's bouts have been with bantams. Pete Herman be. ing one of the little chaps opponents and none of them caused him to take the count.
 Previous to the bout with Wilde Wallace declared that he had no fear or the champion and he proved fl by his demeanor during the contest It will be advisable to keep an eve on Wallace.

 A few words to say regarding my protege, Marty Collins and the pros pective opponents of Jimmy Wilde and Jack Sharl1ey.

Six Day Riders to
 Organize New Teams

New York, March 5.---War has
 broken out in the French camp of the riders entered in the stx-day race. which starts Sunday at midnight. the result being that the makeup of two teams has been changed, Deruyter riding with Brocco and Godivier team ing up with Van Nak. Deruyter is d bitter enemy of Egg, and his first partner Godivier, refused to listen to the slurs heaped' upon the Swiss cham plon' the two being close friends.
 Deruyter, who is a counterpart of Frank Klaus, the boxer, and the hand lest man with his hands among the foreigners, came to the Garden often yesterday and declared himself, say- Ing that he would rather go home than to ride with Godivier. To keen peace in the camp the change in the teams was made, and another rivalry has cropped up that should make the race more bitterly contested than ever
 The three $1oo0 matches next Sat. urday night at the sprint meet are at decided interest. Egg and Outlet will be seen in a mile match for the best two out of three and a pursuit race. Frank Kramer will meet Arthur Spencer in a mile match, and the Belgian bearcats, Buysse and Spelssons, will enter pursuit race against Coburn and Kopsky.
 The advance sale of seats at the Garden is far beyond the expectations of the promoters, which is an indica- ion of another record gathering of fanS

YALE WILL USE
 ENGLISH STROKE
 COMING SEASON

New Haven, Conn, March 5-In outlining his policy for the season Head Coach Guy Nickalls of the Yale crew, gave the following statement last night to the Yale Daily News:
 Yale will again use the modified English stroke this Spring the stroke which won victories in 1914 and 1915. Every effort will be put forth to make rowing a pleasure and re- creation this year.
 Every candidate will be urged to report for the squad whether he has any special talent or not From the crew material a 150-pound crew will be selected to row at the American Henley. It is unfortunate that con. hct1ng schedules will not allow one of the Yale or Harvard crews to cross the ocean and compete in the English Henley this year.
 It was a great pleasure for me to find on my arrival yesterday that everything had been prepared for inc season. The services of George Van Sanford and W. J. Adams have beer secured as assistant coaches for the season.

MCCRAM GIVES GIANTS WORKOUT
 AT TEXAS CAMP

San Antonio, Texas, March 5.---Johu J. LMcGraw, manager of the New York National League baseball team, has arrived here rom Havana, Cuba. He at once assumed active charge of the Glants training. McGraw was accom- panied from Cuba by Larry Doyle.
 The Giants and the San Antonio club of the Texas League will play exhibi- ton games here Saturday and Sun day. Stories of cold weather in Flor. ida make the Giants chuckIe. How ever, there is no telling when the chuckling may be reversed. One of these Texas northers does the trick iz an hour.
 Rube Benton reports a bigger cron of bunions than ever before Ben tons bunions make men wonder whl athletes whose legs and feet are oi such great use to them will wear as- shine shoes. Some of the natives here keep close tabs on the National League. A fan yesterday morning in quired, for Mike Donhn.
 The Giants miss the socia;biiIty of the folks at Marlin and Gainesville, as San Antonio is too big a city to bother much with even a major league ball club.

MOCRIOCE HAS
 PICNIC MAKING
 RUTH MISS FEM

jacksonville, Fla, March 5-The stiffness and slackened ardor that ar rive about this time in spring base pail practice visited the Yankee squad yesterday, but, although the condi- uon named caused something of an abatement in zest for work, the prac- uce became trifle more elaborate.
 Young pitchers, who are getting a good deal of attention from Hugsins while the more seasoned ones are al- lowed to use their own judgment in getting into trim. are McGraw and SmaIlWood
 Quinn, Mogndge and T,hormah1en each threw a number of curves. Mog- ridge tanta1ized Ruth with g. variei' assortment of hooks. and the Babes vain efforts to kill one were more en- tertaining for Mogridge than for the Babe The big fellow, to use his own words, 'hasn't landed on a ball good" this week. He hit many bad ones yesterday, and the only thing he has busted thus far is a bat.
 As it wasn't his bat, Ruth wasn'- greatly distressed, but he bewails the absence of his own bats He has been looking daily for consignment from Boston and won't be happy till he gets them He'd be happier, too, but for heartburn. Chew too much tobacco Or smoking too much. I guess,'' is his diagnosis.
 Shore didn't throw any hooks. Ii was his first try on the mound. Mays and Shawkey had an easy afternoon after workouts in the morning, For the two infeld drills the same con1bi- nation was at work as Wednesday, P1pp, Pratt, Rice and Ward. Pratt is getting spryer daily. He is lively on his feet, but is careful of his arm Ruth, who likes to have a hand in everything and is a willing and diliA- gent worker, filled in at short when. ever he could without getting in any. body's way. There is a great deal oi the boy in this big fellow.
 Roger Peckinpaugh has yet to ar. rive, and Fewster is still an invalid so the infie1d remains a makeshift af- fair. The first of the California crowd arrived yesterday morning. Frank O'Doul came in from the Gold en West and he thinks Hannah, Meu- sel and Lewis are somewhere enroute behind him.
 Last year O'Dou1 was not much use to the club as a pitcher. He hurt his arm in the spring and it was late in the season before it recovered. "How is the wing?'' he was asked yesterday afternoon. Fine" was the reply, "and I am going to go slow with it and see if it won't stay fine. It's been ever since the bonesetter worked on it last summer
 Keep your eye on Lefty O'Dou1 and see if he dosen't become the leading southpaw of the American League. That's his aspiration.

MCGraw Admits All
 Deals Fell ThrOuoh
Declares He Could Not Get Hornsby Maranve Stock or
 Roush Although He Made Big Offers

San Antonio, Tex. March 5-John McGraw, manager of the Giants, de- clared yesterday that so far he had been unsuccessful in his attempt to swing big deal which would have strengthened the inner defense of his team for the coming baseball season.
 His offer of $70,G0O in cash and players for Rogers Hornsby has been refused by the St, Louis club, and the possibility of the slugging infielder becoming a member of the Giants this season, even if McGraw should raise the ante is very remote. From the way McGraw talked, the owne1 or the Cardinals have no desire to dl- pose of their wonderful Rogers.
 Not so long ago." said McGraw, the St. Louis club couldn't refuse an offer for a single player which invo1v- ed so much money But this year the various owners of the National League are looking forward to a good s, Ason and are anxious to build up the weak spoGs of their teams, They are re- luctant when 1t comes to selling their best players
 How about Milton Stock coming to the Giants2'' McGraw was asked.
 The St Louis club offered Stock to the Giants in a trade which would have been foolish for me to consider,'' replied McGraw- q made a counter proposition which was refused by BEanch Hickey" and thus another deal which has been talked about for many weeks falls by the wayside-
