to open any big-scale offensive in
Russia until the end Of May.
There are now q considerable
number of American-built Boston
bombers in Russia and travellers
reported that many fresh young
troops as well as new tanks and
mortars are moving up to the

Today's communique said that
the Germans recently lost at least
1900 dead as a result Of strong So

front, where nine German block
houses and 81 other Notifications
were knocked out. In other sec

munique said that German at
tempts to penetrate Russian lines
were broken UP and 300 enemy
dead were counted on the field.
The Germans now are attacking
with smaller tank groups, the news
paper Red Star said, but despite
this cautious approach at least 125
enemy tanks were destroyed in re-
cent weeks.
Hard fighting was reported on
the Finnish front, where two Ger
man regiments were shattered.
Firms Beaten Back
The Firms had called uEO reserves
and counter attacked with tanks
and armored cars in an unsuccess-
full effort to prevent the Red army
from breaking through their forth
fed lines. They massed artillery
and trench mortars against the adj
vancing Soviet troops, who were
fighting through great mine fields
protecting important positions.
Finnish reserves were thrown
nine times against the Russian
lines, dispatches said, but each time
they were hurled back with heavy
losses. Although the intensity Of
the battle increased daily, the Firms
were said to hold now only few
houses on the western side Of an
important though unidentified, po-
sition.
(The Helsinki newspaper Helsin-
gin Sanomat said Finnish troops
were being seriously tested" by the
new Russian Karelian offensive. 1t

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28-(P)
Aside from climbing back into

sess a burning desire to smash
the mastery the Washington
Scnatore have maintained over
them.

10 games o seven, in the season
series. Big Al ,nton, who hasn't

The Tigers dropped another
half-game out of the first di-

whipping the Boston Red Sox,
and Detroit fell 2i2 games be-
hind the Tribe.

Series Planned
as War Benefit
$679.006 Moy Possibly

CHICAGO, Aug. &c Up
Baseball's offer to share $751;
544 to $679,0O6 of its World
Series kitty was extended today
to two organizations the
U.S.O. and the Red Cross-and
needed only their formal accept
ance and subsequent approval
by government authorities to 60

After comforting yesterday
with Presidents Will Harridge
Of the American League and
Ford Frick of the National
League, Lands revealed the
plan and said the two intended
beneficiaries had not been con.
suited beforehand.
STATISTICS AT HAND
Lands drew up 1912 series
estimates based on last Falls
classic between the New York
Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers,
which teams appear headed for
an encore meeting this year, and
allowing for the fact the first
two games will be in the Ma

leagues and the two participant
ing clubs, all would be turned

If the .eries should end in

first three tussles.- but the net
result of the struggle in Sports
mans Park was to send the
Dodgers into the last month of
the season with 5la game lead
and the knowledge that they
would need to stay awake to
keep it.
The Cardinals came back last
night with Max Lanier in the
fourth game of the series with
just two days rest since he had
held Brooklyn to four hits Mon
day night. The stocky southpaw
wasn't up to the job, however,
and was shelled for five success
sive singles and three runs in
the fourth. Then another left
handler, Ernie White, came in
and was pelted for an additional
single and Brooklyn's final run
before getting his house in or
der.
1t was the veteran Curt Davis,
once a Cardinal, who directed
the Dodger revival. In gaining
his 14th triumph of the season
he held the Redbirds to eight
scattered hits and knocked in
two of Brooklyn's run with a
single.
A crowd of 1865 saw the
game, bringing the attendance
for the series to more than o.
600.
BOSOX BOW
The Red Sox' string of nine
consecutive victories not only
was broken in the only Ameri-
can League game, but Cecil
(TeX) Hughson's skein of IL
straight pitching triumphs also
was snapped as Jim Bagby of
the Indians hurled a five-hitter.
One of the five, however, was
Ted Williams 9th home run in
the first inning
Bagby and Hughson dueled
with the score tied from the
fourth till the ninth when the
Indians drove across two runs
one on Roy Weatherly's looping
single with the bases loaded and
the other on fly.
A better pitching battle than
this, though, was given small
gathering of fans at Cincinnati
where the New York Giants
beat the Reds 20 by punching
five hits in the 18th inning after
Harry Feldman and Ray Starr
had labored through ten score
less innings.
1t was learned later that
this was one of the most dis
appointing pitching losses in
the long career of Ray Starr,
because earlier in the day he
had PROMISED TO win for his
1-year-old son who was TAX
