i VOLUME 12, N0, 143, ALLIES REPULSE GERMAN ATTACK| (American Press.) London, Oct. 12.—A dispatch fron? Amsterdam says: Telegram from Vienna states it is officially announc- ed that the rapid advance of Aus- trians has relieved Przemysl, Galicia. The Austrians have entered fortress at all points and where Russians at- tempted resistance they were beaten. The retreating Russians attempted to cross river San and many were captured. bondon, Oct. 12—The fall of Ant- werp ends the hope of the allies to de- Hever a crushing blow against the Geérman army in France before the occupation of the Belgian fortress by the ememy. The German right wirg under General von Kluck apparently still is intact and the official com- munication given out in Paris does not give evidence of any material change in the situation on the allies’ lett, although it asserts the fighting continues under. satisfactory condi- tions, “the entire battle front having been maintained in spite of violent attacks of the enemy at several points.” The statement, whi¢h {is brief, says the fighting on the left wing be- tween the cavalry forces is confusing because of the nature of the battle- ground. To the north of the Oise and in the region of St. Mihiel the French make claim of material progress. ‘The strategic value of Antwerp to the Germans arose largely from the fact of its menace to their lines of communication. With the Belgian army withdrawn to a position half way between Antwerp and Ostend, the pressure on these lines will be removed, at least temporarily. GAME TIE IN 1ITH With but two victories between them and the championship of the world: the Boston Braves, playing on their home grounds, entered the the game today determined and con- fident that once more the Athletics would be turned away in defeat. Stallings, as had been expected, se- lected Tyler, the third member of his magnificent. pitching corps, to pitch. Conni¢ Mack. did not send Bender, the Indfan; Who was detented Priday, to the mound, but instead appointed Bush, the Brainerd lad, who beat the Giants in a 8 to 2 game at New York in the world’s series of a year ago. The loss of the game practically means the sure loss of the champion- pionship to Connie Mack, and his picking of Bush demonstrates the high regard in which he holds the youngster. The Athletics scored in the first and fourth, while the Braves counted in the second and fourth. Neither side scored in the fifth, sixth seventh and eighth. At the end of the tenth the score stood 4 to 4. Score by innings on going to press: Athletios --11001000002 * Braves 0101000002"* CARDINAL FERRATA DEAD.

There was no more scoring in the first quarter, but in the second Get- chell, the big tackle of the Bemidji eleven, was. given the ball and on a| terrific off-tackle smash carried it ‘ten yards for the second touch- down. Brandon missed -goal. A minute later Brandon, captain and right half, ripped off seven yards for six more points, and was successful in his attempt to kick goal. Score at end of half: Bemidji 19, Thief River 0. It was in the-third quarter that Bemidji began a series of forward passes that completely hewildered the Thief River boys. .Shortly after the opening of the half McDonald whipped ‘a‘ forward pass'to Riley. who after making a sensational catch just as the ball was about to strike the ground, ran fifteen yards for a touchdown, Brandon missed goal. Score, Bemidji 25, Thiéf River 0. On the next kick-off Thief River returned the ball five yards and an attempted forward pass yas inter- cepted by Riley, who cleverly evaded three tacklers and crossed the goal line for his third touchdown of the game. Wiley kicked goal. Be- midji 32, Thief River 0. Bemidji scored twice in the last quarter, Brandon being given credit for both touchdowns, one on an in- tercepted forward pass and a run of thirty yards, and the other after re- reiving a perfect twenty-five yard s6° of - Hendrickson’s.—McDonald missed a goal and Brandon kicked the last. Final score, Bemidji 45, Thief River Falls 0. For Bemidji Riley was the real star of the contest. Last year this player won his letter at the Bemidji high school while playing quarter. His tackling yesterday was the game’s feature and repeatedly he would throw Thief River players for big losses, while he was always in the territory of the ball and covered up passes perfectly. Brandon also played a game worthy of mention, while Brinkman at guard stopped every play directed his way. McDonald’s playing at quarter re- minded one of his old high school days when he directed several of 4he championship elevens to victory. His play selection was good and his pass- ing sure. Wiley and Hendrickson in the backfield were always good for substantial gains, while Bell at end broke up play after play. Get- chell and Lycan at tackles received the brunt of the attack of the oppo- sition and the fact that omly three times during the game did Thief River make first down proves their worth. The Ripple brothers- at guards played strong football. Gavin at full for Thiet starred for the home team, Duncan Stanton played well. Bemidji’s lineup: Bell, left end; Lycan, left tackle; R.
