MATTY’S CREW LOSES N OVERTIME GAME HMeGraw's Workmen Jump Back Ino First Division Washington New York, July 29.—Perhaps the venerable Chris Mathewson was the Gha extra inning jinx. Matty hasn’t been on the winning side of a single Harlem extra inning debate this season. He lost one himself pitching for the Giants, watched Mec- Gr pets lose seven others from the Gotham bench, and since he came to town in his red scenery he saw his Cincinnati tailenders drop a pair in évertime Yesterday on the Polo grounds the Rhineland crew suc- sed to the Giants in ten innings score of 3 to 2. ince assuming command of the Reds the Big Train has lost four out of six games, and three of hia defeats were plastered on him in extra in- nings. After retuyrning home without Bfatty the Giants won their only ex- tra inning victories of the year on the home grounds. Does it not look as though Big Six is guilty. That Giant victory yesterday did many things. It placed the McGraw outfit back in the first division, and enabled the Giants to win their first series at home this year, unless their victory in the only game played of the last scheduled St. Louis may be called a series. The Harlem also matched their best home drive of the season, when they won two straight games.

But in the second half of the same inning the sassy Superbas launched a vicious counter attack on Steele, blowing him out of the box and keeping up the cannonading on his rescuer, Hy Jasper, until five Flatbush Fusileers had charged across the home plate and tied the score. It was some inning! After the second frame Jasper and | big Wheezer Dell crossed shoots in a. | pitchers’ duel.

ALLIED FIGHTERS AY, JULY 29, 101 ITALY STOPGAP FOR | Hughes Seeks Information On the Mexican Situation Plays Important Role in War As Review of Year Shows Rome, July 29.—Complying with a request from The Associated Press, | the Italian authorities have prepared a statement reviewing the past year | of war from the Italian viewpoint. Although the anniversaries that are marked by the early days of August | close the second year of the war for Germany, Austria-Hungary, Russia, France and Great Britain, Italy has only a little more than passed the first anniversary of her participation in the conflict, which began May 23, 1915. But in the view of the Italian authorities, Italy’'s alignment with the entente powers has been no small fac- tor in checking the successes of the Central Powers. In the statement officially prepared for The Associated Press, great praise is bestowed on General Cadorna, the Italian Chief of Staff, as ‘‘a powerful organizer and cautious strategist,” who is declared to have conducted his campaign against Austria with a view to rendering the greatest pos- sible aid to the entente allies. It is asserted that the early reverses of the Russians might have run into complete disaster if Italy had not just at the time of the Russian wetreat entered the conflict and forced Aus- tria to employ a vast number of her troops on the southern houndaries. Further, the offensives which the Italians have launched from time tc time rendered it impossible for Aus- tria to carry out her purpose of send- ing troops and artillery either to the aid of the German Crown Prince for the attack on Verdun or to fight the Russians. Oflicial Statement. The war which Italy is fighting with her allies is imperfectly under- ! stood abroad in its ideals as well as in its technical development, thus needing explanations even after year of Italy’s participation in conflict. “When the European war began Italy held back for ten months, re- specting alliance which for a third of a century had bound her to Central i The tw hour o or the purpose of acquiring in- a | formation about the situation on the the | border Charles -m. e republican candidate for | talk m the presidency, held a consultation | speech in New York with United States Sen- | that tI Albert B.

But longer than this she could not disregard the call of the entente power: They were fighting for a principle of nationality to which Italy is indebted for her existence. They were fighting for principles of law and justice of which Italy has been an exponent since the time of the Romans. “Furthermore Italy could no long- er delay solution of the question of the Ttalian provinces that were still subject to persecution by Austria. It was imperative that Italy should con- test the frontier imposed by Austria after the war of 1866 which gave her northern neighbors possession of all the gates and passes leading into | Italy. It was imperative also that Italy should gain supremacy in the Adriatic, without which she could never be said to enjoy liberty and peace in full security. “Although unprepared for war, fortunately possessed in General dorna a powerful organizer and cautious strategis Taking the Ital- and ! of canr several have to be dug out of their nests, 10.- 000 feet up amid eternal snows.

Throughout the cam- paign Cadorna aimed to render his allies the greatest possible services. “Italy began her operations just at the time when the Russians. were | obliged to retreat. The strong army which Cadorna threw across the northern border menacing Austria may have saved that Russian retreat from a complete disaster. Similarly, when the Germans attacked Verdun, Cadorna started a strong offensive along the Isonzo river, which pre- vented Austria from sending to the ald of the German Crown Prince large numbers of troops and artil- lery which had been prepared for that purpos “Equal advantages have recently been obtained by Austria’s temporary invasion of a small section of the Ttalian Trentino front in the Asiag district. If Austria had not centered | all her forces in this enterprise it | would have been much more difficult for Russia to launch the marvellous offensive which she is now conduct- ing. Profiting by the situation, Gen- eral Cadorna attacked the Austrians so energetically that their removal from the Alps to the Carpathians to fight the Russians has been out of | the question. “In Albania General Cadorna like- ' wise aided our allies. It being ma- terially impossible to save Serbia and Montenegro, he transformed the Al- banian seaport of Avlona into an im- pregnable entrenched camp, threat- ening and checking the Austrians in | the same manner that the allied troops at Saloniki have held back the Bulgarians. “Above all others in this war stands our king, modest soldier and fervent patriot.
