KAISER PROPS UP SPIRIT IN EMPIRE Issues Problamtions to Public and" Army and Navy Berlin, Aug. 2.—Emperor William issued proclamations yesterday to hearten the German people and the army. He reminded the scldiers of their achievements against Rumania, in Russia and on the western front, and assured the people that the de- fense Of a ‘‘strong free empire” was worth the blood and zeal it cost. To both the Kaiser promised final vic- tory. The proclamation reads: “To the German People: Three vears of hard fighting are behind us. With grief we remember our dead, with pride our soldiers now fighting, with confidence all our workers; and with a heavy heart those who are languishing in captivity: but above all our thoughts stand resolute in the de- termination to prosecute this righteous war of defense to a successful termi- nation. “The enemy is stretching out his hands toward German territory, but he shall never have it. New nations continue to enter into the war against us, but that does not frighten us. We know our strength and we are de- termined to make use of it. They wish to see us weak and powerless at their feet, but they shall not prevail. “They receive disdainfully our words of peace; they did not know how Ger- many could fight. Throughout the world they have slandered the Ger- man name, but they cannot extinguish the glory of German deeds. “Thus we stand erect at the close of this year, unmovable, victorious and intrepid.

MARY’S TEAM Pinch Hitter Dolan Produces Wallop That Downs Visitors A mighty slam for two sacks in the closing inning yesterday by Henry Dolan, brought victory for New Brit- ain State Playground league team over Manchester at St. Mary's play- grounds. The final score was 7 to 6. The game was a pretty pitchers battle with Kelly, who relieved Reynolds in the third inning having a slight shade on Connell who did the fling- ing for the Silk Town boys. The locals took the lead in second" inning when two runs were chased across the platter, but the visitors topped this advantage by one run in the third, when three tallies were registered. Again in the sixth, seventh and eighth innings, the visi- tors scored one run at a time, giving them a one run lead. With the supporters of the locals the | cheering frantically, Captain Kenney landed on the pill and worked his way to third on a stolen base and an error. Dolan was called upon to | act &s pinch hitter and Ty Cobb never responded any better. The first ben- der served by Connell, was to the bat- ter's liking, and he whaled it out in the garden for two sacks, scoring his captain and tying the score. Dolan, was not content with this, however, for he immediately purloined the dizzy sack, and when Cootch let a ball get past him, Dolan dashed across the platter with the winning run, amid thunderous applause.

Through- aut the three vears' achievement the mighty German people has become firm in its resistance against all that the power of the enemy can conceive If the enemy wishes to prolong the sufferings of war they will weigh more heavily on him than upon us. “For that which has been accom- plished on the front let us show our gratitude by tireless tail. We must still continue to fight and to furnish arms for it. But our people may rest assured that German blood and Ger- man zeal are not being gambled with for any empty shadow of ambition or schemes of conquest or subjugation, but in defense af a strong, free em- pire in which our children may live in security. “Let all our actions and all our thoughts be devoted to this fight.

Trailing to the half in the third heat, Busy's Las- sie rushed to the front and trotted the final quarter in 20 3-4 seconds, shaking off all opposition and winning in 2:05 1-4. Busy's Lassie was marked at odds of $225 to $100 in the betting. UMPIRE JOHNSTONE OUT.
