We_have taken only German cows.” “And the Colonel agreed that he could not interefere with the taking of cows that had become German by the passing of the German army. So the poor peasants had their houses and barns burned and their stock taken by the Germans, and then if anything remained it was taken by the Russians on the ground they were taking what had been in the hands of the. Germans. “Our place. is now about ten Eng- Nsh miles from the fighting line, and is.a vast:.camp. The artillery is parked all iover the grounds and sent forward as' reserves are called for.

Started Rise From Cellar July 17th— Dodgers Look Good. The Braves, who, on July 17 started their rise from the cellar, are now undisputed holders of the third place in the Natlonal league. The team is headed by Brooklyn and Philadelphia. On July 29, last year, the Braves were 11 games behind the leaders— the New Yorks. The team was in fourth place, with Chicago second and St. Louis third. Philadelphia was in sixth place. While Mr. Stallings was late in starting his sprint he has a rauch better lead at this time this season than he had last year at tne same time. Of course it must Le ad- mit'ed that Stallings is up agains the real thing in Mr. Moran of the Phillfes, and has got to keep steam up-all the time. Taking Iato consid- eration that there are many ups and downs in baseball 'and tbat Moran's outfit is just as Mable to slump as they are to keep up the pace, while the Dodgers are only a little better than a four to one shot, it may be reasonable to expect the Braves to climb even nearer the top, while the team yet has at least one chance out o _four of copping the flag. ‘Wilbur Robinson, former with the Glants, has certalnly got his aggre- gation’ going at top speed and his making a very stroug bid to land in, pennantville, D.

In the second heat Peter Scott led to'within a hundred yards of the finish. Then Andrews, who had held Lee Axworthy back in the bunch, came with a rush.and in nosing out another win, broke'the old stake rec- ord of 2.051-2. Shuler, owner of Peter McCormick, dissatisfled with his he showing in the first two heats, displaced Val- entine in the third start and led the fleld to the three-guarter pole. The pace was too swift, however, and Andrews and Murphy again drew away another thrilling finish, the son of Guy Axworthy winning by about the same margin as in the other heats. B. F.

The games scheduled Sunday promise to be of unusual in- terest, as they bear much on the standing of the clubs. Manager Troland of the Warrjors has resigned and the club has appoint- ed Joe Hughes in his place. Hughes is a brother of Manager Hughes of the famous All Stars and has the earmarks orado Range after three heals.

There Was Less Extravagant Specu- lation in War- lssues, New York, July 30.—Trading in the stock market today was erized Dby less extravagant speculation in war issues. = Yesterday’s strong reaction caused traders to proceed more cau- tiously and the outside demand fell offt. The instability of these stocks at the high level established on the week's bulge was shown by their er- retic fluctuations today. For the most part they held under the high records made yesterday. Nevertheless they re- tained the greater part of their recent large gains. The volume of business diminished from the exceptional fig- ures of the two preceding _days, amounting to 850,000 shares. At the opening efforts to resume the upwarq movement met with temporary success. On the early rise there were gains of six points in Bethlehem Steel, 8 1-2 in Crucible Steel, 9 in Ameri- can Coal Products and 3 or 4 points in Republic Steel, Allis-Chalmers, Westinghouse Eilectric and others. The changed attitude toward these shares, however, was shown quickly. Large offerings were made at the high fig- ures and there was a reaction.

The demand for these stocks increased and under the lead of Reading a number of sub- stantlal advances were achieved. Later there were recessions, especially among the western railroads.

Sacrifice hita, COFFEE ANXIOUS TO MEET JESS WILLARD. Says Gibson, the Dublin Giant's Man- ager. A very original explanation of Jim Coffey’s failure to lull old Jim Flynn to slecp is submitted by Manager Gib- son. “During the last six months,” says Gibson, “Coffey has grown one inch and has taken on ten pounds. Just prior to the Flynn match he was growing so fast that he was weak and I had to call in a physiclan to attend him on several occasions.” Gibson also wants to have it under- stood that Coffey has lost none of his ambition to meet Jess Willard for ten rounds. “I am ready and willing to guarantee Willard $30,000 for his end, also a large share of the motion pic- ture profits, if he will get into the same Ting with Coffey this fall” Gib- son declares.. “Willard will _ either have to box Coffey in a no decision contest in which his title is not at stake g0 far as & decision is concerned some Very good reason why he refus- es_the small fortune of $30,000. “One thing I want to impress public with, is is this: The big Irish- man is not afraid of the present champlon or any other white heavy- weight, and he is more than satisfled to take upon himself the entire gam- ble of victory or defeat in a match with Williard.” Willard Wants Big Guarantee. From this it would seem that Coffey is in some doubt as to whether Wil- lard is anxious to battle. Strangely enough Willard appears to entertain a similar suspicion in regard to Cof- fey’s intentions. He sets forth his views regarding his next match as follows: “I am willing to fight when a suitable offer is made, but where am I going to find an opponent? The only one in sight now is Jim Coffey, but_it is evident that the promotors do ont think much of him as a draw- ing card, judging by the offers re- celved. In every case I am asked to box on a percentage basis. When & club comes forward with a guaran- tee of $30,000 no time:'will be lost in signing articles.” While Coffey ond Willard undoubt- edly would draw well, 330,000 is a lot~ of money for these troublesome times. . Probably when both men de- cide to'be serious they will accept the most likely percentage offer or a guarantee more within reason. Even Jack - Johnson never had the assur- ance to insist upon a $30,000 guaran- tee for a mo-decision bout. That was his standard price for a real battle and it was so high that he seldom ob- tained the opportunity to earn it. If Willard means to maintain the $30,000 standard he may as well give up hope of giving ten round exhibi- tlons, as ngpromoter could afford the price and meet his opponent's de- mands s well. It would be interest- ing to hear how Willard would at- tempt to justify his is only one thing that a_match at the The accompanying photograph of Robert Lansing was taken a few days before he was named as secretary of state. It was posed at Hamilton, N. Y., where Colgate university conferred on Mr. Lansing the title of L. L, D. News of his appointment and accept- ance was given out while the presi- dent was preparing to leave for Cornish. N, H, for a short rest. Everywhere in Washington, in di- plomatic circles, among friends of the administration and even among poli- s ticlans, the appointment was received with great pleasure. An odd coinci- dence is connected with the appoint- ment of Mr. Lansing. The last sec- retary ‘of state before Bryan to resign because of a difference with his pres- ident was James G. Blaine, who left President Harrison's cabinet. To fill the place caused by Blaine's resigna- tion John W. Foster was appointed secretary of state. When Bryan re- signed Robert Lansing, son-in-law of John W. Foster, was appointed to fill his place. happened Willard would not be knocked out the promoters would have to depend upon the curiosity of the public to = see the champion in action. However, champions no long- er are a novelty in local rings. Of late a great deal of the respect and homage formely felt for the holder of a title has departed. A few weeks ago the spectacle was seen of a world’s champlon in action with the crowd jamming the aisles on the way out. It was probably the first time in the history of the ring that such a thing happened, but it may not be so uncommon in the future. It indicates that the fight-going public want to see real battles and no longer can be deluded by titles that often mean nothing. Of course, there would be a_great deal of curiosity to see how Willard conducts himseif now that he has reached the top. If Willard and Cof- fey, meet in the fall it will be the first opportunity in many years to see a heavyweight champion in battle. That would count for much, but unless Willard demonstrated something remarkable in the ght- ing line he could not hope to draw $30,000 crowds whenever he decided to draw on the gloves. CHARLIE WHITE AFTER A MATCH WITH WELSH. Hot on the Laurels. Charley White, the Chicago light- ‘weight, is the leading candidate for a match with Freddie Welsh for the championship of the world. He has taken the place of Willie Ritchie, for the holder of the American title has withdrawn to the rocky fastness of retirement and cannot be lured out. No attempt is to be made here to compare the merits of Ritchie and White. The stage is set for the battle between Welsh and his rival from the Windy City. The latter has chal- lenged; the champlon has accepted and a club in Denver is ready to pro- mote the match just as soon as Welch returns from the Panama-Pacific ex- position and signifies his willingness to_return to the roped arena. Welsh 1s slipping toward the brink of oblivion. That, at any rate, is the belief of the boxing enthusiasts throughout the land. Those critics who have watched him during the past half year are convinced that his grip on_the title will not last much longer. Several boys have been named as_opponents for him. These are Johnny Dundee, Jack Britton, Leach Cross, Wilie Ritchie and Charley White. All the afore-mentioned war- riors probably would make existence more than MNvely for Welsh, but the last named, because of his meteoric success during the past half year, is tavored. White defeated Welsh at Brighton Beach on July 3 in ten rounds. At that distance his victory was quite decisive, yet for all that, many be- lieved that in a longer bout White would have blown up. In the tenth round Welsh made quite a spurt, and although he was somewhat outpointed showed better than in some of the Chicagoan Lightweight Trail For the questionably has a most terrific in either hand he apparently lacks the aggressiveness to make this punch worth while. It will be noted, further- more, that a fast hitting, in and out boxer has always given White all manner of trouble, and it is just bare- ly possible that the fans will have to look & bit further in their search for an ideal champion. SLIPPERY TRACK CAUSES n POSTPONEMENT OF M. & M. Other Races on Grand Cirouit Pro- gramme Were Run Off Though. Detroit, Mich., July 29.—Because of the slippery condition of the track at the state falr grounds, the M. & M. $10,000 stake was agaln postponed this afternoon. Owners of horses entered in the stake refused to take chances in the mud. The other races on the Grand Circult programme were run off, however, and they furnished good sport. Geerg won his first race of the week with Guy Neila in the 2.10 trot, The veteran waited an instant too long to make his drive in the first heat and Lulu Lumine beat Guy Nella by a nose. In each of the next three heats Guy Nella lay back about fourth until the stretch was reached, then went to the front. Lizzle Brown held on well in the final heat and Geers took the lead only in the last hundred yards. The 2.11 pace went to five heats. Hal Connor, after breaking twice, won the first heat in impressive fashion. There- after his unsteadiness kept him in trouble all the time and the best he could do was a division of second and third money with Dustless McKinney. Clara Walker finished second in two heats and won the other three. Under the point system. Dustless McKinney, with no firsts, shared in the money ahead of Rex. Heart, winner of the third heat. Tommy Murphy had a good day, winning the unfinished 2.22 pace in straight heats with Jean and driving Peter Farren to a straight heat victory in the 2.15 pace. The latter event was a struggle all the way between Mur- phys horse and Bud Elliott, piloted by Geers, but Peter Farren was a little better at the end of each mile. Weather conditions tonight were more favorable and it seemed probable the M. & M. could be raced tomorrow. Yanks Buy Catcher Alexander. New York, July 30—The New York Americans have purchased the release of Catcher Waiter Alexander from the Kansas City club of the American as- sociation, it was announced by the local club here tonight.
