There is ilitvy_that a percentage of vts will be given tp war ac- | tivities, although this question has not been settled.

Y. Aug, 22 of the tenn! ars won place: round before the semi-final | tournament that preliminary national «championship on the turf| courts of the Meadow club here to-| day. Theodore R. Pell, famous mas- ter of the backhand stroke, created surprise by defeating his old rival, Dr. William Rosenbaum, 6-1, 6-4. iph H. Burdick the Chicagoan, won a spirited match against Conrad B. Doyle, Washington, D. C., at 6- | 7-5, Vincent Richards, the boy wonder, who holds two national titles, easily out-drove Henry H. Bassford to win at 6-2, 8-6. T. R. Pell, the former national in- door champion; William T. en, 2d, the national clay court title holder, and Robert Lindley Murray, the California meteor, won places in the semi-final round of the singles in the afternoon session on the courts. Pell by his passing shots and steady driving surpassed himeelf by out- manoeuvring Sergeant Harold A. Throckmorton. The score was 6-3, 6-2. Tilden had to fight his way through two three-set matches., The tall Pennsylvanian had to put his en- tire energies into assaults at the net to win against Walter Merrill Hall, the middle states champion, and Ralph H .Burdick, the Chicagoan, in turn. Murray was at the top of his game and played well MAY BIRD BREAKS BAY STATE HALF MILE RECORD. Medford, Mass., Aug. 22—The Bay State icircuit half mile record wos broken during the closing day here at Combination park when the three heats of the 2.10 class were pased in 2.08 1-2, 2.08 3-4 and 2.09.

Chatt of Chicago made a new world's record in the salmon fly event tonight at the opening of the international bait and fly casting tournamet. Chatt made 2 cast of 155 feet, which beats by five feet the record for water bark cast made by C. E. Lindfeger last year, Ashland vs. Putnam. For Sunday’s game on Ashland park between Ashland and Putnam Mana- ger McDermott of Putnam announces his lineup as follows: Barnicle cf, Moulton 2b, J Phillips ¢, Johnson or Cassily rf, Rivard 3b, Melntyre 1b, Cooney or Forsythe ss, T. Phillips If, Girard p. This, lineup is undoubtedly the fast- est that has appeared there this sea- son and Manager Carpenter will have to produce some team to beat it. Nevertheless he says that he has a team that will beat it and beat it good. * Girard pitching for Putnam has been beaten in only one game this season, and that was the last game in Put- nam, when Ashland beat him in 11 innings. He is anxious to wipe out this defeat by beating Ashland Sun- day and says that he has every confi- dence that he can do it. Langford and Johnsor: Fight Draw.

Further mitation of i0ans on all but high class stock exchange collat- eral] was the chief drawback to any operations for the lonz account, cidentally ‘encouraging the short terest to put out fresh lines, In well-informed circles there ap- peared to be a growing conviction that recent credit restrictions si§gested by the Federal Reserve Board ani concurred in by the local clearing house, derived impulse from power- ful financial sources. Pressure was intermittent, converg- ing mainly around rails and popuiar industrials. Canadian Pacific register- ed an extreme setback of 2 1-2 points and U. S.

Again the PBritish have been victo- rious. . The battle north of the Ancre raged all day long, while ten thous- and yards to the south another British force, which crossed the Ancre during the night and opened an at- tack at daybreak was driving stead- ily into the enemy positions on the high ground between Bray_sur-Somme and Albert and already had captured a thousand prisoners. The Germans are retreating from the section between the two points where the British armies are ham- mering them and where they are threatened with being left in a pocket. The town of All>rt is unofficially re- ported to have fallen into the hands of the FBritish, who are pressing the enemy hard. Along the Arras-Albert railway em- bankment and on both sides of it heavy fighting continues. On the northern half of the battle front the British stormed the enemy positions znd captured them, inflict- ing terribie losses on the enemy. They then pushed eastward at various points. They occupied Hamelincourt trench well to the, east of the em- bankment and were reaching out similarily at other points, at the same time beating down desperate attacks launched by the enemy in an effort to regaim his valuahle lost positions. A counter-attack th afternoon north of Courcelles was completely broken down by the British before the Boche gained a single foot of ground despite his evident determination to do s0. The value of the position along the embankment can be readily seen. The country is flat and the railroad runs ajong the top of a high made--to-or- der ridge, which overlooks and con. trels ronsiderable shell-cleaned ground on either side of it. To the south from Achiet-le- Grand to the Ancre, the armies in battle have been sweeping backwards and forwards, attacks and counter- attacks being repeated again and again. PBritith patrols have been in Miraumont, but at the moment it an- pears that the Eritish lines actua'ly are a few hundred vards west of that town in the neighborhood of Reaure- zard and Dovecote. on the road be- tween Miraumont and Puisieux-au- Mont. Word has just been received that the Germans launched another vicious counter-attack against the British po- sition on the outskirts of Miraumont, but after sharp fighting were driven off. In the face of streams of bul. lets from Dblazing machine zuns the German ranks withered or were dis- persed. The British still are west of Achiet- le-Grand, but patrols have been in the town. The hoche counter-attack: here. as well as at Miraument, were carried out by fresh troops which have heen seen rushing toward the front from the rear in an effort to re- lieve General Otto Von Below's har- assed Seventeenth army. At Achiet-le-Grand the -attacks were in such strensth that the Prit- ish retired for a short distance from he outskirts of the town and con. ented themselves for the time beins pouring bullets into tho enem forces, who in their eagerness to something, no matter how small, r ed into the center of the target form- ed by the town. Southwest of Miraumont ish, at latest with t t in the Brit- reports had the enemy his back to the River Ancre. the DBritish Army Auz. -Tanks have well to the front of almost everys fought unde in France been working the men shell-churne hirted, or without uy sround, open | ber garment: the sweat streamin down their half-naked bodies At many places heaps of Germa: dead, mowed down by the British fire, 2y bakirg in the sun, al with th ual a field.

He had his soldies servant with his, but the servant got lost in the mixup and, much to the annoyance of both man and master, they were put in separate cages Incidentally, the German prisoners took occasion to make fun of the Au: trian soldier, but many ef their re- marks showed cleariy their contempt. The Austrian officer said he had teen at this front for a month with a battery of Austrian guns. In re- sponse to ‘questions, he declared that he did not dislike the Germans. “You may think it queer of me, but I managed to get along all right with them,” he remarked. ‘Among other prisoners was a bri- sade commander, who, when captured, was about to telephone back for ar- tillery support. Just at that moment A stocky British soldier put his head in the window and informed the com- mander that he was a prisoner. Later on, after the commander had reached the prisoners’ cage, one by’ one his officers began to arrive at the same place. The commander stood ian the cag at the gate and with a smile and a handshake, welcomed each newcomer.

GERMAN PRESS ADMITS PRESENCE OF U. S. TROOPS Amsterdam, Aug. 22—(By A. P.).— At last the German press has glven up struggling against the .truth. In a short notice, which appears in vir- tually all the papers, the identical na- ture of which suggests official inspir- ation, the reluuctant admission is made that Secretary Baker's figures regarding the strength of the Ameri- can forces in France are about cor- rect. One or two papers add the lame explanation that their former figures were based on the position prior to May and that the really big shipments of men from America began since then. The papers now comfort themselves with the thought that of the 1,300,000 or more Americans, onl 400,000 are actually in battle array, with 800,000 behind the front, and that the re- maining 600,000 are Etappen troops (engineers, railway men and general workers).
