ONLY 200 POLICEMEN
FOR BALL GAME DUTY
Superintendent Robinson Re
duces Number From 400 as
Originally Planned
Not moro than 200 policemen will be
assigned to handle tho crowds at the
Phllly park during tho world's series
games in this city. This announcement
was mado today by Superintendent of
Police Ilobtnson. The first number an
nounced several days ago was 400.
The Inference drawn around City Hall
today waa that the superintendent and
other officials did not want the Phila
delphia Club to think they were trying
to get too many men In free. Accord
ingly, the original list was cut down.
When Supelntendent's noblnson's at
tention was called to the discrepancy be
tween today's figures and those first an
nounced, he said that thero was no effort
at retaliation against the club or Its
failure to. sell blocks of seats to the po
lice officials. Ho said he felt certain the
number allotted to the work would be
sufficient to handle the crowds.
The 200 men will be outside and Inside.
In addition, there will ber10 motorcycle
men, mounted men, under eight lieu
tenants and two captalns-Kenney inside
and Tempest outside, A bluecoat will be
atatloned at every1 cross street between
City Hall and Lblgh avenue In .Broad
street. Automobiles will not be permitted
to park on any street but Broad within

Force Way to Serb
Soil at Many Points,
Berlin Officially Announces
Route to Aid Sultan at Darda
nelles Blazed on West and
North Bulgarian, Army Be
lieved Striking Enemy From
the East
BERLIN, Oct. 7.
The great Austro-German Invasion of,
Servla has been launched. The War Of
fice announced today that the Teutonic
forces had crossed the Drina, Danube and
Save nivers In many places.
With this action the long-expected Austro-German
drive through the Balkans to
Constantinople has begun.
Austro-German troops aro In large
force. Crossings were effected at several
points. The Austro-Germans have ob
tained a Arm footing on Servian soil.
' The Austro-Gerpan forces are thus at
tacking the Seibs from tho north and
west. The Savo nnd Danube Rivers form
the northern boundary of Servla, while
the Drina flows along the western
border.
Heavy artillery opened tho way for the
advance ot the Austro-German forces.
For nearly a month tho guns have been
battering the positions of the Servians In
preparation for the advance of tho in
fantry nnd cavalry.
"Austro-German troops have crossed
tho Drina River, the Save River and the
Danubo River at several points," said
the ofllplal statement. "They have ob
tained a firm foothold on the eastern
bank of tho Drina and tho southern
banks of the Danube and Save." .
Bulgarian troops already limcffoased

nevea ncre The ureck .Minister to Sofia
leported only two days' ago that Bul
garia would lnvado Servla when the Aus-tio-Uerman
drive began. No formal dec
laration of war has come from Sofia to
Nlsh, but dispatches from there this
nftcrnoon, relayed In Berlin, declared
Bulgaria expected to be at war within
a few houis.
Announcement that Servla has been In
vaded. on all three river fronts, the Drina,
Danube and Save, indicates that larger
forces have been concentrated against the
Servian frontier than had been intimated
In teccnt dispatches.
For several weeks Austro-German ar
tillery has been conducting an Inter
mittent bombardment of Servian posi
tions on tho south bank of the Danube
near Semendrla, east of Belgrade. The
Aulro-Ucrman nrmles In this region, on
Servla's northern frontier, wero reported
to be commanded by Field Marshal von
Mackensen, who was said to have been
withdrawn from the Russian front to
direct the drlvo through northern Servla
to Bulgaria.
From other sources It was reported that
a second German army was concentrated
on Serbia's western frontier. It Is -this
army, apparently, that has crossed the
Drina.'
Tho Austro-Germans, In all probability,
will strike quickly for tho railway lead
