Aug. I.—Pitcher A 1 De maree. of the Chicago Nationals, was traded yesterday to the New York Nationals for Peter Kilduff. a recruit inflelder, purchased from Omaha last fall. In securing Demaree the Giants are bringing back the pitcher who greatly helped them in winning the National League pennant in 1913. Dem aree joined McGraw in 1912 and after his success during 1913 he had a bad year in 1914 and that winter was traded to the Phils along with Stock and Adams for Hans Lobert. Demar ee's pitching for Moran in 1915. when he stepped into the breach when Ers kine Mayer collapsed, held up Alex ander and Rixey and was a big facto r in enabling the Phils to win the pennant. Last summer A 1 pitched i n and out ball and when Manager Mitchell, of the Cubs, offered Lavender for Demaree, the offer was snapped up. It was said that Demaree want ed to play in Chicago and Insisted in being traded, but Moran really wan ted to swap him and was willing to talk business with Mitchell as soon a s soon as he offered Lavender.

I.—Boston took the lead in the American League race yesterday, defeating Chicago. 5 to 2. Cicotte, Chicago's star pitcher, was hit hard, and the game was virtually decided in the first inning, Whan Hooper made a freak home run with two on bases. Hooper's hit was down the rightfield line. The ball struck J. Collins' glove and glanced into the rightfield bleachers. Boston's fourth run was made on doubles by Lewis and Leonard, and the final run was pushed over in the seventh on a single, a sacrifice, an in field out and a single. Leonard pitched good ball after the first in ning. Lewis'was the hitting star of the victors with three hits, one a double, out of four times at bat. Every Bos ton player made at least one hit Phillies Break Even in Doubleheader at St Louis St. Louis. Mo., Aug. I.—Had Pat Moran asked Grover C. Alexander to perform the iron man stunt, the Phil lies probably would be in second place to-day. Pat didn't and an even break with the Cardinals was the result It was 4-0 for Grover in the first game and 4-2 for the Caids in the second with the breaks going against Chief Bender. As Alexander pitched ten rounds last Saturday. Moran probably figured that two games with a rest of but two days would be asking too much, so he allowed Grov.r to rest after scor ing his triumph. With the Giants winning two from* the tail-end Pi rates. they increased their lead to nine full gan e3 on the second-place club. Som, 7,500 liot-weather fans attended. Triple Play Is Feature in Boston-Chicago Game Chicago, Aug. I.—Boston and Chi cago divided a doubleheader yester day. Chicago winning the first game 9 to 6 and losing the second 1 to 8. The second game furnished a triple play in the second inning. Williams was on second and Zeider on first. W'ortman lined to Fitzpatrick, who threw to Konetchy, doubling Zeider. Before Williams could return to sec ond base. Konetchy threw to Rawl ings for the third out. Carter was driven from the box in the first Inning of the second game, after Boston had taken a four-run lead. Maranville was ordered out of the first game by Umpire Bransfield for disputing a decision. ROWK GOES TO HAGERSTOWX Marysville, Pa., Aug. I.—William ("Red") Rqwe, star catcher of the local Dauphin-Perry League team, has signed to play the remainder of the esaon with the Hagerstown, Md. Blue Ridge League te&ui. HARRISBURG OMMfc TELEGRAPH LOCAL TENNIS TOURNEY STARTS Popular Annual Event Will Be Big Feature at the Beservoir Park Courts With favorable -weather Harris burg tennis stars expected to make an auspicious start this afternoon In the patriotic tennis tournament. It is the annual event and held under the direction of the Harrlsburg Ten nis Association. Every effort Is be ing made to make this contest at tractive. All matches will be played on Reservoir courts. Due to the fact that many local stars have enlisted and others are members of national guard units, the entry list is not as large as dur ing former seasons. Local players have been meeting teams in outside towns and in this way aroused much Interest, but enlistments affect other cities. Many Local Stars Among the local stars will be Billy McCreath, who has won several city championships; Charles Pollock, James Jackson, Glenwood Beard, Robert Shrelner, Charles Koons, A. S. Black, John Kunkel and Edward Clark. Miss Katherlne Sweeney, Mrs. Chris Sauers, Mrs. John Runkel and Miss Mildred Sheesley will compete for honors in women's events. From outside of the 'city W. R. Shearer, of Carlisle, will be one of the contestants. Middletown will have several good playei'3 on hand. Announcement was made to-day that preliminary rounds must be played off by to-morrow evening or matches will be forfeited, while the first round In all events must be off by the end of the week. It has been announced. Contestants are requested to get In communication with each other at once and arrange to play off their matches in accordance with these rulings of the tournament committee. During the progress of the tourna ment match play will have prece dence on certain of the courts, as has been customary in former years, and an arrangement to this effect has been made with the Park De partment. Courts will be assigned by and all scores must be turned in to Courtkeeper Yogler. I&OAtJIyCLII e>u/nvhuyuj jj SCORES OF YESTERDAY National League Philadelphia, 6; St. Louis, 0 (first game).

SPORTLIGHT FO RAUGUST THREE YEARS AGO TO-DAY Three years ago to-day A sudden shadow came by land and sea; But all the groping millions went their way. Or smiled and whispered, "It could never be"; And they were right—for who was so insane To think the world could turn to blood and tears, The world that knew the sunlight and the rain And all the golden visions oj/the years? . Three years ago to-day The shadow was no longer than your hand; And so from ail the wondering array How could it be that one might understand? Yes. they were right—the shadow soon must pass, , For blood was still too dear a thing to flow Like mighty rivers gushing in one mass To fill vast oceans waiting down below. Three years ago to-day Five million men were living, where to-night Gray ghosts are groping from the shell-swept way To find their peace beyond the bitter fight; Kiv million men were living—who hava died. And who must bide their time in unknown graves, Because a mad king was not satisfied To sit content with eighty million slaves. THE NEXT UPHEAVAL Unless we have slipped a calendaric cog, Jess Willard gathered in hi 3 title two years ago last April. Since that time, a matter of nearly two years and a half, the champion has exhibited his wares in exactly and precisely one ten-round affair, last ing exactly and precisely thirty minutes, so far as actual sparring was concerned. Willard was not a kid, even then. He hasn't grown any younger since. And while there have been various and sundry attempts leading to an out break, not even the most thick skinned of all the promoters could quite go that far. The rival material at hand as an antidote. First mention was made of Jack Dillon. Then it was Carpentier; then Fred Fulton and then Carl Morris. But the expected demand from the public failed to develop. The at titude of the public was.one of growing calmness. But the signs are now ripe that Mr. Willard would desire at least one more personal encounter at so much per encount. And there is a hazy rumor afloat that a Mr Morris and a Mr Fulton will be booked for one more jamboree, the winner again to test the public demand for a Willard battle. There were times when it would have worked, and worked with abandon. But just at present there is a fight under way 3,000 miles distant which is occupying most of the public mind and which by a great man is still considered as a trifle more important than a test of Willard's punch. So the heavyweight schedule for the moment stands but little chance of being sent through. A CALL FOR AX EXPLANATION "Can you explain to me," queries R. R. J., "why football, tennis, golf, etc., have all given so many voluntary recruits to the army and navy where professional baseball has sent only one man?" We can only give the player s side of it, as outlined by the player himself. A majority of the ball players are married, with dependent families, and no great amount of money saved up And they know they have only a few years at best to carry on their profession. Those who play football, tennis, golf, etc., are playing their games for sport. Those who play baseball are playing for a living. Baseball in this respect can't be treated as a sport, but as any other profession. The average of voluntary enlistments by the younger, unmarried play ers should have been far higher than it is. But there is at least a very good excuse for the married majority. ARMY LIFE AND SPORTING SKILL How will army life affect sporting skill? No one can tell yet, as no test has been made. Two or three years' service would undoubtedly lower the average stand ard heavily. The younger entries might get going again in tennis, golf and even baseball after two or three years' service. But most of them would lose far more of their skill than they could ever hope to get back again in a more peaceful age. GOLF MAXIM He who hooks one out of bounds Will often 6ay far more than "sounds." "Siam enters war against Germany." Or, in the words of the ancient ditty—"Every little bit helps."

WELLY'S If CORNER This was the day set for the open ing of the Hassett Boys' Club camp at Marsh Run. Just because it rained was no barrier. These athletes know what bad weather is and they never stop. During the camp there will be some interesting sport. Under the direction of the tour nament committee of the Harrlsburg Association, the annual matches at Reservoir Park courts were scheduled to start this after- T , hose tn charge have been whn malte tllis a big success. While there appears to be less in terest than a year ago, participants promise interesting competition. Gettysburg club owners will auc tion off their franchise to-night at Hagerstown. The players have been showing good form in spite of finan cial troubles and several of the stars have already been sold to major leagues. This should be an induce ment for bidders. The Blue Ridge Is one organization that has been 1 BRITISH BRILLIANTLY FIGHTTHE ENEMY [Continued From First Page.] ter months are Impassable. This for midable natural barrier was rendered still stronger by the inundation of large areas by the release of waters from the canals. The Germans and alllos alike seeking bits of dry land for a footing, swung so far apart in some places that the distance between the lines was nearly three miles. Cut by Canals Below this section, opposing lines followed either bank of the Yser canal and then went on the Ypres salient, face to face, but with the Germans holding the dominating high land about the salient. The Dixmude-Li zerne section of the front is a wil derness of partly-Inundated and de serted farms dotted with pools of biackish water and cut into strange shapes by drainage ditches. There are but few remaining civilian habitations in this No Man's Land. Crumbling cottage walls and an occasional roof less church rise above the flats. Neither side had feared a surprise attack or a trench raid. Since Duke Albrecht's Wurttemberg troops were swallowed up In the flood let loose by opening up the sluicegates in Octo ber, 1914. the enemy had not tried to cross the marshes nor had they tried to get over the Yser since the Belgians, in the spring of 1915. after sanguinary fighting, flung them back across the bridgehead at Lizerne. The Ypres salient itself furnished as nasty a problem as could be pre sented to an attacking army. The country here is saucer-shaped and the Germans had held the lip of this saucer. All the lower-lying land within this dish had been dominated by the enemy, who could send a stream of shell and machine gun fire Into the troops and supply columns advancing across the salient. The situation was rendered more difficult by the presence within the saucer of a large number of water ways that must be crossed by means of bridges, which might at any mo- I ment be destroyed by gunfire. This I difficulty, however, was overcome by a brilliant feat of the British engi neers. who threw seventeen bridges across the waterways in the face of terrific gunfire. Similar and equally remarkable work was done by the French engineers, who were forced to bridge the Yser for their attacks. The Germans little feared, appar ently. that the battle would turn in the direction of their right wing. Warned of Attack It was early in June that rumors of the impending attack began to find their way to German ears and were voiced in Berlin. Gradually the rumors assumed certainty and the Germans began feverishly to strength en their lines, pouring large numbers of fresh forces Into Flanders and bringing up all available guns. The surrounding country was evacuated of civilians and stripped for the con flict. The Germans knew they faced an offensive. They were unable, with all their cunning, to gather more than a fragmentary idea of the story of these preparations, which is In itself a marvelous one. Day after day the building up of new armies continued under cover of a unique concealment in plans. Enormous numbers of great guns 9 showing a fast pace, and It would be a pity to have any team drop out at this stage. Ruxton A. C. will not give up the county championship without a fight. This team has won a big majority of games and has played many contest! out of town and would like to meet all teams claiming the championship. Manager Raymond Kohr, 1908 Greenwood street, may be consulted any time on the plans for a series. If Manager Pat Moran's pitchers get into a winning stride there will be no stopping the Phils until the finish and then they will be at the top ;> Of course there is that little Local teams In the race for cham pionship honors must not overlook th Sixth Ward Casinos. That team is a Harrlsburg organization and the only aggregation of colored stars In the game.

Millions of shells which are to-day turning the Uerman front into an inferno of death and destruction were brought up and stored while the enemy watched with unseeing eyes. Long lines of the dreaded tanks took the road and the living monsters crawled clumsily but persistently northward to take their place in the allied battle line. Stream*of Wounded Clearing stations were established at vantage points and everything pos sible was done to care for the stream ol wounded which was sure to result. The Germans were like a man who waits with tense muscles in the dark for the attack of an unseen foe, know ing the onslaught must come, but ignorant of the moment or nature of it. Thoroughness of preparation is one striking characteristic of the British method and it is safe to say that there is no one man but had rehearsed the part -he was to play in the opening stage of the great conflict.
