Waivers Asked
on Star Pitchers
of the Athletics
BT ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Philadelphia. Pa., Oct. 81. Connie
Mack, manager of the Philadelphia
Athletics, announced today that he had
asked waivers on Pitcher Bender.
Plank and Coombs.
'I would not have bmcm for waivers
at this time, but for the fact that onfc
of them told me he had been dickering
with the federal league," Connie Mack
said.
The Philadelphia manaerer added
that one of the pitchers had informed
him of receipt of an offer from the
Federal league which was so Targe
that he did not think the local man
agement would- meet it. He would
not disclose the name of the pitcher
to whom the offer" ad ween made.
The., three, pitchers have played
prominent parts in world's series base
ball games. "
Plank, acknowledged as one. of the
greatest left handed pitchers, Joined
the Athletics in 1901 and figured in the
winning of slic American league pen
nants.. . ins. . Best, performance in a
world's series was 1913 when he won
from the " New York Giants, allowing
the National leaguers, two hits in the
final game. .
Bender Joined the team In 1902. lie
won games In all of the world's series
games except in the series with the
Boston Nationals this year.
Coon as has not pitched much for
two years. He was injured in a world's
series game In New York in 1911. lie
has a record of winning a 24-lnning
game against the 'Boston Americans.
Ccombs earned the title of "Iron Man
m pitching the Athletics to three vic
tories against the Chicago Cubs in the
world's series of 1910.
The waiver on him caused no sur-
prlst here, but that "Mack would let
"Bender and Plank go was unexpected.

Paris, Oct. - 31. Only a few French
papers discuss the Black sea incident
and their attitude is calm' and patient
while awaiting further developments.
Incidentally it is noted that A. P.
Iswolsky, the Russian ambassador to
France and Theophlle Delcasse. the
French foreign minister at ; Bordeaux,
have formally discussed the event.
The Figaro declares that Germany

The Petit Parisien says that first of

leans and Houston. This picture
Is the talk of the entire south.
and it is again reported . that the in
vaders have evacuated Ostend. These
rumors, however, are not confirmed
from Berlin; which "claims, some ad
vance along the Ypres line.
The city of Lille Is declared, in-spe
cial dispatches again to be free of
German troops, and its hopeful citi
zens - are so confident that the Ger
mans ; never will return that plajis
are being made to resume the usual
civic functions. :
That Germany ' has by no meaas
given up its determination to take Ca
lais is indicated by the significant re
port.' from Berlin, by way of Copen
hagen,. that the German general staff
has decided that the army in Poland
shall fall back to the frontier of Si
lesia and remain there on the defen
sive until the battle in Flanders ends
with the capture of Calais. Such a
movement would release three or four
army corps to be transferred from Si
lesia to Belgium.
The Russian tactics of. bending back
the line , of Invaders , in Russian Po
land, one section at a time, the re
treat of each section endangering the
position of - the section next to It on
the south, appears to London observ
ers to. have been successful every
where, except on the extreme Russian
left, where the Austrians still main
tain " the . positions they succeeded in
retaking from the Russians. Along the
frontier, of East Prussia the Germans
are fighting stubbornly to prevent an
other invasion of their territory at a
point further south. It. is argued here
that - the - Russians cannot - expect - to
assume a full, offensive movement un
til the Austrians are driven back from
the river San.'- But even this would
not " mean any immediate invasion of
Germany as it is known that the Ger
mans in preparation for a possible retirement-
have established heavily en
trenched positions along the river
Warthe. ...'-;'.'.
Speculation as to the effects " of the
position taken by Turkey varies wide
ly. In some quarters it is argued even
that the acts of the former German
cruisers Goeben and Breslau will he
disavowed by the Porte, but the well
authorized news of the departure rf
the Russian ambassador from Con
stantinople seems to commit .Turkey
beyond recall. Delayed telegrams from
Constantinople Indicated as late .is
last Wednesday that the British am
bassador there had received assur
ances that Turkey was determined to
preserve her neutrality.
The action of the Balkan states in
this phase of the crisis is awaited
here with keen Interest. Greece is
expected immediately to throw in her
lot with the entente powers, Great
Britain, Russia and - France, and it
is felt here lat Rumania probably
will follow the same course. But Bul
garia which recently regained much of
the prestige lost In the. second Balkan
war, preserves a stubborn silence. Re
venge would Impel her to an alliance
with the Turks but Sofia seems de
termined to maintain neutrality un
less the borders of Bulgaria ' are
crossed.:
Roman newspapers aver . that with
Turkey in the arena, the . conflict Is
no longer European, but Mediterranean
in scope. It therefore threatens Italy's
interests in North Africa and raises
the century-old question of the con
trol of the Mediterranean, which must
compel the Italian government to In
tervene on the side of the Entente
powers. Italy, : as first step in her
evident determination to' be a factor
in the control of the Adriatic, has
landed an expedition on the Island of
Sazno, which commands the entrance

GERMANY HOLDS OVER 73.000
RUSSIANS AS PRISONERS
Berlin, Oct. 31. (By Wireless) An
official announcement given out In VI
enna' says that; the total number of
Russian prisoners interned in Austria
and Hungary on October 28 was 649
officers and 73,169 men, not counting
those In transit on this date. The
report says further that strong Rus
sian forces have crossed the river San
south of Niske but that they were
repulsed after hard" fighting.
The Russian attacks on the heights
to the west of !Stry and Sambor like
wise have been repulsed. In this n-
gagement, an ammunition depot ex
ploded. .
Austrian forces are pushing forward
on the southern nanK ana gaining
ground. They carried several fortiflcd
positions on the heights to the north
east of Turka, in Gaiicla, 23 miles to
the south of Sambor.
Italian newspaper "Stampa reports
that German troops in East Africa
ha.ve . inflicted ' complete . defeat ; on
troops from the Belgian Congo at a
point near Klssenji.
The London Daily Chronicle says
British- soldiers, during -the looting in
the borough of Deptford, Tondon, to!e
a watch and some rings from a Ger
man jewelry shop. The Chronicle de
clares that this act shames the British
army.
"A correspondent of the Frankfort
Gazette reports that 40,000 civilians
of East Prussia are missing as a re
sult of Russian atrocities.
"In consequence of ill-treatment of
German civilians in England, the Ger
man - general at Altona has declared
that If Great Britain does not liberate
these Germans, all Englishmen in Ger
many fit for military service will Le
arrested.
OFFICIAL REPORT.
Information given out for the press
In official quarters today is as follows:
Military experts of the Berlin news
papers consider that yesterday's dc
velopments around Verdun were of tht
greatest importance, and say there Is
promise of their resumption with re
newed strength. In the fighting south
of Verdun the French are straining
every effort to crush and drive out the
army which at the end of September
penetrated as far as St. Mihiel and
which for a month past has been fight
ing hard to hold the ground gained.
The Germans have now captured he
main position, and their forces are op
erating from the direction . of foul.
The French attack from Pcnt-a-Mons-son
also was without results. Atten
tion can now again be directed to the
original object of this campaign.
"The opening of naval hostilities by
Turkey promises to divert the atten
tion of the Russian forces which have
been campaigning in Poland, where
they were able to concentrate superior
forces against the armies of Germany
and Austria. . . Nothing new has been
reported from Poland.
"Austria announces officially that the
Russian advance against the Austrian
positions in the regions of Turka has
been repulsed. (Turka is in Galacia,
28 miles southwest of Sambor.)
'Special dispatches to newspapers
from the Servian front report that
an entire Servian regiment under Colv
Ivanoff walked into a trap at Visae-
grad. . They had been informed pre
viously that the Servians still occu
pied this place. This was not so, and
the regiment was quickly surrounded
and surrounded without resistance.
"German military authorities deny
as fables almost all the statements re
garding the German 16-inch howitzers
which are being circulated in Ger
many and abroad. The tests of thee
guns began six yy.rs ago and Ger
man artillerymen have been trained
in the use of them for several -years
past. The secret of these guns was
preserved with remarkable success."
NO DECLARATION OF
WAR FROM TURKEY
BT ASSOCIATED PRESS.
London, Oct. 31. The correspondent
of the Morning Post In Petrograd
sends his paper the following:
"The statement published here that
the guns of the cruiser Goeben wcro
turned on the sultan's palace in order
to make him yield to the German de
mand Is probably untrue."
A dispatch to the Central News from
Petrograd says that up to a late h3ur
Friday no declaration of war had been
received from Turkey. Neither the
Russian ambassador nor the Turkish
ambassador has left his post, the
patch says, and it continues:
''Consternation prevails In Constan
tinople and the Turkish ministry is
sitting continuously. The secretary cf
the Turkish embassy in Petrograd
says that he "hopes the misunder
standing will soon be cleared." The
head of - the Moslems in Russia con
demns the folly of Turkey and de
clares that his followers are loyal to
the Russian emperor."
