Shibe Park, Philadelpliia, Oct. 10. In one of the most remarkable games In th history of world's fories, the Boston Braves Took their second Ban. a from the Athletics this afternoon. Their victory was due to the mas terly pitching of Bill James. He hell the plugging .Mackian forces to two hits, disposed of them in order up to the ninth inning, and with four men facing him in the. ninth, only 2S men took ' their places before him at the plat e. Kcldie Plank, the Gettysburg veteran, opposing James, pitched almost as bril liantly. Plank was touched for seven hits but he kept them widely scattered. It was Peal, the Braves' substitute third baseman, who, delivered the blow which really worked Plank's undoing. Five times previously during the two games Deal had opportunities to drive in Boston runs but failed ingloriously. Wo Longer WeaJtest Spot. He was regarded as the weaiost spot In the Braves' line-up. "With one out in the ninth, Oeal'drove a double to deep renter. He then stole third and scored on Mann's single. Thia hit was another tribute to the strate gy of Stallings, the miracle man. Fol lowing his usual srheme of switching his outfield for a left handed pitcher, Mailings sent Mann to right field in place of Moran. Hln move w;fs vindicated when Mann delivered the swat that drove In the winning run. The extent to which th; Athletic batters have been at tho mercy of the Braves' pitchers was shown by the fact that they huve made even hits in two days. Hehan.q; doubled in the sixth Inning1 today, but was immediately .out attempting to steal third. Collins beat out an In field hit to Kvers, which represents the entire efforts of the heretofore dreaded Mack artillery at the bat. It appeared for a moment in the ninth inning today that James was weakening after the masterful way in which he had handled the Athletics. He walked Barry. This whs his sec ond base on balls of the 'game, as he had passed Murphy, the first man up in the initial inning. After Schang fantied, Walsh also was walked, but a double play eliminated any chance of me Athletics tieing up the score. James whiffed eight of the Athletics' sluggers, putting Mclnnes, Strunk, Oldrin- and Schang on his list. Mc lnnes and Strunk fanned twice, and Oldring's fanning was his third of the series. James Whiffed Every Tim. Plank struck out ssix men. James, his opponent in this great pitcher's baUle, struck out every time he came to" the plate. Plank gave four bases on halls and it appeared for a time in the sixth inning that he was about to blow th game. He hit Schmidt with a slow one. "Butch" was not per mitted to take lis base and then flied to Murphy for the second out. Gowdy then walked, Plank apparently having lost control completely. He hit Mar anville and there were two men on bases. Deal again failed to come through, however, and forced Gowdy at third. ' One of the most remarkable plays ' of the game was pulled off by Barry and Mclnnes in the eighth inning Cathers hit a wicked roller straight toward second, which Barry came in for, stabbed JLt and,, by a lightning like throw, shot It to Mclnnes.

"The Great Battle." as the struggle in northern France is now regularly referred to in all official communications, was progressing sat isfactorily, from the allies' standpoint, it was announced in the. Bordeaux war j office's usual statement, received here I at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

"We have maintained our positions ull along the line in the face of vigor ous attacks by the enemy, particular ly on our left, in the region of Arm entieres, Cassel and La Basse. "North of the Oise we have gained several advantageous positions. "The fullest utilization of our cavalry is impossible because of the rough nature of the ground.

Antwerp has surrendered. The Germans have entered it. It is burning in many places. Two-thirds of the city has been wrecked by the bombardment. The Belgians hold only a few isolated forts of the inner ring. They were firing in a desultory manner at latest accounts. The Belgian legation here had not, indeed, received official notification of the surrender up to noon today and officials there said they doubted it. The- information, however, was from too many reliable sources and in too much detail to be seriously questioned. Before the city's fall two thirds of its population a.d practically the whole of its garrison had evacuated it. The burgomaster and military com mander had decided further sacrifices were useless.

A Russian battery was retir ing near Iemberg when one of the gunners saw the baby crawling from the doorway of one of the houses right tn front of the guns. Without hesitat ing a moment he dismounted and rushed to pick up the child, which was crowing with delight at the sight of the gaU loping horses. Just as the gunner reached the Infant a shell burst over head. The Russian threw him self on the gTound and shielded the little one with his own body. A fragment of the shell struck him in the spine and prevented him arising. Two of his comrades sprang to his assistance and arried , him, with his little protege, to the battery amidst a storm of Aus trian bullets.
