The well-known dope which ha been
getting It where the thicken got the ax
for the last twelve-months, got It again
In the Thursday nighty performance of
the International Tug-bf-W'ar t the Au
ditorium. s v.
Tho flrpt upaot In the dope occurred
when Germany tackled America. ., Oer
many la one of the favorite, only the
lanea being credited with chance to
teat them out. liut the firemen who
represent America gave the Peutache a
tattle for their money. The pull went
the limit of twenty mlnutea and the
Herman advantage waa only four Inchea.
Peta Loch's crew went Into the tug
with Charley Feter. the wrestler, out
of the lineup. Peter pull In No. I po
aitlon and la the beat man on the rope
excepting Matt Blmmer, who hold! down
the anchor. It probably would have
been a different atory with Petera pull
ing, but the fire laddtea gave the Uer
mana a mighty tussle and muit be given
their due. '
Iriah Battle. Hard.
The aecond upaet came when Phil
Lynch' eons of Erin proved a stumbling
block to the Swedes. It waa figured that
fiweden would yank Ireland the distance
In short order, but Lynch' laddlea
wouldn't have It that way.. The Rwedea
barely pulled the Irish eight Inches in
the limit.
Denmark kept up ita record of "lick
'em In a hurry," by putting the kibosh
on the Scotch-English sextette In the
record-breaking time of ten and three
fifths aeconds. The Bohemian found
Italy fairly easy and won in two min
utes and fifteen seconds.
The pulls last night between Germany
and America and Kwedeu and Ireland
were two of tho best seen during the
tournament. Jack Prince last night do
dared they were two of the best he ever
aw, and Prince has aeea a number of
tug-of-war event.
Klrenif kkntf Improveoueat.
The fireman team which held Germany
last night waa a different team Irom the
one which went down before the Danes
M easily tha first night. Anchorman Car
penter strove mightily in the saddle. It
teemed aa If he could hold a Moi,l en
gine back. Ills work and that of his
mates waa a. vast Improvement over their
previous performances, and tha knights
of tha nozzle are due to be beard from
In the future. The German team, of
course, did not have Its full strength
with Petera out. but that la no discredit
lo liarty'a men.
The IrUh also ahowed great Improve'
ment, although substitutions took much
weight away from Lynch crew. Phli
had a couple vf slight youngsters In his
first two positions and It 'looked aa if
Ireland was booked for a quick defeat
but the alight youngsters were game and
they held tig lit. And Lynch' heavy men
on the end of the rope also held tight
and the Swedes liad to do their best to
win.
Hat Tills Tonlgkl.
Some) hot tilts are expected tonight. The
first match on the program la between
America and Sweden. And this pull
ahould be a corker. The dope favors the
Swedes, but the fire laudlea will make
their presence known, that la certain.
tor rivalry the battle between the
Irian and the Kcotch-Enriwh should be a
warm one. I'lillly Lynch says he'll have
all hi regulars on the Job to lick the
EnglUh, and he mean to do It. Whether
he'll make good remains to be seen.
The other matches tonight will be be
tween Germany and Bohemia and Italy
and Lenmark.
la addition, some excitement la prom
ised by a "freak" pull scheduled tonight
The "Ink splashers" and the "truck man
ipulators" of the Paxton-Qallagher com
pany will lock horns In a pull. The first
mentioned are the cierka In the whole

engagement off Durazzo, Albania,

tered the harbor at full speed.
A the Austrian warship approached

steamship which had put In for repairs
to Ita engine. No warning waa given of
the attack and the assertion la made
that the sailors on board wens fired on,
even after they left the vessel and were
attempting to reach shore.
The Austrian also bombarded and
sank several Italian aalllng boata and
then attacked the encampment of Italian
troops. The fire waa directed poorly,
however, and there were no casualties.
An attempt wa made by the Austrian
to land a detachment of men with In
cendlay bamba to set fire to the custom
warehouse, but an Italian battery pre
vented the landing.
The Italian squadron arrived and opened
fire on the Austrian warships. The Llka,
the flagship of the flotilla, was struck
by a torpedo and sank after Ita magaslne
had been blown up. Most of the crew
of about ICO. Including Commander Vln
cer. were drowned.
The Trlglav waa atruck and then taken
In tow by two of the other destroyers.
They were compelled to abandon It out
side the harbor, however, and It was sunk
by the pursuing Italian squadron.

Were Driven from

TEUTONS THREATEN SALONIKI
LONDON. Jan. 7. According to
official advices from Vienna, the
fighting on the eastern front has de
creased in violence, the Russian;;
having ceased to attack with vigor
between the Prlpet ana the Bessara
lian frontier.
The only gain officially nnnounced
'or tho Rushlans yesterday was at
Czartorysk, the scene of manv san
guinary btruggles, where i rs said
the Austrlans were driven from the
cemetery.
Any advance In this region will
threaten Kovel, one of he strongest
Austro-German positions, ft is believed
that even though no further gain should
be made, Russia' forces hsve attained
a position which will give the nation a
degree of power In Balkan affairs It has
not not had since Its armies were driven
bark from the Carpathians.
The Teutonlo allies still threaten to ex
pel the French and British from their
Macedonian positions, but no forward
move haa been detected thu far In that
direction. Htrong Turkish forces are said
to be concentrating on the Thraclan
frontier of Greece, and It Is suggested
hat the Turks may a; Lump t to make
gcod some of the territorial losses they
suffered during the Balkan war. " '
