NORTHWEST OF VERDUN
London, March 21—Heavy bat
tles a-re now raging in the district
northwest of Verdun. Each side is
putting the best that is in them
in the conflict. One or the other
will have to give way. The losss
on both sides is appalling. The de
fense have settled in their trenches
and are using rapid fire guns to
grt&t advantage. The offensive
maneuvers have been impressingly
' atrngetic.

men on a cleverly maneuvered
charge against the Germans. They

TO BE FLOATED
Cincinnati, March 21—The meet
ing of prominent sporting men
from various cities f *.ho middle
west to organize the new National
Amateirr Baseball Federation, op
ened with a display of enthu-,
siaem. Love of baseball for its'
own salie and not for the filthy
lucre is the spirit of the meeting. ;
Many big cities are missing from
the lineup, preferring to wait un
til the new platform is written.. The
old organization of amateur 'base
ball clubs will continue, despite the
breach that resulted in the new
federation. Somei amateurs charge
that the split is the result of
sporting goods men mixing in and
running the amateur orgaization.
