By PERCY THOMAS.
(Staff Correspondent of International
News Se vice.)
LONDON, Oct. 9.—PBelgrade, former
capital of Serbia, 1s reported in dis
p&!t‘ht‘s from Amsterdam to have been
captured by the German and Aus
tro-Hungarian army of invasion,
Battles continue on Serb soil all
along the Danube, Save anc Drina
fronts. |
Tane Serb army, officered by French
and British, and furnished with guns
by the Allies, is vigorousiy contesting
every step of the Teutoni advance.
Dispatches from Beriin and Nish in
dicate that so far only the advance
guards of the opposing armies have
clashed, and that the maln armies
have not yet come to Elrips. Strong
lines of forts have been rnr;‘inuvlmli
by the Serbs under the guidance of
British and French engineers in the!
mountains, and these must be stormed
before the Teutons can advance into |
the interior of Serbia ‘
It is admitted by the Serbian War
Office that the Teutonic armies of
{nvasion have effected five crossings
of the rivers forming the northern and
northwestern boundaries of Serbia,
but the gaining of a foothold on Serb
territory has cost the Germans ;md‘
Serbians severely. |
Berlin reports satisfactory progress |
for the armies of invasion in the Bal
kan theater, while Vienna cl vims that |
Serbian counter attacks were all re
pulsed.
Military experts, In writing of the
great offensive in the Balkans, raise
these questions:
Is the Serbian invasion to be the
counterpart of the German advance
through Belgium?
Is the Austro-German drive toward
Nish, the Serb capital, to afford a
parallel to the case of Brussels?
As was the case with Belgium, stern
resistance is being made by the army
of the Serb kingdom, but in Serbia
every man is a soldier. Belgium is
laced with railway lines and dotted
with towns and cities; Serbla is a
wild moeuntainous country, thinly
populated and already scarred Dby
warfare, There are few railways in
Serbia, and the mountain highways
are narrow, poorly made and usually
impassable by reason of deep mud,
Brussels is a modern city, with a
population of a quarter of a million.
In addition to its twentieth century
buildings, it has many anclent struc
tures, whose history is linked with the
history of the progress of civilization
in Kurope.
Nish is a medieval town, the most
of whose buildings are old, and many
are dilapidated. It is inhabited main
ly by soldiers, The population is less
than 22,000. The Belgian authorities
voluntarily gave up Brussels, but Nish
probably will stand ont to the last.
Bulgars Aiming Blow
Atherbian Riilway
ATHENS, Oct, 9.—Bulgarian caval
ry has been massed at Kustendil for
the invasion of Serbia. These forces
are expected to strike at the Saloniki-
Nish Railway in the vicinity of Ku

The Atlanta Clearing House #ta
timtles for the week ended Saturday
set a new record of gain, showing an
increase in clearings of $6,023,729.45
over those of the same week last
year., A considerable Increase was
shown also over last week.
The cléarings in Atlanta for this
week aggregated $18,886,804.75,
against $12,862,665.30 the same week
last year. In additlon to this, Bat
urday’s clearings alone totaled $3,014,-
005.08, agalnst $2,179,519.81 the cor
rasponding day a year ago, an in
crease of $834,576.22,
During the week there were four
three-milllon-dollar days. With but
a few exceptions, the week's net ag
gregate has never been exceeded.
Local bankers attribute the phe
nomenal increase in clearings to a
trade revival as the result of the pre
valling cold weather and high price
of cotton. With cotton selling around
12 1-4 cents a pound, there I 8 much
enthusiasm among business men and
peopie generally and local retallers
and wholesale men feel that they will
enjoy @ brigk trade this fall The
farmers are harvesting thelr cotton
rapidly and a big portion of it ie be
ing sold as gathered

NATIONAL LEAGUE PARK, PHILADELPHIA, Oc. ¢ —The
Big Series is all square. Boston took the second game this after
noon. 2 to 1, in two hours of hectic striving before 20,606 fans who
were on the verge of hysterics most of the time
To Foster, Boston's grest righthander, belongs the lon's
share for the victory. He pitched grand ball; he was absolutely
unhittable in sll but one inning—and he got three hits, the last
driving over the run that won the game in the ninth inning, when
Erskine Mayer seemed to have all his mates at his merey.
Boston deserved to win. The
Red Sox outhit and outplayed
the National Leaguers; although
Philadelphia put up & wonderful
ly stubborn defense after uui
opening inning, when a misplay
by Burns at the plate allowed
Hooper to score on a double steal
with Speaker, who went out at
second on the same play. Nie
hoff’s return was muffed by the
big eatcher, and the run gave
Boston the needed start.
, Toushed for Ten Mits.
Mayer was touched up for ten hits,
’ three of them by his opponent on the
mound. Only in three innings did the
Hox fall to get on by clean punching,
and in the seventh they wasted three
hits without getting over a run. May -
er was good in all the pinches but
the final erisis. j
Philadelphla's lone run came over
cleanly In the fifth frame. In the flrac
four innings they were turned back '
in order by Foster's grand hurling,
pot & man reaching first. Then In
the ffth, Cravath, first up, doubled
againat the left flald wall and Luder
iuu promptly sent him home with a
resounding wallop to center for two
bases. But Foster was cool under
punishment and by a great recovery
he prevented further scoring, aldad
by & fine catch by Hobby of Niehoff's
line drive. Bancroft's single to cen
ter was the Phillles only other safe
hit of the contest.
Gate Totaled $52,029.
Mayer looked good against the
heavy hitters in the Boston line-up,
and a charge of pinch-hitters in the
seventh falled to damage him, al
though the bases were filled ai one
juncture. It was Foster's hitting that
proved his undoing. One of Foster's
wallops-—his first one—was & double
that went to waste becausc his matea
could not bring him In.
The box office receipts totaled $562,-
029 for the second game of the se
ries.
