4, The Roumanian force that crosi the Da nube and invaded Bulgaria has been forced to withdraw In hasty flight, it was officially announced this afternoon. Attacked on three sides by German id Bulgarian troops, and threatened with envelopment, the Roumanians retreated. The crossing had been made near RJasovo. the Roumanians using transports and pontoon bridges. Teutonic monitors destroyed one of the pontoons, endangering the Roumanians line of supplies.

Meanwhile, Bulgar and German forces approached on both flanks and on the front. Pinned back again-st the river, the Roumanians were threatened with a repetition of the disaster at Tutrakan. where 23,000 Roumanian troops were trapped on the south bank of the-Darrube and captured, while hundreds were drowned trying to swim the river. The German-Bulgar encircling movement thus brought to an end the first invasion of Bulgaria, widely heralded in the Allied press as the beginning of a great cam paign to flank Mackensen oat of Dobrudja. FUSS IS LIKELY TO BE I IGNORED BY OFFICIALS Matter Insignificant, of New Champions of Congratulation.

Says Tener President Flooded With Messages That the players on the New York National League Club did not "lay down" or play dishonest ball in the game which they lost to the Brooklyn Club yesterday at Ebbets Field, and which gave Brooklyn the National League pennant, was the statement made to-day by John B. Foster, secretary of the New York Club. i His statement was based upon what John J. McGraw, manager of the Giants, told Foster. McGraw was queted today as having said he thought his players did not do their best because of their pluck.

The Giants showed they wanted to win by the way they plied up the runs In the first Inning. Both teams were on edge and were nervous. The Glanta gave In first, that was all, end both sides had errors. McOraw's charges are foolish. The strain told on him too much." William tloardman said: "Brooklyn played a clown, fins itarac all season and especially did they play a clean game yesterday.

They won honorably." Calder Disbelieves Charges. "I am indignant." said Mr. Calder. "1 have been a follower of baseball ail my life. Baseball cannot exist, nor could it have existed, all these years, if It were r.ot honest.

I am surprised at McGraw and I disbelieve, his charges." Many others thought the National Baseball Commission. the court of last resort In baseball, made a Treat mistake In not calling McGraw before It on charges nt once. All Insisted the only way to show the fans that such charges ran not be made without comeback is by having McGraw present his evidence, if he has any. call his witnesses and prove- that what he says la right. County Clerk Keilv, speaking on this of tre matter, said: "If baseball Is to live, such statements" as McGraw made should be thoroughly Investigated by the high baseball authorities and where they are groundless th- ono making them should be severely punished.

Baseball has Its own laws, that are capable of disciplining a man in baseball for discredit on the game where he his no grounds to do so." Red Sot Will Knter Worlds Merles as Favorites. Indications were to-day that the Boston Red Sox would enter the world's series Saturday favorites. Some odds were quoted at 10 to 7, others 10 to 9. One fact that influences the odds Is the fact that the Red So open In Boston' However, the series In Boston will be played at Braves Field and the Red Sox will not have the advantage of playing on their own grounds. The Dodgers have played eleven games this year at Braves Field and are more familiar with it than are the Red Sox.

At Kbbets Field the Dodgers will have a decided advantage, for the Red Sox have not played there since before the season opened, when they appeared in an eThlbltlon series against the The Dodgers will entrain for Boston at noon Friday. Monday night it Is planned to have the team leave Boston on a special train within an hour after the game, bringing them Into Brooklyn tn time for a good night's sleep, so that they can be In the best of shape for the opening game at Ebbets Field on Tuesday. In case a fifth game is necessary the teams will leave Immediately after Tuesday's garge, take a special train for Boston, and If a sixth game has to be played the teams win pile aboard a train and return to Brooklyn. In case of a seventh game being necessary to decide the championship a toss of a coin will decide where It Is to be played. While In Boston the Brooklyn players will make their headquarters at the Hotel Brunswick.

The Copley Plaza Hotel wjll the headquarters of the National Commission while in Boston, and the Hotel Boasert will be the headquarters In Brooklyn. In the game yesterday, and the story, which circulated quickly, caused much concern to the baseball world and to Brooklyn fans in particular.

M. to-day. The Improvement was made available for use as the result of the energy of Public Service Commissioner Travis H. Whitney. The connection was made before the agreement between the B.

R. T. and the Interborough as to the expense of maintenance was signed. The Brooklyn Tubllc Service Commissioner managed to get sufficient red tape cut to have the passageway opened. Since the Fourth avenue subway commenced operation efforts have been made to get the connection opened so as to reduce the traffic congestion af the Interborough terminal.

Many thousands of Brooklyn-itcs have been forced to climb stairs at both points and then walk down again to the other trains. The contracts for the Fourth avenue subway provided for tho underground thoroughfare, it was indicated today, but slow headway was made in getting' It opened. For some time there has been a hitch as to the contract between the sruhwav managements. It was stated, as to details.

The BrooUlyriife kept after the matter nnd It was at his Insistence that the passageway was opened without delay. The agreement as to the expense of maintenance understood to be in final form and the railroad officials decided to get the Improvement In shape and have the contracts signed at a later date. The thoroughfare will save many steps twice a day for South Brooklyn travelers who change cars at the Atlantic avenue Btation. nnd wart hailed with much satisfaction to-day.

Brooklyn Fans Wax Indignant, Baa baXJ fans tn Brooklyn were indignant to-day because of the re- rnectlons east upon Brooklyn's' first National League pennant In sixteen years. President Lewlj.H.

Senator; Deputy Controller William Board man, and County Clerk William E. Kelly all said they were Indignant at McOraw-s charges that the Giant players did not play their beet In yesterday's game.

"Brooklyn won the pennant through kthe ability of the players on the Brooklyn Ball Club, not through any lax playing by Ihe Giants. It "is a shame that a man of McGraw' standing- In baseball should allow his temper to get the better of his Judgment. 7 do not believe McGraw has any grounds to base hi, statement on. am glad that Brooklyn won the pennant and the players and the club deserve full This was Mr. Pc unds statement given by Mr.

Palmer. McGraw must have ben on edge when he estd that his players did not play their heat against Brooklyn," said County Clerk Kelly, who saw the game. "The Codgers won the game What McGraw did aay. according to Foster, was that the New Tork players did not play according to hia instructions. McGraw save signals for-rerta'rrr pT -which were not executed according to his orders.

It is inferred from this that Benton 'and Ferritt. who came in for the toulk or the blame, did not pitch certain balls to certain batters, as McGraw had instructed them to do. But that batters can some times hit mv kind of pitching roes without savins, and many believe McGraw had no cause to make the statement he did. i t'ntil noon tc-day McGraw had rot put in appearance at any of the places where baseball men and writers gather He had not shown Bp at the Giants' office In the Fifth 'Avenue Building. Manhattan Secretary Foster said he was at home and had left instructions he was not to be bothered.

After the game yesterday McGraw fir? vni men the facts upon which were based the stories that McGraw had said the Giant nirir. did do their best against the Dodgers That McGraw was misquoted, or that a different construction was placed upon his statement was the belief to-day of Secretary Foster: of President John TC. Tener. of the National League: Ban Johnson, president of the American Learner Garry Hermann, chairman of the National Baseball Commission, and several owners of Major league clubs who are In the city. Xo Action Contemplated.

Tt was dented by each member of the National Commission, Tener. Harrmarm, and Johnson, that the commission contemplated calling McGraw before the body and asking" him to explain. President Tener said fha matter was. Insignificant and the story had been worked up without regard to the truth. Garry Herrmann aid tfcere-waa no cao for the commission to deal with and consequently there would be no instating to look Icto the charges.

President Harry X. Hempatead of the New Tork Club could not located to-day and it could not be learned whether McGraw was to receive a bonus for finishing In third place or better. Coder such circumstances It would be natural for McGraw to feel aor over losing- a chance to finish third. But that he would accuse his players of being 'dishonest' or of "laying; down" seemed foolish to all men connected with the game. Charles H.

Ebbeta. president of the Brooklyn Club, said toe did not think McGraw made such a charge. He refused to have anything to say about the matter until he was bt-iter Informed a to the facts. "Itffle." Says. John B.
