CLOSE RACE FOR
 DESERT PENNANT
Fl Centro Ties HoItviIIe---Im- periaI Loses to
 BrawIey

The race for the Desert Baseball championship becomes more exciting as the season progresses. Imperial now in the lead, has recently been weakened by the loss of some of her players and is by no means sure thing for the top place. Brawley whose percentage is the lowest, is playing the fastest ball of any of the teams and took the leaders into camp without difficulty last Sunday. It is anybody's race and the figures are close enough so that they are likely to be entirely changed merely by the playing off of the four tie games.
 Tie Game With i1oItvilIe.
 El Centro played a four to four tie game with Holtville Sunday. Brown ing for Holtville was not in good form and was hit hard throughout the game. Trippet, on the other hand, pitched splendidly and with any reasonable kind of support would have won his game. Mcclellan, although badly in- jured, pluckily played the game, but because of his crippled condition he could not play effectively. The out field was worse than useless. Atkin- son let in two runs by missing an easy fly in center. Fleckenstein threw away one run and possibly more by stupid base running, and Hire also de- prived El Centro of a run. Trippet Goldthwaite and Harkius almost won the game in spite of these misplays, but could only succeed in getting a tie.
 BrawIey Splits Even.
 Imperial had no chance to win at Brawley Sunday. Scott pitched well, but Cummings for Brawley made two long hits which produced six runs and gave the northern team a lead which could not be overcome.
 SraWley at Caexico.
 At CaleXico Saturday Brawley was defeated by the former team, 10 to 2. The Brawley boys had an off day, making many errors in the field and being unable to hit to advantage, while CaleXico found Phillips at times.

NIGHT TELEPHONE RATE.

Hereafter Will Apply to Hours Be
tween 10 p. m. and Z .. m.
The New England Telephone 4 Teie-
graph Co. has annouced that on and after
February l the night rate for toll
service will apply between the hours Of 10
p. m. and 1 .. m. instead Of between p.
m. and 9 .. m.
An Official Of the company says: ''This
change is necessary on account OF the
practice which has grown up Of deferring
calls. which would ordinarily be made
through the day, until after p. m, when
the night rate goes into effect. The result
OF this practice has been to crowd . very
large number Of calls into short space Of
time Immediately after 8 p. m. The effect
OF this congestion of traffic is to place
such a strain on the plant and operating
force that necessarily a large number OF
calls are lost or delayed.
1.-The original object OF the night rate
WAS to attract toll business at a time when
the lines were not being used TO any great
extent and when, consequently, the oper-
sting force could handle more calls. The
result has been that the general practice
OF deferring calls until after 6 O'Clock has
overcrowded the lines and necessitsted
the employment of largely increased
operating force which can be utilized
only during rush hours. As q matter
OF fact, in some exchanges the number OF
calls handled during the early evening
hours is 20 per cent. greater than during
the busiest hours OF the morning. The
effect of this congestion, together with
the added difficulty of getting efficient
operators for night work. is bound to
have detrimental effect on the service.
'sThere is no comparison between the
night rates for telephone and telegraph
service, because telegraph messages are
flied at any time for night transmission
upon the agreement that they are to be
sent at the convenience OF the company
and are not to be delivered until the next
day.
"a telephone message, however, requires
facilities for immediate transmission. For
immediate transmission and delivery the
telegraph companies always charge the
1aM day rate, no matter at what time Of
the day or night the message 10 filed.
''The company believes that this change
will take . severe and unnecessary strain
Oh the plant and operating force by cut
ting out the rush hours and distributing
the trafiic more evenly throughout the
day; and that for the same reason it will
greatly improve the efficiency of the ser
