ALL SHOT TO PIECES

MT. Miller, baritone of the DeLegro concert and prospective end man of the minstrel show,
 requests the Press to account for his failure to return to Ell Centro by writing up" an accident at Indio in which he was all shot to pieces. MT. Miller mentions bullets through his legs and arms, incurred Jan. 18th, but relieves anxiety by stating on the 16th that he is improving rapidly. For a man with a bullet through his elbow, Mir.

Miller writes surprisingly well, and the Press thinks he is quite right in deeming himself out of danger. You can't kill a mins- trel with a gun; you have to put him under a pile-driver and pound him ten feet below the bottom of a river.

NO BASEBALL LEAGUE

Match Games for Remainder of Sea-
 son-HoltvilIe Blanks Fl Centro.
 It has been definitely decided that there will be no second league series of baseball games in the valley this winter. The league which was begun in No vember was brought to an end three weeks ago by the with drawal of some of the teams. Fl Centro, having won eight of the nine games, was declared the winner and entitled to the cup. The cup is now being made in Los Angeles and will be exhibited in Fl Centro by next week.
 After the premature ending of the league, negotiations were begun with the idea of playing another league season. It was agreed that a deposit of $50 be made by each club in the Valley State Bank before closing time Saturday. Fl Centro's money was up and that alone. Mana ger Boyd of Holtville was here and ready to make good at 3::30 o'clock. Calexico was ready to disband and had no idea of entering into the deal. Imperial, without manager, also failed to make good and the conditions not being compiled with, the league fell through. Ell Centro will continue to maintain a team and Manager Buttress will arrange a series of match games with teams in and out of the valley.
 The game at Holtville Sunday was a pitchers matched battle, honors being about even. Numerous errors by Fl Centro gave Holtville two runs and the game. With even ordinary support Stanley would have shut out Holtville.
 At Imperial the local team won by a narrow margin from Calexico. After the game Call exico disbanded for the season.
 Manager Buttress of the El Centro team is arranging for a reception and dance for the members of the team and their friends at the formal presenta- tion of the cup on the night of Saturday, Feb. 1.

REPUBLICAN
 PARTY POLITICS
State Convention in Sacra-
 mentO in May
Unofficial Primaries on May 2 to As- certain Choice For Presidential Candidate. Party Test to be Ap- piled at Regular Primary.

The Republican State Central Committee has selected Sacra- mento as the place for the next Republican State Convention for the election of delegates to the national convention, adopted the call for and fixed the date of the convention for May IA. One delegate for each 200 votes, or major fraction, cast for Gov. Gillett is the apportionment fixed by the call, and the convention will consist of 629 delegates. The representation of San Fran cisco was cut down from 159 delegates based upon the vote for President Roosevelt, to sixty seven.
 The following was adopted as the party test, in accordance with the provisions of the law passed at the last Legislature, which will be applicable at the primary election on May 5, for the election of delegates to the State convention:
 n
 T do solemnly pledge myself to vote for and support the nom- inees of the Republican party at the general election to be held in the State of California on Tuesday, November 8, 1908.'
 Heading off a Taft endorse ment, the committee adopted a resolution offered by Gen. George Stone, chairman, calling for an unofficial primary to be held throughout the State on May 2 for the purpose of giving the voters an opportunity to express by ballot their choice for candidate for President at the coming election.
 County committees of the several counties are directed by the State Central Committee to issue calls for this unofficial primary in their respective districts.
 The final result by counties is to be transmitted and certified by the chairman and secretary of the State convention with the recommendation that the dele gates elected by the State con- vention shall be instructed to support the candidate who shall receive the highest number of votes in the State.

departments OF the game-team work,
passing, and skill in tossing baskets.
, The players from Charlottesville seemed
: bewildered by the fast play Of Their OPP

Rice and Crogan. Captain Glenn was
the only Virginia player who could do
anything at all against the Georgetown
guards. He tossed a pretty goal In the
middle of the second half. Fred Rice,

Georgetown
Rice was in the game from start to

George ColIihoNer made the first score
for Georgetown four minutes after play

half, but try as they would they could
not do anything in the scoring. Cap
