Emmett the Winner in =
Hair Raising Game
STANDING OF THE CLUBS OF IDAHO
STATE LEAGUE.

In a game that had thrills in
every inning and that kept the
nerves of the 1000 spectators on
edge from the time his jumps cali
ed play until the last man was out,
the Emmett peachpickers defeated
the leaders in the Idaho State
League on Sunday by score Of
3 to 2.
1t was a hair raising battle.
Flushed with a record of never
having been defeated this season.
Nampa entered the contest full of
confidence. and brought over four
coachloads of rooters to see them
add one more trophy to their string
of victories.
In the language of the poet, the
game opened auspiciously. Ford
struck out and his brother got no
farther than first. Herwig singled
and Ralston sent hot one into
center for three bases, scoring Her
wig. McLin died at first Score
1. Nampa scored again in the
fourth.
The Peachpickers hit Bridger
freely, but not until the sixth were
they able to bunch their hits suffi-
ciently to score.
Critics was first up and went TO
first on balls. Higgins sacrificed,
but Critics failed to make connec-
tions. Woody sent three-bagger
through center scoring Higgins
and on Reynolds single Woody
scored. Reynolds stole second and
on a wild throw walked home amid
the widest pandemonium. Score
80. That was the end of the game
so far ss scoring was concerned.
Ford sent .Bridger to the field and
put Kinnear on the firing line, and
the rest of the game was pitchers
battle and both were effective.

Carnlxnl Feafurea,

An automobile parade and a motor boat race are to be features of the Mardi Gras celebration next month in Pensacola. This was arranged by the Carnival Association to i'll in the af- ternoon of the two days of the eele- bration.
 The motorboat race will be between the boats of the Pensacola Yacht Club, about two dozen in number, and will be oyer a course of eleven miles. It Is to be on Monday afternoon, the first day of the celebration and Is to be followed the next day by the auto pa- rade. in which about fifty cars will participate.
 GermaR Boys Desert. Two boys of IS years old each have deserted from the German warship Freya, which marks the first instance where a desertion has been known from a foreign warship in port of the United States.
 The boys, with many others, were given sh ore leave Saturday afternoon, but they did not return at 10 o'clock, as all others did. The officers imnle- diately knew that something was wrong, for, different from the Amri- can seamen. the Germans never over stay their leaves. Sunday the boys were searched for in the city, but could not be found, and the officers called upon the police for assistance. and the latter are now endeavortng to locate the missing boys.
 It is not thought that the missing boys are in the city, but have evidently walked from the city, and officers have beer notified in Mobile and other points to keep a lookout for them.

FavOrs Recommendation.

A large number of citizens today commenting upon the recommendation of Mayor Atkins to the City Council at the meeting last night and which sug- gested the remaining of many of the streets of the city, favor the plan.
 It Is thought that the committee to which this matter was referred will at the next meeting of the Council recOm- mend the change of names of num- ber of streets to avenues as was sug- gested.
 If the names of a great number of the streets of the city are changed it is probable that the city will also be re-numbered. The houses of the city are numbered in a very imperfect way and half of them have no numbers at all.
 It is understood that officials of the Postoffice Department some months ago suggested to the city officials that the city should be re-numbered in systematic manner and 1t Is very likely that thls suggestion will soon be act ed upon.

Pensacola. Fla, Jan. ae.--tSpeeiai.l-- The fact that the fine artillery band stationed at Fort Barrancas, and which has heretofore participated in every Mardi Gras carnival parade in Pensa- cola, has been ordered to go to New orleans for the purpose of marching at the head of the troops. has caused much concern among the members Of the Pensacola Carnival Association. and efforts will be made to have the or ders changed and the big band kept here, though such a change Is hardly probable for the reason that 1t was by resolution of Congress that the band is to make the trip to New Orleans and return.
 It was not known that there was movement on foot to have the band so to New Orleans until dispatches were published stating that Congress had passed a resolution to this effect. q
 Even without the band. however, there will be plenty of music, for the Marine Band of the Navy Yard. and three local bands will be in the parade when King Priscus arrives here.
