BRAWLEY LOSES TO
LOCAL PLAYERS
Standing of Clubs.

With a score of A to I, Brawley yes
terday succumbed before the vigorous
onslaught of the local team in one of
the fastest games ever witnessed here.
There was a conspicuous lack of err
rors and the playing throughout the
game was clean cut. Hits were nu-
merous by both teams, spectacular
stops enlivening the game from time
to time.
For the first three innings neither
team was able to. score, Ell Centro
bringing in run in the fourth inn
ing. Brawley's inability to connect
with the opposing pitcher and the con
sistent stick work of the local team
ended the game after the first half
of the ninth inning.

German AaerOplane Raid.

London, Dec. 26.-An attempted
aerial raid on London by German
aeroplane was defeated by the vigi-
lance of the royal flying corps.
A hostile biplane was sighted fly
ing over Sheern-ss harbor yesterday
afternoon, according to the official
announcement of the war office. The
machine was travelling at high speed
from the east directly toward London.
At the rate it was travelling it must
have reached London in less than half
an hour more.
Naval lookouts at Sheerness sight
ed the hostile flying machine at a
great height and British machine
was sent up to intercept it.
A battle in the air followed in
which the British aviator hit the ene-
my's machine three or four times.
After a sharp engagement the raider
was driven eastward over the sea with
the British flyer in pursuit.
The British machine was not pre-
pared for long flight and after
making sure that the German was
making off and that there was no
further danger of his completing his
plans for raid on the capital, the
English aviator returned to Sheer
ness.
London, Dec. 26.-The German avi-
ator who tried to attack the British
naval base at Sheerness yesterday is
believed to have perished. Lighthouse
Keeper Jenish at Knock, on the North
sea, reported today that he saw an
aeroplane fall in the water mile
from his post yesterday. Gunners who
fired upon the German flyer along
the coast think they hit the machine.

NEGRO SHOT FRIDAY
MAY NOT LIVE

Charged with attempt to mur-
der, which may become charge OF
manslaughter if his victim does not
recover, George Shields and woman
whose name has not been learned are
being held at the county Jail while
Harry Henderson lies at St. Thomas
hospital at the point of death. All
are colored. The shooting occurred
yesterday afternoon at 1870 in the
most densely populated center of the
East Side.
Shields, in company with the wom-
an, is said to have quarreled with
Henderson and according to residents
of that district both were under the
influence of dope. The argument be-
came more spirited and, encouraged
by the woman, it is said, Shields drew
a revolver and fired twice at Hen
derson, the first bullet finding lodg-
mcnt in his right breast, passing
through his lung and lodging under
the skin of the back. The second bull
let went wide of it's mark. Testimony
conflicts as to whether Henderson eX-
changed shots with his assailant.
According to witnesses, the two men
left a house and after walking short
distance were joined by the woman,
following an attempt by citizens to
separate the two belligerents. Ap'
pearing on the scene with knife,
they assert, she menaced those who
had attempted to effect peaceable
settlement, at the same time encour-
aging Shields in his attack on Hen
derSon.
After the shots We're fired Shields
fled, closely pursued by the crowd
which had been attracted by the
shooting. Deputies from the sheriff
office left at once for the scene of
the shooting, arriving at the time
Shields gave himself up. The woman
was later taken into custody.
A search at the county Jail disclosed
nearly an ounce of dope, which Shields
had cleverly secreted about his clothes
In a tobacco can the officers found
quantity of the drug and the car
of a fountain pen carried by Shields
had been partially filled. That the
two were under the influence of q
narcotic at the time of the shooting
is the belief of many.
| Henderson has been confined for the
past three weeks on account of seri'
GUS illness, which, it is said, will ma
terially decrease his chance of re,
covery. Physicians this afternoon
were unable to say whether the
wounded man would survive.
