NEWSPAPERNTEN RECEIVED
By GENERAL JOFFRE
Bp Associated Prcls

Paris, Nov 80, 5.45 a. ma repre-
sentative of the Havas Agency, to-
gether with a party of Paris news
papermen, has been received by Cen
eral Joffre at his headquarters. This
is the first time since the outbreak of
the war that the commanders chief
has consented to see the press. In de-
scrlbing the possessors and what he
saw there the Havas correspondent
says:
"Th office from which the general
directs operations is in public school
in a small, quiet town. There is no
undue stir or hustle in the little
streets and stranger would never
ssupect the presence in this modest
place of the head of the allied armies.
General Joffre's private office is on
the first floor of the school building.
The correspondents were at once
shown up and as they entered the gen.
eral rose from his desk and stood in
the middle of the room. He was in
undress uniform, with top boots and
tunic, but wore no decorations.
I'VE began to congratulate him re-
spectfully on the military medal con-
ferred on him by President Poincare.
He interrupted hastily.
THAT is of no importance at all.
What matters above everything is to
save the country
THE general pronounced these last
words with such an accen4 that each
of us in his own mind added: And
he will save it.

KITCHENER's LACoNIC HUMoR.

One of the most striking descrip-
tions of Lord Kitchener and his adj
ministrative work in Egypt was that
of G. N. Sarruf Bey, son of the pro-
prietor Of the well-known Cairo ver-
nacular newspaper, AlMokattam,
who, during visit to London a short
time ago, said:
zone has only to so across to the
Agency in Cairo any morning to
understand the hold which Lord Kit
chener has secured over the Egyp-
tians. He is accessible to all. Any
body with a grievance is free to go
and lay it before him. confident of OBJ
tanning O fair and patient hearing. At
the Agency one sees deputations from
the villages, ten or twelve strong,
headed by the mayor and the omdeh,
or elder, who have come in their
best clothes to lay some request be-
fore 'El Lord as the peasants always
call Lord Kitchener"
His grim, laconic humor was well
illustrated by the reply he is said to
have sent on one occasion to the War
Ofice authorities, who were pressing
a certain gun upon him which he did
not want. Keep the gum" he wired;

EL|zABETHV|LLE IS
THE FINAL WINNER
Took Close Game From Lykens
High Saturday; Claim They
Were Ill Treated

Elizabethville, Pa, Nov. 3O.-With
a hard learned victory over Lykens
High School, score to 0. Elizabeth
Vile High closed the season Saturday
at Lykens. The victors were given a
rousing reception when they reached
home. The game was the hardest
battle the local school experienced
this season. 1t was necessary to play
officials, crowds and players who had
no more right on a high school team
than a college graduate.
In the opin!cn OF a conservative
spectator, Elizabethville should have
won by score of 80 to 0. The first
period showed Elizabethville outclass-
ing Lykens. In the next period, with
the aid of an official, said to be from
Dickinson, Lykens held the locals to
no score Penalties were not consid-
cred as a part of the game and Ly-
kens. it is said, was guilty of gross
violations which were overlooked. NO
attention was given rules at all.
Elizabethville protested every ir--
regularity but their protests were not
considered. The crowd also inter-
fered whenever Elizabethville was
near Iykens" goal line. Wiconisco
fans backed Elizabethville and went
home with well-filled pockets, having
placed large bets on the result of the
game. The lineup and summary:

LEADING BATSMAV
IS JAKE DAUBERT
National League Averages Show
Slump on Part Of Hitters;
Runs Scored

Philadelphia, Nov. 30.-Jake Dau-
bert, the Brooklyn first baseman. re-
tanned his title as the champion bats
man of the National League during the
season. of 1914, according to the Of
fetal averages which have just been
released. Daubert led the league in
1913 with an average of $50 for 139
games, and the past season he toiled
in 126 games and finished with an
average of 1923. Beals Becker, of the
Phillies, was very close second, with
an average of 1875.
The hitting in the National League
this year was not as good as in 1913,
werc only fifteen players to finish in
800 class, while last year there were
23. Sherwood Magee. of the Phillies,
has the honor of making the most
hits, getting a total of III. Last year
this honor went to "Gabby" Cravath,
who gathered 179. In addition to
leading in hits. Magee made more
doubles than any other player in the
league, 80, Carey, of Pittsburgh, led
in triples with II, while Cravath top
ped the home-run hitters with 19,
equaling his mark of last year, when
he also led the league. George Burns,
cf New York, scored the most runs,
100, and also led the base stealers with
62 to his credit. Lee Magee, OF st.
Louis, led in sacrifice hits with 35.
The record of runs scored by all the
teams in the league shows some in
teresting facts. More runs were scor-
ed against the Phillies last season than
any other team, their opponents tally
ing 687 and Brooklyn scored more
runs against them than any other
team. The work of the st. Louis and
Pittsburgh pitchers is shown to be
most effective, for these teams allowed
the least number of runs, $40. The
New York Giants were the best scoring
team. with a total of 672, while Brook
lyn led in team hitting, with an aver
age of .268. The Giants were second
with 1856 and the Phillles third with
.263. The Boston Braves, who won
the worlds championship, finished
fourth with 251

ENoLA DIsAPPoINTs PALMYRA
Letter to the Sporting Editor:

"The Enola football team under the
management of Harry Mcintyre was
scheduled to play at Palmyra on
Thanksgiving morning at 1890. All
arrangements had been made by cor
respondence and q telephone message
from the Palmyra manager to Mr.. Nc
Intyre was sent on Tuesday to make
sure that the visitors would come.
Every assurance was received from
Mr. Mcintyre that the team would be
on hand in time for the game. There
were five hundred spectators on the
field to see the game from $40 till
waiting for the team or some intelli-
gence as to why they did not come,
the Palmyra people thinking that they
probably had breakdown of the auto
truck on which they stated they would
come.
"a telephone message was sent to
Nc Mcintyre, but he refused to ans
wer the phone, andJ of course, after he
evaded the request, Palmyra made in
quiries from other sources and found
the Enola team had not even left for
Palmyra. This is considered a very
unsportsmanlike trick on the part OF
Enola, and the Palmyra people will
have little respect for that team or
the management in the future and it
warns all other teams to avoid any
connection whatever with the Enola
bunch as they are certainly not relia-
BILE.
There is no excuse that the Enola
team could give that would justify
them to be excused, because the least
that they could have done If they
did not want to come, was to tele-
phone Palmyra in the morning before
the game and in this instance Palmyra
could have had other teams to play"

to have it known just what they of

latter offered them in return he is at
perfect liberty to announce all deal

"Gilmore has been leading the fans
to think we made overtures for peace
