strengthened by Welsh's own words,

If Welsh is really the author Of

SIGMA TEAM WINS
FIRST BALL GAME

In the first baseball game Of the sea-
son, played Saturday morning at the
Mesa ground, the Starfish Giants went
down in defeat by a very close margin
in q game in which the winning Sigma
team scored is runs and the StarfiSh
Giants Ia. According to the box score
the Sigma team had only three errors
while the Starfish Giants played error
less bail. The Sigma team made q
htis and the Starfish Giants Is. The
boys must certainly have made those
hits count and there must have been
many stolen bases to score. IA runs off
Is hits and Is off q hits.
D. Piatt and L. Goodman carried Off
the batting honOrs for the day, each
getting four hits in six times at bat.
The Sigma team started off with a big
lead and were far in front until d fuSil-
lade of Starfish Giant hits in the fifth
inning garnered eight runs for that
team and tied the score up at 13 apiece
Neither was able to score in the sixth,
the only inning during the game that
this occurred. In the seventh inning
the Sigma team gained a lead of one
run and in the two following innings in
creased this lead two runs. Those two
teams expect to come together again
within a short time and the Starfish
Giants intend to get revenge in the next
contest.

Old P0SITI0NS
Houck Leads Big League;
Cunningham Is at Head
of Industrial League.

There were practically 10 import
ant changes either in the individual
standings or the positions of the teams
in the various leagues bowling during
the past week on the Cactus club al
leys. In the big league, A w. Houck
still holds his average of 1856. Lee Davis
again dropped slightly, and although
still in second place, his average OF
ISL only leaves him a margin of one
point over Harry Carr and Scott White,
who are tied for third. Joe Bryan is
still in fifth place with an average of
179. Bryan picked up few pins dur
ing the week, but not enough to ad-
vance him any in position. In the In
dustrial league, J. Cunningham still
leads with an average of 1872, a better
score than any man in the big league
has. with the sole exception Of Cap
HOuck. Ray Maggie is still in second
place with an average Of III.
When Buddy Ward first showed
such good bowling in this league many
said that he was rolling far over his
head. Yet Ward still comes right along
and is next to Dutch Nagle with an
average of 1853. K H. Aber is fourth
with 167, and H. DeBruhl fifth with
1913.
New Man Comes Up.
In the Shelter league A. d. Wilkin-
song new man is tied with G. c. Alb
bott for the lead with 165. H. G. Bate
man and n. n. Rheinheimer are tied
for the next place with 161. Behind
them come G. A Fenner with $50 and
0. A. Critchett with 1853.
In the Federal league G. A. Fenner,
who started with this league quite re-
Gently, is far in front with an average
of 1872, a score six points better than
the leader in the big league has. A D.
Wilkinson is second with the very re-
spectacle average of 1913. From second
to third is quite drop, 19 pins separat-
ing Wilkinson and r. J. Soderholm,
who has 144. v E. Koenig. is fourth
with 14S and J. W. BrOwnfield fourth
with 14I In the team standings, the
only change of any Importance was
that in two of the leagues all Of the
teams were punched up a little closer
Old Guards Lead.
In the big league the Old Guards
again went into the lead after having
shared the berth. with the Houcks dur
ing the previous week. The City Ma
tiOnals. by taking all four points came
up until that team though still in the
cellar is only eight points behind the
leading Old Guards. In the Industrial
league the Weston Dairy Lunch team
is still in the lead, seven points ahead
of the Globe Mills team. The latter
team broke the tie for second place
with the Cement Plant by taking three
out Of four points from that team and
is now within striking distance Of the
leading Westons.
The Abbott still leads the Shelter
league with a margin of three games
over the second team. In the Federal
league the Pirates pulled the Tigers
out of first place and took that posi-
ton themselves. This is the first since
almost the beginning of the season the
Tigers have been out Of the lead

GERMANY NOT
REQUIRED PAY
An INDEMNITY
Suggested New Proposals
for Peace Along Ger
tain Studied Lines.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London, Dec. 26.-seThe exaction of
a large indemnity as part of the
terms Of peace in the present war is,
/ believe, out of the question" de-
clares Joseph King, member of par
lament from Somerset, who has fig
ured in the house of commons for the
past five years as an expert on eco
nomic questions. The question as put
to him was, at the close of the war,
will it be possible, and if possible,
will it be good policy, for the victors
to impose heavy money indemnity
on the vanquished?
In his reply, Mr.. King naturally as
sumes that the Entente Powers will
be the victors, but he insists that they
have little to gain from an effort to
extract indemnity from Germany and
her allies.
"Of course" he says, eve hear
many Englishmen remark: Certainly,
we shall make Germany pay every
penny we can get out of her, and
we shall go on fighting until we can
get terms including big sum in
money! That sounds very simple,
but is it possible? The imposition of
an indemnity is very complicated
and difficult question to decide.
'Take, for example, the huge in
demnity paid after 1871 by France to
Germany. AS a consequence Of this
the prosperity and trade of France
was recuperative and progressive
while Germany was depressed and
suffering. Bismark himself acknowl-
edged this, and economists In both
France and Germany attributed it tc
the way in which Germany received
her French indemnity payments.
tTn subsequent wars, notably the
Russo-Japanese war, claims for In
IDENTITIES in money, even when made
nv the victors, have not been pressed
because of the immense difficulties
which they present.
eff Germany has to pay huge In
demnity, she cannot do it by ship
ments Of gold, nor by TRANSFERRING
debts due her, nor by creating fresi
debts. She can pay only by her com
merce or productive industry. If he
manufacturing and shipping and trad
ing houses could be started at onc'

ends. she might soon be paving off In
demnity. But her men will be gone
her credit vanished, ner system over

Stockholm, Sweden, Dec. 26.-Mrs.
Inez Milholland Boissevain of New
York, who withdrew from the Ford
peace party Saturday presented to
public meeting of the delegates here
today her reasons for so doing and
for believing expedition a failure.
She criticized the "undemocratic
methods employed by the managers
of the expedition" and declared that
no organization was formed until
three days before the end of the voy-
age. She added that all meetings and
discussions have been purely pri-
vate with the result of i'll feeling sus-
picious and condemnation" Since the
party left New York there had been
no meetings at which peace had been
discussed. Most of the discussions
had been around the dinner table and
here the delegation spent the time be-

Judge Ben Lindsey of Denver and
other delegates insist that a peace
committee shall be formed at the
