About o'clock Sunday evening,
Sheriff Woolison received a call to

Sheriff Woolison and Deputy Sheriff
Mossholder fastened to the scene in
an automobile. Mrs. Hinken told the
officers that man had broken in the
cellar window and, after gaining an
entrance, had made his escape out
of the door, taking with him several
cans of fruit. Mrs. Hinken stated
she was alone in the house at the
time and upon hearing the noise in
the cellar she secured shot gun and
went to the cellar door in hopes of
shooting down the burglar. She told
the officers that she was considerable
excited and although she shot twice
the bullets went wild. The officers

road and traced them to the Hardes-
ty woods.

test On Sunday

Remarkable pitching by Noble, a
Utica product who was with the Fort
Wayne team in the Central League last
| season, gave Barre's Athletics first
hold on the city base ball champion
ship in an eleven-inning contest at the
Athletic Park Sunday afternoon, the
score being s to 2.
With two men down in the first half
of the eleventh inning and with the
game %, Donald wootton started
things for the Athletics by drive
along first base line, scoring Snyder
who had got to second on a walk and
a wild pitch. Wootton took second
when the ball was thrown home in an
attempt to catch Snyder, stole third
and then came in on Dixie" Porter's
hit into center field. Porter scored
when Sullivan dropped Ayers long fly
into left.
The game was spectacular and
abounded in thrilling plays which
several times brought the grand.stand
and bleachers to their feet. Lanty
Householder pulled down six flies
in left field for the Mt. Vernon team,
two of which we're marvellous catches.
In the tenth, the Athletics with two
down had two men on bases. Weed
hit Texas Lacquer, and scores seem.
ed certain. BY supreme effort, House.
holder ran forward, caught the ball
close to the ground, retiring the side
and winning an ovation for himself
He made catch nearly as thrilling in
the seventh inning.
The big, overshadowing feature of
the game, however, was the pitching
of Noble for the Athletics. Master of
all situations, he pulled himself out of
holes several times by simple process
of striking out opposing batsmen. With
plenty of speed and curves, he fielded
his position perfectly, taking several
hard chances. He struck out IL Mt
Vernon batsmen, walked one, hit one
and only allowed three hits, one of
which was bunt, in eleven innings.
Local followers of the game pro-
claimed Noble the best pitcher seen on
the local diamond this season.
He was well supported. A Ports
mouth player, Miller was great ad-
dition to the team. Although the box
score gives him three errors, these
were all wild throws and one in par
ticular was an exceedingly hard
chance. His fielding work was perfec-
tion in ITSELF
| All of the Athletics runs were earn
ed. Mt. Vernon earned one of theirs.
Wootton showed up well in batting,
driving in two runs and scoring two
himself. With Porter, he worked a
double steal in the second, coming
home after Dixie" had drawn the ball
to second.
The crowd seemed divided in it's
sympathies, roofing for plays more
than the teams. The remaining games
of the series are scheduled for the
next two Sundays. Both teams will
use practically the same line-ups and it
is certain that good games will devel-
ope.

German Chancellor Explains Attitude
Toward Peace.
Berlin, Dec. 10.-The imperial Ger
man chancellor, Baron Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, refused to state possible
terms Of peace, in reply to the de-
mand made by the German Socialists.
Instead, he made it plain to a great
gathering in the reichstag that any
peace proposals must come from Ger
many's enemies.
If our enemies make peace pro-
posals compatible with Germans dig
nifty and safety, then we shall always
be ready to discuss Them" he as
serted.
And moment later, continuing:
This war can only be terminated
by a peace which gives human certi-
tude that it will not return
He made it clear that, in his opin-
ion, it would be folly for Germany to
propose peace $50 long as in the
countries of our enemies the guilt and
ignorance of statesmen are entangled
with confusion and public opinion"
He asserted Germany's food sup
plies were sufficient and that her i'm
mense stores Of copper were adequate
for many years.

by Emperor William and at the out
