League Standing.

In only one department did Holt
vile prove TO be the equal of Ell Cen
tro, and that was in the matter of
errors, each side re ,ristering four with
the locals coping he game, I to 8,

MANY wobbles make baseball rotten,
while a sprinkling of misplays gen
eraly tends to enliven what might
otherwise be termed slow game.
Young pitched for Ell Centre and his
work was much better than the aver
age. When a pitcher keeps the hits
down to not more than one in any
enc inning, that is going pretty good,
and that is just what Young did
Thanksgiving afternoon. He famed

did make two runs in the fourth inn
ING without a sign of hit, and also
made two runs in the ninth with only
che hit, but bases on balls and errors
can accomplish most anything.
Bresnahan and Stricken proved to
be easy victims for Young, each strik-
irg out four times, while Hill, un-
GCubtedly the best catcher in the
league, made a brace of safetieS, as
likewise did Ritter. ShOrtstop Rath
added several points to his batting
average by siamming out three bin
e'es, retiring in the eighth because of
q sprained ankle. j. Tackett and
"Smiley' Atkinson were good for two
singles each, the former driving in the
winning run in the ninth inning.
Just glancing at the fielding rec
ords of the FL Centre catcher and
fist baseman tells the entire story.
These two players had a total of p
putouts to their credit, and that gen
crauy means some fair twirlng.
"Smiley" hadthirteen and Smith eight.
FL Centre started Off with rush,
annexing two runs in the first nm
ing. Rath, first man up, made hit,
but fell victim to Hills deadly peg.
Jacobson followed suit with a safety
ard scored on Kepley's drive to right
field, an error of Hills making the
run nossible. The locals did not score
aeain until the eighth frame, a when
time Kepley walked, stole second and
tailed on II. Tackett's crack. Baker,
batting for Pratt, was ribbed and
reached third, when Smith lined out
. two bagger, both scoring ON Atkln-
sons timely single to right field.
Holtville scored first in the fourth,
three bases on balls and an error
permitting two runs. In the next mn
irg. after two were down, Hill past
cd out a two-sacker and scored when
Jacobson allowed Baths grounder to
rercolate through his legs. The sixth
saw Holtville's one earned run come
through, and Ritter landed on one for
three bases, scoring on Smulling's
sacrifice Ely to left field. There was
nothing doing then until the ninth
and Johnson opened the inning with
clean hit, but died stealing. Bres-

AT LAST
Long Parry Over Lusitania
Believed Ended.
Secretary Lansing Today Has
Germany's Final Note.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Secretary
Lansing had before him today another
written proposal from Germany de-
signed to bring about settlement of
the controversy over the sinking of the
Lusitania- 1t was submitted through
Ambassador Won Bernstorff.
Although strict secrecy surrounds
the negotiations it was indicated today
that the proposal might result in a
satisfactory ending to the long stand
ing negotiations on the subject.
1t is understood that in the latest
proposal Germany has agreed to
eliminate from the text of the agree
ment any mention of the warning is
sued by the German embaSsy~the day
the Lusitania sailed and has left out
her proposed general reservation of
admission of wrongdoing on the part
of her submarine commander. The
two points, it is understood, were con-
tanned in previous proposals and were
strenuously objected to by President
Wilson.
1t was also said that in it's latest
proposal the Berlin government makes
country take action in regard to ques-
tons involving the freedom of the
seas. Germany it is said, reiterates
that the torpedoing of the Lusitania.
was an act of reprisal for the British
blockade of the German coast. Re
greet is expressed for the loss of Amer
lean lives and indemnity is offered.
Attention is called to the fact that such
forms of reprisals have been discon-
tinued as the result of negotiations
with the United States.

BONIBARD NANCY AGAIN.
Panic Stricken PopuIace FIees Before
Siege Guns and Air Bombs.

Paris, Jan. 25.-The city of Nancy
was again bombarded this morning by
long range German guns and this
afternoon a number of bombs were
dropped from German aeroplanes. The
damages from the battle were incon-
siderable and only two. persons were
wounded, while the aeroplane attack
is reported to, have been without re-
suit.
1t was announced from Paris on
January 8 that during the three pre-
ceding days six persons had been
killed and ten wounded in Nancy as
the result of a bombardment of the
city by German 15-inch guns. Alarm
ing rumors having been circulated as
to havoc caused by. the bombardment
and consequent panic among the in
habitants, the project of the depart
ment in which Nancy is situated is
sued a circular discrediting the ru-
morS.
On the day mentioned President
Poincare went to Nancy and passed
the entire day there. AS precaution-
airy measure the art works in the gal
leries of the city were removed to
Troies. Safe conducts were issued to
5000 persons to leave the city on the
eve of the three days battle.
