MAHAN WANTED

Eddie Mahan, Harvards crack

of the Cleveland club, and asked what

Fohl. Get off your foot. Tell this

Tuesday, and it glistened with a

Six out of the nine innings he
pitched no-hit ball, and at least three
of the seven bingleS he presented were

scratches was in the third inning
when Thomas hit one down the third

The knowledge that Savage was out
looking for new players might nave
had something to do with it but what
ever the cause every player got into
the game and made himself useful as
lell as ornamental
In fact the team looked so good that
it seems there is really no need for
other players and if the same kind of
playing is kept up it is safe to say the
contemplated changes will be curtailed
considerably when they are made In
fact, it would be poor wisdom to shake
up the infield at all if Tuesdays form
can be continued.
Goodwin in Form
Goodwin displayed the first flash of
real fielding he has shown since join
ing the club, and he not only went
after all his chances, but got them.
In the sixth inning he took a line drive
from Hartford's bat that dispelled any
sdoubt about his ability when he ex-
tends himself In all, he handled five
chances. Cochran also covered his
territory well. and one of his two as
sists to first was as pretty a peg as
could be made from the third sack
station.
s A total of eleven hits was made
from the offerings of Mr. Thomas, five
of which were for extra bases. Mon
noe got the longest hit of the afternoon
on the Savage side when he poled a
triple to the right field fence in the
sixth inning. Schweitzer got two
doubles, Cochran double and a single
and Agler and Kruger two singles
each.
All Arc Hitting.
The winning of the game was not as
easy as the score might indicate. Dou-
sbles by Goodwin and Cochran in the
first frame and a single by Kruger put
Lattimore's battlers in the lead by two
runs Both sides made one in the
third. and then the Izzies knotted the
count in the fifth when thew .rot a
COB of luck that threatened to upset
things. With two out, Hahn singled
and then Hunter hit long fly that
bounced over the scoreboard in right
field and lodged between the fences

pie and the situation began to look so
cloudy that Dashner was sent to the
bull pen to warm up. However. West

ALLIES FINISH
PEACEREPLIES
Notes for u. S. and
Germany to Start in
4S Hours
By ARTHUR 5. DRAPER


London. Dec. 2s.-The joint reply oil
the Entente Allies to the peace notes
of Germany and the United States is
expected to go to President wilson TO-
morrow or Saturday.
NJ. Ribot and NJ. Thomas, the French
Ministers Of Finance and Munitions
respectively. are still here in consulta-
ton with the British government. Al
though their mission probably is not
primarily connected with the peace re-
ply, it i, likely that the reply has re-
ceived the fullest discussion.
Italy Will Not Quit
The wording of the answer praeu-
cslly has been completed, both Ru-
mania and Russia now having added
their Inducements. The Cars mes
sage has created the greatest satisfac-
tion here.
Reports OF separate overtures TO
Italy from Austria are premature. 1t
Is undoubtedly true that Emperor
Charles has high hopes of speedy
ending of the war, and is willing TO
make large sacrifices of territory 70
Italy rather than to see the dlslntegra-
ton of his kingdom, but Italian states
men have keen appreciation OF the
whole situation and realize the ad-
yantages 70 be gained by continuing to
the end.
OF all the bigger beiligerents Aus
tria has suffered most from war casual
ties and economically and financially.
No matter how soon peace is made, En-
peror Charles will rule over country
almost on the brink of ruin. Economi-
cally, Austria's plight could hardly be
worse.
Would Break with Germany
Under the tutelage of Count Berch-
told. former Foreign Secretary. the En-
peror is trying TO clean out Burian and
other tools Of Count Tisza. In his
short reign he has shown clearsighted-
ness. determination and sincere de.
sire TO break away from the grip OF
Germany.
Italy has played the game skilfully
and fairly, and is still very much in the
ring, but shipping difficulties have
brought about an embarrassing eco
nomic situation. Recently conditions
have improved considerably, but they
are still bad enough TO cause a certain
amount of unrest. Italy's aims in this
war have been clearly defined, however,
and she intends to stick until they are
realized.
