FUST DIME IF THE SEISM
The Aurora Tigers Bank their
claws deep into the Washington
Wonders yesterday and took a 6-2
vlotory home with them. They
pouhced upon the local aggregation
In the seventh Inning and made all
of their tallies in that stanza-. Friend
Rivers, who attempted to bring them
to earth, was poor in his aim. He
walked threo men in succession, fill
ing the bases. Manning then tap
ped out a little single, scoring Hardy
Thompson and J. Hooker. Litch
field flew out to Webster, who made
a dandy running catch. Richard
son walked. Eugene Hooker was
safe at first when an unsuccessful
attempt was made to get Rowe on
third. The latter scored on a pass
ed ball. R. 8. Thompson hammered
out a {wo? bagger, bringing in Man
ning and felchardson. R. A. Thomp
son walked. Hardy got to first
safely when they * threw Eugene
Hooker out at the plate. J. Hooker
flew out to Haynesworth for the fin
al out, which ended the session.
Washington scored their two runs
In the fifth, Mlnton opening up with
a hit, Rivers following suit and
Haynesworth bringing them both In
with another single.
The batters on both teams have
evidently not yet trained their sights
right Only three hits were se
cured by Aurora, while the local
players secured but four. It wasn't
until thB last half of the fourth In-'
nlar that the flret bit of -the game
was made. Phelps breaking Into the
hit column with a scratch blngle
through Hardy Thompson.
Washington had several new men
In their line-up. Gray made a good
showing at short although the rough
ground bothered him oobslderably.
Pickett on third look* like a ball
plajer and plays like one. Mlntot* on
first, who was with us last season, Is
well kftowp h$re aod the Mm ere
glad to tsve him back again. Haynes
worth in* right field comca from
South Carolina. Considering the
fact that the Washington boys have
not practiced* any, yesterday's defeat
should not be counted too heavily
against them.
Aurora played well together and
there is no question bat that they
have a strong team. They appeared
yesterday in their new uniforms and
presented a neat appearance on the
field.

Td Pass By Censor
. Bf CARL ACKERMAN, .
United Preaa Staff Correspondent.
Berlin, ki?y 19. ? There 1* a strong'
reeling here that If tome powerful I
nation, each as the United States.!
undertook negotiations of peace, it |
might succeed. Diplomatic circles
regard the recent statements of
President Poincare of Franco and
Sir Edward Qrey of England as op-j
enlog guns for an informal discus
sion of peace, although the expres
slona of the allied leaders, as com
pared with the German Chancellor's
recent Reichstag speech, do not ap-r
pear altogether conciliatory. (Note
that this is probably the moBt frank
discussion of pe&ce rumors yet pars
ed by the censorship.) '
One officii] told me that making
peace' at this stage would be no more
difficult thas adjusting the recent
German- American submarine dis
pute. He explaiaed, however, that
no belligerent can publicly state
any definite peace terms while Infor
mal discussions occur w'.th each side
making drastic statements of what It
liitends to accomplish as the result
jof the war.
I learned on my trip to Holland
that that country is certain that ALL
belligerents want peace and that the
t!me for any decisive victory has
parsed, although each may attempt
a summer offensive. The Dutch
think It is America's duty to act
now. I
