there was a runner on first. Mertes came
up and as the bat met the ball it cracked
like a pistol shot and away scared the
sphere at an angle Of 30 degrees.
Passing over the fence it tore up a me-
chanical advertising apparatus costing
over $50 and still unimpeded, smashed
through plate glass window, struck the
centre OF a table, breaking up a pinochle
game and then bounded over the bar and
into the cut glassware on the shelves.
When the wreckage had been cleared up
a bill was presented to the baseball nam

the body Of Mrs. Margaret Leslie. an
actress, was found dead in room in

at the time to be case of suicide and
the coroner at the conclusion of the

theory. and the police have been in

murdered. Yesterday the coroner 3
