The El Centro team was defeated by Imperial on the El Centro grounds last Sunday by score of g to : The home team was disorganized by the non-arrival of it's regular shortstop and several of the men were playing out of position. There was some poor fielding, and costly errors were made, but on the whole the game was exciting and fairly good Fl Centro was in the lead up to the seventh inning but did not score af- ter the second.
 An opportunity to even up the score or win the game was lost through the umpire's unfamiliarity with the rule that protects players against the trick of a second ball on the diamond. Three El Centro men were on bases, with two mem out, and the Imperial men were holding a pow WOW at the pitchers box, when someone threw into the diamond a ball that had been fouled over the fence. Brashear thought the ball ly- ing on the ground was the ball in play and tried to steal home from third, but the catcher had the ball in play and touched him, and the um- pire called it a put out, forgetting that no play can be made while a second ball is in the field. Brash- ear should have been sent back to third. With Vance at the bat, runs might have been brought in. Andy Broadbent made some difficult catches and Harkins, Brown, Allen and Bra shear cid brilliant work with the stick. About 50s people attended the game.

GOVERNOR CALLED
TO GIVE EVIDENCE
Chief Executive of Tennessee Called
by Defense to Give Evidence
and Is Not Cross
Examined

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb 27.-Two
features stood out today in the Cooper
Sharpe trial for the murder of former
United States Senator E. w. Carmack
One was the calling by the defense of
Governor Patterson.
The other was the failure of the state
to cross-examine him.
The governor testified twice, once be-
fore the court and again before the
grand jury. In the court he told how
he was called over the telephone by
Col. COoper's daughter, Mrs. Lucius
Burch.
What Mrs. Burch told him he did not
say. Whatever Mrs. Burch said so inn
pressed the governor that he took his
private secretary and began a three
hours search for the colonel, ending at
the Maxwell hotel at noon, where he
found Col. Cooper.
He told of a conference there at
which, besides himself, were present
the colonel, Attorney James Bradford
and Robin Cooper. He described the
colonePs anger and his declarations,
and told how they soothed the old SOL
dier and made him promise to let
friends arrange a peaceful settlement.
After the governor had told his story
to the court, Judge Hart listened to ar
guments and decided that he need not
repeat the conversation at the confer
ence he attended, but might say what
the result was and describe the
colonePs manner and demeanor.
The state declined to cross-examine,
but reserved the right to recall the gov
ernor.

CANNON HAS CLASH
WITH TENNESSEEAN
SPEAKER SAYS CONGRESSMAN
INSULTED HIM
Representative Gaines Retorts with
Same Accusation-Serg
Arms Starts to Use
His Mace

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-A sharp
clash between Representative Gaines of
Tennessee and Speaker Cannon oc-
CURED in the house today, in the course
Of which each claimed he had been
insulted by the other.
So persistent was Mr.. Gaines in ad-
dressing the chair when declared out
Of order that the speaker directed the
ergeant-at-arms to compel him to be
in order"
The sergeant-at-arms, for the first
time in several years, took the mace
from its stand and proceeded toward
Mr.. Gaines, but the speaker called him
back upon hearing the Tennessee mem-
ber say he would be in order.
The trouble arose during the reading
of the general deficiency appropriation
bill, Mr.. Gaines insisting on interrupt
ing.
Il did not know was not in ORDER -
Mr.. Gaines remarked.
The speaker, with some warmth, de-
member of the house long enough to
know that he was not in order.
1T takes a student like the speaker, .
retOrted Mr.. Gaines, ''to know what
the rules are, and he has to study them
every minute with somebody to prompt
him."
'The gentleman from Tennessee" " the
speaker hotly replied, lis absolutely
discourteous and misstates the facts.'
By this time both men were thor
oughly wrought up.
"The gentleman from Tennessee, .
came back Mr.. Gaines, 'is no more
discourteous than the speaker is dis
courteous to him."
1.-THE chair desires at all times to be
as impartial as he can, but the prac-
tice has grown up occasionally for a
member, on the supposition that the
speakers tongue is tied, to insult him.

He was injured in a basketball game
ten days ago, and after returning home
lost consciousness and was kept alive
only by the use of liquid foods forced
