Some League Ball.
From that time on the game was
anybody's and both teams buckled
down to real league playing. In the
seventh Winside tied the score and
threatened to score more, but between
Boyee and Hoffman Norfolk pulled out
of bad hole. In the eighth Winside
filled the bases two times and two
times the fast work of Hoffman, Kop-

back to rights. In the first of the

CONTRADICT CONFESSION.
Defense in New York Trial Would Dis
prove "Third Degree" Statement.

New York, Aug. 25.-Most of the i'm
portant evidence of the prosecution
was in when the trial of Paul Geidel
for the murder of William Jackson
continued today. The district attor-
ney expected to finish his case in time
to permit the defense to open this
afternoon. The sworn statements of
three witnesses who say Geidel con-
fessed the crime in all its details will
be contradicted by the defense. Two
of these witnesses were policemen
and the other Geidel's roommate, Pat
rick McGrane.
The cross-examination of these and
other witnesses for the prosecution
yesterday indicated that the defense
would try to prove that Jackson and
Geidel were friends and that Jackson
died of heart failure.
