JURY SITS IN LEPPIN CASE
Body of Aged Man Who Was Muir
dered is Buried.
NO CLUE TO HIS AsSAILANTs
Nothing Has Been Heard of Mans
Son, who May Have shared
the Same Fate as His
Father,

The body of William Leppin, the aged
employe at the Milwaukee roundhouse,
who was murdered and robbed on the
night of November is, was buried yester-
day by Coroner Cutler, after he had em-
paneled jury to view 1t for the purpose
of holding an inquest at some future
time If something more tangible can be
learned. The jurymen are Architect
Frederick l.. Cox, Bert Hill and Paul
Tremaine.
Leppin's dead body was found in the
weeds nearly 200 yards from the Mill
waukee roundhouse, where he had lived
with his halfwitted son in dismounted
box car stationed in the yards near the
roundhouse He had been shot In the
side of the head with a AS caliber Colt s
automatic pistol, as indicated by some
shells found in his pockets and one
empty one lying on the ground nearby
The pistol, which had been bought by
himself for protection, was missing, and
about $3.50 which the aged man was
known to have had on his person was
gone with the exception of $2.11 found in
his overcoat pockets.
At o'clock on the night of the murder
the car was found TO be afire on the
inside with the door locked With an out
side paddock. The old mans keys were
afterwards found in the car. The half
witted son disappeared that night and
has never been heard Of He held the
only other key to the lock II was evil
IDENTIFY the purpose to convey the impress
sion that the old man had committed
suicide after locking the car and setting
It afire. A letter was found in his pocket
telling of two others he had written to
the chief of police and which were de-
livered the day the body was found. 1t
has been shown that neither the writing
nor the signatures were those Of the old
man, and they could not have been
penned by the defective son. There has
been a strong conviction that the boy
was lured into a conspiracy to kill and
rob his father and was afterwards slain
himself and his body disposed of some
where. Not a trace of the boy has been
found at ST. Joseph or Kansas City,
where they formerly lived. 1t is believed
that If alive he would have made his
way back there If he had possessed any
knowledge of a conspiracy against his
aged father. The body, which had been
preserved for more than a month, was
viewed by the coroner's jury yesterday
afternoon. 1t was buried in Fairview
cemetery.

Detroit Third Stacker Said to be Booked For Clark Grif-

Detroit, Dec. 18.-There is a good chance for Clark Griffith to procure George Moriarty, the captain and third baseman of the Detroit team. Griffith is known to have opened cent meeting Of the American League in New York. but at that time the Cleveland club showed a dospOsition to obtain Mor!arty, and Washington s chances were considered rather slim.
 Since then, however. there has been a change in conditions Jennings, from all that can be learned, does not look with favor upon the trade Cleve- land suggested by which that club ex- Stovall for Moriarty, and it was hant- ed in baseball headquarters yesterday that if Griffith will come across with enough cash he will probably get the preference
 Though Moriarty did not play up to his former standard last season, the patrons of the game do not look upon his going with favor. Moriarty, because of his earnestness, has been favorite here even when he was in a slump. But the player is anxious to get away from Detroit, and for this treason more than~any other Man ager Jennings is willid9 to part with him.
 1t is understood that Moriarty is anxious 10 go to Griffith, for whom he played his first major league ball. career in New York in 1906. having been bought from Toledo.

Toronto Wants Game With Penn Or Cornell
Canadian College Favorably I'm. pressed With American
 Style of Football

There may be an international foot ball match next year. the University of Toronto team, having seen the Penn-Cornell game, may ask for a game with one of these two teams.
 Coach W. A. Hewitt, of the Cana dian team writes as follows about the game Thanksgiving Day in the Tor onto Star
 The game would altogether likely have to be played under American rules, as the Americans would sure ly make a burlesque out of game where interference would be so strict ly penalized as it is under the Cana dian rules.
 ''The American ganfe is based who'll ly upon interference and it would not be difficult matter for brainy Canadian team like varsity to adapt itself to these conditions; in fact, it Is certain that it would prove so much of novelty that the players would find the greatest delight in working out it's vast possibilities. With good interference working in front ot their great running and passing game varsity would present an attack that would be very difficult to stop.
 The Canadian rugby players com pare very favorably for size with the American players, though the latter appear bigger men on the field be- cause of the super-abundance of
 ldA ASSo diu pdQuluS. Livery Iuan wears large shoulder pads, as we'll as hip pads, like "sliders" used by baseball players. Divested of their uniforms and regalia the Americans appear of normal size, though the coaches invariably give preference to the big men, all other things being equal.
 Both Pennsylvania and Cornell play CTS showed the same snap and quick. ness in their play as usually features the Varsity game but 1t is sure thing that they would have to be right smart to keep pace with the Torontonians in putting the ball into play Once they decide on their line of attack, the Americans work very quickly. and on plays close in to centre, with their interference work. ing we'll would certainly mystify the Canadians, but they wouldn't get away with many runs around the end, for the simple reason that the Americans do not pass the ball at all, and as a consequence, there is only one man to stop.

Tim Jordan Can't
 Go To Pittsburg
Brooklyn is Covering Up" Crack First Sacker Now With Toronto, $7,5O0 is Price Dreyfuss Will Pay

Barney Dreyfuss, owner of the Pittsburgs, was in a quandary yes- terday He said he was ready to pay a good stiff price for First Baseman Tim Jordan. but did not know just who was entitled to the money.j Jor- dan played first base for the Toronto son and made such fine record with the stick that Dreyfusss attention was attracted. Jordan knocked out twenty home runs and covered the bag with such agility that, other ma jor league clubs began to look him over. Three years ago Jordan was the Brooklyn clubs first baseman. time it looked as if he would never return to the diamond. The Brooklyn club therefore secured Jake Daubert. who developed so rapidly that when Jordan showed signs of recovery there was no room for him on the team.
 Dreyfuss came to the baseball con- clave last week prepared to hand over as much as $7,500 to the Toronto club for Jordan But as soon as the sub- ject was broached the Pittsburg mag nate discovered that there was an underground hitch of some kind and also learned that the Brooklyn club was mixed up.
 'T cannot find out whether Toronto or Brooklyn owns Jordan,'' said Drey- fuss. yesterday. eff I knew which club Acould sell his release I'd buy it, but so far I am stumped."
 Dreyfuss's predicament illustrates the practice in vogue among major in minor circuits. It was accepted as a fact that Jordan belonged to Tor onto without strings until Dreyfuss began to negotiate for him.

(waterbury-American)


 Dan O'Neil, owner of the local franchise in the Connecticut League of Baseball. Clubs. hasn't thought of transferring the Waterbury team to Holyoke, according to a statement made by him in New Haven Friday afternoon, although. he did admit that he asked the schedule maker to pre- pare two sets of dates, one for Wa terbury. and one for Holyoke, as he doesn't know yet just where he stands as to the Rockville grounds. It is said some of the magnates at the league meeting at the Garde qu1zzed him about. the matter and it was intimated that some of them were averse to his Transferring. He cannot transfer without the consent of a majority of the board of directors
 The tale that he would transfer to Holyoke probably found its authen- ticfty in the fact that O'Neil visited Waterbury last week and had a talk with the Connor brothers. Roger and Joe. O'Neil explains his visit by saying that there were some things about the situation in New Britain that he wanted to straighten out and thought Joe Connor, who was formerly his partner there, might be able to en. Tighten him. He said he also talked with Frank F. -Becton and Tom Fitz- maurice of the Waterbury Athletic Corporation, which controls the grounds, and was given to understand by them that there would be no diff fciulty over his acquiring a lease of the grounds $--E4FE f H- ys

This action has been taken to prevent the side agreements so often made between player might sign for $200 a month whereby he was to get $50 month done it is impossible for clubs to keep within the salary limit agreed upon by the league magnates and as a re. suit the larger cities are carrying high priced teams while the clubs that keep within the rules are in the rut.

The winner of the big wrestling match in which Stanislaus Zbyszko. the Pole, and Giovanni Raicevich, the champion of Italy. will be the princi- pals, is now assured of a meeting with Flank Gotch for the worlds 8 championship.

Monday December 25 and Gotch sent a telegram yesterd1T to a represen tative in>New York saying that he would be ready to meet the winner by the latter part of Janpary.
 s-sEhe stories to the effect that Gotch is going to retire are evidently man. ufactured by enemies of the worlds champion as he says that he intends to keep in the game just as long as he can hold his own. The very fact that he is so willing to sign up inn mediately to meet the winner of next Christmas nights bout, proves con- clusively that he is not picking out easy spots.
