JESS WILLARD IS
 FREED FROM BLAME
Boxer Held Not Responsible For Death Of Bull Young In
 Los Angeles

Los Angeles; Cal, Aug. 27.-The death of John "BuIl'' Young was un- intentional by Jess Willard, according to the verdict of a coroner's jury given late yesterday. The death was caused, the verdict said, by "contusion of the brain, due to a blow on the chin de- livered by Jess Willard
 The prosecution had announced that the coroner's jury would not alter the manslaughter charges against Willard and eleven others as a result of the fatal fight last week at the Vernon Arena.
 The bout was referred to as a prize fight in the verdict. This will be an important point in the prosecution, ac- cording to Assistant District Attorney Ford, who has charge of the case.
 Prize fighting he said F'is illegal in California, although boxing is per nitted. It is announced that there ould be nothing doing at the Yer non Arena until late in September, at the earliest.

 IN VANCOUVER BIG.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. N-Leach Cross and his retinue, including Mrs. Louis WalIach-Cross, Baby Wallach- Cross, brother boxer Phil and brother manager Sam, left for Vancouver, B. C., yesterday afternoon, enroute to New York city, where the Crosses are quite prominent. They are due in Manhattan on September 10.
 Leachie S main reason for going via Vancouver is to see Lightweight Cham pion Willie Ritcf15e box there on La Dor Day. The entourage will stay. at Vancouver several days, during which time Barrister Sam will try to induce Ritchie to agree to box Leach some time in the immediate future.
 Brother Sam attended to all minor details before the party bid adieu to this town.

BLUM HURLS ONE HIT
 GAME AGAINST NEW HAVEN
Crossmen Play Eroress Ball and Hit Jensen
 In Timely Fashion

Blossom Blum got in. right with To- cal fans yesterday by invading Savin Rock and allowing New Haven one hit, Bridgeport winning by to 0. The JournaI-Courier- says:
 Like Julius Caesar, who did not play on a baseball nine, but who would have known all about the game if he had been fortunate enough to have been born in America, Fred Blum, Bridgeport pitcher, appeared in uniform 1t the Prairie yesterday afternoon. He worked against the Champions and conquered. Not that there was anything 1 remarkable or marvellous about that as New Haven has been beaten before this season. But at no time this season have the Champions showed such unfor- tunate weakness at the bat as they did yesterday. MT. Blum virtually pitch7 ed his head off and one hit was the best New Haven could do with his puzzling delivery. Said hit was reg istered after two had been retired in the ninth, a repetition of Hopper's perfor nance against Springfield when Cabrera marred 8 no-hit perform ance.~ Sherwood pulled the trick but got no farther
 Blum was the supreme master and gave brilliant exhibition of the twirling art In seven of the nine cantos he retired the hom mesters in or der. Sherwood drew pass in the fifth and advanced to third on two inf1e1d outs only to be left stranded. In the ninth he singled over second with two out and Rolling flied out to Bowman for the third out. That was all New Haven could do on the attack and Sherwood, who is not hitting now adays, proved the buster of hopes. On the face of results Blum's effort for a no-hit triumph calls for a superflu- ous use of adjectives and is entitled to that distinction. It is no little thing to hold down a team like New Haven with the race at fever heat.
 Opposed to Blum was Bill Jensen. He pitched fairly good and allowed the opposition but six hits, two sof which went for extra bases. Bridge ports first run was scored in the sec

There is a report ia circulation that Tom Connery will be manager of the Bridgeport club next season. The for -mer Hartford leader, who is at present acting as scout for the St. Louis Ma tionals, was in this city a few weeks ago and had a conference with OWner Freeman of the local club Persons who learned of this talk felt sure that Gonneryshad been elected 1914 pilot
 Connery was interviewed later, how ever, and declared there was nothing to be said in the matter. The. scout explained that he was under contract to St. Louis and could not do business with any other club at present. con nery left the city after talking Wlth Freeman but it is believed py' those on the inside that an understandings was reached before they parted:
 Connery was manager of Hartford fl, 1909 1910. 1911 and 1912 In his first year h. won a -pennant and after that he finished second once ana thlru twice He is a great deVeIQper o- 1olIne players and while with Hart ford h brought Owner C1arkin thou sands of. dollars by picking up players like High. Regh and Buck O'Brien, who were afterward sold for a large sum. He is a fighter who keeps the players hust1ing every minute owner Freeman would make popular choice by securing Connery.
 Cabrera, the Cuban infielder with Springfield, is threatened with appen- dicitis and has gone back to Cupa TOT trea atment He will return to the Po- nies next season.
 The Worcester Post says Manager Rurkett of that club was trying to land Catcher Joe Monahan of the Crossmen. There was catcher named Monahan playing with Leominster and Burkett thought itzwas Joe. He signed the backstop but when the newcomer arrived it was seen that he was raw recruit and not the reliable Joe.

 PORKY FLYNN OUT
Boston Tar Baby Shows Old
 Skill By Winning in Fourth

Boston, Aug. 27-san Langford, who was narooned in Australia for the past year, made his first appearance in this country last night when he stacked up against Porky Flynn at the Atlas A. A. The Tar Baby seemed to have lost none of his old time hitting pow CT and he put Flynn away in the fourth round.
 Ten seconds before the bell sound ed in the fourth round of what was scheduled to be a 12-round bout, right jab to the jaw landed and Flynn went down for the count. Langford received a surprise in the. first round, when Flynn, with a smashing left drive, sent him to the mat. The ne gro, although very fat, had a slight advantage in weight, being few pounds lighter than his antagonist.

little hope of F'alkenberg joining the Nationals, for whenever Griffith wants anything that Cleveland has he is not apt to realize his ambitions. But Griffith will not waive. He figures that FaIkenberg would do a lot to help his pitching. staff, especially in the spring of the year when the-elongated twirler is at his best. Cleveland does not seem to think much of Falken- berg.
 It is argued that his winning streak this spring was a fuke, and that he is not the kind of a pitcher who would help win a championship. Griffith on the other hand, is willing to take a chance He knows that his present staff is not strong enough to battle through the next season, if the Ma tionals are to have a chance at the flag, and he is on the lookout for a seasoned pitcher or two to help out his corps of youngsters.
 We will have to develop pitcher or two for next season, if we are to have a chance for the fag," said he. ''The present staff is not good enough to give us hopes for the pennant next season, and I trust that some of the young fellows we have purchased will come through
 Griffith will have all the pitchers he has purchased and has farmed out re- port this fall, so that he can get a look at them. He wants to know this fall what he is. to expect of his pitchers next spring and the only way he can do that is to have them report before the season is started.

The "Non- pareiP' outfought La Blanche up to the 30th, and seemed certain victor, when the Marine" landed a terrible left to the jaw that stretched out the midd1eweight champion for the count The bout was for a purse of $5,OO0 to the winner and $500 to the loser and La B1anche's accidental blow earned him $4,000. It is alleged that earlier in the fight La Blanche had offered to quit if Dempsey woulds give him $500.

II also was developed by the Cath

as a priest which he used 10 this
country.
Muret, under merciless Ertlling by
the police, not only admitted that he
knew both Schmidt and the murdered
girl but also confessed mai Schmidt
had been a partner Of his in a coun-

After the arrest the police raided

Jointly last June by Muret and
Schmidt In the latter fat was found
a complete counterfeiting outfit in

In the fiat in which Muret lived
were found a number of surgical
