BECKER TRIAL RECORD FILED
z'4oo Printed Pages, Exposing Perjury
to Save Gunmen's Lives

New York, Dec. 4.-WilGam Penny
Clerk of the Criminal Branch of the
Supreme Court, forwarded to the Clerk
OF the Court of Appeals in Albany YES.
1efday the printed record of the case
OF Charles Becker, to be used in the
second appeal of Becker from convic-
non for the murder of Herman Rosen.
thai.
me record comprises four volumes of
6o0 pages each and has been in prep.
aration six months. It's completion
opens the way for the argument of the
appeal, which probably will be made in
January. John B. johnson. who. with
Martin I. Manton, is working on the
brlef, announced yesterday that a copy
soon would be given to the District
Attorney.
Assistant District Attorney TAYLOR.
IN charge of the Appeal Bureau. will
have ten days to frame an answer.
When the argument is made District
Attorney Whitman, who prosecuted
Becker, will be Governor, and Justice
Seabury, before whom Becker was last
tried, will be an Associate Justice of
the Court of Appeals.
The record is remarkable in that
much of 1t is formed of newspaper clip
pings which were injected into motion
for change of venue. These tell of
the last efforts to save the four gun
men, who were executed shortly before
Becker was tried. They describe the
manner in which the perjured testi-
mony offered in the gunmen's behalf
was obtained.
An important point in the Becker
brief will be the exclusion of the jury
during argument over the admissibility
of the evidence regarding the confes-
sion 'Dago Frank was said to have
made before he died.

Tyrus Raymond Cobb. undoubtedly
the most scintillating meteor in the
baseball armament. has not reached
this high position merely through his
great natural ability as a player. He
is generally conceded to be the most
careful student of the game that has
ever worn a,glove. He goes into every
detail with the utmost precision and
all OF his marvellous stunts are care
fully planned long before they are put
into action. Having evolved his plan.
Ty patiently awaits his opportunity to
execute some play that astounds every
member OF fandom.
One Of the Georglan's great hobbies
is automobiling. and although he. has
won automobiles that were offered rs
prizes. he decided to buy car that
fully measured up to his own exacting
standards. In doing SO. the same char
acteristic precision and careful study
OF the game that brought him fame and
fortune on the diamond. led him to Sc
iect White Six to occupy his spare
moments. The new car. a sixty horse
power touring car. was purchased
when Ty left his Georgia home to
join the Tiger clan in New Orleans.
few days ago he gave orders to
ship the car to him At Detroit.

Washington, June 2T.--The rapidity
with which the Philippine islands are
being Americanized is striktngly
shown in official reports discussing the
athletic sports Of the people. Ameri-
can sports are popular and certain o!
them seem to have q strong ar hold on
the populRce than do the same sport
In the United States, Sportings goods
houses are doing big business and
selling more of those goods per capita
than ara sold in the United States.
Filipino interest In American sports
has been expanding with tho ra pidity
here referred 10 since about 1910. due
IN large part to the growing popularity
OF athletic training through the effort
Of the public schools. the Y NJ c. A.
and the Far Eastern Amateur Ath
letic association.
Four or five years ago few Manila.
merchants put in athletic goods as u
small side line. largely for the accom-
mediation of the bureau of education.
Since then the trade has grown sew
eral hundred per cent in the hands of
the original venturers, and other deal
ers have come into the field. During
the past year there has been general
business depression in the islands, but
the trade in athletic goods was
doubled.

vices. That game is now played In
every part of the archipelago. and the
number OF persons engaged in 1t is re
markedly large. Practically every
school In the ISLANDS has team and
some have more than one. Thirty or
more of the provinces have their pro-
vtncial leagues among the SCHOOL, and
these are supplemented by interpro-
vincial leagues. In Manila there Ia an
interurban league running scheduled
games throughout the season. an in
dustrial league composed If teams
from the large industrial com pa rtcs %

While the spread OF baseball has
been almost phenomenal. the develop
ment Of yellev bali and indoor baseball
has been quite as noteworthy. Both
these games are PLAYED out of doors
where gymnasium is not available
and are played in all parts OF the
islands.
TT Is worth while to record" saws
the official report. that within the
past year the manufacturers of volley
ball and indoor baseball supplies have
written their Manila representatives In
establishment at the amount Of the
supplies sold In the islands, sewing that
the goods exported to Manila exceeded

This truck was detailed for duty
between San Diego and Techarte. The
trip from Los Angeles TO San Diego
was anything but a pleasure drive
through the deep sand OF the low
places and across the stretches Of
rocky coast. where the roads were
little more than rough trails hewed
out OF the rocky surface. The broad
Firestone solid tires. however. kept
in the deep sand, the dual tires In
the rear held the wheels well TO the
surface. When gravelly stretches
were crossed where the rolling
pebbles prevented a firm grip on the
trail, the resilient rubber found grip
somehow. In spite Of all handicaps,
the trip from Los Angeles tn San
Diego, a stretch OF las miles. was
made in 10 hours. Some difference
