derful power so that at times his elo-
quence swayed the entire court room.
BY his plaintive descriptions it was
plain to see that he was endeavoring
to touch the human-interest chord of
the jury. His frankness was refresh
ing and his merry remarks at times
convulsed the audience.
Montsomerys Argument.
Mr.. Montgomery il the early part
of his argument covered the details
of the general conspiracy of the Uni
ted Mine Workers. as he termed it,
throughout the state. He read the
famous Call to Arms, Doyles yari
Gus kilograms and Lawson's well
known interview in the Denver Post,
TO the jury.
He scored The Denver Post and
other papers for the publishing of
the Unreasonable and melting tele-
grams" which he had read. He con
tended that the sending of the tele-
grams was not only the evidence of
a conspiracy but that it was treason
to the state as well, and Treason is
the worst crime that can be commit
ted"
The attorney said that Robb had re-
ceived these kilograms that had been
sent out by Doyle and others and that
he had made them public and there
fore he was as culpable as any of the
rest.
Claim Constitutional Rights
These men will tell you that they
were within their constitutional rights
when they armed themselves and
went out to fight" said the speaker,
''Dave Robb paid Tom Scott three
hundred dollars with which to buy
guns SO that these men could go oui
and defend their constitutional rights
But the constitution was not made for
these defendants and the coal min
ers alone. but it was made for all Of
us.

Counsel will tell you that they never
see the light of day. and how they
labor in the darkness which nature
has thrown about them. But do not
let that influence you in the least for
it has nothing whatever to do with
the case.
To Determine Guilt or Innocence.
The question is to determine whe-
ther these men are guilty or not
guilty of the crime which is charged
against them, whether or not they are
guilty OF murder.
General Maupin will tell you that
Matt Graham and Tom Easton were
born in this county, that they are
home boys. and that they are entitled
to your consideration. And he will
further tell you that because Robt
and Pogliano were born elsewhere
and perhaps out OF this country
yon should not let that influence
you. And. Of course, it shouldn't. II

FED GAME HERE IS
PLEASING TO FANS
Much Talk on Report About
Baltimore and Indianap=
oils Exhibition.

The report that . baseball game
between the Baltimore and Indian
apolis Federal League teams will be
played at the Morordrome on Sunday,
May II, called much comment among
local fans last night and today. A
majority of the enthus asts who are
fond of baseball believe that the Mo-
tordrome would be an ideal spot, and
that il would require very few al
terra tons to make it a servieeable
and suitable ball park.
" is not likely that there will be
any changes in the Federal League
circuit this season, but next year
there may be some alterations. A
new circuit is seldom entirely sue
cessful, and it requires two or three
years TO adjffiust itself
Newark fans have heard so much
of the Feds they would like to see
the teams in action in an exhibition
game. An effort was made recently
to obtain grounds on which an all
star semi-pro team could arrange ex-
hibitions with the Feds for Sundays
1t was impossible to obtain the site
on which the park was to have beer
built and the project fell through
It would not be at all difficult for
teams to jump from Brooklyn to
Newark for Sunday games or even
from Baltimore. The players could
leave the Monumental City on a Sat
urday night and get a good rest be-
fore playing the following day. The
Newark team generally leaves this
city on an early morning train when
games are scheduled at Baltimore.
The run can be made in about four
hours.

ENGLISH POLO|STS
AROUSE COMMENT
Newspapers Think That Play
Must Improve Considerably
for Team to Figure.

LONDON, May 6.-Considerable
comment has been evoked in the
English papers over the poor show
ing made by the English team Sc
lected to play this year in America
for the Polo Cup.
The Sportsman today says that, re-
alizing something is wrong with the
British team, Baron Wimborne has
altered the order of his side for to-
days match to be played against a
strong team consisting of Walter s.
Buekmaster. Mr.. Grenfell, Captain
Leslie, St. c. Cheape and Lord Wode-
house, whose handicap value is two
goals better than that of Baron VIM
borne's' team. The newspaper says
that if the challenging team does
badly again today it would be wise
TO cons der whether the trip to the
United States should not be post
poned foAa year, as a bad failure on
its part Mould do much harm.
The Daily Telegraph takes the view
that il is impossible for Baron VIM
borne TO arrive at any decision until
he has seen how the team plays in
test matches this week
The Pail Mall Gazette says that on
such form as it displayed on Monday
the British team does not stand a 100
to l chance. At present it lacks both
leader and confidence. both OF
which are essential 10 its success in
America.
The general view is expressed that
Baron Wimborne's team is handi-
capped by lack of sufficient good

ALLSOPP LIKELY
TOOPPOSE BAUER
South Side and East Side Will
Meet-Only City League
Game.

The lone Newark High Schools
Athletic Association baseball cham
pionship game scheduled for this
week will be played at City Athletic
Field tomorrow afternoon, when
, South Side High School and East
Side High School meet. This is the
second encounter of the two schools
this season. South Side won the first
contest after the East Siders had de-
feated Barringer and were leading
the league. The South Side victory
was most unexpected at the time, as
Barringer had had little difficulty in
trouncing the Clinton Hill School in
the opening league game, II to 1.
Both teams have been putting in
strenuous practise during the week,
indoors when the weather would not
permit regular diamond workouts
East Side will probably start Cliff
Allsopp on the mound, with sGeorge
Bauer behind the bat. South Side S
selection will likely be Lefty Mark,
who has proved anything but an
easy mark to hit thus far this season.
Several shifts have been made in
the South Side line-1p in preparation
for the game, the only steady player
being Clyde Mason at third base, who
has been retained becaus of his heavy
hitting.

ORIOLE SCRIBES THROWING
BOUQUETS AT GLEICHMANN

Gus Gleichmann, a local boy, is
playing sensational ball around first
base for the Baltimore Orioles, and
his work has much to do with the
good showing made by the Birds.
Gleichmann's case is simply another
verification of the old yarn that a
man is not without honor save in
his own country. Gleichmann had to
go elsewhere to get his chance, ana
the Baltimore papers ring with his
praises. Gleichmann is said to be the
best first sacker Baltimore has had in
years. They say he covers more
ground and is faster on the bases
than Hauser, and he has been hitting
hard.
Chief George Johnson, the Cincin-
natl pitcher who jumped to the Kan
sas City Federal League team, must
continue to remain idle SO far as
taking part in ball games is con-
cerned, at least for ten more days.
Judge Charles NJ. Foel, in the Su-
perior Court of Cook county, Ill,
yesterday continued the injunction
proceedings until May IA, when it is
expected that there will be a final
decree in the case.
Judge Sessions, of the United States
Circuit Court of Appeals, announced
yesterday that he had granted an
appeal in the Federal Baseball
Leagues case relative to Player Kill
iifer, which was decided against it
at Grand Rapids several weeks ago.
Judge Sessions said that the general
basis for the appeal was the claim
that the lower court erred in denying
an injunction.
President Edward Barrow, of the
International League, has sent letter
to Walter Ward, of the Brooklyn
club of the Federal League, warning
him not to tamper with any of the
players who play on the Barrow cir
cult. This action was taken by Bar
row after he had learned that Man
ager Bill Bradley, of the Tip Tops,
had been making advances to Bunny
H arne, the former Giant pitcher.
who is now with the Toronto club, of
the International League. Recently,
while Toronto was in Baltimore,
Bradley had a telephone CONVERSE
ton with Hearne and made him big
offer to jump to Brooklyn. Hearne
refused, and Barrow is very much
disturbed to think that Brooklyn
would try to get signed players after

G|BBONS-HOWARD
DECISION DIVIDED
Newspaper Writers Disagree,
Although Majority Give Fight
to st. Paul Boxer.
BAYONNE BOY AGGRESSIVE

Mike Gibbons, of st. Paul, Mimi,
old not knockout Johnny Howard,
Of Bayonne, in their ten-round bout
a the Broadway Sporting Club,
Brooklyn, and as a consequence there
IS wide difference of opinion on
the outcome of the fight. Some are
positive that Mike won, while others
give all the credit to the Jerseyite.
Gibbons won the fight, but his mar
gin was not very wide. The Jerseyite
was the aggressor in every round,
and his strong attack in the first
three rounds of the bout had the
usually cool Gibbons bewildered. In
the third round Howard tore into
Hike and jabbed his head off with
b1th hands, and Mike showed the
effects of the punching.
But this round was the last in
which Howard performed to any
great advantage. Mike started the
fourth with rush, and soon started
In as though he meant to finish the
Rayonneite then and there. He
caught Howard with enough punches
IN this round to stop any ordinary
fighter, but Howard was not be be
stopped, although he went to his cor
ner at the end of the round In a bad
way. His left eye was cut and 1t
bled profusely.
From the fifth until the finish the
men went at it hammer and tongs
Howard was game, and despite the
fact that Gibbons used both hands to
his face and body, Johnny was al
ways willing to come in for more.
He landed many a blow himself, and
IN the eighth round cut Gibbons's left
eye open with a hard right.
Gibbons cut loos in the ninth and
bombarded Johnny, but Howard was
still on his feet at the bell The tenth
found both men lighting hard. How
ar setting home some hard ticks.
The sporting writer's are all divided
over the outcome of the bout, some
giving 1T to Howard, others to Glib
bons. The various decisions are as
follows:
The sun Gibbons outclassed How
erd.
Morning World: Gibbons won by a
small margin. He knew he hal a
fight. The so-called wizard oi the
ring met a foeman worthy of his
steel.
Times: Gibbons was at no time IN
danger and outpointed Howard with
ease.
Tribune: Mike Gibbons defeated
Johnny Howard. The victory was
clean-cut and decisive. =.
American: Gibbons needed all ms
cunning and craft to gain point de-
cision over Johnny Howard. 1t was
by far the hardest fight Gibbons ever
had in these parts.
Press: Gibbons's stalling tactics
cost him the bout on points. Howard
had five rounds, Gibbons four and
one was even.
Herald: Gibbons permitted How
ard to stay ten rounds. Mike was
satisfied to toy with Howard all the
time, and his apparent unwillingness
to try for a decisive win, despite the
fact that numerous opportunities
were offered, caused the crowd fire.
cnently TO voice it's displeasure of
the st. Paul boxers gentle treatment
of his heavier opponent.
