Continued From First PAGE.

ran 10 the second floor of the boarding
house and because % the smoke, he
could not distinguish any one in the
house.
In response TO questions by Prose
cutting Attorney Lucas Sumac said
he was taken To a Justice Office and
that because ne would not answer
questions as they wanted him To, the
deputies kicked him in the legs and
punched him. 1t WAS brought out
that Stimac was and is a member OF
the Western Federation of Miners.
Stimac was the last witness yes
the house of JOS. Putrich at Sceber-
Vile and lived there August A.
Between and s o'clock that morn
ing he and seven other boardcrs went
to South Range To get their strike
benefits from the federation. They
got the benefits in the afternoon and
then they bought one box of beer and
took it to a park and drank it, later
getting a second box and drinking that.
Returning to Painesdalc he and John
kollan stopped at the postollicc and
later a little store, where they got
some pop and tobacco. They then
started for Scebervillc over Il path
commonly used by them and there met
Humphrey Quick, whom they had
known as a shift boss. He ordered
them back but they went on through -
the Putrich house and had supper.
The matter of the witness familiar
ity with the English language was
again referred to and caused consider
able discussion. Stimac admitted that
he understands the language when
spoken slowly, but that he can speak
ii hut very little. He said he under
stood what quick told him in regard 10
walking on the company's property, but
nor could he repeat them i'm English.

Mrs. Antonia SabOnski, n neighbor
of the Putrich family. whose residence

near the window of the Putrich house !
when the shots were being fired, she
said. and at the same instant, she saw
a piece of wood thrown from the house ;
though she did not see from what part
Of the house it came. She saw no one
struck by the wood. The prosecution /
concluded it's examination of the wit !

gan it's quiz.

RUSSELL FORD
SIGNS To PITCH
FOR FEDERA[5
Yankees Star HurIer and WilIett
Have Jumped Johnson's Organ
ization for New League.

~HICAGO. Jan. 21.-The an
l nouncement that Russell Ford,
star twirler of the New York
Americans, had signed a contract with
the Federal League was not given out
by the officials of the new baseball
organization The information be-
came public to-day through . state
ment of B. B. Johnson, president OF
the American League.
Ford signed a Federal League con-
tract two or three days ago" said
johnson. ED Willett, of Detroit,
signed with the Federals before Ford
did. Willett was on his way south
to start training with the Detroit
club when he met Mordecai Brown in
st. Louis and Brown induced him to
come with the E'ederals.
Il knew that Ford was flirting with
the Federals last week. | telephoned
President Farrell in New York and
gave him a chance to take steps to
prevent Ford leaving New York. Far
rell did not seem much interested. He
said Ford's two-y year contract had eX-
pired and that no one in the Amer
lean or National League had been
particularly anxious to trade any
good players for Ford. Farrell said
Ford was not worth the $4,000 a year
the New York club was paying him
and that he had several rows with
Manager Chance last year because
Ford did not want to do his share
of the pitching.

the New York catcher, that he has
not signed "a Federal League contract
and | don't think he will sign one. |

The battle started and Cross tore
right at me- He looked like man in

hand and playing for my body with
his left. The big crowd cheered, for
it thought the New York boy would
surely topple me over and bring home
the lightweight title.

ORGANIZED BASEBALL.

|
| Organized baseball isa form of PHI
Ianthropy instituted for the purpose of
keeping the wolf from, the club own
er's door.
In the last ten years the wolf has
not approached within twenty seven
miles of the club owners door. This
is due to the fact that wolf once met
club owner. The wolf now hesitates
to approach within hailing distance of
| the owners door, lest the owner come
out and inveigle nim into buying a
| gold brick.
Organized baseball has kept the
player in the bonds Of slavery. 1t has
grasped him out of foundry, where
he has been shoveIing black sand for
$2.72 per diem, and shanghaied him
to a cruel hotel in Florida, where the
| barbarous waiter leaves a few seeds
| in the grapefruit and the night clerk
| raises a superciIious smile when you
inform him that there was no rose
water in your bawth this morning.
; We feel for the ball player who has
been trapped into organized baseball.
He is a slave for life. All he can do
is to gamboI around for approximate
| iy three hours every day at a bank
presidents salary and be housed in
hotels where he is treated as COM
mon millionaire.
Then there is the dark side to THIS
bright picture. We once knew fin
ancier who had thrived for years on
the theory that a yokel could not des-
ignate the particular she'll under
which the little pill was hodin" forth
at that time.
He throve and throve on the yokels
until he waxed rich. Whereupon a
stranger approached him, saying: -
have a baseball franchise which |
would sell at cost price"
But the three shell man answered
him, saying: "Lay off, kind sir; ! am
willing to separate a man from his
kale, but don't believe in walking
on his esophasus while do it!'
The report that George Wiltse has
refused a Federal League offer will be
news to George when he returns 70
America on or about March 8.
Joe Tinker and Charlie Ebbets
shook hands when they met. This
is due to the fact that neither had
pair of brass knuckles handy.

Willie Ritchies doctor advised him
to call off the fight, but there is a
suspicion that Willie was working In
an advisory capacity to his doctor.
There are many nesr-inValids in

We fail to see where Charlie En-

when he signs Zach Wheat. All Char

Freddie Yelle is fighter who halls
