had shown.
Don't let that crowd get at me-" he
begged.

Hixon, lis to keep you away from the

At II o'clock last night Bissell was
loaded into an automobile by Joseph
Holman, deputy sheriff; Robert Miller,
city detective, and Verne Welch. He
didn't know where he was going and
was badly frightened. 1t was after
the party left the city limits that Bis
sell began to talk.
His Story to Holman.
He admitted" said Joe Hol-
man, that he was at the bakery
yesterday morning when the girl
was there with her mother. He
said he fixed tack in her shoe.
He said he left the bakery a few
minutes after she did and fol-
lowed her towards Kansas avenue.
Somewhere on Kansas avenue, he
says, he caught up with her. went
into a store and bought a dimes
worth of candy for her. Then, he
said. they walked down the street
as far Fifth and turned west.
He admitted he walked with her
to Topeka avenue, but says he left
her there and returned to the
bakery.
Il asked him what he supposed
the little girl was doing that far
away from the school she had
started for. He replied that he
didn't think much about it; that
he supposed her mother had sent
her out that way
Il asked him why he bought
the candy for her Why he re-
piled, any one would buy candy
for a sweet little girl like her.
-
get further confession frcm him on
the trip but that he declined to go
further with his story Bissell de-
clared he returned to the bakery and
went to work delivering pies. Officials
have evidence that he did not return
to the bakery at the time he said.
Autopsy on Body.
An autopsy was performed on the
body of the girl at midnight last night
by Dr. J. H. Rinehart, coroner. and
candy was found in the stomach
That, officials say. in conjunction with
Bissell's admission that he bought
candy for her and that she ate it only
an hour or two before her death, helps
clinch the case against Bissell.
Picked Up Three Times
Bissell was picked up by the police
three times yesterday and turned loose
twice. He was first picked UP about
five minutes after the pulmotor reach
ed the house where the girls body was
found and that was within one and

SUGGESTS PENALTY
FOR bean BALL.
Ban Johnson Would Give Two
Bases to Batter Whenever
Hit in the Head.
THINKS THIS WOULD CHECK
INTIMIDATION BY PITCHERS
American League President Pro-
poses Rule to Put an End to
Dangerous Practice.

CHICAGO, July president B. b
Johnson of the American League would
give the batter two bases whenever he
is hit in the head by a pitched ball, in
stead of one base, as at present, in
order to deter pitchers from intimi-
dating the batsman. In statement
made public here today he disagrees
with the suggestion recently made by
President Ebbetts of the Brooklyn Ma
tional League club. that batsman be
given his base any time the pitcher
tries. in the opinion of the umpire. to
hit the batter in the head. He thinks
the E,bbetts plan would only add to
the troubles of the umpire and would
lead to more wrangling.
Il am loath to believe" Mr.. johnson
said. that any PLAYER in the game
would deliberately injure another. but
there seems to be growing belief
that pitchers are resorting to throw
ing balls at a players head in order
to intimidate him or drive him away
from the plate. According to the re-
ports. that belief was largely RESPONSE
BILE for some Of the latest outbreaks on
the ee!d
In that case it may be well to pro-
vide some plan of minimizing the pos
sibility of such methods being en-
ployed r. pitchers in the future. How
would it do to inf1ict double penalty
on the pitcher who hits batsman on
the neck Or h~"d - living the batter

John Henry has developed into one
Of the best hitters among the America n

compliment to the timely hitting of the
IrlHmen's leading catcher, and it made

Fielder Jones Is one Of those veterans
who thinks the game Is not played as
inte1ligently as il formerly was
Il have not seen many of the plays
which formerly were used by winning
major league teams. They seem to ha We
been forgotten or relesated by the
order of things. But we worked the old
sacrifice killer at Cleveland success
fully twice simply because the Indians
were not wise to the play. Why it is
not in general use is not clear to me-
There are lot Of other plays which
have been forgotten. The hitting now
adays is not as strong as it used to be
in the old days. when the pitchers were
just as good as they are today, and in
many instances better
There is but one beneficial change:
there is more pepper among the play

story to tell of yesterdays game if
Fielder Jones had gotten it into his

Weilman was the easiest kind of

scored the runs which won the game

went to the individual in question and
told him he would be put out of the
park If he did not cease his abuse OF
Donovan, and this started an argu-
ment which attracted some attention.
1t seems. however, the affair was not
noticed on the field and that neither
of the umpires saw it.
Yet it is understood that Silk
O'Laughlin made a report of the event
on information he received from a
friend in the stand, and is responsible
for the fine which has been inflicted on
Donovan.
