Masterful curving by Otto Merz,
combined with the slugging and base
running Of Earl Smith, gave Omaha
to 0 victory over Joplin yester-
day.
Merz hurled great game. The big
pitcher allowed but four scattered
hits and only one time did a hostile
runner get as far as third base. Only
twice were Joplin runners given a
chance to explore the remote regions
around second base.
In the second stanza Fred Hunter
singled, took second on a sacrifice
and went to third on an inheld out,
but he died there. Dalton cracked a
double in the fourth, but he was.left
stranded, calling Justify to his mates
for aid, while Hunter and Horan went
out.
Smith was mixed up with every one
OF the four runs, marked up by the
Rourkes.
After Burg went out in the first
frame Krug and Thompson each
walked. Smith cracked single to
left, scoring Marty. y.
In the third, after Krug had walked,
Thompson forced him and then
swiped second. He went to third on
Monroe's low peg. Smith also drew
a walk and he and Shag pulled a
double steal on the Miners, Shag
scoring.
Knocks In Two More.
Krug's double, followed by Smiths
single, scored another run in the fifth
and the final run was counted in the
seventh on walk to Burg, Krug'.
sscrihce, Thompson's infeld hit ant
Smiths sacrifice fly to Dalton.
Thus Smith drove three runs ovel
and was a co-worker with Thompson
in a double steal which counted ;
tally.

PARIS PROJECT OF POLICE
DECLARES WAR ON HAT PINS

PARIS, May 16-M. Laurent, Paris
Project of Police, has declared war
en- hatpins.
Large placards appeared in all rail-
way stations of the French metropolis
today warning female fashionables
that long. protruding, swordlike pins
in hats are henchforth without the law
The pins must either be left at home
or effectively sheathed.
Not long ago French poilu, who
wore several medals on his breast as
an indication of bravery on the battle
field, found himself on Paris under
ground train facing danger almost
equal to battle. Surrounded by 4
group of fashionable women, long
sharp hatpins threatened him on every
side Having lost one eye in the war,
the poilu was in grave danger of losing
the other. AS the matter stands the
remaining eye is now under care of a
specialist. A former employer of the
soldier took up the case with the rail-
way company.
The company placarded its trains
with an appeal to feminine reason. But
the plea was weaker than prevailing
fashion. Soldiers and civilians alike
continued to run the hatpin gauntlet.
Today NJ. Laurel took firm hand
and from now on fashion will not dare
to flash its weapons in crowded Paris
trains.

MURDER TO BE
AIRED IN COURT OF FULTON

ATLANTA, Ga, May 16.-One of the
most peculiar murder cases on record
in Fulton county commenced yester-
day with the trial of George Powell, d
Wealthy farmer living in the northern
Fart of Fulton county. on charge of
killing Thomas B. Ashford, promin-
ent young Albanian, who was found on
Peachtree road in a dying condition
one night last fall.
1t is alleged by the state that
Powell and Ashford had an alteration
in a downtown hotel, that Powell
struck Ashford a blow on the head,
that Ashford walked out of the place
and caught a street car to go to his
lone, that after leaving the car he
lost consciousness and fell in the
street, and that his deaf hat the hos
ystal later was the result of Powells
blow.
Powell admits that he had an alterca-
tion on the night IN question, but
claims that the man was a total
stranger to him. His defense, handled
by Reuben R. Arnold, the famous Grim
inal lawyer of Atlanta, will be that
Ashford. whom he examined at the
morgue, was not the man with whom
lie uuarreled and fought; and, further,
that the glancing blow which he
struck the stranger with his open hand
coald not have produced death, as
most norton examination showed.
