 The notifications of the alleged gam bling were so widespread that it would be impossible to complete a thorough in vestigation during the regular session, Henry H. Brigham, foreman said.
 The jury has received evidence which indicates an attempt by a nationwide ring of gamblers to ''pollute baseball and ruin the great national game in the same way. boxing was killed and horse racing crucified," MT. Brigham said in statement summarizing the work of the jury thus far.
 Comparatively few players are impli- cated. however, said MT Brigham.

Pipe ExpIodes, Kills Cow
KnoWn as "QUeen of DairV''

LYNN, Mass, March 24.-Ine
queen of the. dairy" is dead, and she
met her death in a very peculiar man.
ner.
Jackson Bigger, proprietor Of a
local dairy farm, keeps thirty cows.
The queen of the dairy was known
by her peculiar markings. Some
called her the calico" COW, but Mr.
Bigger named her the Queen, be-
cause she was his best cow.
On a recent afternoon Mr.. Bug
gers herd was in the barnyard. He
went there to drive the COWS into
the barn. He stopped at the barn
yard pump, took his pipe from his
pocket, filled it with loose tobacco
from his coat pocket, lighted his pipe
and started to drive the cows into
the barn. ....
Queen of the Dairy stood several
feet away from the other cows. Mr.
Bigger walked toward her and when
a few feet away there was a loud
explosion and his pipe was blown
into countless pieces. Smoke filled
his eyes. He rubbed them, and when
the fog cleared away Queen of the
Dairy lay at his feet dead with a
bullet through her head.
Mr.. Bigger says he was out in a
back lot after dinner shooting at
crows with a 32-caliber rifle; that
he carried the loose cartridges in
his coat pocket with his tobacco and
that he placed a cartridge in his
pipe which went off," struck the
COW and killed her.
He supposed he had removed all
the cartridges from his pocket.
