party here, Roscoe c'Fatty'D Ar
buckle, screen comedian, gained
weeks grace.
A combination of circumstances
entered into the delay. Two holi-
days this week-election day and
Armistice Day-promised to break
up the trial had 1t started, as sched-
uled. In addition, there had been
doubt whether the defense attorneys
would be able to gother certain evi-
dence in the East in time. District At
torney Brady, gathering counter
evidence, was not able to complete
his investigation by today.
Arbuckle, who with his wife,
Minta Durfee Arbuckle. has been
living for the last two weeks in a
hotel, was on hand for the trial.
BY agreement, however. when the
case was called before Superior
Judge Louderback motion was

of both sides Judge Louderback was
expected TO set next Monday as the
date for the opening OF the trial.
The fact that today's appearance
was to be purely formal did not pre-.

in the hall of JUSTICE.
Despite the fact that Arbuckle has
been living for two weeks within a
stones throw of the scene OF the gay
hotel party out Of which the tragedy
resulted. few persons knew the film
star was in the city The two weeks
probably have been the quietest in the

BogaIusa Wins First
Game in Seven Weeks

The BIackbirds changed their name
to Mud-hens Sunday afternoon, and
in a muddy battle on the wet clay
diamond of the City Athletic Park,
defeated the shipyards aggregation
Jahncke Dry Dock to the tune OF 5
to 2.
The field was sloppy and slow and
the heavy-footed "hens" were able to
land On the ball hard and often while
the visitors, slowed up by glue-like
loan, had bad evening trying to
field the hits.
The game started at 2:15, i'm
mediately after Sundays hardest
rainfall, and as long as the water
remained on the diamond the visitors
played well. Heavy hitting helped
them to tally two markers in the first
two innings, and doubtless at home in
the "high seas" they experienced no
difficulty in fielding the ball while
the water was up to their shoe tops.
However, Old Sol came out, and
under his beaming smile the water
began to disappear and muddy field
remained, and then it was that the
Mud-hens started their batting prac-
tice.
In the third session lobe Smiths
mighty ash smote the ball for a
homer with two men on and ruined
the previous hopes of the visitors.
Benny Boyd and Midget Stevenson
had both been issued passes when the
Brides "Babine" walked to the plate
and the crowd on its toes for a sensa-
tional hit were not disappointed when
Toeb leaned heavily against the first
offering and lifted it some ten feet
or so over tie right field fence.
In order to make the afternoon a
complete success, the locals managed
to score two more in the fourth when
Marx scored on the butter-fingered
attempt of the visiting third sacker
to stop him, and few minutes later
Sis Gatzman came romping home
when another Jahncke player muffed
the ball.
From then on the game improved
and Benny Boyd who opened the
game in the box for Bogalusa pitched
excellent ball and held the visitors
hitless until IrOnarm Poole, tired of
warming the bench, came out and
finished the evening.
The game was slow, but a consid-
cradle Improvement over some of the
contests held, and the crowd who
braved the threatening rain to attend
it were at least given an opportunity
to cheer q winning team.
Stevens, the diminutive left
fielder, and his teammate, Smith, at
the opposite side of the field, seem to
have solved Manager Peters dilemma

Former Brownie
is Cleveland Star

Allan Sothoron, the former
Brownie hurler, well-known to large
number of Bogalusans, was the indi-
vidual star in the game Saturday be-
tween the Cleveland Indians and the
Yanks. Sotohorn held the hard-hitting
Yanks, who have been giving the
Indians a race for first place the last
week, to but three hits and won the
game with a score of to 0.
SotohoFn was released by Foil
shortly after the opening of the sea-
son and was turned over to Boston.
The Red Sox later asked waivers on
Al, and Manager Speaker, with his
ear ever to the ground on the lookout
for championship material, took the
veteran spit-baller, and as results
show has made the former Brownie
one of the aces of his already formid-
able pitching staff.

he likes to tell about an old negro

asked for a loan that would enable
him to go into business.

'WeIL, sur" said the old man,
Frightening considerably, "Ah fms All
kin buy wood cross de ribber at a
dollar a cord. All All has to do is to
lighter It across and sell It right here
in dis town."
AS wood was selling at So cord
in Natchez, Mr.. Krebs thought favor
ably Of the venture and let Uncle Billy
have the $500 to start the business.
A month later Mr.. Krebs went down
to the riverfront, and there was Uncle
Billy just arriving with q lot Of splen-
did looking wood.
GLOW are getting along, Uncle
Billy?" asked Mr.. Krebs.
"Des fine, des fine, cap'n," he re-
piled.
"what are you gettin' for wood like

"Ah git a dollar 'er cord" answered
the old man.
"Why, you idiot" said Afr. Krebs,
"don't you know you can't pay dol
lar a cord for wood. bring 1t across the
river and sell It at a profit for dol

Another example Of German efhci'
ency goes by the board in the descrip-
ton, in the Scientific American, Of the
use Of the latest German battleship
Baden, a superdreadnaught, as a tar.
get in an attack by gunfre from 15-
inch guns and tOrpedoes.
The Baden was one Of the battle
ships turned over to the allies at the
time Of the armistice to be destroyed.
She sank after a comparatively brief
bombardment, the 1S&-inch belt be-
ing readily perforated at 10,0OO-yaPd

widely accepted belief that the Ger

defensive qualities which exceeded
those Of similar ships in navies Of the
world.
