AUGUSTUS BIG SIXTH TURNS
BACK BOYS FROM MILO TOWN
BRUINS OF OXFORD HERE TODAY

Bill Morrell's terrific slam over the
right field fence in the sixth started
an Augusta rally that spelled defeat
for the Milo boys 3 to / over on Will
liams' field Wednesday afternoon.
1t was a hurting duel between
Houser's ace and the Milo twirler
despite the fact Augusta registered
eight hits, Fowler keeping them nice
ly scattered except in the big sixth.
The visitors were first to tally and
that lone one doomed big in the early
stanzas. After both sides were re-
tired runless in the initial frame,
Lampher fouled to Abbott but Cooney
laced out a single White Whitfield
and Duffy hit an easy one that A.
Morrell made a mess Of Fowler hit
another of the same brand and Nor
rell encored with his second bobble.
This temporarily threw Bill Morrell
off his stride and he uncorked a wild
heave, Cooney scoring. Maxim was
out on a nice assist by Mcguire.
Augustus three came in the sixth.
Bill Morrell first up, picked one to
his liking and gave the apple ride
over the right field fence. Brisk foul
ed to Duffy. Abbott lined out pref
ty one and A. Morrell followed suit.
Wilson flied to Dasha, but when Ma
guire lifted Sky scraper to Allen,
Abbott and Morrell scored when the
visiting center gardener made an in
glorious muff Mcguire was out on
the play following.

Weaver and Felsch included only the
statement OF Burns that he saw them
in room in Cincinnati with other

said Fork told him he was the little
red head from St. Louis who started
the deal. LIS the only man who has

Bench Observations

Squanto registered a double in the
second but died in an attempt to
add base to the drive.
Mcguire accepted nine chances
and covered acres of territory, his
catch off White in the seventh being
way out in right center.
Bill Morrell was grinning broadly
when he returned to the bench after
circling the bases following his Babe
Ruth.
Fast sprinting by Mcguire and Nc
Gouldrick got them scratches, both
beating the throw by IL step.
Houser's clan has an elaborate
system of signals that have won
more than one ball game. Some in
side stuff was pulled yesterday.
A Hallowcll delegation, roofing for
Milo, went strangely silent after the
sixth inning fireworks.
Captain Allen was so disguised
with his muff of Maguire's, fly that
he ordered himself from the game
Monroe taking up the burden in CEN
ter.
Fowler complained Of an imagi-
nary heaviness in the ball. Some one
suggested it would be heavier be-
fore the game was over. This was
previous to the sixth inning fusil-
lade.
Today at P. NJ. the Oxford Bears
will be with us again. Augusta has
twice defeated them each time by a
small score. They have strengthen
ed in the box and promise to make
things interesting for Houser's colts
this afternoon. Augusta is set for
another win. Let's go over and see
'em do it, Mayhap they will get a
licking

procedure. At that time he said, he
had in mind only the indictment of

Immediately after the interview that
Coakley had asked a retaining fee OF
ten thousand dollars to handle the

Earlier in the day Melvin M. John
son of Counsel for Mr.. Tufts, took
up the case of John w. Coombs
charged with operating an automo-
bile while under the influence of IL
quor in December 1918. This case
was cited against Mr.. Tufts in the
attorney generals allegations. Mr..
Tufts testified that at that time he
knew that Mr.. Allen was counsel for
Coombs in a civil case. He said that
in conversations regarding a Grimm
al case against Coombs. Mr.. Allen
had expressed to him a wish that
Coombs could be indicted for man
slaughter.
He said his only chance to get
any money out of the fellow was to
put him through course of sprouts

testified. II told him I couldn't very
the usual practice"
This, he said would have been to
let the lower courts find a charge of
operating an automobile while under
the influence of liquor, and to allow
the case to go to the Superior court
on appeal.
Mr.. Tufts said he presented the
evidence to the grand jury which re-
fused to indict for manslaughter but
which returned a bill for operating
so as to endanger the lives Of the
public.
