DEFENSE CLAIMS ID BE SATISFIED
General BandhoItz Unable to Remember Some of the
 Things Hoped For
By Associated Press

Charleston. w. Va, May 22.-Brig. Gen. H. H. Bandholtz, heralded as chief aiibi witness by the defense in the trial of William Blizzard TOT treason, failed today to recoiect some of the things the attorneys arc said to have hoped he would sup- stantiate. However, the defense later expressed satisfaction over other evi- dence brought into the record.
 Announcing that they considered Blizzard's presence with the armed men in Logan county had become an important factor in the case. his at torneys said they would refute tes- timony that their client was leading some of he n1archers August 27. by showing he was with General Band holtz that day and would also show he went later to Logan county aftef the general had called upon mine union officials to aid in stopping the fighting when the federal troops went in to restore order. :.
 The general testified that Blizzard went with him to Racine on August s7, but did not recall seeing him after they talked with some of the armed men there. ae could not recall con- yersations with William Petry. vice president of district No. IT. United Mine workers on September l. and as a result of which the defense con- tends Blizzard was sent to Blair and other Logan county towns not to as- sist the miners in their atacks on state and county forces but to get them 10 so home.
 Ed Reynolds in certifying for the state, said he and Blizzard led some of the marchers from Madison to Jeffery on the twenty-seventh, while several defense witnesses told of see ing Blizzard in Charleston after the general returned from his inspection trip to Racine.
 While two state witnesses had tes- tified they saw an army officer they believed to be General Bandboltz in the ball park at Madison, where Kenney turned the men back. the general said that he did not go to Madison, and that no army officer was sent there that day.

 Out, { to 0

starkville, Miss, May 23.---(Spe- cial)--The A. and M baseball team won from the University of Alabama on Hardy Field here today by a score of 70, in 6 game which abounded in brilliant fielding and splendid battery work.
 Mitchell, for the Aggies, allowed only one hit, fielded his position faultlessly and in every critical per- iod of the contest showed his skill as one of the foremost college pitch CTS in the south.
 For six innings the Maroons were unable to register against their ,op- ponents, despite the fact that on one occasion a runner was on third base with no outs, as the next three bat ters were unable to deliver the necessary hit of long fly.
 Hinton, the southpaw moundsman of the University lads. pitched a creditable game. but in the seventh inning. session which seems to be psychological for the Farmers Rawls opened up with 6 clean single and reached second on slow field ing of the left gardner. A wild pitch advanced him to third. and Mitchell occupied the initial sack on being hit by Hinton.
 Little popped up feeble ny 70 the third baseman. but Howell proved himself a good waiter and was pass ed on balls.
 Klindworth Triples
 Smith, who had been substituted for Myer at short, was retired on a fly to center field. but Captain Klind- worth was equal to the emergency and opportunely cracked screaming hit to right field, which netted him three bases and scored three of his mates.
 Turner scored Klindworth on hit to Keith. which was fumbled. and allowed him to reach first in safety.
 Fowler ended the inning with fly to right field and this concluded tho scoring. and virtually the game. As during the succeeding innings the batters on both teams were re- tired in quick order.
 The second game of the series, the last between the two teams, takes place tomorrow and intense interest is manifested In the outcome. as this will decide whether the Aggies are eligible for the S. l. A. A. champion ship score.
