GEORGIAN VICTIM IF HAMMER F|END
J. E. HyWard Found In Alley With His Head !
 Smashed

With his skull crushed in, evidently Ga, was found early Friday morn- ing in Third alley near Twenty-fourth street and taken to the Hillman hos pital where his chances of recovery from the attack are thought to be very slight
 For the second time within a week Birmingham's ex-murderer has struck and that within few blocks of each other John Juliano was the victim recover from the attempt on his life. Heyward's condition is regarded as very doubtful. s
 Rewards wound Is practically identical with that of Juliano, evil dently being made with a/heavy ham, mer.
 During the past three years no less than 42 assaults of this nature have been made in Birmingham and 23 or these have resulted in the death or the victim. The case of Hayward and Juliano differ from the others in that previous cases have shown evidence that a blunt and jagged instrument was used which badly lacerated the victim. The two last have been done in neat manner but IS in the others no tangible clue has been left as to the perpetrator of the crimes. .l
 Hayward was assaulted about 2 o'clock Thursday evening and lay during the entire night in the alley near Twenty-fourth street before his plight was discovered. No less than three persons saw or heard Hayward in the alley after he had been struck down but in each case he was thought to be drunk and no inves- tigation was made nor was he re- ported to the police.
 Hayward has never regained con- sciousness sufficiently to tell what happened and as he is not expected to live through the night, detectives in charge of the case will be com pelled to reconstruct the tragedy cir cum1tancially in an effort to appre hend the assassin.
 Bob Cross, negro, was arrested at the Terminal station Friday morn ing as a suspect. A. search of his per son revealed a set of burglars tools, razor, Knife, ice pick and a 45-calibre pistol. Cross is being held pending a close check of his movements dur Brannon and Brown, detectives, have been assigned to the case.
 Whether robbery was the motive in the assault on Heywaru is not known a s his watch and some small change were not disturbed. This, however, is eXplainable in that the would-be murderer was frightened away from his victim before he could complete his search of Heyward's pockets. This latter theory is more acceptable, the police say, as the Juliano case anc Heywards are almost identical. The weapons in both cases are seemingly identical and the injury to Juliano was beyond doubt done with a ham mer.. Robbery was the object as was proven by Juliano's rifled pockets and the broken watch chain.
 Hayward is under medical care at the Hillman hospital where he was taken by Ridout immediately after he was discovered early Friday morning. Grave doubt is expressed that he will survive.

LUMBER MEN
To PLAY BALL
Ira Grouse and Boynton Com
pany Employees Are to
Meet July 7

There is great interest being taxi
en- by the employees of the Ira
Grouse Lumber company and the
Boynton Lumber company over the
baseball contest between the repre-
sentative plant teams on Saturday
afternoon, July 7. This game will
get under way at 4 o'clock on that
afternoon.
1t is not known whether the in
~terest of the employees is conferred
alone in unfolding the name of their
company, but is has been limited that
the prize for the winning combina-
ton will be located at the end of the
right field foul line and will be safe
ly guarded throughout the nine in
nings of play.
Daily practice sessions are being
held by the two combinations, two
and fours being more in evidence
than baseball bats on a major league
baseball field. The result of this
contest will depend almost entirely
on the batting strength OF the re-
spective teams.
Although here have been baseball
contests played by the employees Of
the respective lumber companies in
former years, interest has not been
at as high a pitch as it is this year.
A hard job will be had in landing
an umpire who will be satisfactory
for both sides.

BRONX GIANTS ENGAGE
LOCAL B%ALLTOSSERS,
ZIMMERMAN ON HAND

"Heine" Zimmerman, former
New York National league ball
tosser, will play in the shortfield po-
sition for his Bronx Giant combina-

with the visitors in tomorrow's con-
test and Leddy is scheduled to do the
receiving. The remainder of the
lineup of the New York travelling
outfit has not been announced.
The Bronx ~balltosser, Zimmerman
was one of the best all around play
ers in either major league in his day.
He played mostly at third base for
the Giants and also performed with
the Chicago Cub machine. In his
best days he was labeled a fighting
b%alltosser, DESTROYS of making his
opponent assum a fighting spirit in
an effort to make the latter lose
some of his interest in the pastime.
Early this season the Bronx Giants
played at home, but trouble with the
press is blamed for the combination
having to take to the road. The
Bronx Giants also played at home in
other seasons, but last year the for
mer Giant played at the difficult
corner for the Orange A. A. nine.
AS a travelling team the Bronx
Giants have been going at a fairly
good pace and they are confident Of

Perth Amboy, Is: South Amboy, 8.
The above is the score of a game
which was supposed to be a baseball
game but became an endurance on
test before, as the poets say, dark
ness fell over the barren Wonder
land Park diamond. 1t looked as
though the Perth Amboy Indepen-
dent team was in league with an add
ing machine company for the hits
and runs came SO fast that they
were becoming as common as Rus
sian rubles in Dvinsk and the
ers were sending for rowboats to
wade out from under the pencil
shavings which were rapidly cover
ing the ground like one of those
Canadian snow storms which are so
common in the movies.
The locals never hit, run or score
as they did yesterday. If Hoch-
heiser's middle name is speed, he
must use it only on occasions of
state for last night the Crimson and

getting eight hits and six runs in
the eighth.

Wilmer was in extraordinary form as
he caught his best game of the sea-
