HOUSTON, Tex, Jan. 22.-Three per

probably the shortest gun battle in
the records Of the police department. 1t
Occurred last night. Five shots were
fired.
+, ter Corrales, city detective. Max
Martinez, restaurant owner, and Juani-
tn Gussman. 25, were the victims. The
fatal shooting occurred On Congress

rooming house.
The girl. Martinez's swet theart, died
at her lovers hand, and before the
smoke had lifted. shots. had been ex-
changed between Martinez and Cor
rales, and both were on the floor fatal
ly wounded.
Jesse Carras, aged Mexican. believed
to have b-en the only witness to the
affair, said that Corrales was talking
with him, while Martinez and the girl
were talking beyond thin partition.
The girl had been seated on stoo,
in the cold drink stand which occupied
part of the room. Martinez asked for
a bottle of soda. Carras heard her tell
him there was none After that their
voices dropped. Suddenly a shot rang
out. and Corrales drew a gun and leap
cd around the partition. He was con-
fronted by Martinez across the pros
trate body of the girl. The guns Of
both men blazed at the same moment.
Each fell to the floor.
IT was from Carras that police learn
od of tho lnyo affair hptwppn Martinez
and the girl. They had been .estranged
for some time, he thought, but believed
them to be on friendly terms.

WILL GET
NEW FACES IN
LINEUP
TurnstiIes Grow Rusty as
Frisco Stars Are Kept
intact

The San Francisco club is max
ing a splendid job of regaining the
championship of the Pacific Coast
League, but the fans done seem
to appreciate the all-round bril-
lance of the Seals. The fact that
some of the turnstiles are growing
rusty is making the owners of the
club do some hard thinking and
they have decided to tear the works
apart in the fall and present some
new faces in 1925.
AS a result the San Francisco
club is about to place its stars on
the market. Among these are Hal
Rhyme, the shortstop; Paul Waner,
the outfielder; Marty Griffin, pitch
er, and Gene Valla, outfielder. If
Doctor Strub and his associates be-
come reasonable they should have
no trouble in disposing Of the men
at fairly high prices. Several clubs
are ready to take Rhyme and
Waner il the price is right.
Waner is the sensation of the
Coast League. The Oklahoman is
hitting for 400 and shows no sign
of letting down. Major league
scouts have been rushed to the far
West to look the young man over,
and at least one of the ivory
hunters has sent in a glowing re-
port.
Waner came to San Francieco
two years ago from Ada, Okla, for
$4,000 and almost got his release
the first week of the season. Poor
Dots Miller, since gone West, /"
was manager Of heh seals at the time
and insisted that Waner would
make good. Miller was a real
prophet.

an aggressive, up-and-at- 'em style Of
play has done it.
The pitchers, atly abetted by the
cagey veteran catcher, Ray Schalk,
and a smart younger receiver in the
person of Clyde Grouse, have sur.
passed themselves.

no mistake about it," Harris said
today, and added: TON is in one
of those slumps that all ball play
ers experience. He'll probably be
right when we need him most.
Getting back to the game, the
Griffs had breaks with as well az
against them. Errors helped them,
too, nightly. Bluege and Peck
singled in succession In the fifth,
Bluege stopping at second.
Ruel grounded to First Baseman
Lou Gehrig, who, attempting q
force play on Bluege at third,
threw the ball over Dugan's head.
Oswald scored. and Peck got to
third. The Rajah trotted home after
Rice flied to Meusel and put the
Griffs ahead. The Yanks tied the
score in their half of the fifth,
which Hoyt started with a single.
Wanninger singled him to second
and both runners advanced on Du.
gan's infield out Two were ont
when Combs singled TO left. Hoyt
scored on this hit and Wanninger
tried to count, but a perfect throw
by Goslin nailed him at the plate.
1t was The second time Hoyt had
crossed the platter. In the third
he dumped a Texas Lacquer single
over second, was sacrificed, took
third on Dugan's out and Tailed on
Combs one-baser.
In the sixth session the Griffs
went ahead a second time. Judge
smacked a double to right and
GOslin followed with q single,
Judge stopping at third, but for
only q moment. He dashed home
when Meusels return Of the
GOOse's bingle passed through
both HOyt and Rengough.
Thus the Griffs were leading,
and, with Gregg looking better and
better as the game progressed, a
victory seemed assured. Shanks'
homer came as a bolt from the
blue.
The Griffs made determined ef-
forts to win in the tenth, eleventh
and twelfth. In each Of the extra
frames they got at least two run
ners on. Once again it seemed they
had the game when they scored in
the twelfth. Rice beat out q bunt,
took second on Bucky Harris sacri-
flee and counted on Judges biff
to center.
1t was a snappily contested game
all the way with both clubs showing
lots Of fight, a quality, 1t Is said,
which has been sadly leaking in the
Yanks until just lately.
They now have the edge in this
series which ends today. The
Griffs must win to break even.
