APPEAL
By International Nsws service.

BY International News Service
Los ANGELES, June 27.--De-
tense and prosecution will sum up
their cases this afternoon in trial of
Dorothy Mackaye. actress. who is
charged with seeking to gloss over
the manner of her husbands death.
Ray Raymond, Miss Mackay's hus-
band. died after a savage fist fight
with Paul Kelly, the actress sweet
heart.
Kelly Is now under one tosten-
year sentence for granddaughter. II
Miss Mackaye is found guilty of at
tempting to conceal manslaughter
she will be liable to one to three
year prison term.
The jury will probably have the
case tomorrow.
A complex situation confronts
The jury.
Among the issues involved are
these:
The cause of RaymOnd's death.
The culpabiIity, If any, of the
actress course of action at the
time of her husbands death.
The degree of Kelly's guilt.
The jury in Miss Mackaye's trial
must again sit in judgment upon
Kelly, now waiting action on appeal.
The State is expected to accuse
Miss Mackaye Of concealing the
crime of murder. This Is punish
able by a one to five year sentence.
Concealing the crime of man.
slaughter is punishable by a peni-
Tertiary sentence of one to three
years. In both charges, there is
the alternative of a county jail
sentence in the event Of mitigating
circumstances.
Kelly Dimes With Director
The defense is expected to main
tain that Raymond's death is not
attributable to the beating he re-
cefved from Kelly. Testimony has
been introduced in an effort to
show that Raymond died from
natural causes, and that, IL his
death is assignable to a head in
jury, this might have been in
flicted by fall from his bed.
1t will be contended that Kelly
did not cause Raymond's death, and
therefore there was no crime which
Miss Mackaye can be accused OF
concealing.
Kelly yesterday was allowed to
leave the county Jail in the custody
of a deputy sheriff to clean. up
personal affairs in the event of his
transfer to San Quentin.
He saw friends in Hollywood and
dined with a film director. 1t was
stated he did not see Miss Mackaye.

selves to stating our position upon

purpose being to discuss what
classes and sizes of small naval

sideration at the conference.
The British delegates desire all
classes of naval craft, including
minesweepers and river gunboats,
included in the discussion, while
the Japanese delegates would like
to exclude all ships under TOO tons
displacement. The American dele.
gates have indicated that they con.
slider submarines of 700 tons size
as potential offensive weapons,
and will insist on a lower maximum
tonnage for submarines excluded
from the discussions.
At the press conference today
Hugh Gibson was asked by an
English newspaper correspondent
IL 1t was not for the purpose Of
clearing the American coast az
rum running vessels that the
nited States was demanding parity
with Great Britain In cruiser
strength.
I'VE have other ships for those
purposes" Gibson replied.

Don't die on third.

Don't die on third.
 That is the slogan of the Detroit players this year.
 It means the Tigers will probably attempt more baserunning than any other club in the American league.
 George Moriarty, years ago. as the star third sacker of the Detroit team, created the expression that now dominates the policy of the club.
 The same George Moriarty Is now managing the team. on which he first gained fame as a player. That accounts for the don't die on third" slogan.
 What is more. the same Moriarty practiced what he preached. While not rated as a speed merchant. he was one of the best baserunners in the game. His speciality, however, was stealing home.
 Over a period of two years, Mori- arty on 1T different occasions es- saved to score from third through his own personal efforts. the theft of home. He succeeded in IS out of the attempts. a record that is with out parallel in baseball.
 "I believe would have gotten away with 1t both times I failed. had not the crowd by its yells. tipped it off that I was about to steal.
 Stealing home is no more diff cult than pilfering an yother base. if you pick the spot and get the break" is Moriarty's modest ex- planation.

 Pittsburxh's Pirates today had their backs to the wall in the fight to retain leadership of the National league as tho Cardinals advanced to within half game of the top.
 The victory which cut down the Buccaneers lead and focused eyes of all baseball fans on the bitter bat tic between the champions of 1925 and 1926 went to the Cardinals at Pittsburgh yesterday by to 5.
 Better pitching as we'll as good hitting helped the Cards to this im- portant game, Flint Rhem out steadying the four Pirate hurlers who opposed him. Ray Kremer who tried it last was the only one with much success.
 Two individual stars-one on each team-added glory to records al- ready brilliant when Paul Waner of the Pirates made his tooth hit of the season and Frankie Frisch of the Cards slammed his 99th and stole his 2.nd base. Waner now leads both leagues in hits. being the first 10 reach the century mark. and Frisch tops all rivals in stealing bags.
 Lou Gehrig found chance to make his own 99th safe hit of the season as his Yankees won by to , in their duel with their nearest rivals. the revised Athletics. Ruth was out of the lineup with his knee injury and the home run burden usually carried by him and Gehrig was borne for the day by Combs and Lazzeri, their circuit slams helping to stow away the game.
 Still figuring strongly in the pen- nant races, the Chicago clubs were at least holding their own in third place. The Cubs gained sweet re- venge for a defeat the day before by annexing an II to 4 victory over the Reds, while the White Sox gleaned . z to , victory over the Indians from the pitching of Ted Lyons. only to lose the second half of the double bill by 12 to as the Redskins fell upon two less potent pitchers.
 The doubtful honor of bagging the only shutout of the day went to the New York Giants. Unable to see the slants of Weeping" Willoughby, they dropped the game to the Phil lies by to 0.
 Washington and Detroit, just a jump or two behind the three lead CTS in the American league, both turned in victories.

BERLENBACH SCORES ONE
 ROUND KAYO IN COMEBACK
Former Light Heavyweight Cham pion Finishes Austrian in Impress sive Style.

New York, June 2S R1Scoring a sensational one-round knockout over Charles Rammel, Austrian heavy weight, Paul Berlenbach today was out to prove to the pugilistic world that some of his best fighting days are still ahead.
 It took the dynamite fists of the former light heavyweight champion just two minutes and S3 seconds of fighting in the first battle of his comeback campaign last night to batter his opponent so badly the referee stopped the bout and award ed Berlenbach technical "kayo." The fight was scheduled for ten rounds.
 While Rammel has no impressive ring record he out-weighed Berlen- bach by 15 pounds and to knock him out Berlenbach needed at least something like the power of punch which carried him to a title little more than two years ago.
 In his attempted comeback Der lenbach has youth in his favor. Hs age is 26. Despite his long layoff he weighed in for his fight last night at ITO 1-2 pounds, well within the light-heavyweigh limit.
