DEATH PENALTY
MAY BE ASKED
OF GIRL BANDIT

LAGRANGE, Texas, Dec. 5 R--
Prospective jurors were asked by
prosecuting attorneys in the trial
here today of Mrs. Rebecca Bradley
Rogers, %, former University of Texas
student, if the fact that the defend
ant is woman would prevent them
assessing the death penalty.
Mrs. Rogers is charged with rob-
berry by firearms, the extreme penalty
for which upon conviction is electro-
clltion. She is being tried on charges
in connection with the daylight rob-
berry of the Bank of Buda, at Buda,
a small Texas town near Austin, a
year ago. The case came here on a
change of venue from San Marcos.
Defense attorneys also tested the
veniremen on their attitude toward
the defense of insanity and were
asked if they would convict if there
was a possible doubt of the sanity
of Mrs. Rogers. Her attorneys have
said they would plead occasional m
sanity for their client as a defense
Three veniremen were examined
before the first juror was obtained
today. He is j. j. Majovsky, a

BASEBALL CLUB
FROM BOLTING

DALLAS, Texas, Dec. 5 P-E Efforts
of the Tulsa and Oklahoma City
clubs to bolt the Western league
and join the Texas circuit were
finally blocked here tonight when the
national board of arbitration ruled
the territory belongs to the Western
league and cannot be given to the
Texas league.
The national board ruled on the
question after representatives of the
Western league had spent many hours
in conference with the Oklahoma and
Tulsa rnagnates in an effort to reach
a compromise. When this failed, the
question was thrown before the board
this afternoon and that body imme-
diately settled the, question in favor
of the Western league.
The annual meeting of the Amer
ican association was marked by har-
mony throughout. President Hickey
reported that 100000 people clicked
the association turnStiles in 1927, and
that three parks are to be enlarged
this winter
The convention adopted a new con-
stitution, the outstanding clause OF
which is designed to operate against
major league acquisition of associa-
ton clubs. The convention unani-
mously adopted provision that the

pionship for st. Louis. Hornsby cheer
fully signed a 4O,000-a.year contract
to play with New York. 1t was known
then, but apparently with not as much
force as 1t Is known now, that he had
been allowed to buy shares In the st.
Louis club during his term as man
ager. 1t was obvious that he could
not be allowed TO play in New York
while being the second largest owner
of the St. Louis club. And now comes
the rub.
Hornsby paid $40, 1000 for his stock.
He has announced that it is for sale
TO any one in the world for $l2S,OOo'
The New York club must pay him his
contract salary, but the National
League has barred him from playing
while remaining part owner OF an
other club. The New YORK elup Is not
going to sit idly by and see its invest
ment made worthless. Hornsby can
not be compelled to sell his own prop
erty at a less price than he thinks 1t
