Aver Whiskey Cause Tragedy---Wnesses Testify.
Especial by John Mitchell, Jr)

Eddie Miles, colored, was shot and
killed between the hours of II and l
o'clock Sunday morning by Officer
Leber, who was attempting to arrest
him upon the charge of reckless drlv-
ing. Miles car crashed into wagon
of a white farmer. 1t is alleged that
he ran away from the scene of the
accident, where no one was injured.
When cornered by officer B. o. Leber,
he got the upper hand of the police
man, took his club from him and be-
gan belaboring him with it, causing
a slight wound in the officers head
and on his finger. Miles was slightly
taller than the officer, but of slender
build.
Reaches His Revolver.
The policeman succeeded in reach
ing his revolver and, although Miles
was on top of him, pulled the trigger,
the bullet entering the colored mans
breast and puncturing the heart, caus-
ing almost instant death. Eddie Miles
= lived down at Antioch on the River
Road and is said to have been intoxi-
Gated. His funeral took place We'd
nesday at Gilfeld Baptist Church in
Charles City County. Funeral Direc-
tor r. C. Scott had charge of the re-
mains. Coroner James M. Whitfield

fed as follows: Henry Barlow live

IL to . victory over the strong
Cathay team in q; hard hitting con-
test yesterday afternoon.
The Cathay aggregation put up a
determined effort to win BY exhibit
ing some hard fighting and classy

sistent hitting of the Stars was the
main feature of the game, outside of

bascman for the Stars, evcned the
count in return at bat. after being
given first base on balls. Langlois,
pitching for the Stars, allowed four
scattered hits, but when Gained down

MOUND WORK IS
COUNTSIN
PENNANT RACE
Teams With Strongest Pitch.
ing Staffs Are Winning
Games at Present
(By The Associated Press)

Major league teams with the best
pitching are the ones that are get
ting the most victories at this stage
of the pennant races.
Strong everywhere but on the slab,
the New York Giants turned away
from Cincinnati with only an even
break after a four-game split with
he cellar-d dwelling Reds. At the
same time the less highly touted
Brooklyn Robins were making the
most Of their pitching strength in a
close duel with the world champion
Cards.
Pitching weakness was demonstrate
ed by two teams at once in the clos
ing game of the Giants-Reds series
yesterday at Cincinnati, which went
to the Reds by 1913 count. OF nine
pitchers who took the mound none
could stop the hitting-a condition,
however, which the ball fan relishes
as it makes for more thrills. The
game had ninth inning rally and
counter rally with each club scoring
three runs in the final frame.
~ isS,sas Split Double Bill
Tighter hurting was seen at St.
Louis where Brooklyn pitching gave
the club half double header with
the Cardinals.
In the first game Grover Cleveland
Alexander demonstrated the cham
pion's own pitching strength by
granting only eight hits for an to
o shut out. in which he bested Petty
and McWeeny. But in the second bin
Doak Of the Robins outpitched Jesse
Haines and allowed but five safeties
in a 6 to l victory. Good pitching
performances were comparatively
numerous. In to 0 white washing
administered by the Chicago Cubs
to the Boston Braves, Sheriff Blake
allowed but five hits and Zachary of
the st. Louis Browns pitched a six-hit
game for his teams third straight
over the Senators, 8 to l.
Ruth Gets Another Homer
The one exception to the rule that
tight pitching wins was the SD vic
tory Of the New York Yankees over
the Detroit Tigers who outhit them.
II to 6. However, one of the half
dozen hits made off Whitehill was
Babe Ruth's seventeenth homer OF
the year with none on and another
was a single by the same gentleman
which drove in the winning run.

RED CHAPM
TO GET CHANCE.
AT TITLE SOON
'Gypped' of Key Fights, He
Trains For Win Over
Finnegan
nv JIMMY POWERS

New York, June 6.-(NEA)-Pull
ing on a pair of hip boots and wading
through the tears spilled by sobby
boxing brethren bewailing the many
and dirty deals given their particu-
lar "uncrowned champeens," we run
smack into Rel Chapman.
Red Chapman has been to boxing
what Bobby Cruickshank has been to-
golf-except that Bobby this year
came into his own. Maybe 1927 will
be as kind to Mr.. Chapman.
Has Hard Luck
Il seems that this Chapman fellow
has been pasting contenders right and
left for 10 these many years but never
came within a whisper of wearing
the featherweight crown he SO
ardently sighed and slung mitts for.
His biggest disappointment came
last year when he was finally match
cd with the current king, Louis
"Kid" Kaplan. Red trained and
trained for the big shot of his life.
And then what did Mr.. Kaplan the
4 KID do! He resigned right in his
face. Said he could no longer make
the feather weight and was going up
the scale a notch, leaving, the very
crimson Mr.. Chapman positively pink
with chagrin.
But this is another year and spring
comes and finds Signor Umberto j.
Fugazy affixing signatures to two
contracts, one for Honey Boy Fin
negan and the other, Red Chapman.
Fight June 8
They will fight it out June 8 at
Ebbets Field over IL rounds, unoffi-
cially, for the long untenanted feath-
err throne.
The speed with which both Finne-
gan and Chapman agreed to fight it
out is commendable. Both have q
claim to recognition as outstanding
challengers and each has shown a
Willingness to do what he can to
strengthen his. claim to the 12G-pOund
title. 1t is a iii Of natural"
Under the conditions it is safe
wager that whoever comes through
will be accepted by the public as the
unofficial champion Of the class. The
public is funny that way--it is al
ways for the fighters who have the
confidence in themselves to take a
chance.
Chairman James A. Farley of the
Boxing Commission has announced
that the New York board will not
crown the victor new champion Of the
world.
Doesn't Change Title
Should Chapman, win. title lineage
will be kept in the same name.
There are three fighting Kaplans,
to wit: Louis "Kid" Kaplan, form
er holder of the scepter; K. O. "Phil''
Kaplan and Morris Kaplan.
Norris Kaplan's nom de guerre is
Red Chapman.
