KIMBLE OFFERS
ALIBI DEFENSE
Theory That Sink Died of
Accident Also Advanced.
Bu Times Special

BD Times Special
DELPHI, Ind, Jan. 4. Lloyd
Kimble is fighting a charge of the
first degree murder of Daniel Sink,
"a, with an alibi and theory that
the aged man was a victim of ac-
.cidental death by fire in his home
last Aug. "a.
Defense testimony is being con-
tinued in Carroll Circuit Court to-
day along the two lines. No oppor-
tunity to discredit Mrs. Jeanette
Taylor, the States principal witness
is being overlooked.
There is no indication today of
when Kimble will take the stand
and apparently predictions when
the trial was resumed Tuesday that
the case would be in the jurys
hands late this week were in error.
as the defense has yet to offer the
greater portion of it's evidence.
Defense witnesses heard Tuesday
included Earl Salisbury, II, a
neighbor of Sink, who testified the
old man was addicted to drinking
and describee the manner in which
Sink started fires by using coal oil.
Andrew Wise testified that at the
time Mrs. Taylor said KimbIe was
with her, threatening her if she told
about Sinks death, he was with q
threshing crew of which Wise was a
member.
George M. Frost and Mrs. Nathan
Taylor, the latter the mother of
Jesse Taylor, husband of the States
chief witness, were the last persons
on the stand before the State rested.
They testified Taylor was a sound
sleeper. This was in relation to the
statment of Mrs. Taylor that on the
night Sink died, Kimble came to her
home and awoke her as she lay be-
side her husband in bed, but that
Taylor was not awakened.

MT. Mack, beginning the 2Sth year of his reign as manager of the Ath- letics, sees tighter American league race in 1928 and figures every club. including his own. has made great strides in strengthening it's team.
 The Athletics made two trades bringing Outfclder Bing Miller back to Philadelphia and adding Ossie Orwall. Milwaukee phenom without apparently detracting from their strength.
 Not only does Mack believe the Athletics will be stronger from a playing standpoint next season, but he figures Washington. with young pitchers and stronger than ever. as one of the most dangerous teams in the circuit Also, he has considera- ble respect for the pitching prowess of the Chicago White Sox
 With slight remodeled baseball machine. the Athletics will enter the 1928 American league pennant race with their hopes wrapped up in youth.
 But two switches have been made in the ensemble that started at a gallop, weakened in mid-season and then flashed through as belated run- ners-up to the champion Yankees last year.
 The changes effect first base when Joe Hauser, back from Kansas City. will plug up big gap. and left field which will be guarded by Bing Miller, traded to St. Louis in June, 1926. and brought back in trade for Pitcher Sam Gray. few weeks ago.
 Manager Mack has discarded most of his veterans. Zack Wheat, Baby Doll Jacobson. Ty Cobb and Chick Galloway have departed, although Cobb may return. if he and Mack can agree on a large cut in salary.
 Much of the Athletics baseball fu- ture depends on the ability of Joe Hauser at first base. One of the lead- ing first sackers until he broke his right knee cap in the spring of '25. Hauser has spent the past two years regatning use of the damaged knee.
 The Athletics spring lineup will be Hauser. first base: Bishop. second base; Jack Boley. shortstop and Sammy Hale, third base. Their aver age age is only 2s years and they have played together long enough to know each others habits.

TANKS PLANNING FOR THE FUTURE
Purchase of Cl,d Keystone
 Combination Is Announced

New York. Jan. : N-Ths New York Yankees are looking to the future when some of tho coSs in the machine that ran roughshod over the rest of the American league last summer become . bit rusty. Replacemeats were added yester. day when announcement was made of the purchase for 1923 delivery of the crack Keystone combination of Lyn Lary and Jimmy Reess of tL Oakland Pacific Coasts league c1up.
 Unohficially 1t was understood that these two youngsters will cost the Yankees $160,000 in cash and play CTS. That sum would represent . record outlay by the Yankees for any one deal. Tho $135.O00 they handed the Boston Red Sox for Babe Ruth was the previous high water mark.
 Just how tho two Coast league stars were to 1t into tho lineup, was puzzling Yankee baseball followers. Shortstop Mark Koenig and Second Baseman Tony Lazzeri now do what Ao " pO OOuO dIVuIlO LIl6 hcy8IOIlo sack just about as we'll as any pair in the big leagues. In addition both are young and should show no signs of slowing down for some years. Dugan. who grows no younger. Is the one doubtful member of. the Yankees tnfield and another year may see Miller Higgins confronted with the problem of filling hole at third base. Reese or Lary, or both. may break into the lineup If such | situation develops.
 Reese. who is 22, set a new Coast league fielding record for second basemen last year when hs accepted 1.273 of the chances that came his way. Lary. the shortstop who has just reached his majority. also is strong afield and both are hard. timely hitters although neither rates among the 300 batsmen.

Chicago, Jan. S LP-A tirade against Jack Dempsey for "unethi- car' boxing methods was made last night by Paul Prehn. chairman of the Illinois boxing commission under whose regulations Dempsey sought unsuccessfully last September to win back the heavyweight title he lost to Gene Tunney.
 Dempsey, said Prehn, addressing the Illinois Society of Engineers. docs not know the true meaning of sportsmanship." He has been known throughout boxing circles for years, Prehn said. as "one of the trickiest fighters"
 In Prehn's opinion, Dempsey did not win his fight with Jack Sharkey.
 "Sharkey was licking him." Prehn said, "and Dempsey had repeatedly fouled him. Sharkey was never out when he went down, nor was Tunney out when he went down in that seventh round at Soldier Field"
 The commission chairman explain ed the Hong count" when 8 request was made from the audience of en- gineers for whom Prehn had been presenting program of boxing and wrestling bouts.
 After the official count of three. Tunney could have gotten up.'' Prehn said. At six or seven he was wide awake. If Dempsey had been allowed to remain in the near cor ner he would have attempted to hit Tunney as he came off the floor. just as he has done in bouts with Firpo and others. He got away with 1t be- fore. and thought he could get away with it again."

 FOR AGED FIGHTERS
Would Have Five Per Cent of

 II have been thinking of the poor fighters who pass away in poverty said Sharkey. as he gave g sparring partner a rest. What . finish some of them have had. propose to sug- gest to Tex Rickard that ha set aside g. certain percentage of all cham pionship gate receipts regardless of the division to establish 2 fund for unfortunate fighters.
 "The time to lend assistance is when these unfortunates are alive and not dead. If I am named Tun- ney's opponent will try to get Rickard and Tunney to agree that a certain percentage be set aside for such funH
 T will gladly bear my share. A per cent fund on a $2.000, 900 gate would insure S100.000. Adding to 1t all the time would soon bring enough to have Q home and a hos- pital erected"
 Jack though that William Null doom, New York boxing commission CT, and Eugene Buckley of the Mas sachusetts commission would make good trustees for the fund.
