Kennedy sifted every cubic
inch of debris in the Hall kitchen
with sieve, The Times has
learned, and one of his findings
was the girls finger, which had
been blown off when she opened
the package containing the bomb
and disguised as a box of candy.
The condition of the finger, to
which tendons reaching almost to
the wrist were connected, may
help explosive experts to determine
the type of bomb and detonator
which was used. This, in turn,
may lead detectives investigating
the case to a clearer solution of
who manufactured the bomb.
The autopsy showed that the
index and middle finger Of the
girls hand had been blown off as
she opened the box. In addition.
she was badly mutilated about
the body. No trace of the middle
finger was found. according to
what information The Times
could obtain.
Lawrence Leroy Brady has
been held in the Marlboro Jail

MINOR LEAGUES
STILL KICKING
ABOUT DRAFT
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

I LOS ANGELES, Dec. II. UP)-A
car of the minor leagues to rule
over the three Glass AA circuits
! looms as a possibility as an after
math of recent feud between the
majors and the minors.
DR.. Charles H. Straub, president
Of the San Francisco club, is one
of the leading advocates for a COM
missioner to guide the Pacific Coast
League, American Association and
International League much after The
capacity that Judge K. NJ. Lands
has served organized baseball since
the BLACK Sox" scandal of 1919.
Minor league baseball men gener-
ally agree that they will have to
band together more closely than
ever if they are to survive any kind
OF fight with the majors.
j. NJ Patrick, president of the Los
Angeles club, for one, believes that
it is suicide for the minors to engage
in war with the majors.
I'VE need the majors more than
they need U.S." said Patrick. with
out the draft the three big minors
cannot hope to maintain their high
standard of play"
Dr. Strub takes the opposition
view that the three Glass AA leagues
can develop and retain their players
and in time rival the major leagues
in playing strength.
Among those mentioned in con-
nection with the establishment OF
commissioner for the three big MI
nors is William H. Mccarthy, former
president of the Pacific Coast
league.
Too Much Politics
William Wrigley Jr., owner of the
Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles An
gels, regrets the whole controversy
between the majors and minors.
Baseball is too wholesome to be
kicked around by these kind of argu-
ments. There's entirely too much
politics in baseball, anyway, espe-
cially the coast league"
Despite the breach between the
majors and minors, Wrigley says
that he will not allow it to prevent
him from completing the deal
whereby Los Angeles will receive
nice players for Pitcher Ed Baecht,
the iron man of the minors sough:
by the Cubs.
I'm willing to abide by any rul-
ing made by the majority" COM
mented Wrigley, but draft or nc
draft, I intend to complete the deal
for Baecht."
In connection with the split be-
tween the majors and minors the
question comes up as to whether
they will play exhibition games
against each other if their differ
! ences are not settled.
, The three clubs training on the
West Coast, the Cubs, Pirates and
Tigers, all have a number OF games
scheduled with Pacific Coast league
clubs.
