automobile, at Seventeenth and
streets.
From that point" Vandoren said.
I'VE have absolutely nothing until Mary
Bakers body was found in the culvert
beside the cemetery. The only thing
the witnesses called by the Government
saw-and all they saw, as far as their
testimony goes-in the girls parked car
was a mans body swaying back and
forth. They could not see his hands.
they could not see his arms. In order
for this case to go to the jury 1t must
be proved that the fatal force was ex-
erted in the District. There is no eU-
dence whatsoever of any such force.
Cites Lack of Identity.
Not one of the witnesses would so
much as attempt to identify Herbert
Campbell as the man they saw in the
automobile with some girl. One would
think that some of these witnesses
would have been asked to 60 to Airing
ton County and view the body and then
identify it as that Of the girl they saw
in the automobile. Since, however, that
hasn't been done, don't believe 1t could
have been done"
.Vandoren added that for the pur-
poses of the motion Justice Adkins
might assume the bullets involved in
the case had been fired from Campbell's
pistol He said he would not be willing
for the Judge to believe, however, that
Campbell held the pistol.
ITO permit this case to go to the
Jury" Vandoren asserted, would mere
ly give the jury an opportunity for spec

relied purely on conjecture. There Is
not a scintilla of evidence to prove

where the girl was killed. Venue re-
mains to be established. For those
reasons, your honor, we ask that you
direct a verdict of not guilty"
In his reply, Collins said that, while
he had the highest regard for Vandoren,
he believed the defense attorney had
based his motion in the main on his
Interpretation Of the facts and not on
the facts themselves"
The prosecutor referred to a section
of the Revised Federal Statutes which
stated a defendant might be brought to
trial in the jurisdiction where the in
jury was committed as well as at the
place where the person died. He said
he would not rely entirely on this law,
because he was merely citing it for the
information of the court.
Holds Latter More Important.
He said another section Of the Fed
eral code lays down the rule that where
there has been any attack from which
death might have resulted the person
responsible for such assault might be
placed on trial in the jurisdiction where
the attack occurred should death result.
The two laws cited we're similar in
several respects, but the prosecutor de-
clared he attached greater importance
to the latter.
Collins said witnesses had testified

with reference to the incident which &C.
CURED in the parked car Of Miss Baker,
that "a mans shoulders worked back
and forth several times and the girls
body was raised and lowered, back and
forward, back and forward, which
say is consistent with the theory of
strangulation. In addition the medical
examination disclosed, as witnesses tes-
titled, the fact that there was an en-
gorgement in the blood vessels about
neck, the direct result of strangula-
ton"
Collins declared he was unable to see
how any one could conceive that Miss
Baker had been playing possum" In
her parked car. '
Would any logical inference sug-
gest anything of consent?" Collins
asked.
"Manifestly not There is ample testi-
mony that the crime was committed
in the District of Columbia, the medi-
cal testimony plus the eyewitness
testimony" Then came the court
ruling.

followers of the national pastime
who live in territory adjacent 20
the national capital are also en-

And they know their baseball.
too, as indicated by some power
full teams they have submitted.
Let's take a glance at some OF
their teams. Here's one from
Frank Norfolk, of Fairfax, Va:
GehFinger, 2b jackson, So
Terry, 1b COchrane, g
Klein, Pf LindstrOm, Sb
simmons, Grove.
Wilson, cf Ferrell,
There's no question about
Simmons for left-field," writes
Norfolk. "GrOve, without a
doubt, is the best pitcher in
either league. Hope and the
Babe think along the same
lines"
George Edmunds, who resides
in Berwyn, Md, has sent along
a strong combination. He says
in part:
"Simmons is the greatest left
fielder i'm the game today; his
ability to hit, run bases and
field are unsurpassed. COch-
rane is a genius in handling
pitchers, a consistent hitter as
well. Here's my team:

Myer, Va, says his team is hard
to beat. He writes:
"My lead-Off man is frankie
Frisch, a good fielder, fast ON
the bases and a good defense

Frank Brewer, of Alexandria,

Peter SkInski, of Accotink,

the Cincinnati Reds traded 10
the New York Giants, as the
second baseman on his team. He
declares:
"CritZ is the answer to a

club has mad q tough time
of it in playing on a regular
diamond, one 1t could call its
''hOme field"
Until reently the school dia-
mond had to be used. Now it
has a field Of it's own. the Blue
Ridge Stadium. to be exact. and
it is situated near enough to the
town not to make it difficult for
the fans to get there and back.
According to Frank Cooley,
sports editor of the Hagerstown
Daily Mail, the Blue Ridge Sta
duim was a thing unthought of
three weeks ago. The HagerS.
town baseball management hit
upon the site at that time. con.
Structed a diamond, grandstandS,
and later the lights for the night
games.
The field was a meadow three
weeks ago. It had deep gullieS
and little hills in it which had to
be Smoothed out. And the actual
playing field had to be skinned
and leveled, all in the building
OF the thing.
The Stadium is the pride of
the team and town now. And
the introduction of night base
ball is the new step toward a
successful baseball town. A
real field to play on, excellent
facilities for the fans in well
built grandStandS, and large
attendanceS are exDeCted to
be the rule for the rest of the
season.
The five legion teams playing
for the regional championship
were high in their praise of the
Stadium. The Washington Spen-
gler Post nine especially liked the
diamond, even though they lost
to Uniontown on it. But it
wasn't the diamond that made
them lose the game, it was their
errectic play, and that's an en-
tirely different story.
The Uniontown club, by the
way, looks good to repeat it's
triumph of last year, Of winning
the regional championship. It
beat down another foe yesterday
in Delaware, % to 0, and has
only Baltimore to meet and de-
feat before the regional title is
theirs. Baltimore advanced to
the finals also yesterday by rout-
ing the Morgantown club Of
West Virginia, 8 to 2.

TEST RRooDER STOVE

One assurance of successful brood
ing season is q reliable brooder stove
that is easy to operate. The brooder
stove should be cleaned thoroughly
and examined at least two weeks be-
fore the time for the chicks to arrive.
A good policy is to start fire in the
stove a few days before this time to
have ample opportunity to make adj
iustments and get the temperature
regulated before the chicks are put in
the house.
A temperture of 95 degrees three
inches above the floor around the
edge of the hover is best when the
chicks are put under the brooder. This
temperature should be maintained for
the first three days, after which it
may be lowered to 30 degrees for a
week and to IS degrees the third week
After the third week from rs to &c
degrees will usually give enough heat
