he was driving.
The woman is Frances Kath-
crime Allen. 30 from Binghamton,

when the tragedy occurred.
The shooting occurred in front |

Tho motor OF the car was still run
ming and following the fatal shot
the car swerved dangerously
across the street and careened to
a stop on the sidewalk.
Police officers running to the !
side of the car discover Fletcher
bleeding prefusely and the woman
sitting limp at his side. He was

PIRATES TO MEET
SLUCCERS AND Ell
FENIX ON SUNDAY
QUINTAN LOPEZ WILL HOLD
DOWN MOUND TOMORROW
IN GAME AGAINST SLUG
GERS, LEAGUE LEADERS
nv JovEa

Quintan Lopez. the boy wonder
of the Pirates baseball club, win
be seen in action again tomorrow
afternoon when he will be sent
out to do mound duty against the
Sluggers, who are leading the
league by a very close margin, in
the second game of the City
Leagues scheduled doubleheader.
FL Fenix will meet the Pirates in
the first game.
IL Lopez goes out tomorrow and
defeats those Young Singers
again after the Pirates had beaten
Ell Fenix in the initial contest,
then the Pirates crew will take
the lead in the legaue and prob
ably keep it.
But, of course, the Sluggers
cannot see that outcome of tolnor-
rows game. Manager Gonzalez is
bringing his team in condition to-
morrow and if his predictions
prove to be correct the great GUM
tan viii be sent to the showers be-
fore the game is we'll under way.
The Singers management is
considering giving Howard Gates
an opportunity of proving himself
pitcher by sending him to do
mound duty against Lopez and his
gang. Gates pitched a nice game
of ball last Sunday against FL
Fenix. Slugger fans, however,
are of the opinion that the Pirates
will prove to be too much for
Gates and are hoping that Robert
Bethel will be chosen instead.
/ Regardless of how you take it
both games scheduled for tomor-
row will be interesting.
