stiff competition from up-and-coming

the two leaders were unchanged.
Johnny Frederick's average dropped
II points but the Brooklyn outfielder
still led the National League with 1891

st. Louis Beats PhilIies and
Goes Into Triple Tie
For Third Place
CINCINNATI BEATS GIANTS
Walter 'Huck' Belts Pitches
Braves to Filming VIC
tory Over Cubs
BY HUGH S. FULLERTON, JR.
ASSOCIATED Press Sports Wnter)

With John Leonard (Pepper) Mar
tin beginning to "click" in his new
role as third baseman, the st. Louis
Cardinals are ready to start rolling
somewhere in the National League.
The Cards needed a third baseman
and Martin appears to be filling the
bill.
There was a real Martin outburst
Friday. Leading the way to 5-3
victory over the Phillies, Pepper
clouted home run, triple, double
and single, scored four runs and
handled eight fielding chances with
out an error. Meanwhile Walker
pitched his first complete game, Civ
ing the Phillies eight hits, of which
a homer and two doubles went to
Chuck Klein.
In Triple Tie for Third
The result put the Cards into a
triple tie for third place with the
Boston Braves and the Cincinnati
Reds. Each has 500 average.
Cincinnati whipped the second
place New York Giants 8 to 5 when
Ray Kolp stepped in where Benny
Frey fell down and stilled the Giants
bats with three hits in the last 2-3
innings.
Boston chalked up a to 1 11-in-
ming victory over the Chicago Cubs,
thanks to the efforts Of Walter
(Huck) Belts, durable sophomore
hurler. Belts pitched eight-hit ball
In duel with Charley Root and
singled in the 18th to start the win
ming rally.
Pittsburgh's Pirates increased their
lead by taking another decision from
Brooklyn, 4 to 2.
Rain and cold weather wiped out
the three-game program in the
American League. Scores by innings:

"It's the worst weather for the

back 81 years. Won't we ever get

AS President Hickey spoke, the
report came to him that all four

Head Play, One of Favorites,
Sold for $4,000 and Win

Louisville, KY, May 6.-(P)-The
fortunes OF the American turf, braced
up Saturday with flash of oldtime
color and sporting spirit for another
chapter OF the romance closest to the
nations racing heart-the Kentucky
Derby.
It's the one big race OF the year,
the outcome of which is awaited as
keenly along Broadway as it is on
every main street corner in the United
States.
Since 1875, when 1t was worth only
42,85O to the first winner and drew
10000 followers OF the thoroughbred
1t has become a national institution.
It's award still is worth more than
$4,000 to the winner. It has drawn
the entry of % crack three-year-olds
from the nations leading owners and
breeding farms.
If the crowds were much less over
whelming for Louisville to handle
than in PALMER days. they lacked
nothing in enthusiasm.
The sale Of Head Play for 100000
and a percentage of the colts possible
Derby winnings gave the incoming
thousands fresh food for speculation.
His odds were down to 4 to l, second
choice only to the w. r. Coe entry

Sioux Falls, 8. D., May 6.-(P)-
Records successfully resisted all as
saults Of track and field stars from 40
colleges and high school here Friday,
a raw wind which whipped across the
field hampering the contenders in the
first days competition Of the Dakota
Relays.
Ten finals and IA preliminaries
were run off without any serious
threat to existing marks in the college
section and with only one instance
approaching record time in high
school competition, despite several
hard battles.

North Dakota champion weight man

and shot put by Willert of Iowa teach
ers college. Willert hurled the platter

e. ON T l N u E ID
Commissioner Will
Take Stand Monday
In Custer Hearing

for the contracts given to The Bis
marck Tribune as agents for furniture
manufacturing firms, because they
were the lowest bids offered, in his
judgment. The contracts were COM
pletely fulfilled by the bidders. the
county saved money on the deal and
there was nothing corrupt in the
transaction. he said.
Will Identifies Voucher
Identifying voucher for $9,O45
given in payment for the furniture
Will said the original bid was $4,000
and that 10 per cent deduction by
the bidder, offered In the bid, brought
the amount actually paid to $9,045
This, he said. was less than any of the
other bids offered.
McCurdy's attempts to place in the
records details Of business transacted
between the county and The Tribune
company was based, he said, on the
theory that the acts were not in
themselves wrong but that they tend
ed to show a continuing line Of con-
duct" on the part Of one or more Of
the defendant commissioners with the
effect of favoring The Tribune. No
explanation was offered by him o;
why Will and other members of the
commission not accused in the action
also voted for the deals In question
and no charge was made that this
constituted corruptness on their part.
Sullivan objected to this entire the
DRY on the ground that the law pre-
sumes anyone to be innocent until
proved guilty whereas the prosecution
was attempting to induce the commits
sioner to assume the guilt Of the de-
PENDANTS.
Abern sustained Sullivan's objec-
tons to several offers Of alleged evi-
dence on the ground that the mat
tiers were purely fanciful and specu-
lative" with regard to proving any
thing against the defendants. The
words quoted are Sullivan's.
Admitted as Evidence
After long effort, McCurdy per-
suaded Abern to admit as evidence
a large number Of bills for material
and supplies sold to the county by
The Tribune in 1881. He contended
that, at the time specified, the Quick
Print had a contract providing that

AGED N. d. WOMAN DIES

Grand Forks, N. D.. May 6.-R)-
Mrs. James Laverty, Sc, Of Grand
Forks, who heard Abraham Lincoln
deliver his Gettysburg address and
shook hands with him afterward, died
here Friday night. She had resided in
this vicinity for 81 years. Born in
Arol county, Maryland, she lived 10
miles from Gettysburg during the
Civil war. Later she was in the mil
linery business in Pennsylvania, but
her store was swept away by the
JohnstoWn flood.

1t should furnish these supplies and
that the bills were evidence of con-
tract violation by Solder and Swanson,
even though other members of the
commission also approved the bills
and the purchases were made by var
ious county officers and employees.
These exhibits had frequently been
rejected by Abcrn as not pertinent
and upon the ground that the con-
tract called for specified items at
stated prices, whereas the materials
sold by The Tribune were not listed
IN the contract. Upon McCurdy's
contention that a 35-cent item for
leather tabs should have been sold by
the Quick Print. however. Abern fl
nally admitted the bills in evidence.
He explained as he did so that they
would be received flor whatever value
they might have for proving q course
OF dealing between the respondents,
or some OF them, and The Bismarck
Tribune company" He said they
might, somehow or other, show in
tent" on the part Of the accused COM
missioner to favor The Tribune com.
SeNAAJ "AcAA NOAAAty NOol1ICAo.
He specified, however, that they
could not be construed as the basis
for additional charges. The charge
OF Which the defendants are accused
is that they violated the law in vot-
ing to extend for one year, at q 10
percent reduction, a contract for
printing and supplies which the
county had with The Tribune COM
pany for the year 1882.
Firm Made Survey
McCurdy's main point in raising
the question of the furniture contract
was that, when the courthouse was
under construction, contract was
entered into with a furniture manu-
featuring firm, represented locally by
The Tribune, whereby it surveyed the
building and provided plans and
specifications for the furniture need
ed. The same company bid on the
furniture. The survey contract pro-
vided that, if the company received
the contract, the survey was to cost
the county nothing. If it did not re-
ceive the contract it was to get 10
per cent of the low bid for its serv-
ices. The contract in question was
voted for by other members of the
commission in addition to Solder and
Swanson. Tiedman not being q men,
Der at that time.
McCurdy contended that this gave
the firm making the survey an op-
portunity to specify its own kind Of
stock, thereby giving it an advantage
in the bidding.
Under examination by Sullivan,
Will said he saw nothing wrong with
the contract, that it was entered into
openly and he did not see how any,
one could infer corruptness or dis
honesty in connection with it.

WASHINGTON-(FP) ~ Demand
for the six-hour day and five-day week
without reduction of pay was reiterat-
ed at the Washington convention of
the A. f. of L., after impassioned
speeches by Pres. William Green and
Chairman E. J. Gaynor of the shorter

tion to fight for compulsory legisla-
ton at the next session of congress to
establish these conditions by law was
shelved with the recommendation that
the A. f. of L. cooperate with NRA
in making the work week as short as
possible.
The government was urged to set
the example for industry by establish
ing the 30-hour week without reduc-
ton of pay for its employees. "We
must either shorten the working week
to conform to our national productive
capacities or be prepared to maintain
a permanent army Of unemployed
