ENSACOLA, Fla, March a.
- There is no truth in the report
that Bill Terry bought Sam
= Leslie from Booklyn because
he plays the banjo.
"It was more on account Of my
legs" explained the manager Of the
Giants. II am tired Of playing first
base and I wanted good guy to fill
in for me some of the time"
But Leslie does play the banjo?
"Yes," admitted Mr.. Terry. Sam
is q pretty good banjo player"
And that makes him something of
q social asset?
mo doubt, no doubt" said
Mr.. Terry. "And he can sing
harmony, and that comes in
handy. But 1 got him on ac-
count Of my legs"
"You don't think, do you, that ]
go around buying ball players because
they can do card tricks, or play the
harp, or sing tenor or baritone? That
amt business"
Through as Daily Performer.
IN ADDITION to which Mr.. Terry
= can fake a very sound tenor or
baritone himself. He can sing the
lead. He really doesn't need much
assistance in the formation of quar-
tette. In view Of all this, we must
put the musical theory in mothballs
for the time being and face the fact
that William Terry, the greatest
fielding first baseman since Sisler, is
all through as a daily performer.
But what will that do to the
Giants?
1T probably will help u.s." said Mr..
Terry. I'm not resigning from the
club, see? But when my cams are
aching, and when my batting eye
goes sour, which it does once in a
while, it will help the club to have a
strong young fella in there who can
hit, like Leslie"
About the pennant?
I'm not saying well win it,"
said william, and it obviously
panied him not to say so.
There's three tough clubs against
us. But I think we're a good bet.
Wen be better than last year"
Mr.. Terry does believe the Giants
will win the pennant, If your corre-
spondent is any judge. He just hates
to get out on limb. In the Spring
Of 1884 and 1885, he predicted very
firmly that the Giants would romp in.
They didn't. Mr.. Terry still has faith
in them and himself, but he doesn't
Ike to see his faith exposed to ridi-
cule in the Autumn. This time he is
taking no chances.
THE Cubs are champions until we
beat EN-" said Mr.. Terry. With a
strong effort, he refrained from add
ing, "and we will"

Ad Wardlow, Dayton (Ohio) Negro,
gained the knockout in the first

handed the pennant to the st. Louis
Cardinals in a silver hnger-bowl when
he gave them Leroy Parmelee. You'll
recall that Parmelee, the big right
handed stuff pitcher, was traded for
Second Baseman Burgess Whitehead.
The boys figure that, If Parmelee wins
the flag for the Cards, Mr.. Terry's
ears will turn bright red and give
Of smoke.
Terry Bears Burden Patiently.
THIS is just another burden for Mr..
Terry to bear. He bears 1t patti

II know that Parmelee has lots Of
stuff" said Bill, ''and know that he
may help st. Louis. But what can ]
do about it? He wasn't helping me-
He blew up with bang when I needed
him most. And I had to have a Sec
ond baseman quick.
$50 1 gave away a problem
pitcher and got man who will
make my infieid look good all

1t would be right in the cards fol
Parmelee to help snatch a flag from
his former boss. Fate is always STEP
ping up and slapping Mr.. Terry in
the teeth like that. Two years age
he asked somewhat uncivil question
about the Brooklyn Dodgers-were
they still in the league?-and the fol-
lowing Autumn the Brooklyn Dodgers,
with yelps Of ghoulish glee, deprived
him of the pennant. Last year it was
Fred Lindstrom, Terry cast-off, who
spark plugged the Cubs in the drive

recognizance late last week after
his arrest on a battery complaint
signed by Gardenia Phipps, Negro,
again was arrested by Ell Centre

and disturbing the peace.
The scene Of the second arrest
was the Phipps home where the
woman was said to be recuperat-
ing from a beating given her by
johnson. Residents of the eastside
were said tc' have appealed to po-
lice for protection against johnson
because he threatened to kill the
Phipps woman.
The case against Johnson was
continued until Tuesday. He
pleaded not guilty to the charge

head of the SRA in this county.
The relief case load at present is
500 and December 7, 1885. it was 900.
AS a result of the decreased case
load, Fitzer said, such large staff
was unnecessary. The cuts are ne
cessitated also by plan for keeping
administrative costs close to 10 per
cent of the total cost spent by the
SRA. Simplified procedure also
helped make the cut possible, Fitzer
said.
Almost all of the former SRA en-
ployes now are employed in private
employment, he said, very few of the
number being connected with SRA

ENTIRE HOPES
upon PARDON
Asks Counsel To
Appear Before
Court

TRENTON, N. j., March
%. (UP) = Bruno Richard
Hauptmann hopes the state
court of pardons will re-
consider its denial of his
plea for life.
He has asked his counsel to ap-
pear before the court when it meets
Tuesday and ask its members to
spare him from the electric chair to
which he must go week from to-
morrow, unless something presently
unforeseen develops.
The court of eight members, in
Guiding Gov Harold G. Hoffman,
has power to commute the death
sentence to life Imprisonment or
even to free condemned persons.
The court denied Hauptmann's plea
for communication several months ago
and it is not considered likely to re-
verse itself now if new application
is made.
Hoffman insisted he had no in

blocked, C. Lloyd Fisher, Haupt
mann's chief counsel, is expected to
appear before Justice Thomas w.
Trenchard, who presided at Flem-
ington, and ask him to grant new
trial ON the basis cf fresh evidence
But it is doubtful If Fisher has any
authentic new evidence available or
he would have gone before Trench
ard long before this.
Meanwhile, DR.. John F. tJafsie)
Condor, the ransom intermediary,
appeared unwilling to go to Trenton
from his Bronx home for question
ing by Hoffman concerning alleged
discrepancy in his trial testimony.
Hoffman, on the other hand, seemed
unwilling to go to the Bronx or to

proposals designed by Fuehrer
Adolf Hitler to advance the pow

Germany's answer, the spskes-
man said, was in the stage of
final drafting. 1t would reject, he
said, all thought of a demilitarized
zone on German soil alone and
of supervision by an international
commission of foreign police
troops. But, he emphasized, it
would not give an unqualified no
to the entire document and would
definitely leave the way open to
negotiations.
Hitlers aim was understood to
be to preserve German sovereign
ty and to prevent the ringing of
Germany by military alliances.
