GRIST OF THE GRIFFS

Cramer until it seemed that the
ball couldn't stand any more kick
ing. The brutality was shocking.
Even more shocking was the de-
cision that the tap was a hit.
Newsom, it might be said, got
off to a flying start. He gave three
base on balls in the first inning
and generally contributed to his
own troubles. He gave six bases
on balls before he was finished.
After the bhstering heat of
Washington with its thunder
storms and high winds, BoSton's
rain-laden East wind was chilling.
Chapman's hit in the third in
ming was just a common garden
scratch. The ball took a bad hop
away from Pinkey Higgins, who
was set for the play.
Lewis dropped a Texas Lacquer
in short left field, advancing Chap
man to second. It looked very
promising indeed, but nothing de-
Veloped. Myer took three swings
on the ozone, and Stone flied to
Cramer.
Eddie Collins took one look at
Milt Gray at the bat and said:
"That boy never will be able
to steal first base, no matter
how fast he may be-"
Cramer singled in the third and
worked to second on an infield
out by FoxX. McNair then
belted a single to left field which
scored Cramer. McNair became
too ambitious and in seeking to
reach second was run down. Sim
mons to Lewis to Myer to Kuhel
to Myer to Kuhel. Right jolly
while it lasted, but bit trying on
the wind.
Rick Terrell has rejoined the
Boston Red Sox. His injured
hand is healing nicely and he'll
soon be ready to resume catching.
Kuhel twice hit resounding
whacks that were foul by inches.
Then he popped out. Did it
twice, in fact.
There was a band in right field
that played and played and
played. Most of the time it was
flat and off key. But so was the
ball game.
Linke and Gray almost were in
collision in the last of the fifth
frame when Foxx tried a surprise
bunt and raised pop foul. The
ball fell safe.
Marcus almost carried Cecil
Travis back into left field with a
line drive in the fifth inning.
Linke was greatly relieved to see
that ball caught.

Cobb is the father of Mrs. Kin
Hama, whose roadhouse was robbed,
allegedly by Montague and. three
companions.
He is so deaf that District Attor-
ney Thomas Mcdonald had to go
to the witness chair and shout
questions.
On the night Of the robbery, Cobb
said, he wrestled with short
heavy man" who finally won the
bout by getting a blackjack and
smashing him on the head.
The prosecution contends that
the man who wrestled with Cobb
was Montague, who in those days
was known as Laverne Moore.
Montague wore a green sports
suit today and his eyes were alert
and interested although he sat
calmly and comfortable in his chair.
Cobb was unable to point to Mon
tague and say there is the man"
because the bandits were masked
that night. But he did say that
he heard one of the bandits yell for
help, and, according to Cobb, the
words the man spoke were Verne,
Verne. In that way did the prose-
cution try to bind Laverne Moore
to the crime.
Cobb brought into court evidence
of the fact that ne had struggled
against the bandits and lost. He
pointed to wide, white scar across
his forehead and said That's where
I got hit with the blackjack" He
told how he had made repeated
trips to doctor after the holdup
and how his hearing had become i'm
paired because of the injuries he
suffered
"I went to bed about 10 o'clock
that night in the room next to the
river" Cobb said. IT saw a tan, slim
fellow come into my room with a
gun. He tied me up but I grabbed
his mask. He yelled Verne, Verne.
A short, heavy man came into the
room and they tied me together" I"
"Then they left the room?" asked
the district attorney.
"Yes, and I got loose and jumped
out the window ran down toward
another building and knocked on
the door. There was nobody there. I"
"A short heavy man ran after me.
We wrestled and rolled down the
riverbank. When we stopped he
came to the top"
Did the man say anything +"

he yell for blackjack"
"Yes, he did. He hit me with it.

MansIaughter
Ex-CowbOy's Face
Turns White at
Verdict

N. E. "Tex" King was
found guilty of manslaughter
by a jury which heard him
tried on a charge of murder
ing Clayton Franks.
The verdict was returned at 11:30
o'clock Friday morning in an al
most empty court room. Kings ex-
pressionless face became gradually
whittier as he waited for the court
to assemble. Without changing ex-
preston, the ex-rodeo performer
heard the verdict. 1t will send him
to the penitentiary for a term not
to exceed 10 years. Mrs. King was
not in the court room when the
jury entered.
He has yet to face trial on the
second plea he entered in the case,
not guilty by reason of insanity.
His trial on this plea was scheduled
for November l.
The jury took the case at 1920
o'clock Thursday afternoon. The
corridors were crowded with men
and women throughout the after
noon. The crowd was composed OF
many Of the persons who sat in
the court room during the trial
Since a verdict was not reached
by IL o'clock Thursday night, the
jury was put to bed. After they as
sembled Friday morning, they sent
word they wished to ask the court
several questions. Their request was
granted and they returned to the
jury room. Shortly thereafter they
announced they had reached ver-
dict. e
King shot Franks in the King
home Aug. 10 because, he said, he
had lured Mrs. King away from her
home and family. Mrs. King, the
three King children, and Mrs.
Gladys Hearen, Kings housekeeper,
saw King empty his gun into the
heart of the truck driver as he sat
in an easy chair waiting for the
Kings to discuss separate main
tenance agreement.
The sordid details of the romance
between the woman and Franks
were aired in court room packed
with friends of King and the man
whose life he took. Letters from
Mrs. King, photographs of the home,
snapshots of groups containing the
Kings, their children, Franks, and
friends were introduced.
Kings nerve broke Wednesday
and he sobbed on the witness stand
while describing what he termed
his wife's affair" with the truck
driver.

CONTROL PLAN
FOR CROPS

The veteran william E. Borah,
former chairman OF the Senate For

pairing today to oppose the admin
istration's crop control program in
the special session of congress next
month.
He told a crowd of farmers at
Pomona Grange in this little farm
ing community of his native state
last night that "as soon as this
country advertises that 1t is going to
reduce acreage in any world COM

Swallows to
SfarfAnnuaI
Flight on Sat.

MISSION SAN JUAN CAPIS-
TRANO, Cal, Oct. %. UP-Cling-
ing to a mysterious schedule, older
than the memory of the oldest liv-
ing human, the famed swallows OF
this age-old California mission to-
morrow will begin their annual
fall exodus.
The destination selected by the
swallows is as much of mystery
today as it was 100 years ago when
the flights first were noted.
No one knows where the swallows
wing their way when they quit the
adobe shelters which have been pro-
vided for them by the Mission
padres almost since the day the
rtructure was first built 160 years
ago.
Ali what is known is that-oper-
ating apparently on schedule as
true as that of any trans-continen-
tai passenger train--each year on
st. Joseph's day. March 10, the
swallows appear over the Mission in
literal clouds, and swoop to their
nesting places.
And just as faithfully every Octo-
Der 90. San Juan Bay. the swal-
lows desert their summer rests
and leave on the flight to the
land of "no-one-knows-w where"
Sailors have reported having
picked up exhausted swallows
which dropped on the decks OF
ships in midPacific. These birds,
the sailors say, once rested, resume
flight over the watery wates.
