q few minutes prior to his testimony
after Deputy Richard M. Rosenberg
testified scientific tests disclosed blood
on McAffee's trousers, shoes, a hand
kerchief found in his basement quar-
ters and on the back of one hand.
DR.. Rosenberg said that when the
solution used to test for blood was ap-
piled to the heavy iron furnace shaker
allegedly used in the Staying, the re-
action was positive all over the shaker
indicating it had been covered with
blood When detectives found the
weapon it was clean, in sharp con-
tract to other articles in the dusty
basement, witnesses had testified.
Traces Of Blood.
Scrapings from under McAfees fin
ger nails disclosed traces of blood as
we'll as fabric similar to that of the
dress worn by the slain woman, DR.
Rosenberg told the jury.
McAfee repeated today the story
he told yesterday in the absence OF
the jury while the question of admis-
stability of his alleged confession was
being determined. The statement by
McAffee was admitted yesterday.
The colored man. who said he was
70 years old, testified he and Mrs
Anderson drank together during most
of the day the murder occurred He
said he met her through her husband
who died last December in Mount
Alto Hospital.
The only thing out of the way
she would do was drink with me-" Nc
Affee declared. She was perfect
lady in every way"

Detective Sergt. Joseph w. Shimor
told the jury late yesterday that Nc
Affee was not accused by investigator;
of numbering Mrs. Anderson unit
early on August %.
When finally 1 asked him if HI
killed her. he buried his face in hi,
hands and said. This is terrible; die
it, but she was chasing me with ar
ice pick" Shimon declared.
The officer quoted McAffee as say.
ing Mrs. Anderson chased him init
the basement, threatening him with
an ice pick, and that he snatched VI
the shaker and followed her back up
stairs and into her apartment. Shi.
mon said McAffee told him he foune
Mrs. Anderson lying down and that h,
hit her on the head with the heavy

~ ILL TERRY, once beaten and
- subsequently criticized as an
All-Star general for regarding
~ the affair as a gaudy pageant
Of diamond stars, grimly threw his
chips on the line today and an
nounced to his National Leaguers
and to the world that he would stand
pat.
Shortly before the curtain rose to-
day on the 1887 extravaganza at Grit
fifth Stadium, Terry called meeting
OF his stars and reliably was reported
to have said that IF all goes we'll my
starting lineup will stick in the game
to the end"
That meant that, barring neces-
sary shift of pitchers every three
innings. Terry intended to string along
with whom he regards as his best
players, even if it means that half of
his squad will not be glorided what
soever outside of batting practice
appearance.
The National League last year
stopped its habit of recklessly parading
all its stars long enough to smash a
three-year American League reign.
Manager Charlie Grimm, ordered to
win at any cost, tossed aside the
affairs clinging mantle of pageantry
in Boston and started a team COM
posed of four Cardinals, four Cubs and
one Philly.
No representative National League
team was Grimm's, but it was sue
cessful. A 4-to-3 victory registered
over the American League forces
climaXed the experiment.

RANGER.
MEETS|TS RIVALS
Yacht Committee Leaves
Self Open to Grief in
"Post-War" Series.
BY TOM HORGAN.
Associated Press Sportx Writer

n NEWPORT. R. l.. July T.
M Ranger, Harold S. Vanderbilts
undefeated third defender OF
the Americas Cup, today faced
two unsuccessful rivals In what can
not be considered other than postwar
engagements.
Ranger, after eight straight victories,
was named last night to meet T. o. M.
Sopwith's second British challenger,
Endeavour II. In the international
sailing engagement which will open
of here July 81.
1t meant Vanderbilt, who sails a
yacht as shrewdly as he plays q hand
OF bridge, had been assigned for the
third successive time to thwart John
Bull in his sixteenth attempt to recover
an unattractive alteration of silver
smith long dead, which at the present
market value of silver Is worth less
than $50.
Committee Takes Chance.
A FTER naming Ranger the de-
= fender. the Cup Committee of the
New York Yacht Club decided to keep
her in racing trim with as much COM
petition as was available, so they
scheduled four races with Gerard B.
Lambert's Yankee and Chandler
Hovey's Rainbow They announced a
schedule for the balance Of the week.
In sense, 1t was putting the cart
before the horse, for If one of the old
cup campaigners should come to life
suddenly and give Ranger a trouncing
the committeemen's faces should be
ruddier than very ripe tomatoes.
No one who observed the trials be-
lieves that too likely, but the schedule
Is an innovation in cup defense trials.
Scores Clean Sweep.
r ANGER, launched this Spring at
the Bath, Me, Iron Works, won
all the eight preliminary engagements
which were completed.
Hovey took Rangers nomination
good naturedly. said he thought she
should be selected and added he only
took a gamblers chance in sending
Rainbow against her, because he
thought 1t was just possible no faster
boat had been built since Rainbow
was sailed to victory by aVnderbilt
over Sopwiths first Endeavour three
years ago.
He and Lambert were invited to the
Cup Committees meeting at which
Ranger was named, and obviously
neither thought his entry had chance
of winning or they would have asked
to have the trials continued.
Ranger Is the only undefeated class
sloop in the world. Even Sopwith's
new Endeavour II has trailed at a few
finishes abroad.
