WytheviIIe
By the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 25.-The

death of the man who had been
a Democratic stalWart and business
leader in Southwest Virginia for
many years
He died at 8 o'clock this morning
at the Hotel John Marshall of pull
monary oedema and a heart all
ment. DR.. William Graham, who
attended him, said the accumula-
ton of fluid within the chest was
the principal cause of death, to
which coronary thrombosis was a
contributing factor.
His career in Virginias public life
had covered two terms in the State
Senate, the Governorship of Vir-
ginia in 1925 and the chairman
ship of the State Board of Educa-
ton. A lawyer, farmer and busi-
nessman as well, he was president
of the Shenandoah Life Insurance
Co., which has headquarters at Roa-
noke.
Attended Reception.
His death came after a busy day.
On Friday he presided at a meet
ing of the Board of Education on
Capitol Hill and then attended the
reception given by Gov and Mrs.
Price for delegates to the Virginia
Education Associations convention
He spent a sociable evening with
friends at the hotel.
AS he came to retire he COM
planned of cold in the chest and
DR. Graham did not at first be-
lieve his condition to be serious.
Later the physician summoned a
colleague and the two of them had
not been long at the bedside be-
fore Mr. Trinkle died.
The funeral will be held in Roa-
noke Monday and burial will be in
Wytheville, his birthplace and the
Wythe County town where he start
ed his law career.
Price to Be Pallbearer.
Active pallbearers at the funeral

bers of the State Education Board
The shock of the death was felt
deeply in the State government
Gov. Price, DR.. Sidney Hall, State
superintendent of public instruc-
ton, and other colleagues of Mr.
Trinkle hastened to the hotel te
offer to Mrs. Trinkle their regrets.
Senator Harry Byrd, at Winches-
ter, summarized the general feeling
OF regret with the statement: "Mr
Trinkle made a notable and last
ing contribution to the progress and
welfare of Virginia He will be
greatly missed in public affairs ano
deeply mourned by his multitude OF
affectionate friends"

Newark Loss in First
Clash Held Tipoff
On Close Race
Johnson Of Rochester
Blanks Champions in
l0-Innine Bottle
BY the Associated Press.

It's still early, of course, to start
blowing whistles. Yet there seemed
to be considerable preliminary evi-
dence on the books today to support
recent contentious that this will be
tough season for the Newark
Bears and a correspondingly better
one for the rest of the Interna-
tional League clubs.
The Bears of 1887, who had run
up 25la game margin at the end
Of the season, got away to q fast
start by winning their first five
games.
The 1898 edition, which was held
to a mere 18-game lead, took the
first four in succession and won II
of its first IL. Even the first New
ark team, the 1884 Domestics of
hallowed memory, beat Allentown
in its opener
But this years crew. going into
action with new material in place
of such sluggers as Charley Keller.
Buddy Rosar. Jimmy Gleeson and
Bob Seeds, opened the latest pen
nant chase by dropping 10 10
inning pitchers duel yesterday to
the Rochester Red Wings. Russo
lost the battle with johnson.
Oddly enough, of the four win
ming teams the only one that got by
without anything exceptional in the
way of pitching were the Montreal
Royals, nov piloted by Burleigh
Grimes. The old spitballer's dis
ciples punched II hits effectively
enough for one 6-run outburst and
1914 drubbing of the Baltimore
Orioles, but their own Kemp Wicker
was combed for 13 safeties and
saved largely by the fact the Orioles
left 13 men stranded.
The hurlers held the upper hand
at Jersey City, where a minor league
attendance record of 45ll2 was set
as the Little Giants dropped 80
verdict to Buffalo's Bisons, and at
Syracuse, where the Chiefs edged
out the Toronto Leafs, So.

Toledo, With Flying
Start in A. A., Has
Twin Bill Today
BY the Associated Press.

~ VAC AS0OSAetSA ASoos
Come rain or baseball weather,
those Toledo Mudhens are wasting
little time in trying to outdistance
the field in the 1899 American As
sociation race.
Undefeated in three games, setting
the team batting pace at .314 and
the home run blasting at five, the
Mudhens called for a double header
today-to make up time lost to the
weather and to put added distance
between them and the field.
To date they have managed right
well. So have their pitchers,
Barnes, Rogalski and Reid all fin
ishing three games without relief.
Yesterday. when Milwaukee threat
ened to choke off the victory splurge,
Toledo uncorked a six-run inning
and triumphed 8 to 5.
In fact yesterday was day for
doing things in big way. Cecil
Dunn had II putouts and an assist
at first base for Toledo. Kansas
City had II runners left on the
bases, tying its own all-time Asso-
citation record, as it bowed before
Columbus, 4 to 0. Herb Hash, Min
neapohs right handler, permitted
only five hits but walked IL India
napols men as the Millers fell, also
by a 4-to-0 score.

Majors Finally
Getting Away
To Hot Start
Three Shutouts Show
Lots of Life Left
In Aging Whips
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer,

eSSA1eSA
This major league baseball season
Is scarcely half a week old and
already has given more tight fits
than shoe store.
The relentless rainmaker cut yes
terday's card to five games, but three
OF these were 20 shutouts, another
was 14-inning, 81 grind and the
NTH was a 5-3 affair. In the 10
games so far only two have finished
with a margin of more than two
runs separating the opposing clubs.
II this proves anything, which over
the long haul ahead may be sub
Ject for contention, it is that there
is a lot of life left in some tough old
pitching wings.
The prize performance yesterday
was three-hit stint by Louis Will
liam Fette, durable 32-year -old
right-hander who bears much of
the Boston Bees hopes on his
chunky frame.
Fette HurIs Three Hitter.
Shattering any doubts that he
could maintain the pace he has set
for two years with Boston, Fette
held Philadelphia's impotent Phillies
to three singles to acquire one of the
seasons first shutouts, 20. To get
it he had to outpitch 38-year-old
Syl johnson and Jennings Poin-
dexter, who shared a 6-hit swat
at the Bees.
Of more sentimental but less in
trinsic worth was the way old Bob
Lefty Grove of the Boston Red
Sox held the New York Yankees to
seven hits to emphasize that, at 80
and starting on his 18th term
under the big top, he still rates with
the best.
But like lot of other good pitch
ing jobs wrecked by the Yankee
powerhouse, Groves blew up in his
face when big Bill Dickey got the
world champions first home run of
the year and Jake Powell tripled
home another score to stop the
Sox. 20.
Red Ruffing, who is IS himself and
big league pitcher for just as long
as Grove, matched his rivals 7-hit
pitching blow for blow and strikeout
for strikeout (five), but everybody
seems to take such efforts by RuRng
for granted.
Sparkles Against Griffs.
George Jasper Caster, who Is near
ing his 30th birthday and has been
knocking around in and out Of the
majors since getting his first trial
with the Philadelphia Athletics in
1884, provided the AS with 4-hit
game which sparkled as bright as
old Connie Mack's eyes in the days
third shutout, 20, against Washing
ton.
Luke Hamlin gave the Brooklyn
Dodgers 7-hit pitching job as they
beaned the New York Giants, So.
chiefly because of the wildness of Hal
Schumacher. His arm evidently not
fully mended by an operation last
winter, Schumacher gave four walks
and wild pitch in addition to eight
hits during his Ginning stint.
The pitching wasn't so prideful at
Detroit, where the Tigers got 10 hits
and the Chicago White Sox nine,
but the battle was longer and harder
than all the rest. A home run by
Hank Greenberg in the 14th gave the
Tigers their second victory of the
season, 81.
