Big Crowd
For East-West
Classic
$4,000 Fans
Expected At
The Game

CHICAGO-With promoters pray
ing for day OF bright sunshine,
prospects are favorable for a crowd
OF 10000 TO be seated In Comiskey
Park Sunday afternoon when play
Is called for the ninth annual East
West game, the diamond classic OF
the year.
Last year close to 10000 rabid
fans passed through the turnstiles
at Comeskcy Park, establishing
new record for the contest between
the best players of American Ne
gro league and those OF the Ma
| tional Negro league.
The increased attendance will be
attracted to the park by knowledge
that better crop OF players will
be in the uniforms Of both teams,
plus the added attraction OF LEROY
lSatchclD Paige, the elongated hur-
Ter who is toiling for the Kansas
City Monarchs whenever he's not
blasting the ball past batters in
some ierkwater town.
This will mark Paige's first ap-
pearance in the East-West contest
since 1896 when he was on the
mound for the East. The big pitcher
made his appearance on the rubber
in the fourth inning after the West
had staged an uprising. Norman
turkey Stearnes was at the plate.
swinging his big bat as Satchel
took up the burden of sitting the
rally The tying run was on second
and one out.
Paige always packed with col
or heaved three pitches past
Stearnes, and then duplicated the
feat with the succeeding batter TO
retire the side The West never
threatened again.
But Paige will face stiff oppose
ton on the mound. judging from the
record Of his chief opponent Impo
Barnhill, right-hander. Barnhill IS
rated the best pitcher in organized
baseball right now, topping such
stars as Leon Day. Ray Brown and
Fred McIlenfy in the Negro Ma
tional league.
The East Will have the advantage
both in hitting and fielding al first

Note Again Center of Interest.
A hand-Written note on yellow
paper again was center of interest,
although the purpose of the defense
in bringing 1t into the case was not
brought out. The contents have
not yet been admitted as evidence.
Mr.. Burko on the first day of the
trial testified that the note had been
passed from Lester Finnegan, former
reporter of the Washington Daily
News, to Police Judge Curran while
court was in session. Mr.. Burko
said Judge Curran read the note,
tore it up and threw it under the
bench and recessed court.
The note was identified yesterday
by Finnegan as his own. Later
Horace Knowles, reporter for The
Star, testified he found it in Judge
Curran's wastebasket under his
desk, pieced it together and gave it
to Judge Newman.
When Mr.. Curran came on the
stand late yesterday he was asked
by defense counsel if he had seen
the note. He said he might have"
that he knew Mr.. Finnegan and
that "Finnegan might have" handed
him the paper. Mr.. Finnegan was
to be recalled by defense counsel
today for further evidence in regard
to the note.
Defense counsel did not make
clear to the jury why the note was
being stressed. The defense, how
ever, has charged that Judge Casey
and Judge Curran were critical of
both Judge Newman and Mr.. Burko.
The note had been found in the
wastebasket at the time when Mr..
Finnegan was writing a series of
articles in the News criticizing Judge
Newman.
Several character witnesses testi-
fed to the reputation of the de-
fendant for honesty and truthful
ness" They included DR.. Lewis C.

Praised by Pravda.
After the coup d'etat in which
pro-AXis Yugoslav government was
overthrown late in March, the Com
munist party organ Pravda said the
Moscow government had not sent
congratulations to Belgrade on the
reputation of the pro-Axis regime,
but that "a people worthy of their
glorious past deserve congratulations,
and if such congratulations had oc-
CURED they would be nothing un-
usual"
A few days later the Russian
Yugoslav treaty was being hailed in
some quarters abroad as most en-
couraging news and fresh sign of
Russia's interest in checking Ger
man domination in the Balkans"
However. diplomatists believed the
pictures had changed since the Ger
man Ambassador Count Friedrich
Werner Won der Schulenberg. came
back to Moscow after a consultation
with Hitler.
German Russian tension appeared
relaxed.
With today's action, Greece re-
mains the only German-occupied
country with a mission in Moscow
from a government which remains
an ally of Britain.

The Matte Edwards case, which
the defense has been endeavoring
throughout the trial to get before
the jury, was related in some detail
this morning by Mr.. Burko, but when
brought before Judge Newman for
his comment, the Judge was pre-
vented from testifying as to its
final disposition. Objection Of prose-
cution counsel was sustained.
Mr.. Burko testified that the shop
lifting charges against the Edwards
woman had first come before Judge
Newman. who found her guilty, but
that on intervention Of Representa-
tive Sam Hobbs of Alabama, Judge
Casey gave the woman a suspended
sentence and put her on probation.
