Judge Denies Motion
To Delay Trial Of Man
Held in Assault Case
Defense Says Confession
OF Attock on Girl, IS,
Was Not Voluntary

The path was cleared today for
the opening of the trial on Monday
of William Isaac Robinson, "a, col
ored, indicted on charges of Grim
inally attacking l5year-old
daughter of a Federal official in
a wooded area across Sixteenth
street from Rock Greek Park on
August s. Justice Daniel w. ODon-
oghue yesterday afternoon over
ruled in District Court defense
plea for delay.
Defense Counsel David A. Hart,
assigned by District Court to repre-
sent Robinson. argued yesterday
that the alleged confession police
reputedly extracted from Robinson
was not voluntary, as he was ex-
hausted when he gave 1t, in fear
of his life, after being assaulted
by police.

John w. FINELY, representing the
Government, told Justice O'Donog-
hue that Jarvis R. Catoe, indicted
Yesterday in a number of assault
and murder cases, had been viewed
by the girl and she said Catoe was
not her attacker,
The question of whether the con-
fession was voluntary is matter
for decision at the trial Mr.. Flhelly
said. A motion alleging that there
was bias because of public hysteria
over Washington's crime wave and
asking for delay in trial was over
ruled in a similar case recently by
District Court. Mr. Fihelly added,
Justice ODonoghue agreed with
the Governments position and di-
rected that the trial 60 forward

DAYTCNA BEACH, Fla, Mar. IL
(UP)-The two big country boys
were hungry, dirty and tired. They
had hitch-hiked from the hills of
Pennsylvania and camped on the
beach here and lived off hot-dogs
while getting up enough nerve to
ask Joe Engel for try-out as
pitchers with his Chattanooga Sou
thern League baseball team.
Engel looked the boys over and
said okay. go on out there on the
hill and throw a few. The tow
headed left-hander, worked first
in his stocking feet, because he
didn't have any spiked shoes and
his street ones kept slipping. He
was easy and loose despite his
nervousness. His pal, highlander,
looked even better. He kept his
regular shoes on, but they didn't
keep his fast ball from coming in
there good
When they had finished Engel
slipped them a few dollars, hustled
them eff to hotel for some food
and sleep, and told them to be
back in the morning.
AS the boys walked off grinning
the money clutched in their hands
Engel laughed and said to me: I'm
sucker for those big sandlot kids
who like baseball enough to take
any sort of punishment to play it
And YOU ever can tell what they
are going to turn out to be.
"Lissen, just looking at those
kids takes me back to 1907 when
was bat boy for the old Wash
ington Nationals. One day we hac
O. rookie come in who was such a
rube that even us kids had to
laugh at him. Say, he had on a
derby hat and suit with sleeves
that hit him just a little below the
elbows and with pants that missed
the top of his shoes by six inches.
They were button shoes, too, and
he had a watch fob as big as o
pie plate across his middle. This
big farmer said he was from Idaho
and that he had come to pitch for
Washington and that his name was
Walter Johnson"
Engel sWears that in all the his
tory of baseball there never was a
greenhorn TO match Johnson.
walter was discovered in Idaho
by man who travelled that section
for meat packing company, and
who was a friend of the Washing
ton manager, Joe Cantillion. He

SARASOTA, Fla, March
y. (UP)-Step up and meet
the worlds only one man
baseball club-a gent who
has played every position on
the diamond, been manager buSi-
ness manager, ticket taker and bus
driver on road trips.
His name is Mike Ryba and he is
here in the camp of the Boston Red
SoX as a pitcher. The Red SoX hap
pen to be short of pitchers or other
wise you might find Mike playing
any one of the eight positions. After
l3 years in the game he has settled
down to one position and the Red
Sox are looking him over because
he won "a and lost eight for Roch-
ester in the International league
last year.
Mike has done some amazing
things in baseball including the
time he caught one game of dou-
BILE header and pitched the other
one. In another game he played
first base for the first three innings,
caught the next three and pitched
the last three.
But the season he loves to talk
about was 1884 when he was with
the Springfield, Mo, team of the
Western association.
Il was the manager and the buSi-
ness manager" Mike said. "On top
of that we travelled around the
league in three cars and I drove
one of them. I usually drove the
rear car because l could sort OF
ride herd on the players in case
any of them dropped along the way
side.
Before the season was over l
had played every position. AS a
pitcher I won IA games and lost
three. I caught about 100 games
and at all the positions l had a
batting average of .342.'
What position did he prefer?
ut doesn't make any difference
I like baseball so we'll that I'm will
Ing to play anywhere. But it looks
like I'm going to be pitcher this
season"
Mike has developed some out
standing ball players in the years
he has knocked around the minor
leagues. Among them are Fiddler
Bill MCGEE, the st. Louis Cardinals
pitcher; Oscar Judd, pitcher up
with the Red Sox this season; and
Joe Orengo, New York Giants in

gaWky fellow out in Idaho playing
on diamonds where they used rocks
for bases, who was striking out
everybody as fast as they got up.
When he got to Washington,
johnson had no wind-up Whatso-
ever he would just suddenly pull
his arm back and throw. And he'd
throw it so fast you couldn't see it,
In one of the first games he played
he rounded second and turned to
his right, just as you are allowed
to at first base. He was tagged
out somewhere in centerfield and
when he got back to the bench eX-
planned that where he came from,
you were allowed to round second
and third just as you were first
base
Engel saw johnson pitch his first
game-a great Detroit team beat
him 2 TO l, when he made a field
ing error on a bunt-and after that
game he walked the three miles
back to the hotel where the team
was living.
Walter never had heard of a
team having transportation to ano
from the park Engel said. sc
when he finished he just started
hiking down the middle of Seventh
Street to the hotel. He hadn't
changed from his uniform, either
and he made a fine sight in the
blue Washington suit with the
teams name written in white
across the chest"
No one will ever make Enge
believe that there ever was pitch
er to match Johnson. He has seer
all the good ones for more thar
30 years, but swears the big train
never will be topped.
He didn't have thing, but his
speed until near the close of his
career" Engel explains. The bat
terS all knew what to expect, but
still they couldn't hit him. I re-
member one time Washington went
into New York a dead last and the
New Yorkers kidded Cantillior
about being so deep in the cellar
So. to get even, he threw johnson
at them on Friday, en- Saturday
and then on Mandy. He licked EN-
three times and shut 'em up
The chances are that neither ol
the hitch-hiking boys Engel be-
friended will he Walter Johnsons
or anything like Walter johnson
but Joe is afraid not to give EN-
chance.
He still remembers that appari-
ton in a derby which appeared II
Washington years and years ago.
