arrested in the killing, but
lesser charges were placed
against II of them. OF those
on trial, two are white, two are
Negro, two are Puerto Rican

can Republic. Their ages range
from Is to 10.
The victim of the staying was
young Michael Farmer, son Of

Park talking over the posi-
bility Of going for a swim in the

For Delany the race has
something of a revenge flavor
about it. 1t was at Compton,,

feated Delany in 1881.
The Irishman is anxious to
reverse that result in a race

average to ESQ. but against his
ex-chums, the Red Sox. the
Senator'S big first baseman has
been a comparative terror.
Norm didn't make the Red
Sox quake last night as Boston
achieved an easy I'll triumph
behind Billy Monbouquette.
However. he got two doubles to
supply most of the Senator'S
power against the rookie right
handler, who achieved his first
major league win with a seven
hitter.
Zauchin may be trying TO
prove the Red Sox made a mis-
take when they traded him. a
thought which may not have
occurred to the Boston brass
because they picked UP hot
hitting Pete Runnels in the
deal. Anyway, Norm is a $50
hitter against them in IL games
this season.
Hits .429 at Fenway
At Fenway Park, his former
playpen, Zauchin has been par
ticularly outstanding. Here he's
hitting .429. and six of his nine
blows have travelled for extra
bases. In fact, Norm has Dashed
