Rotary Junior Diamondeers

LIONS TURNED AROUND AFTER FIRST INNING Rotary Battery Shows Fans It Has Plenty of Real Ability A .... - - I TO PICK ALL STARS The Pally Democrat sports | i writer will endeavor to select I an all city Junior baseball team at the close of the regular | season. A player's ability to hit, field, run bases and his j I general attitude while (playing j will he considered. The advice and suggistions of umpires also i wil be used in selecting the ] I team. There will be nine regu- j lars. one extra Infielder ami ' outfielder and one extra pitchi er selected, making 12 in all. Playing the best game of baseball in its six starts this season, Pat Coffee’s Rotary junior baseball team trimmed Harry Knapp's Lions team and advanced t<> «u'ie finals of the elimination contest to determine which local junior team will represent Adams j county at the district base-1 ball tourney at Alexandria next Saturday. The final score of the game last] night was 19-4, and the largest crowd of the season watched the Rotaiians romp away after giving the Lions a 3 run advantage in the fl,st inning of the tilt. Ogg on the mound and Omlor behind the plate for the winners formed a baffling combination and the notary nioundsinan displayed! a lot of r al ability by mixing his Ins and outs in great style. Incidentally Ogg joined the Rotary murderers' row and banged the ball Tor four hits out of 5 times at bat. Kleinhenz, who has been on of the hitting mainstays broke the best bat his team had when he r.niacked the ball his first time at bat—and after that was content to suing a far corner of his anatomy i into the path of a speeding ball, and get first on a hit by pitcher. Ehinger, Murphy, Hain, Blythe and Eady added a hit or so, and all in all the Rotarians had a hard team for anyone to beat last night.| Omlor, besides acting as an error-, less backstop for Ogg's twirling, got on base a few times and accounted for some of his team's runs. The game wasn't as one-sided as the score might make it appear, however, and the Lions team did n lot of good playing smacked in l et ween some erratic fielding. Harmon accounted well for himself on the mound, but lacked the lecessary support in pinches. Schultz ‘formed the receiving end of the losing battery and while his peg to second and first was wild at times he managed to hold the twirler in fairly good shape. Hill .Coffee at first and Jimmie Harkless at second made some big 1 ague catches that stopped a couple of Rotary rallies. ■ Smith started at third and then switched to the field in favor of Hoffman, who started in the outergarden. Both accounted well for being awarded uniforms. Roop and Summers were the other two outer gardeners for the Lions and both managed to smack the ball on the offensive end of play. Davis handled shortstop position in good shape. The Lions players didn't make many errors on the ball but many of their tosses to tlie bases were wild. The Rotary team will meet the winner of the Legion-Moose tilt, the latter of which is scheduled for next Monday night. The final me will be held next Wednesday night. All the games are played at the South ward diamond and start at 6 o'clock. The large crowd which

I attended Friday night led Legion ' members, sponsors of the junior lius.ball movement to believe that interest was being revived here in the great national pastime. Many of the old time baseball fans attended and the fans ap- ' plauded both teams when good plays were mad The rivalry Is of the keenest type, but the boys are u bunch of good sports, and the game Is doing a lot to foster sportsmanship. Frank Peterson umpired at home plate; Jake Beal worked at fii;st end Hex Cochran" Judged the close ones at third. Beal and Cochrane alternated at second. The Friday game and the games Monday and Wednesday will not count in the season's play and the winner of the elimination contest will represent the county in the first division of the national tourney to determine the greatest junior baseball team In the United States. Another large crowd is expected | to attend the Legion-Moose game Monday night. The Moose team' is larger than the Legion Juniors, but the former aggregation will have its hands full coping with the. small, fast infield of the O'Brien I men. Buck Baxter, Moose coach lias drilled his team a lot recently for I the tourney and his team has high hopes of playing the finals with the Rotary team. Box score: Rotary AB. R. H. Po. Asst.

Several of th.? most popular grand circuit stables between lhe coasts have horses entered. The meeting will be operated in grand circuit style, and witli favorable weather the association ex ! pects all track records to be broken over the half mile ring, it is safe to say that there will be 250 horses on the grounds.

SENATE QUITS FOR WEEK-END (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I over secret documents pertaining '<> the treaty has ended as expected in President Hoover's refusal to produce them for the senate. If the senate follows the precedent of its foreign relations committee, it will not go to the length of rejecting the treaty on that ground. It was understood the British government either made or was prepared to make objections to publication of the papers if Mr. Hoover had wavered before the senate's insistence. In the senate, the first of what promises to lie a ehowar of reservations was proposed yesterday by Senator Norris, Repn., Neb., tlie reservation stipulated that ratification would be on the understanding that no secret papers should modify any portion of the treaty and that none of it had been made subject to prior agreement regarding Interpretation. ■ | Leaders of the young guard Republican forces favoring the treaty said the reservation implied distrust of the president and was not acceptable. Despite the aggressiveness so these treaty advocates, ' it. appeared likely today that the senate session would go Into a I third week.

The 1921 affidavit was used un-stlcces-fully by those working in , behalf of Mooney and Billings because of MacDonald’s failure to tell his story to the grand jury. Tlie new search for the missing witness was begun shortly after Governor ('. (’. Young of California had refused- to grant Mooney a pardon. A few days before the California supreme court had ruled advetsely on Billings’ application for pardon. San F.amiseo. July 12. — 'U.R) — Friends of Tom Mooney and Warren Billings were jubilant today over news that a man said to be John MacDonald had admitted, after bis arrest in Baltimore, lie had P-rjuied himself at the trial of the two men in connection witli the 1916 preparedness day bombing j her . L ttle doubt was felt bv supportI ■' s of the pair, now in prison, that | the Baltimore man was the key wit-i ] ness who lias been tlie object of | a nation-wid ■ search. “Os course it is the province of the California supreme court to insist upon his removal to San Fran- ' | cisco,” Miss Mary L. Gallagher, secretary of the defense league, I said. “Bat the Mooney defense ' | league 's ready and eager., to forI .va'd funds for his quick transportation here." She declared the, Baltimore man undoubtedly was the John MacDonald wanted, pointing out that the missing witness had relatives in that place. Authorities her" stated they had ; had not legal way of insisting on his r moval as there was no war- , rant out for his arrest. MacDonald test'fied at the trial he lecognized Billings as the man who “p'anted" tlie bomb and then ] ioined Mooney. He repudiat'd his statement in 1921 but his reversal | ! i of testimony was turned down as! j unworthy. Through his secretary, Harold ( Langren, Governor C. C. Young announced he had no power to | grant MacDonald immunity should ! | the latter's testimony be proved, ’ false. If the key witness estab-, lishes his claim that he was coerced into iden / fying Mooney and Billings as tile men who were responsible for the bombing, possible perjury charges will follow it was ■ thought. o ACCUSATIONS ARE HURLED rCOKTINUFn FROM PAGE ONE) ! ’■as nvoked against tlie attorney general for the charges which | have been laid at the door of that city.

WISCONSIN'S OLD INDIAN MOUNDS ARE EXCAVATED Field Workers of Archaeological Society Spend Summer in Work 1 Madison. Wi»„ July '.—(U.R) 7 Field woikeis of the Wiscons U| Archaeological society who have located more than 11.61 W Indian [ mounds since 1911 are continuing their explorations this summer. Last year these field parties lo- ! c ited 2118 archaeological monuI nr nts and sites not previously recorded by the society. | Many animal shaped burial i grounds, or effigy mounds, created : liy aboriginal man exist in this, i state. They are said to represent the clan symbols of Indians who' (lieU on the Wisconsin happy hunt ing grounds and are frequently in the shap" of a bird, turtle, bear, | panther or otli r animal. Remains buried in them 1 eveal ninny facts regarding h story and activities of their builders. Included in the discoveries of last season were 75 Indiana village and camp sites; 50 trails and river fords: 5n mounds: four spirit or sacred springs, four cooking or roasting pits, three native copper work ngs, three cemeteries, two flint workshop sites, two solitary graves, two boulder mortars, two plots of garden beds, two caches O’ hoards of flint implements, one 1 ad smelter, one quartzite quarry, one spirit stone (shrine), one trading post site, one pictorgraph rock, one Indian sugar bush, and one roek shelter. Scientific explo.ation has been carried on in many of these mm'nds and the'r contents removed to state museums. A much 'aiger number has been permanently preserved in public parks.
