PUNCH NEEDED, PILOT JUGGLES ' TIGER LINEUP Cochrane Drops Greenberg to Sixth, Hikes Goslin to Cleanup Spot. CARDS LEAD SERIES, 2-1 Carleton and Auker Will Hurl This Afternoon, Is Forecast. fiy Unit'd /’rent ST. LOUIS, Oct. 6 —Mickey Cochrane today served up anew Detroit Tiger batting order for the fourth game of the 1934 world series in a desperate effort to rally the faltering American League cause. Coming into this afternoon's contest trailing the St. Louis Cardinals by one game to two, Cochrane sought a combination that could come through with batting punch when needed. He dropped Hank Greenberg from the cleanup position to the No. 6 spot, hiked Leon • Goose) Goslin from fifth to the cleanup, and made Billy Rogell No. 5. Rated on the record of yesterday's performances the new lineup may be an improvement, and, of a certainty, it couldn't do any harm. The Tigers lost yesterday almost solely because they couldn t hit when the checks were down —couldn't connect even for paltry singles when there were men on the bases. Thirteen Left on Bases There was one significant item in the usually yawned-off box score. This was the matter of men left on base. Precisely thirteen Tigers were stranded and in two innings the Tigers’ side was retired scoreless with the bases filled. The world series record for men left on bases is fourteen. This, of course, is a matter of looking at the game from the offensive side. Seen from the other angle the game was another Dean pitching triumph. This time it was Paul Dean, younger and slightly less illustrious brother of Jerome, the Dizzy. Jay, as his Paw calls him, won the opening contest, putting the Cards one game to the good. Paul yesterday again hiked the St. Louis boys into a one-game margin after an interlude in Detroit when the Tiger ace. Schoolboy Rowe, put his club into the winning column. Carleton. Auker Are Ready Today's pitching assignments were listed tentatively but probably for Tex Carleton for the Cards and Eldon Auker for the Tigers. Both are right-handers and each is making his world series debut. Each rates a No. 3 place on their respective staffs. Auker is baseball's current under- | hand pitcher. His long right arm misses the ground only by a few inches as he sweeps the ball towards the plate. He used to pitch in the orthodox way but a broken shoulder I w hich kept him out of the gamej for some time, made him change his style. Odds favoring the Cards had: shortened today to 1 to 3. They ; were 3 to 5 favorites on today's j game, odds on the Tigers winning \ the series were 2 to 1 against. Schoolboy Again Sunday Frankie Frisch, jubilant over yes- j terriay's victory, predicted that his inspired Cards club would win the title in the next two games. "Boys,” he said to some world series reporters. “you might might just as well throw away those Detroit coupons. You aren't going to need 'em.” Mickey Cochrane, heart-broken over yesterday's defeat of Tom Bridyes. his second best pitcher, had I found some restored confidence today. "Naturally it isn't a comfortable position to be in.” he said, "but we aren't beaten yet. No. I'm not j making any plans on pitching Rowe i again.” Detroit club followers ex- ! pect Mickey to pitch the Schoolboy on Sunday, win. lose or draw today.

FOGGY OEAN TO GET NEW TRIAL Jury Is Discharged After Deadlock; New Hearing in November. Edward (Foggy) Dean, accused as “trigger man” in the submachine gun murder of Police Sergeant Lester Jones, must face another trial in November, Prosecutor Herbert E. Wilson announced today. An exhausted jury, hopelessly deadlocked after more than thirty hours deliberation, filed into Marion criminal court late yesterday to be discharged by Special Judge Clyde Jones and end Dean's three-week trial on first-degree murder charge. Dean was returned to the county jail to await the new trial. Failure of the jury to reach a verdict marked the second disagreement in the trials arising from the murder of Sergeant Jones during a lobbery of the Peoples Motor Coach Company garage here in February, 1933. Willie Mason, now a crippled fugitive, was tried at Noblesville last year and the jury there disagreed. Several months later, Mason sawed his way out of the county jail. He is still a fugitive. Ernest (Red) Giberson. alleged member of the bandit gang, is in Marion county jail awaiting trial. Disagreement as to the interpretation of the court's instructions to the jury is said to have made it impossible to reach a verdict in the Detfii ease. At one time, it was reported, the jury stood eight to four for conviction. When the jury was discharged, however, it was reliably reported that six members stood for acquittal.

Scoring two runs, getting two hits, a double and a triple, third baseman Pepper Martin of the Cards was the hero of the third game of the 1934 world series.

The Tigers avoided victory as though it were something dead and continled to shy away from their opportunities until Brother Daffy, the slightly less noisy of the Brothers Dean of Oklahoma, realized that heer was an unclaimed world series game lying around and walked off with it himself. Brother Daffy hardly could help winning from a ball club which had fourteen runnenrs on base and twice had the bases full, but came to the finish with only one run to show for all this.

the fifth innning. Daffy gave eight hits, including a double and two triples and walked five men and hit another. n u NO pitcher who permits fourteen men to get aboard the bases has any right to stand off and acknowledge his own magnificence with any low sweeping bows, although Brother Daffy will do so nevertheless. The Dean boys live within Huey P. Long's zone of social and political influence and modesty is not among their vices. They admit that they are very good and they have an exasperating knack of wining even when they aren’t. They deride their enemies with scornful banter aud predict how badly they are going to lick them and then, like Huey, they do. Brother Dizzy was not the first to congratulate Brother Daffy. He ran second because Daffy beat him to it, but it was close. He had

An early estimate of casualties accounted for between 125 and 135 dead, with fighting continuing. In Meires, in the Asturias region, and a dozen small towns around it rebels were holding their own. Soldiers, infantry and artillery, sent from further south, were supposed to attack Meires. which the rebels controlled, at dawn. But there were no direct reports of the situation.

As the ball game ended, brother Dizzy slung his sweater over his shoulder and walked up fast, shouldering ball players, customers and policemen aside to intercept Daffy at the lip of the Cardinals’ dugout. He placed his left hand on Daffy’s shoulder, looked him dead in the eye and solemnly acknowledged that next to his older brother. Daffy was the best pitcher In the world. Yet, neither one of them pitched so well in winning the Cardinals’ two games to date but that a little better attack would have beaten them. The Tigers this time /were

BOBBIE MUST DIE FOR SWEETHEARTS MURDER TRAGEDY’ JURY RULES

OIY HOODLUM HU ID DEMO OF SALESMAN Victim of Fractured Skull Found in Doorway; Car Found. Police today were holding a man with a record of petty crime and were seeking two other men for questioning as they pushed their investigation into the murder of Paul Russell Wooley, 42, clothing salesman, of 36 West St. Joseph street, who died in city hospital early today of a fractured skull after having been found unconscious last night in a doorway at Walnut street and Capitol avenue. The man hied is Tony Lowe, who in previous arrests has given his address variously as San Francisco and as 3713 Scofield avenue. He was found intoxicated in Wooley's automobile early today some distance froim the spot where Wooley was found last night, police said. The two men sought are believed to have been with Wooley and Lowe some time during the night. The dead man’s mother, Mrs. Blanche Wooley, of the West St. Joseph street address, a grey-haired maternal appearing woman who owns the apartment house in wh>ji* her son lived, Told an Indianapolis Times reporter today that he left the apartment about 4 yesterday afternoon and did not return. Mrs. Wooley said Paul had been drinking, but was not intoxicated. She added that he had no money with him, having given all he had to her before he left the apartment. The dead man’s sweetheart, Miss Margaret Jones, 1321 Park avenue, a beautiful girl, red-eyed this morning with weeping, insisted that her fiance had not been a man to spend his money on drink. Both she and his mother, in whose comfortably furnished apartment she was seeking solace today, agreed that he had no enemies and was not a troublemaker. Mrs. Wooley came here from Logansport nine years ago. Her son, a war veteran, settled in Indianapolis shortly after the World war. He previously had lived in Louisville, Ky. Witnesses told police that two men dumped Wooley into the doorway where he was found last night an dthen drove away. Lieutenant Donald Hooley, commanding the homicide squad, said he had formed no theories in the case and that he would not question Lowe until the latter “sobered up.” STOCKS IRREGULAR AS MARKET OPENS Trading Dull in Narrow Range; Bonds Steady.

The statistics favor the losers in all columns except the score. The task which the Tigers set Bridges was very disheartening.

JERSEY ACTS TO GET HAUPJMANN Grand Jury Will Meet on Monday; Suspect Is Found Sane. By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—Extradition of Bruno Richard Hauptmann to New Jersey to face charges of kidnaping and murdering the Lindbergh baby was virtually assured today. The Hunterdon county grand jury will meet Monday to consider indictments. It was believed likely Hauptmann would be lodged in the Hunterdon county jail by Wednesday. Four alienists struck at one of Hauptmann’s possible defenses—insanity. They returned a report last night reporting the German carpenter to be normal in every respect. The report of a fifth alienist, who represented the defense, was withheld. James M. Fawcett, Hauptmann’s attorney, reiterated his determination to fight extradition from Bronx county, his client is scheduled to go on trial Thursday on an indictment charging extortion unless he is turned over previousy to New Jersey. Mr. Fawcett obtained a show cause order to permit his inpection of the minutes of the grand jury. The order is preliminary to a motion asking dismissal. The grand jury to meet at Flemington Monday should complete its deliberations Monday night or Tuesday. Hunterdon county includes Hopewell, scene of the kidnaping. The alienists’ report follows: “After a thorough examination of Bruno Richard Hautpmann we have come to the conclusion that he is sane and that there is no evidence indicative of any previously existing mental disease. The patient’s intelligence, judgment and memory, his knowledge of the difference between right and wrong, of the relationship between cause and effect, and his understanding of the nature and quality of his acts are, in our opinion, all normal.” Colletta to Join Mother By United Press HONGKONG, Oct. 6.—Colletta Mulvihill Creen, romantically inclined Pittsburgh (Pa.) girl, arrived here today on the S.

Hogsett walked slowly into the box, surveyed a gloomy situation calmly and flexed his left arm with a few practice shots at Cochrane's mitt. He then took firm control as Medwick hit into the first double-play of the series. Rip Collins, the next hitter, should have been out, but Bill Rogell, the Tigers’ shortstop, made a bad throw to first and he was safe. Cochrane then caught him stealing. The Tigers have been that way all through the series to date. They kick the ball and have to fight their way out of trouble. They wait until two are out to start hitting.

through most of the night. They examined the dress Miss McKechnie had made to wear at her wedding, believing Edwards was about to put the seal of legality upon their affair. The 172 letters Edwards wrote his second sweetheart. Miss Margaret Crain, were sent into the juryroom where, presumably, they were read carefully. At 8:30 a. m. Judge W. A. Valentine reconvened court to receive the verdict. The clerk didn’t need ask for it; it was evident in the faces of twelve men. Fatal Words Read Edwards blanched when the fatal words were read—“guilty—death.” His lips contracted into a thin, white line. He whispered to his counsel. The jury was polled. Each man in a firm voice responded: “Guilty in the first degree—death.” Judge Valentine thanked the jury and adjourned court. Edwards, 21 years old and even younger in appearance, produced a cigaret and lighted it with a trembling hand. His face was expressionless as photographers exploded their flash bulbs. He put out his left hand for the manacles that chained him to a deputy sheriff, and almost ran out of the room. He was taken to “murderers’ row” of county prison. Parents AII Absent Neither Edwards’ parents nor the parents of the murdered girl were in court. Once close friends, they had attended all previous sessions without so much as glancing at one another. They are next door neighbors and leading citizens of the nearby mining community of Edwardsville. Judge Valentine will formally sentence Edwards to the electric chair after defense counsel has had an opportunity to file notice of appeal. Under Pennsylvania law the jury fixes both the guilt and the punishment in capital cases. Thomas E. Lewis, the prosecutor, said he thought the verdict “very proper.” Defense counsel would not comment. Childhood Sweethearts Edwards and Miss McKechnie were “childhood sweethearts.” She grew up to become a telephone operator, but he was more ambitious, obtained part of a college education, and had his eye on the ministry. Miss McKechnie was his love until he met Miss Crain, of East Aurora, N. Y., cultured, skilled in music and literature, at college. Then his love for Miss McKechnie began to dim. Last March Miss Crain and Edwards were meeting periodically for “trysts." Between trysts, Edwards continued his companionship with Miss McKechnie. in his own story from the witness stand, he said it was natural for a man to seek companionship in the “other sex.” Then last July, Miss McKechnie informed him that she would become a mother within five months. Edwards told her they would elope Aug. 1. But the night of July 30, hi took her swimming at Harvey’s lake in the mountains near Edwardsville. Repudiated Confessions They put on their bathing suits in Edwards’ car which Miss Crain had bought for him. Edwards concealed a blackjack in his blouse. They waded out; then Miss McKechnie began swimming. When she swam past him, he is alleged to have hit her with the blackjack. The body was found several days later. Edwards, arrested immediately. gave three confessions. In court he repudiated them all, claiming that Miss McKechnie died of shock when her body came in contact with cold lake water, that he blackjacked her only to make her death appear accidental. The trial began last Monday. The prosecution produced 172 letters Edwards wrote Miss Crain and a like number Miss Crain wrote Edwards. Edwards’ letters were a strange mixture of the mystic, the erotic, the perverse—reflecting an approach to the universal sex problem of adolescence that had crossed the line into the abnormal and subnormal. Much of this correspondence was unprintable. The Jury received the case last night. It deliberated five hours, retired to sleep three hours, deliberated an hour more, then announced it had reached a verdict.
