Washington State college, 13 to 5, In

yesterday.
Washington's big guns started

replaced by Myron Estill, who al
lowed only five more runs. Washing

Papal Edicts
, Tapal bulls take their titles from
the first word or plirase of the text,
which Invariably Is written In classic
Latin. Thus tho bull which bears
the title "Ant tquoruin tin bet fidem,"
Is mimed for the opening phrase
which, translated, reads, "He has
the fnlth of the ancients." The
title of the hull, "Kxsurge," means
"Arise." There Is no way of deter
mining from Its title what the sub
ject matter of a papal hull may be.

There was a nobby cry from Mrs.

put his hand on his wife's shoulc'er
in an effort to comfort her, but she
was still weeping when they left the
court room.
In the Jury's findings, the Insan

enant Massle went by the board. This
and the unwritten law had been
pleaded by Clarence Da r row, aged
leader of the defense, but In vain.

he said.
Prosecutor John C. Ket ley's only
comment was:
"The verdict meets the ends of

When the short court rocm session
was over. Darrow met Kelley and ex

never expected It."
Later the veteran criminal lawyer
remarked. "All I can say Is that I am

Asks Guard For Horace Ida
William B. PittmBn. attorney for
Horace Ida, one of the four remain
ing men accused of attacking Mrs,
Massle, asked a police guard for the
iaa home.
The conviction gave a notable vie
tory to John C. Kelley In his first
case as Honolulu's new public prose
cutor. He was appointed to office as
the result of the political shakeup
following on the abduction and slay
ing. In spite of his victory. Kelley re
mained in a complicated position with
relation to the figure connecting the
cases Mrs. Massle.
As a defense witness In the lynch
ing case Mrs. Massle figured in an
angry clash with the prosecutor when
he sought testimony from her that
she had differences with her husband
a few months before the attack last
September. Angrily she tore tip a
paper which allegedly contained hei
written admission or a rift. Kelley
arose and said:
"Thank you, Mrs. Massle. At last
you have shown yourself In your true
colors."
To Retry Attack Case
Some naval officers contended Kel-
ley's remark would prevent him from
prosecuting the forthcoming retrial of
the attack case. He announced it
would be retried but declined to say
whether he would head the prosecu-

Is the astonishing collection, of fun

Not long ago Eddie CoQllh wrote"
and asked me for the: funniest golf
story I knew, I was present when
this one developed; so I gave It to
Mr. Conlln at first hand.
It was at Oakmont, In the Na
tional amateur championship of 1925
the one where Watts Gunn became
hypnotized and shot round after,
round of the most devastating golf
ever seen In the amateur classic, .
itrNMXO Wild . s
Watts' playing In his first major
tournament was matched In the
first round with Vincent Bradford,
a Pennsylvanlan; and was trying
altogether too hard to steer his
shots at the beginning. He was 3
down through the eleventh hole of
the morning round. Then, some
thing happened. Watts went into '
a sort of trance In which it ap."
peared utterly impossible for him to
do anything wrong.
He established a world's record
by winning the next FIFTEEN .
holes in succession;' Bradford did
not get even one half from the
eleventh green to the twenty-slxth,Lt
where the slaughter ended, 12-10.
Watts went out with' Jess Sweet
ser In the next round; and he was
7 up on Sweetser at lunch-time. In
the afternoon. Watts fired eight con
secutive pars end then a birdie
at the famous Slwanoy player, win
ning 10-9.
This was the worst drubbing
Sweetser, one of the greatest
match-players American amateur
golf has produced, ever got. . '
Next day,, in the third round,
Watts began to regain conscious- i
ness, and Dicky Jones gave him a
hard fight. Watts was 2 up going to
tho eighteenth in the morning round"
and Dicky won that with a birdie
3, reducing the lead to one hole as
they went to the clubhouse. . ,
DELUSIONS '
This evidently was preying on
Mr. Gunn's mind as Jess Sweetser,
' accustomed to start Dicky 3 un in
club-mate of Jones, Who was

"Say I ought to - telegraph' Dad

, n0n't bother." advised Bobby
jones. He knew It 'long , before
