The Simonian boy was with him and went- wading. Te negro re moved hit clothing, and was splashing about in the water. He said he accidentally splashed wat er on George, and the latter, an gered, splashed water on him. Overpowering the younger boy. he "ducked' him. "Tiien-1 decided to hold him under the water just a little long er, just to see what would hap pen," Kellogg said. When he dis covered his companion was un conscious. Kellogg put on his clothes and went back to work. He told E. L. Whitman, an em ployee of the Kellogg ranch, that he had found young Simonian ly ing in the .water "unconscious! Whitman applied first, aid meas ures which failed, and then called a doctor; who, pronounced the boy dead. The officers were puzzled at how a seven year old boy could be drowned in only 20 inches of water, and questioned Kellogg for several hours. Repeatedly he told them that he had been work ing when . suddenly . he heard Simonian call for bis mother. He then said he went to the' ditch where he found the boy, "with his feet sticking out of the water." At the coroner's, inquest this afternoon Kellogg told his tale of having found the boy in the water and as a result the jury returned a verdict of- accidental drowning. Immediately .. after the verdict, Campbell and Ford started a seige of questioning. -which Jasted for more . than three hours ending when the negro, boy broke down and confessed to the drowning. "Idon't knowlwhy I did it. I didntthinkJt would drown him. I just wanted, to see what would happen if I held him' under, water a long-time," the negro-boy said.

Brown Two Important moves affecting the game of baseball were made by the baseball powers over the past winter months. One was the action of the com bined rules committee of the big leagues in voting in favor of open use ef resin by pitchers drying their hands. '-The other was a change in the scoring rules, under which a bat ter .receives credit for a sacrifice fly and is not charged with a time at bat if his fly advances a man from first to second or second to third, as well as from third home. Previously a sacrifice fly was des ignated only when it enabled a runner to score from third. The rules committee, by the first named action, permits the presence of a small bag of resin behind the pitcher's box, to which he may revert at any time if ixe uses. It legitimately for drying his hands and thereby Insuring a bet ter grip on the ball. The general feeling is, however, that the open use of the resin will increase "trick" pitching, which had been held to a minimum, if not wiped out, by the, rule enacted years ago barring the Use of all "foreign substances." The four representatives of the National League on the commit tee voted for the use of, the resin. The four American League repre sentatives voted against it. Judge Laadis cast the deciding vote in favor of Its use. However, the American League has not sanc tioned its use in that circuity Which may provoke trouble in the world's series to come in the fall. Minor. changes in the rules 19 elude the extension of time be tween double-headers from 10 to 15 minutes; charging of the pitch re with an error when li makes a wild pitch' on the third strike; forcing the batter to complete the circuit of the bases if he wish es to be credited with a winning home run in the last half of the ninth, and increasing the home run distance into the granstand from 235 to 250 feet. This last change does not affect any big league parks, however. What effect will the early vic tories of the champion Washing ton Senators have on the ultimate result of the 1926 pennant race? This query may well be raised. ..The first game of the year be tween the two was a heart-breaker tor the beaten team, the Ath letics. Through 15 innings of world's, series baseball that called upon the mental and physi cal resources of every man jack of both' teams the Senators car ried the edge. The best they had In pitching Walter ; Johnson turned back the best .man the Mackmen could present, .TThen came the second day's tilt When the smoke of a hectic cold afternoon ' had cleared away the Senators had triumphed again. Stanley :Covele8kte, comeback hurler of last year, had baffled the Athletic batters, had let them down with but six scattered hjts. CHILDREN TO VIEW PICTURE Reduced Rates Available for Showing of "On Flander's Field," at Heilig Arrangements have been made with Mr. Hug, superintendent of city schools, whereby special tick ets at reduced rates will be dis tributed to pupils of the various schools so they will have an op portunity to see the official gov ernment picture, "On Flanders Field." which is being shown by the Veterans of Foreign Wars at the Heilig theater this Wednesday and Thursday. Special matinees have been arranged on both days at 3:45, Pupils will be dismissed several minutes early in order that they may be at the theater on time. "On Flanders Field" Is said to present a complete history of the World war and , presents an ex ceptional opportunity for pupils to view and understand what war really is. V 1 . 1 - . . w '"- . ; Pacific Coast No Faciflc coast games scheduled. The champs had pounded Slim Harriss, elongated artist of the Macks and a star ofthe staff, out of the box in four innings'. The Athletics failed to score un til the sixth inning. And 'that first run of the season came after the Nats had held them scoreless for twenty consecutive innings. Plenty in this to break the faith of the Mackmen, shatter their confidence though it was bol stered to a high pitch by the spring work. If the season ends with Wash ington atop the world, and the Mackmen again forced to content themselves with honors going to a two-three club, Connie Mack may well feel that his chances went glimmering in that very first series when the backbone of his machine was cracked by the mas terful play of the champs.

Harp er of Hollywood, have been indict ed here by the federal grand jury charged with using the mails to defraud in connection with sale of land on Palmito Del Verde, an island off the west coast of Mexi co. The indictments were re turned last Wednesday. Mrs. Harper and O'Bryan were indicted on the same charges last October - but a re-indictment was asked by government attorneys on the ground that the original bill contained legal irregularities. The two are accused rf having sold 35,000 acres of land on the island for from $20 to 350 fin acre, representing it to be highly fertile. Advertisements character ized it as a second Garden of Eden. Government attorneys stated the land was not fertile and the island was infested by myriads of insects. It was charged that sales totalling $200,000 were made in Salem, Ore., and Yakima, Wash., the investigation by the government having been made at the request of the Salem buyers.
