Bend Towniea Seek Game Hera. J. H. Hogn, veteran ath lete and a red-headed one, too, mad a discovery when he ar rtred la Klamatli Falls two month! ago. Hogan tound a pitcher ho considered ready (or a trial la the Pacltie Coaat league. This was Paul Gehrman, young fellow who hai been the top man on the Klamath All Star team aince the first ot the aeaaon. Hoitn'i obaenratlon la Klamath county Independent baaeDall actlTltlea conTlnced him here waa a youth who might (urn hli baseball ability to profit. But he decided there waa aomething needed beyond Just observation. The red - headed stranger, hlmaelt a former coaat league catcher, applied to the man ager ot the Klamath AU-Start and found himself battery mate - to Gehrman tor the closing month ot the season. His original convictione held up well: Gehrman waa Just aa good as he thought he was. Hogan informed the San Fran cisco Seals ot his find and this week a contract blank was tor warded to the Klamath pitcher, e . Gehrman will report to San Francisco's training camp next spring as a rookie and he will have the full privileges of the Seals' payroll. He'll probably work through the spring train ing season with thla member of the Pacific Coast league and then perhaps be turned over to a minor league for experience before taking his regular posi tion ob the San Francisco ros ter. e Gehrman dldnt turn la any feat of baseball this year and bring in a no-run, no-hit game. He was, however, the moat con sistent pitcher in the county and won more gamea and lost fewer than his rivals. He's young, so his baseball future is exceedingly bright. At 11 he weight over ISO pounds, stands feet 1 inches and can stand np under the rigor of as extra-inning pitch ing contest He can field well and hla batting carried him np among the first four bitters of his own team. His mind is alert and well trained in baae- V. 11 Vnnvlojto e Gehrman is primarily a fast ball pitcher, but hla right hand has added to hla ability aa a winner. He pitched all 20 ot the Stars' games thla year and won 11. He atrack out 244 men for an average of more than 12 each game. v He batted 7 times, hit safely 43 times and maintained a aeason's average of .443. Seven ot those sate blows were home runs. Gehrman has the character lstlcs ot a star player. His teammatea describe him aa a man who can play every posl tlon on the field well. He has large hands and a long reach and he can cover a wide range of territory. He came to Klamath Falli three years ago from Silrerton, where he attended high school. His parents live at Mt. Angel. Ore. The first season In Klamati. county, he played for Shaw. ," Bertram, but for the last two years he has been the leading hurler for the 8tara. No need to mention that the contract will go back to San a rancisco signed. e Ao Independent football team recently organised at Bend has - Bet out on the quest ot a sched ule. It has applied to Klam ath Falls, believing this city still has a town organization, for games.

"Folks Just supposed It waa Mrs. Kelly and her hut band'a frienda." United States District Attor ney Herbert K. Hyde made the first point of the case the gov ernment will offer In effort to show the Shannons were not as Innocent as they claim. "Do yon know Jennings Brown, your county attorney?" he demanded of each witness. "Don't you know that for sev eral years Brown has had the Shannon place under scrutiny because so many cars with out-of-state licenses were seen around it? Oregon Car There "Don't yon know that this summer, when a car with an Oregon icense arrived and Shan non made a big bank deposit, followed by others, that your county attorney called federal agents into the watch?" The witnesses professed to know nothing of this. Hyde then ordered as an exhibit a copy of the Dallas News, In which Brown was quoted as saying he had done the things Hyde recited. KELLY TO BLAMET CHICAGO, Sept. 22.

Lamson Sentence Delayed by Plea (Continued from Page One) Lannln, declared he was con vinced of Lamton's guilt a week after testimony atarted. Defense Attorney Edwin M. Rea signed an affidavit charg ing the prosecution was guilty of misconduct. Presence on the Jury of R. E. Graham, a special deputy sher iff, was held to be a reason for granting a new trial. Judge Sver erred in relectlnr detente Instructions to the Jury, it waa Claimed. A further error In not allowing Dr. E. O. Heln- rlch to testify that Mrs. Lamson probably fractured her skull In an accidental fall was alleged. "The only argument to sup port the verdict was that no one else was seen on the premises," Defense Attorney Maurice Ran kin said. "It waa the moat shocking verdict ever returned In Santa Clara County. "The prosecution sought to establish two motives: that Lam son killed In a moment of pas sion Bnd that he was Induced to kill his wife because of relations with Mrs. Sara Kelley. There Is no evidence to support either one." The Church of England has 148 women working as deaconesses.
