was tiie first rebuttal witness intro-
duced this morning. His testimony
entirely of a professional nature
was confined to the description of
the anatomy of the head and th.i

Dr. Stinson's testimony practically
ended the rebuttal although Mary
Ruybuni John Thompson Sol Par-

on the stand. Because they were un-
able to remember the dates o cer-

Both sides rested after J. D. Baker

The thing itarted along nlcn

1921 by going through the first pair
of Innings scoreless. Then the
Yanks broke loosn and brought
acrciims of Joy from the supporters
by walloping the Clants for four
counters. This rough stuff riled Mc-
Uraw'a men and while tho Yanks
were too busy giving thorn the merry
raw. they whirled on the apparent
victors and before the Inning bad
passed into history had hammered
hack those four runs starting the
thing off again In tho fourth on even

then Toney was replaced by Barnes
