NEW TRIAL FOR DR HYDE
Supreme Court of Missouri Remands
Case to Trial Court '
Jefferjon City Mo— Dr B Clark
Hyde was Tuesday granted a new
trial on the charge of murder of
Colonel Swopo the millionaire philan-
thropist of Kansas City by the su-
preme court Judge Franklin Ferris
wrote the opinion which Is about 12-
000 words long remanding the case to
the-Jackson county criminal court for
retrial
Action In the B Clark Hyde murder
case at Kansas City awaits the arrival
of the official mandate from Jefferson
City Attorneys for both the state and
the defense can make no definite
and complete plans for the future un-
til they have read this document How
long It will be before the mandate ar-
rives Is problematical The law says
It must reach Kansas City within ten
days after the opinion is delivered
Attorneys expect It within three or
four days
That the case will be retried Is cer-
tain says Prosecutor Virgil Conkling
It Is probable too that Dr Hyde will
again be tried on the charge of having
murdered Colonel Thomas H Swope
It was on this indictment that the case
lust passed on was based (

HE'S GAY LIFE
ARBITRATOR IN "BUSH LEAGUE"
'' HAS REAL JOYOUS
TIME ' '
WAYS OF SOUTHERN JUSTICE
Pitcher Reagan’s Run-In With the
Umpire Almost Lands Him In
Turpentine Camp— Nagging of Um-
pires Is a Fine Art
By HUGH 8 FULLERTON
Amongst the gayest of gay lives la
that of the "bush league" umpire
This is a tale of the Joys of an um-
pire’s existence and of the ways of
southern justice' ’
There is a pitcher Reagan we’U
call him who now la in another
league He is a spitball pitcher and a
little tight bundle of nerve and cour-
age with a temper that fits the Rea-
gan exactly
A season or so ago he was pitching
for Mobile A few days ago I met
blm and back somewhere in the dim
recesses of memory was the recollec-
tion that he had had some trouble
down south
“What was that row you had?” I
asked
“Say” he said "wasn’t that the raw-
est deal a fellow ever got?”
"I don’t remember just what it was”
“Why do you know they threw me
Into jail down there kept me In jail
eight days fined me $125 and were
going to send me to the turpentine
camps”
Hie voice quivered with Indignation
“What did you do?”
“Me? Nothing at aU Them south'
enters are down on a northern fellow
If It hadn’t been that the old judge
went away on his vacation and
young one took his place I'd have
been sent to the turpentine camp
sure to work a year”
"But what did you do?”
"Me? Nothin’ Just had a little
run-in with the umpire Then they
dragged me off the field tried to mob
me and threw me into jail”
His voice quivered again
"But what did you do? They couldn't
do that for nothing”
“Say you don’t know them south-
erners They’ll do anything If they
get sore on a northerner”
"Tell me about It” I said coaxingly
“Well It was this way We were
playing Gulfport and 1 had them
beaten 4 to 3 in the ninth inning
There were two out and a man on
first base and two strikes on the bat-
ter so it looked as If the game was
as good as over That batter couldn’t
hit 6 against my spitball -and he
knew it I broke a spit ball right
through the center of the plate right
across his belt the most perfect
strike you ever saw and that ham of
an umpire called it a ball
“I didn't say much to him I just
told him he was a blank blank 'blink-
ety blank robber and let it go at that
I’d pitched that fellow four spit balls
so I pretended I was going to pitch
another end then shot a fast one right
As ths Fan Looks to the Umpire
through the middle pf the plate Say
you ought to have seen him bit It
He hlt It almost Into the gulf clear
over the left field fence sent home
a run ahead of him and beat us out
of the game I was sore I turned to the
urn plre and said : That goes to show
what a blink blank bl&nkety blink
blank rotten yellow dog of a home
umpire can do And just for that he
smashed me right In the nose Then
the crowd mobbed me and the police
arrested me — and they kept me In
Jail fined me and I was lucky to es-
cape going to the turpentine camps1
"But what did you do to him?”
persisted v
"Me — oh nothing Just bit his ear
off”
Nagging umpires often gets to be
a fine art It requires an artist to get
away with it One of the reasons that
the crowd always thinks the umpire
la exceeding his authority when he
chases an offending player off the
field le that the player who really
hurts the umpire's feeling Is the nag-
ger who seldom does anything that
amounts to much but keeps at It For
Instance many spectators have criti-
cised Klem for banishing Johnny Ev-
ers of the Cubs often many times
seemingly without cause Evers scl- I
dom even Breaks to Klem yet Klem
has put him out of games oftener than
all other umpires combined The
chief reason is this: Once Klem made
a bet with Fvers He bet Evers five
dollars that Le (Evers) was afraid to
call on the president of the league
Evers accented the wnger and era i
waiting at tho office when the preal-
dent arrived the next morning and
spent a couple of hours with him Ha
claimed the wager Klem did not pay
promptly so for weeks every time
Klem looked at him Evers held up
five lingers and looked the other way
He kept this up until Klem paid
Then be carried the flre-dollar bill
in hla uniform and waved it at the
umpire every chance he got Finally
that wore out and Evera began to look
at Tinker every time Klem came onto
the -field and at the aame time he
nibbed his throat with strong down-
ward motions insinuating that Klein's
heart was coming into bis mouth
And yet they wonder that umpires j
get mad
Patrick Henry Dougherty of the
White Sox Is such a quiet and undem-
onstrative ball player that most of the
fans Imagine he Is Indifferent as to the
result of gamesi The fact la that it
hurts him as much as anyone to lose
He seldom kicks hut once he made a
kick at Tim Hurst — whereby hangs
this tale
Patrick Henry was at hat late In the
game when a hit meant a lot and he
Aa the Umpire Looks to the Fan
was anxious to deliver the safe drive
He played the pitcher out to the limit
and with two strikes and three halls
called he sighted down the groove
ready to apank the ball squarely be-
tween the seams He saw the ball
shoot five Inches away from the cor-
ner of the plate let it go and started
to trot to first base Imagine his sur-
prise when Hurst said: "Strike three
you’re out”
Dougherty was mad all the way
through He picked up his bat and re-
marked: "Hurst you’re a blank blank crook
and a thief”
“Do you think that of me Patrick
Henry r asked Hurst in his suavest
tones
“Yes you blink blank blankety
blanked robber I -do” spluttered
Dougherty wild with rage
“If I were you Patrick Henry" re-
marked Hurst in his softest and silk-
iest tones "I wouldn't associate with
persons of that character Git on off
the ball field”
And Dougherty went to the club-
house grinning

THOUGHT HIS TIME HAD COME
Exceedingly Disconcerting Experience
of Singer in an English Mu-
sic Hall
Stage fright of the sort that afflict-
ed "Whit” Cunliffe at one time a
prominent singer In English music
halls Is not avoidable Fortunately
also it is not common At a place
where he was engaged In Birming-
ham one of the attractions was a lion
show some of the beasts being real-
ly wild and untamed Nearly the
whole stage was taken up with the
“setting”— the animal show
“Just as I was going on” said Cun-
liffe In telling the incident “I heard
a hurried rush and confused shouting
and Borne one slammed an Iron gate
I heard a voice say ’Just In time he
was nearly out’ My music was start-
ing so I had no time to Inquire' I
went on the stage
“In a moment I heard ominous
growls and savage snarls mixed with
much whip-cracking and strenuous
breathing I am never fond of a wild
animal show and I felt distinctly nerv
ous that night The cloth behind me
sagged and Bwayed — and then to my
horror suddenly In the wings I saw
the huge head and front of a lion!
“I was singing a song called T
Would' which had a lot of short vers-
es As I sang them my blood run-
ning cold I watched the lion It
seemed slowly to advance and Its
baneful eyes glittered in a truly hor-
rible way I could not go off that side
without passing it so 1 prepared to
‘exit with haste
“Turning I was doubly horrified to
see another lion on the other side!
“I was caught like a mouse in a
trap 1 dared not go off the stage I
dared not show my discomfiture to
the audience There was only one
thing for me to do— sing So I sang
In desperation hoping that Borne one
would come and take those lions
away They told me afterwards that
I sang ninety-eight verses! But I
think that was unkind
Wipe it off your otherwise
good looking face— put on that
good health smile that CAS-
I wondered how long It would take I CARETS will rive YOU— as
those two brutes to make up their r c u
minds -to come Into the full glare of I TCStllt ITOm UlO CUTS of
the footlights and I had Just prepared j Constipation— OTA tOTpidlivCT
to leap Into the stalls regardless of I It’s SO easy— do it — you’ll see
tho consequences when 1 heard the I “
hoarse voice of one of the stage -- "
bands say: Ere Bill these two
chaps are too far forward Give a

ing up between the two lions they
