Baseball fans who journeyed to the Robert Strange playgrounds yesterday afternoon saw to fast and interesting games of the national sport staged by the City Leaguers. In the opening game, which was tne best of the day, the Immanuels, though hit almost three to one by their opponents, the Giants, walked away with a 6 to 5 "-victory- tucked in their belts. Slugging by Light Infantrymen was the chief cause of this team downing the fast goings Dodgers, in the last game, by a 7 to 2 score. Although Shepard was on the mound for the Dodgers, he could not tame the soldiers as he had done the other batsmen in games played previously this , season. Nine . healthy bingles were registered against him. Home, twirling for the soldiers, not content with holding the Dodger batsmen to three scattered hits, tripled in the fifth inning with two men on bases. Bunched hits in the fourth inning of the first game, by the Immanuels, decided this game for the Churchmen. Four "runs, and victory, was chalked on the score-board in this inning. Bos- well, pitching for the Giants, kept the Immanuels well in hand until this in ning. Five hits were allowed by him and his team mates cracked out thir teen, but victory was not theirs. .

WAR DEPARTMENT PREPARED ISSUE THE FIRST CALL (Continued From Page One.) limits; exemption; whether an army should be sent to Euope at all all these questions arose in both "Houses. A feature of the day in the lower body was the vote of Miss Jeannette Rankin among 98 others against the Kahn amendment, which returned the measure to virtually the same pro visions as submitted originally to the House by the President and the War Department. Important action in the House on the army bill included: Adoption of the Kahn amendment. Adoption of an amendment to pro hibit payment of bounties to men who enlist in the army or National Guard and prohibiting drafted men from ob taining substitutes. Adoption of. an amendment, by which every State must gets its quota of troops for the army in proportion to its population. Adoption of an amendment by which boys under 21 years cannot en list in the regular army or National Guard without their parents' consent. Defeated an amendment that would have exempted conscientious objec tors from military service. Striking out of a point of order of an amendment prohibiting the sale or gift of liquor to army officers or privates. Defeating an amendment to exempt all farm workers from military serv ice. Defeat o an amendment to change the military age limit from 21 to 40 to 18 to 21. Defeat of amendment to strike the word "selective" from' the draft pro : vision. Defeat of an amendment to raise the military age limit to 45, 50 or 60 years: Defeat of an amendment by which no troops would be sent to the trenches unless they volunteered for foreign service. Defeat" of an amendment by which aliens who have besn in the United States for five years or more without becoming citizens would be subject to military duty. Adoption of an amendment by Rep resentative Lever, of South Carolina, specifically authorizing the President to exempt from army service such farm workers as he may deem neces sary for. the xnairitenance of the mili tary establishment. Up to early evening the Senate had actexT positively on only two amendments. They were the amend ment offered by Senator Chamberlain voting to make the new draft army ".l-in-ri n '1 n-ns? 1: IX 1 . wuxxt: vxxj- (xxx ix mtj UgU lllxlll CiaUSe An amendment to make the "bone dry" clause more drastic was put rortn oy senator MCKellar. Senator Underwood added ah amendment pro posing to include both Houses of Con gress m the .prohibiting clause. This caused an uprising of bitter debate. After three hours the amendment was adopted. " "i - ' . A substitute amendment offered bv Senator Harding; nullified the whofe effect of the" prohibition amendment ahd placed the regulation of the use of liquor iff the army in the hands of the President. It was adonfert. ; After two iiours struerarlr limits for liability for military service were nxea at zi to 27 bv the SWa Te minimum limit was Taised to 21 with little objection, but the maximum limit occasioned mucli debate.

SUSPECTED NEGRO UNABLE TO SLEEP CONVICTS TESTIFY (Conitnuod from Page Five.) was not locked, the intimation being that it would have been easy for a convict leaving to have carried the gun with him and returned it without any one being the wiser. The fact that Mr. Kirby shot rabbits with small shot, I if this was true, would also indicate j that there were shells at the stockade loaded with shot other than bucks. Toward the shank-end of the session a trunk of clothes were brought into the jury room and the general under standing among the jurors was that the clothes belonged to Johnston and that he kept them at the home of a negro woman in tle suburbs and dress-1 ed on evenings that he is supposed tol have come from the stockade. The clothes were of a dark color, but the coat which Miss Davidson was so pos itive her assailant wore was not con- tained in the trunk. The gun that was carried, by the night prowler and used to send young Walton into Eternity has not been found as yet, however, the jury and Solicitor Burton are very optimistic and believe that it will be produced within a very short period. WAINO KETONEN. The greatest little wrestler in the country today is expected to arrive in the city tonight, according to a tele gram received by Ed Aberg. Ketonen is coming here for the express pur pose of meeting and vanquishing Fritz Hanson, but had advised Aberg to book him all the matches possible which would indicate that the Finn is a hog for work. He wrestled at Ashtabula, Ohio, yesterday, and his telegram stated that he would leave immediately afterwards for Wilming ton. Aberg is expecting him here to night or at the latest tomorrow. Ketonen and Hanson will meet in the early future. The Swede has not trained regularly of late, because he has been unable to book any worth while matches, and rather than stage a farce he has remained idle. It is not .thought, however, that it will take long for him to get in the proper condition and when the two 'meet mat fans will be treated to an exhibi tion worth while. The Finn has yet to meet defeat at the hands of a man his weight. He is one of the most widely known wrestlers in thid game today and Wilmington is especially fortune in having him come here for m q tnn v..

(Special to The Dispatc!i.l Goldsboro, N. C, April 28- Loren C) Bass, one of Goldsboro's most in fluential citizens, died at - Asheville this morning, according to a telegram received' by his parents here toaay. He had; been in feeble health- for some time and' recently went to Asheville, in hopes of recovering. The deceased was the- eldest son of Mrs.' L. N. Bass, of this city. He graduated from Oak Ridge College several years ago. He was an expep tional young man of splendid Intel lect and. indomi cable energy and gave himself to work with a never tiring zest that made it his chief pleasure: He had for several years held a re sponsiDie Position wun ? tne aouinern Cotton Oil Co., , m this . city and I served i ihnf -OT-oi-ir until WQC rnTTl - ... ... ... j.1 in that capacity until pelled, on account of illness, to give up. He leaves a .wife and three chil dren. The body will be brought here tomorrow and interment made Mon day. Following the testimony of the con victs the jury, together with Solicitor Burton and L. Clayton Grant, Esq., went to the stockade for the purpose of examining the lock that had been testified to by the prisoners and after they returned to the, city. Solicitor Burton issued the following statement: "The coroner's jury, in company! with L. Clayton Grant, Esq., and my self, visited the county stockade at or about 7 o'clock Saturday evening, and upon examination of the great lock, Which is the only lock that holds the trusties in the stockade, we found that the lock was in such condition as to permit anyone to open the door from the inside whenever he or she might desire. That part of the lock, about one and one-half inches in diameter, into which the key is fitted, was loose enough for even a child to pull it out at will and then all that was necessary fo open the door would be to put the fore-finger of the hand into the place from which this round piece had been removed and slip the lock either back- ward or forward. "Mr. Rivenbark, superintendent of the stockade, met us in the front yard of the stockade as soon as we were on the inside and examination of the great lock was made personally by Mr. Riv enbark and subsequently by each mem- ber of the jury and myself and our findings were as outlined above. Mr. Rivenbark stated at the time that he had no idea that the lock was in such poor condition and very frankly admit ted that anyone could open the door at will. When questioned, Mr. Shepherd, guard at the stockade, and in whose keeping Oscar Johnston was on the night Neal Walton was murdered, ad mitted that the lock had been in its present condition for at least two or three months." After the examination of the lock Mr. Shepherd is understood to have told Mr. Rivenbark in the presence of the jury that he had told him of the condition of the lock two months ago. Mr. J. Allen Taylor, who was to have been called In connection with a statement that appeared in Friday's edition of The Dispatch and signed by Mr. J. B. Hewlett, was not called, but advised to report at the jury room on Monday morning. When Mr. Hewlett was examined yesterday morning he told the jury that the communication was dictated to a typewriter by Mr. Taylor and the inquisitors are very anxious to learn all that Mr. Taylor knows relative to alleged efforts to throw the jury on a wrong trail and giving the guilty party an opportunity to escape.
