MAOHUTAS, West Plttston Bottling Works. A27t3 WILL SEEK DELAY Attorneys for Robert A.

Edwards, of Edwardsville, accused of slaying one sweetheart to be free to marry another, indicated today they would ask for a delay in the youth's murder trial, set for September 10. Bobbie's attorneys have given no intimation on what the defense will be in an effort to save the youth from the electric chair. Edwards, who has made two alleged confessions that he killed Freda McKechnie, 26, so he continue a romance with Margaret Crain, 23, East Aurora, N. music teacher, spent his fourth Sunday in Jail reading a Bible. The Bible was sent to him by Miss Crain, the "other girl," who promised to "stick by him to the end." Miss Crain, however, has not communicated with Bobbie since August 6, except to send him the Bible according to prison officials.

To offsot any Insanity plea by the defense, Edwards has been examined by two state physicians. Preliminary mental tests were given the prisoner and a further study of his reactions will be made this week- Another interesting announcement pertaining to the Edwards case was made by Jack Griffith, Forty Fort, an uncle of the defendant who stated definitely that Attorney Evan C. Jones has been engaged as chief defense counsel. He will be assisted by Attorneys John C. Phillips and Leonard D.

Morgan. Attorney Jones Is a patient in Mercy Hospital. He has not been active in the practice of his profession since he was stricken while returning from Florida last Spring. Announcement of the engagement of Jones as Edwards' defender is expected to silence the frequent reports that noted criminal lawyers would plead in bshalf of the boy. At various times it was reported that Charles J.

Margiotti, Chares Barrow, John K. Scott and other noted barristers would preside at the defense table when the case is called for trial. TRIJ KILLED ON EAST John Hayes, aged 41 years, who resided on the Bast End Boulevard, outside of Wilkedbarre, met a tragic death Sunday morning at two o'clock, when he was struck and killed by a hit-and-run driver on the boulevard.

His body was discovered lying in the center of the highway by a motorcycle policeman who was returning to Wllkesbarre from the radio station on the mountain. He took the man to General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. His skull was fractured and he also suffered head and body Injuries. Mr. Hayes was a World War veteran.

He leaves his wife, formerly Miss Olive Hurst, and three children. also his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Hayes- The funeral will be held from the home of his father-in-law. William IIoTit, 137 ZwAttiuul street, Wiiiiet- sorre.

The 1033 champions held the upper hand throughout the major part of the game only to lose out In the final Inning of fluky home run by Mike Butchkoski, the coal producers third sacker. Sevastopol Sports Club edged closer to getting Into the elimination series by defeating Duryea Bears, 6-5, in a 10 Inning game at Sebas-topol, while Brown town was shoved back considerably by their 2-0 defeat at the hand of Swoyerville. Six hits in seven innings were secured from Joey Gennack but they were sufficient for Swoyerville to turn in a hard earned win over Browntown.

Joe Sitar, Swoyerville hurler, was stingy with his hits, granting Brown town but 2. Ed Polk was the only player on eittier team to get two hits. The game was one of the most Interesting of the day and clear.y showed the strength of the two teams that have waged close contests all season, Kehoe-Berge 6, Avoca 5 Mike Butchkoskl's long drive into center field, which became lost in the weeds after it got out of reach of Outfielder George, gave Kehoe-Berge their third win of the season over the strong Avoca club in the last inning of their game yesterday afternoon. Three week ago Avoca dropped a game to the coal producers through a last inning rally. Vince Garvey hurled for Avooa and true to Man-ager Ray prediction held the leaders at bay during the major part of the game.

Brooks and Fed-den were the only opposing batters to get more than one hit, they tallying two. Goul and Nadolski each had two for Avoca.

PANTHERS EXTEND Will STREAK 0 DOEN GAMES DO-OR-DIESERiES WITH CHAMPIONS By THERON WRIGHT, United Press Staff Correspondent New York, Aug. 27. Chicago's Cubs move against the league-lead ing Giants for the second game of their series today and there is a do-or-die attitude about the Cubs that is likely to cause little shivers of trepidation to course up and down the spines of Memphis Bill Terry and his champions. The Giants still hold a five-and-a-half game margin, one less than they held yesterday morning. But a half dozen games may be big or little, according to the way a club is facing.

For a winning club it Is plenty; for a losing outfit, It is not so much. The Giants cannot help but re call the harrowing details of their last visit to Chicago, when a dazzling five-game lead was knocked for a row of milk bottles. The Giants went home a game and a half ahead and were glad it was no worse. Yesterday the big guns of the Giants were conspicuously silent. In fact, the Giants made as many dumb plays as they made hits-three each.

Fat Freddy Fltzsimmons, who pitched most of the game, walked five men three more than he fanned. He gave ten hits in seven innings, while Mel Ott, who got a double and a single, and Travis Jackson with a single, were the only ones who could touch Lon Warneke's delivery. That is not quite championship baseball. Te Giants will be satisfied to break even on the current series, or even to take one game-but a Chicago sweep would be all but disastrous to the Giant morale. The Cub score yesterday was 7-1.

St. Louis meanwhile took a severe headache from Brooklyn, which managed to split with the Cards, taking the first 11-5 and dropping the second 7-2. The split lost St. Louis a chance to gain on both rjETROIT. Who doesn't want to go back to the woods? Especially on Aug.

29, when Frank Wixom, most colorful of the survivors of Michigan's lumbering days, stages his annual lumberjack party in the village of Edenville, situated near the junction of the Tittabawassee and Tobacco rivers, once used as the mighty spillways for the rafting of logs down to the Saginaw mills. The lore of Paul Bunyanism becomes something more than fiction there, with the fast-fading ranks of lumberjacks again reveling In the sport that once was their Industry. Jovial and active at 72, Wixom, president of a power company, looks the true part of the sponsor of such a picnic snow white hair flowing down to his shoulders. A formsr circus owner, as well as a lumberman and "boss," Wixom has created a carnival In his home town that attracts champions of the now almost forgotten pastimes of the backwoods era. Burling on Roller Skates TN 1933, more than 25,000 from points as far away as New York, the Dakotas, and Tennessee, at tended the unique and picturesque celebration.

This year, Wixom will be the "boss" of the day in party expected to draw more than 30,000. The day Is to be given International significance by the participation of the William Girards, father and son, of Gladstone, In the log rolling numbers. The elder Glrard, who learned his art in the camps of the upper peninsula of Michigan the land of Hiawatha, has been the international tltleholder since 1926. The crown was acquired an International lumbermen's convention In Omaha, and wai defended aganlst French-Canadian experts at Hall-fax this if iju LJ ani 5 Harry RAYSON (By United Press) Mike McNally's Grays held the commanding position of the New Yor Pennsylvania Baseball League today In the close contest for the Utle of the latter half of the 1934 pennant race. The Grays moved to the top Sat urday by beating Reading while Scranton, former circuit leader, dropped a game to Elmira.

Yesterday the streng thened their lead when they took two games rom Hazleton, 18-2 and 6-5, making their week-end contests a complete success. Red McBride, Gray's leftfielder, helped his mates with a home run in each game Sunday. They were his 25th and 26th of ttie season. The second game was halted at the end of fire and one-half innings because of the state's Sunday baseball laws. Mike Martineck's slashing triple with a mate aboard broke up a 13 inning game between Scrantoi and Wllkesbarre, rivals of anthracite region, the Miners winninp 4 to 3.

Blnghamton divided a with the Elmira Red Wings. The Trips easily took the opener by tho lopsided score of 14 to 2, but dropped a seven-inning nightcap, 6-5. Errors and bases on balls proved costly to the Trips in the second game. Bob (Lefty) Heffleflnger, Harris-burg hurler, was bark in his eld pitching form yesterdav when he allowed Reading but live scattered hits as the Senators won, 3 to 1. The win gave Harrlsburg an even break in their week-ond engagements fith the Sox.
