A parrof was in his room behind some curtains. One of the guests, a very voluble lady, talked continuous- ly. When she stopped, a sepulchral voice demanded from behind the cur- tains, "Let me see your tongue, please," Jean: "So you married your em- ployes?

BARNES BAFFLES KEYS--EASY WIN Reading, Pa., April to's dashing athletes pounded out 15 base hits here yesterday and took advantage of loose fielding to re- gister an 11-to-5 victory over the leading Keystones. It was Read- ing's tenth defeat of the season. Reading has won only one game. The Leafs, after twice coming from the rear to tie the score in the early innings, hopped on George Bell, Reading right-hander, for three runs in the fifth inning, to sew up the deeiscion. Then they made certain of victory by solving the shoots of Glenn Liebhardt, a rookie sent here by Connie Mack for five runs in the ninth. While Toronto was pounding two Reading hurlers for 15 units, Frank Barnes, giant southpaw, was selling along easily. Though touched for 12 hits, Barnes was not in trouble after a shaky start. He easily was fhe master of the situation after the third inning, and eased up only in the ninth after his mates had given him a huge advantage. Ferrell, New York, N.Y., April 30.--Wes- ley Ferrell's no-hit, no-run game against St. Louis yesterday, was the first recorded in the major lea- gues for nearly two years.

JIMMY McALEER REMOVED BY DEATH Youngstown, O., April 30--Jame: n. ("Jimmy") McAleer, aged 66, ne of thesorganizers of the Amer- an League, former owner of the Joston Red Sox, and former mana- or of the St. Louis and Washington | American League clubs, died yester- {day after a long illness, In addition to his baseball career, McAleer also was in the theatrical business as part owner of a stock company.

He adjourned for three months an action brought to have declared null and void a marriage. The petitioner was Kathleen Wil- liams Rockftort, of Helensburgh and the respondent Alfred Theodore | Koch, alias Neilson, whose present address was unknown to her. The case was adjourned. Miss Rochfort said that she and Koch were in-love, and in spite of her parents' opposition, became en- raged. - They entered into a scheme to bring pressure on their parents to consent to the wedding.' Hands Over Anvil On April 3, 1929, they motored to | | of marriage, neither of them .jntend- ing that it should be a rcal marriage. The ceremony was performed by a shoemaker, the parties joining hands across an anvil. A certificat. was handed to them professing to certify that they had been married by the law' of Scotland. It was signed by the couple, witnesses and the shoemaker, was designated "priest". The couple were told that the mar- riage had to be registered within three months. Koch placed a ring on Miss Rockfort's third finger of the left hand, and she said she regard- ed it as a symbol of her intention to implement, at a future date, her promise to marry. After the ceremony the two return- {ed to their horhes and did not live tovether. "The unfortunate thing for the petitioner," said Lord Putman, "is | that there is no corroboration of her story so far as the essential facts of the absence of intention to enter into marriage 1s coficerned." The case strengthened his view that steps should be taken to have it made illegal for these self-appointed "priests" to perform 'the marriage 'ceremony, or to call them to account for taking payment on their issuing what professed to be ac sertificataiof two who TO GET CONSENT "prtended" Gretna Green Gretna and went through a ceremony: MONTREAL TO HAVE NIGHT LACROSSE Montreal, April 30. --Installation of the lighting system at the Mon- treal stadium for the games of the new International Professional La- crosse League has been started un- der the direction of Leo H. Murphy of New York. Twenty-two projection units will throw 72,000 watts of electric light energy on the playing field with the elimination of shadow and the minimum of glare, it is claimed. The league will open its season early in June with six clubs from four cities, Canadiens and Sham- rocks of Montreal, Yankees and Giants of New York, the Plymouths of Boston and the Maple Leafs of Toronto.

CAMBRIDGE FROLIC ENDED IN ARREST Young Man n Declared Girl's Hat Was Put in Pocket London--(By Mail) "Why in Heaven's name were not the other men jointly charged with the defendant? Was it because they were undergraduates?' This question was asked by Sidney J. Miller, a solicitor, when he appear- ed to defend Richard Errington, aged 24, at Cambridge police court, Errington, who gaye an address at an hotel in Princes-square, London was charged on remand with stealing a woman's hat, some beer and cigar- ettes, the property of an undergradu- ate living at the Hermitage, Newn- 'ham, Cambridge. Drunken Frolic He pleaded not guilty, and Mr. Miller described the whole affair as a drunken frolic. Mr. Miller said that Errington, in company with others, had visited various hotels in Cambridge on Sun- day, and finished up with an end-of- term luncheon at which they all had too much to drink. The visit to. the Hermitage was made by all the members of the party and any charge of theft should have been borne jointly by those who went to the house. Errington said he went to the Her- mitage at the suggestion of his friends with whom he had been lun- ching, Found in Pocket When they got inside the house his friends went into a room on the ground floor while he, went to speak to the landlord. He afterwards joined his friends, who were having some beer. He drank some of the beer, but did not smoke any cigarettes. One of the others must have put the hat in his pocket, he said. It was a small close-fitting hat, and he knew nothing about it until it was found on him at the police station late that night, It was all a foolish prank, Erring- ton added. Errington was discharged. The wife of Dr, Roy Andrews, the American achaeologist, has been granted a divorce on the ground of her husband's prolonged absence during his exploration. of the Gobi Desert. Probably in no previous casc could the word "desertion" be so lit- erally applied. --Sunday Observer, marriage which was nothing of the kind, ° Pai > || WESLEY FERRELL GPORT SNAPSHOTGQ | INTERNATIONAL | | IN HALL OF FAME Cleveland, Ohio, April 30--Wes- ley Ferrell pitched a no-hit, no- run game against St. Louis Browns here yesterday to win his fourth game of the season 9 to 0. Ferrell also hitting a home run. Besides pitching the first no hit, no run game in the majors in nearly two years, Ferrell poked a mighty home run blow into the centre fleld bleachers," driving in another man in the fourth inning, and sent two runs across in the eighth, with a double off the right field wall. Earl Averill also con- tributed to the carnage by hitting his third homes of the season, with one on. Ferrell was throwing them in past the batters with amazing speed, eight Brownies striking out on his "fast and faster" balls. He allowed only three walks, while three others reached base on ex- tra errors by Bill Hunnefield. Not a runner went farther than first base, however. Further than that, only two balls went to the out- field. The Cleveland speed merchant won his fourth game of the sea- son, and with the season hardly more than two weeks old, seems headed for a better record than last year, when he won 25 games and compiled a record as the most effective pitcher in the league. He has lost one game so far, whereas last year he lost 13. Besides hitting a home run, with one on in the fourth inning, Fer- rell drove two runs across in the eighth with a double. His home run was a long smash into the cen- terfield bleachers. Averill also hit a home run over the fence, scoring one ahead.
