THAW'S SISTERS
NOT LEGAL WIFE
Of ENGL|SHMAN
Pittsburg Lawyers Say Mar
rage Falls of Itself Because
Of Technical irregularities
In Securing of License.
SAY THERE is NO NEED
FOR COURTS TO ANNUL.
Claimed ThaW's Sister Has
Always Been Single Wheth-
er or Not Earl Fulfilled His
Marital Duties.

Pittsburg, Jan. 10.-'Miss Alice
fhaw and the Earl of Yarmouth were
never legally married" is the start
ling statement made here to-day.
Certain lawyers and attaches of the
marriage license Office confirm the
statement While they admit that the
illegality of the marriage is based on
techicalities, they declare that the
English courts must see there is no
need to annul such a marriage; that
Harry X. Thaw's favorite sister is a
single woman and always has been
whether or not the mercenary and eff
Terminate Earl fulfilled his marital du-
ties.
Besides, these lawyers point to GER
tain facts as proving that Yarmouth
has always known that the marriage
was not legal; that indeed he silly
made it so in order that the separation
of the coupe might be easier when he
should desire it.
When the marriage license was talk
en- out Yarmouth went to the office

Yarmouth seemed profoundly bored
while he answered the license clerks
question and often asked Have / got
to answer all this?'
He gave his name as George Alexan-
der Seymour, but he signed the docket
AMI with
mouth" So the lawyers argue that he
never signed his name to the docket,
as the law requires, and that the H.
cense was issued Illegally.
Further on this point: On the day
Of the wedding a clerk in the marriage
license Office took the docket to Iynd-
hurst, where Miss Alice Thaw signed
it. The attorneys claim this would be
ample ground upon which to declare
the marriage void, for under the Penn
sylvania law a minister cannot marry
a couple unless the license has been
properly taken out.
Attaches of the marriage license Of
fice admit that such lax methods would
not be permitted today. They likewise
admit that everyone about the Office
was so excited over his part in the
marriage of the wealthy PittSburg
girl to q real nobleman that they did
not take the precautions they should
have taken. Some time ago a local
law firm took a copy of the page of the
docket containing the record of the
Yarmouth license. and a photograph
was made of the page. 1t was rumored
at the time that this was to enter into
proceedings to be instituted by Var

There Are Strong Objections
To Bills Which Have
Been Presented.
LONG DEBATES CERTAIN.
HOUSE COMMITTEE WILL INSIST
ON HAVING SOMETHING TO
SAY CONCERNING MONEY LEG
ISIATION.

Washington, Jan. 10-The situation
III Congress over currency legislation
is complicated It seems reasonably
certain that the Aldrich bill will go
through the Senate, but not until aft
er considerable debate The minority
seems disposed to support it, provi>l-
ed it is amended in a few particulars.
So far the only distinct objection made
to it by the democrats is that it pro-
poses to accept railroad bonds as Sc
curity for circulation. The outlook
for the bill in the House is not SO re-
assuring.
Too Much in New York.
4 large number of the middle West
republican members are in doubt
about the proposed legislation. They
are disposed to believe that the only
effect of the proposed law would be
to give the New York bankers more
money with which to speculate At
any rate. they want 10 hear from their
constituents before committing them
selves.
The House committee on banking
and currency is inclined to resent the
adoption of program which pro
poses to pass legislation without con
sulting this committee. lLlooks as if
the committee would insist on the
House considering a bill which it will
shortly report. Whether this bill will
embody all of the ideas of the Fowl
er bill introduced yesterday afternoon
remains to be seen.

GIANTS
FIND IRON MAN
IS EASY TO HIT
McGraw's Little Fellows Hang
Bunch of Hits on
McGinnity.

MARLIN SPRINGS, Tex, March 10.
BY hanging a wreath of five straight
hits around the neck of Joe McGinnity
yesterday afternoon the young Giants
at last realized their ambition to de-
feat the Regulars who have walloped
them SO persistently for the last two
weeks. The score was 5 to 2, a home
run by Mathewson saving the veterans
from a runless defeat. Six pitchers
worked in this game, which was
stretched to the regulation nine innings.
McGinnity opposed Ames for the first
three innings. The Iron Man did not
force himself, and used his underhand
delivery for only straight balls. A
bunch of hits to right field in the third
inning gave the colts a cluster of three
runs n won the game. There was
quite a crowd at the park, and the
spectators saw a scrappy game, for
each man did his best, and the two sets
of players worked hard to pull off
tricks on each other.
Matty steamed up in the fifth and
the juveniles ceased to do business with
his urves Taylor was crushed in the
last half, when, with a mar on base.
Matty slammed over the centre field
fence and spoiled a shutout. The mute
twirler stayed another round and gave
to Beecher, who finished in good
style, only two hits being scored on
him.
Crandall and Beecher had a pretty
Guel in the last three innings. The
new Hoosier, cyclone had good con
troll of his speed, and he let down the
young fellows without a hit. A stop by
Bridwell neal second base was the best
of many fine pieces of fielding behind
Crandall.
A four-inning game was. played in
the morning with McGinnity and Ames
pitching for the veterans and Malarky
and Crandall for the colts. The regu-
lars made the score 5 TO 2 in their
favor.
Before this game there was an hour
of signal practise for the infielders and
each pitcher was drilled in the art of
quick throwing to bases to catch run
asleep. There win be one game
today. starting about 10 o'clock. The
squad will work until early in the aft

CLEVELAND CLUB HAS SIX
CANDIDATES FOR FIRST

The Cleveland Club does not seem to
lack in first basemen this year. Ever
since they went South Addie JOSS and
Otto Hess have been working out on
the bag. while Bill Hinchman came
here equipped with a first baseman's
mitt and has been doing some fancy
work IN the sack. Detroit baseball
fans had a glimpse of Hinchman
on first last fall when Stovall had his
wrist cracked. 1t was the exhibition
that the outfielder then mad on first
that decided Manager Lajoie to at
tempt to make a first baseman of him
this year.
Otto Hess also shows real class as a
first sacker, and, inasmuch as he is
really a strong hitter when played reg
ularly, he looks certain to become a
fixture on the initial sack for some club
when his pitching days are over.
The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1908-03-13

Then there is JAKE Daubert, who
starred for the Marion Club of the Ohio
and Pennsylvania League last year,
and George Stovall, who is hare as
nails and playing in great form right
now. Pitcher Bill baltimore, who was
secured from Toledo, is another first
sacker. In fact. he broke in profess
sional ranks as a first baseman, and
might be still covering that bag had
not the Webb City team of the Western
Association been shy on pitchers.
A scarcity of fingers gave him his
chance, and he finished the season with
ten victories, n tie game and no de-
feats. The st. Louis Cardinals drafted
him, but released him to Toledo,
whence Cleveland secured him. He is
stockily built, something on the order
of 'Heine" Berger. and has the repu-
tation of being able to clout the ball.
