A YELLOW FAKE-The gang
about the Democrat office yesterday
iobbed Buck Ludwig the well known
sporting writer and baseball batter
whom Comiskey was looking for a
year ago. In story headed His Sis
ter Is Heroine In Romance" it is alleg-
ed that Buck is a brother of Miss
Ethel Ludwig whose attempted kid
mapping by Prof. Fred Fitzgerald of
Cincinnati has set off a sensation in
that staid village, and also run Nam
ma and Ethel to the coast. 1t also adds
that Buck has a growing animosity to
his .wouldbe brOther-in-law 1t is be-
lieved that the lurid tale is inspired by
the undemocratic feeling existing be-
tween the Cincinnati Enquirer and the
Democrat, in the former of which it is
said Buck retains a controlling inter-
est. Ludwig emphatically denies his
relationship with Ethel and brands the
purported interview given out by him
to Memo Lewis, Harry West and JOS
eph Chisholm as a pipe dream too
