WAS WE'D BY CONTRACT.
Mother of Claimant to tLucly'' Bald
win Estate Testifies.

Los Angeles, Cal. Dec. 16.-The
story of E. J. C''Lucky') Baldwin's as
sociation with Mrs. Lillian Ashley
Turnbull of Brookline, Mass, was told
on the witness stand in the suit of IL
year-old Beatrice Anita Baldwin
Turnbull his putative daughter, for
$2.5OO,OO0 share of the $11,000,OO0 es-
tate left by the turfman.
Mrs. Turnbull, the girls mother, oc-
cupied the stand. She first met Bald
win, she said, in a park in Winchester,
a suburb of Boston, following a CORE
spondence which started when she
wrote to him to ask for clipping
from the name of a famous race horse.
Mrs Turnbull, or Lillian Ashley, as
she then was, was %, and Baldwin So.
He wanted to adopt her as a daugh-
ter, she said, but two years later when
she came to California, he suggested
marriage. That was on March 8. 1899.
Baldwin claimed he had been di-
vorced; but instead of seeking a
clergyman or a justice of the peace,
she added, he drew up a contract on
hotel stationery, which both signed.
Four days later, Mrs. Turnbull testi-
fed. he took the contract from her,
telling her that she might lose it and
that he would put it in safe place.
The sentimental temperament of
Baldwin showed all through Mrs.
TurnbulPs story. Photographs of her,
alleged marriage, were introduced in
evidence.
One of these bore the number "22.''
"That does not refer to my age
said Mrs. Turnbull. ST had counted
on the morning after our marriage the
number of kisses Mr.. Baldwin gave
me. They numbered just % and he

CUT OUT SPIKES.
Something May Be Done This
Year to Abolish Them.
Cobb, for One, Charged With De-
liberate Knitting.
USE ACORN SHAPED ONE
New Cleat Invented by Trainer
Quirk Of Washington.
LajOie, Cobb, Elberield, Wal
lace, Chase, All for Them.

New York, Dec. 16.-Discussion over
the spikes worn by baseball players is
again going the rounds, and it is said
that the American League will consider
adopting the acorn-shaped spike, which
was invented by Trainer Quirk of the
Washington team.
The subject was brought to the front
during the season of 1900. when Mana
ger Mack charged that Ty Cobb de-
liberately spiked Frank Baker IN a
game at Detroit. Demands were mace
that the spikes should be done away
with and that leather cleats, such as
football players wear, should be sub
Stituted. President Johnson OF the
American League and some of the club
owners went into the matter very care
fully, but they, like Manager Mack ana
President Shibe of the Athletics, de-
clared that the steel spikes were neces-
sary for the ball tossers. Last winter
various new devices were submitted TO
the magnates, but none of them met
with approval
During the past season some of the
players, especially inf1elders, expert
mented with different new styles of
spikes in the hope that the razor-edged
affairs could be abolished. Now 1t is
claimed that Lajoie, Cobb, Elberfeld.
Wallace, Chase and others have decid-
ed that the acorn-shaped spikes are the
best yet devised, and they VIII urge
that all players be compelled to wear
them. This spike presents very small
surface which could cut another player.
and at the same time 1t enables the
player to grip the ground firmly.
Billy Hamilton, who was one of the
greatest runners the game ever knew,
said last winter that he never wore
anything but a very short spike. With
all of his base stealing, Hamilton sell
dom even scratched another player. The
ball tosser, as rule, likes to wear long
spikes and to have them sharpened like
a razor, and it has been such weapons
that have caused the flesh tearing.
Fewer players were injured by spikes
last season than during 1909, which may
have been due to more care having been
exercised by the runners, and one of
the most serious problems of the mag
nates-how to prevent injury on the

for Frank to call himself champion.
