The Honeymoon
Not KissIess
'GAMRRIER TEsTIFIEs IN HIS
WEES DIVORCE SUIT.
TELLS OF THE ENGAGEMENT
She Sat in His Lap and They EN-
braced-Refused, However, to Send
the Engagement Ring by Express.

New York June 26.-Edward Victor
Gambler, the banker, took the witness
stand late today in the divorce suit
brought against him by Edith Russell
Gambler. former Atlanta society
girl, to refute her charge that she
spent kissless honeymoon. He had
not gone far in his testimony, however,
when adjournment was taken, and he
will resume his story tomorrow morn
ing.
She Wrote on His Shirt Bosom.
'I went to Atlanta and she met me
at the train with a kiss" Gambler de-
clared. She had rejected him in Jan
uary, 1909, he said, but accepted him
by mail year later. 'At her home
we acted the usual newly engaged act
She sat on my lap and we embraced.
She wrote on my shirt bosom: love
you.'
Ordered the Engagement Ring.
Gambler said he returned to New
York the next night and ordered an
engagement ring. Mrs. Gambler came
to New York later for the wedding
ceremony, he said.
Admitted She Didn't Love Husband.
Mrs. Anne P Adams, who spent two
days at Munich and Oberammergau
with the Gamblers while they were ca
their honeymoon. testified that Mrs.
Gambler did not act like a newly mar
ried woman. Il told her. Mrs. Adams
said, that she did not seem to love her
husband. She shrugged her shoulders
and replied that she did not. I asked
why under the sun she had married
him. and she said because she wanted
to live in New York"
soIicitous of Her Comfort.
Mr.. Gambler. however. was "contfn-
ually solicitous regarding Mrs. Gam
bier's comfort she concluded.
Forty of Gamblers Love Letters.
A batch of forty letters written by
Gambler during their courtship was
introduced. One dated Feb. 5, 1910,
and addressed to her at Atlanta, Ga,
expressed Gamblers unwiIlingness to
send her an engagement ring by ex-
press.
Would Not Send Ring by Express.
DO you know, my precious. that to
send an engagement ring to ones
f1ancee by express seems like an aw-
fully cold proposition the letter read,
zone that grows colder the more I
think of it. and that I can't reconcile
myself to-
No Express Driver as cupid's Messen-
"All the sweet and loving sentiment
that must needs be a part of the cere-
mony of presentation and placing of

now, so the only other course open is
for me to go to you. 1 see no way out
of it. and yet I will not see an ex-
press driver-maybe a niger at that

Forty-six DisIoeated or Broken Bones
in McGuire,s Hands.


New Orleans. April LA group Of
young Maps surveyed Manager Jim
gnarled and knotted fingers today with
awe and brought forth, from the old
boy a few facts concerning the olden
days when the catchers were not pro-
vided with the protection that they re-
ceive now.
An x-ray examination of Jim's
hands few years ago revealed the
fact that something like forty six
joints were disfocated or broken at
some time during his diamond career.
How could you stand it?. asked
Jack Adams
ooh, it was different then from what
it is now. It was q great feat in those
days for q catcher to catch eleven or
twelve successive games. When !
started we didn't have the big mitt
that you fellows wear now. We had
gloves which even the outfelders of
today would steer clear of. With the
glove on our fingers were completely
unprotected. There We're no fingers
in them.
THAT imitation of a glove and a
piece of rubber which we held in our
teeth to protect the loss Of our worries
constituted our armor.
"Of course, then the catcher was not
behind the bat all the time. He step
strikes or three balls. It makes me
shudder now when think of 1t. The
pitcher was only forty five feet away.
Do you think you would take a chance
now. even for a good sized bet, at
catching even the pitcher today who
possesses the least speed?
Every catcher had method of his
own for padding for the palm of his
hand. always had couple of pieces
of raw beefsteak inside of my gloves.
When Buckley caught Rusie he used
a piece of sheet lead tried that, but
without satisfaction"
Guess I will stick to the big pillow"
was Gus Fishers only comment:
