TODAYs BEST THOUGHTS
HASTY DIVORCES

The four judges OF the district and
county courts here have done a COM
mendable thing In agreeing to use
their influence and authority to pre-
vent hasty divorces. says the Colora-
do Gazette. Yesterday they announc-
ed that hereafter no divorce cases
will be tried In the local courts until
after thirty days from the time of
filing the suit. and that no default
cases will be permitted. The purpose
Of this is to prevent collusion and the
other evils incident to hasty action.
Judge Little well expressed the situa-
t.on when he said that he had never
heard OF a divorce case in which an
Immediate hearing was necessary.

merely disgusting but positively in
decent In the spectacle OF . man or
woman contracting another marriage
Immediately after q divorce. Yet the
thing happens with amazing frequen-
cy. and not the least repugnant phase
Of 1t Is that It is done just a. often
by people OF the highest social stand
ing as by those who are not suppos-
ed to know better.
American divorce laws are In q
chaotic condition. Each state has a
code OF its own which conflicts In
some way with those of most other
states. There Is urgent need OF re-
form and revision all along the line.
and there is need most of all for 4
uniform law in all states. But since
this seemingly is an unobtainable goal
1t has been striven for without sue
cess for many years-the only chance
OF relief lies In the adoption by the
bench generally of some such course
as has been outlined by the local
judges. The courts cannot wholly
clarity the divroce situation but they
can help materially.

Playground League championship, as
result of it's victory over the
Washington Street School lats, to 3,
at the Bloomfield Avenue Public
School athletic field, yesterday after
noon. Sussex's record this season is
eight victories and no defeats. The
title-holders lost a game to the Ber-
gen Street School team, winner of the
Southern League championship, but
as the battery of the Bergen street
aggregation was ineligible, the con-
test was thrown out
Pitcher Burnett of the Sussex team
was the individual star OF the game
yesterday. He held the Washington
street schoolboys to pair of safeties
while heretired thirteen on the strike
out route. besides scoring a run and
clouting out timely hit. Hecht, the
Washingtons box artist, also twirled
effectively, holding his opponents to
six hits. Arthur g. Balcorn, principal

round ended six runs and six hits

RALEIGH AITCHISONI IS AN ALL-AROUND STAR

Raleigh Aitchison pitched his final
game in Newark livery. at least for
the season of 1918. yesterday and
won so easily that Manager Harry
Smith excused his star southpaw
after five innings to give Rube Hall
an opportunity to show his wares
and develop his education as an In
ternational League twirler. The score
when Aitchison left the battle at the
end of the fifth inning was 80 and
the final tally was AL.
Buster" Brown. who pitched. or
rather essayed to pitch for the
Toronto team. was no puzzle at all,
as might be cleaned from the box
score. which showed twenty hits for
the Tigers. Joe Kelley allowed
Brown to take his medicine the same
way that Kent got his on Sunday.
The Tigers made more hits off
Brown. but scored one less run.
Strangely the scores were nearly
alike. Newark winning the second
game of Sundays double-header ISL,
while the score was 14-1 yesterday.
In their last three games the Tigers
have raped out forty-four hits
against Toronto twirlers for an aver
age of IA 2-3 hits per game. The
Bengals' biggest round yesterday was
the fifth inning, when six runs were
scored. In the sixth round five
Tigers rounded the bases.

In the matter of lining out safa

the leader. He set the pace with
four hits and a sensational one-hand
catch spoiled a home run for him
in the first inning. O'Hara leaping
high in the air to eaten the ball.
Jack Dalton shone as a run-getter,
touching the cushion four times for
four tallies. Dalton had two doubles.
Strangely the Bengals had few extra
base-hits in comparison with the
total of bingles they rolled up. There
were only four large-sized clouts
among the bunch, Swacina having a
double and Myers a triple, in addition
to Dalton's two doubles mentioned
above
The Tigers left eight of their men,
bers on the bases, chiefly because
they were tired of running around
the sacks and were we'll satisfied TO
wnd up with twenty hits to their
credit
Before the game Manager Harry
Smith had to pay q fine of $40 for
complaining about Umpire Tom
Kelly's work in Mondays game.
Kelly was sick and Mullen worked
alone. He threatened to put Smith
off the field but Gagnier came
through in the hero role by produce

Rudolphe in straight heats of a ten

little champion outclassed his rivals
and won about as he pleased. Collins
failed to show his form of last year
and was unable to give the champion
battle when he came by. Collins was
second In both heats. Wiley took the
first by a lap and the second by a
lap and a half.
