DIVORCE IN DECLINE
Los Angeles Plan Lowers Rec
ords in Court so Per Cent.
Homes Are Not Broken Up and City
Enforces Payments Of AIlmony,
and Soon Husbands and
Wives Make Up.

Los Angeles, Cal.-That so per cent
of the cases Of trouble between man
and wife, which formerly would have
ended in divorce and the breaking up
of home, now end in reconciliation
under the system Of "divorceless" ALI
mony, is the statement of Hugh @.
Gibson, chief probation officer; and
that much larger percentage could
be saved from divorce If larger stan
and more means were obtainable is
the opinion he advances as a result
of trying this system for two years.
The "divorceless" alimony consists
In the payment OF alimony without d.
vorce proceedings, and has been in
effect since January /, 1911. when 1t
became law that failure to provide
is a felony. Before that time the only
redress a woman had on this ground
was divorce. Now she may apply to
the courts or the probation depart
ment, il there are children, on the
ground of felony-and hubby must
pay up. the alternative being the rock
pile.
And if he goes on the rock pile at
s1.50 day-more than the average
man makes, according to Gibson-the
court collects the entire amount and
pays it to his wife and children.
Il believe fully half our cases are
saved from divorce now" said Mr..
Gibson. "ln year we must average
500 cases where there is failure to
provide; We easily save $50 out OF
that number from divorce. Unless
the trouble is very real and hard
a mans heart is apt to soften toward
his wife and babies within a few
months, and in five per cent of the
cases, within sixty or ninety days he
makes overtures of peace and effects
a reconciliation. OF course we con
tinue to keep supervision over the
families-particularly IL there are
children. And sometimes the peace
business doesn't go, and they are bacl
on our hands; but usually it sticks
and instead of a divorce a ruined homI
and children without father, there il
happy home with everything as /
should be.
I'm the last year we have handled
approximately $4,000 in this divorce
hess alimony money. We cannot taxi
more than sixty per cent. of man.
earnings, and we have no set ratio
The amount is fixed in accordance no
only with what he makes but with hi
wlfe's condition, the number of chill
dren, and other matters affecting thei
needs.
Gould we handle other specific d
vorce charges, such as drunkenness
or 'afinities,' and save fifty per cent.
I don't know about the fifty per cent
because we haven't experimental, bu
we certainly could prevent many case
of divorce-many cases."

CHANCE WILL
TRY OUT COLE
As COMEBACK
Fans Look for "King" to Show
His Old Form With the
Yankees in 1914.

NTEW YORK, Nov. 22.-Among
many other things likely to
be worth watching in the
American League next season, will be
the comeback effort to be made by
King Cole, one time Cub pitcher. and
erstwhile eminent barber in Chicago.
It may be remembered that Cy
Falkenberg, the Nap pitcher, did a
comeback during the season which
died during the rainy days of Octo-
Der. One of the first things Cy did on
his return from the minors was to
peel off ten straight victories, which
is fair job for a man who has once
been stamped as through, finished.
done and ready for the discard.
Falkenberg was there with his hair
in a braid, and American Association
tipsters to-day are predicting as much
for Cole. Having introduced Cole to
high society, Chance knows just about
what he can do The trouble with
Cole has appeared to have been that
he found paths that led to other
places than fame and strayed from
the straight and narrow. He did not
keep in condition--and then came the
skids.
Cole will be but one OF a couple of
dozen new men picked up by Chance
during the last season. OF the TWEEN
ty-six players Chance took to Ber-
muda last spring. but ten are now
on the payroll. OF those sent to the
discard Chase and Lelivelt are the
only ones TO remain in fast company.

By James Clarkson.

~HICAGO, ILL, Nov. 22,-Ban
johnson. president of the Amer
lean League, yesterday an
nounced that the spring meeting of
the American League will be held
later than usual. The date VIII be
March 7 and it will be held in New
York. Charles A. Comiskey and his
world touring baseball aggregation
will reach New York March 8 and
the meeting will be held the follow
ing day in order that Comiskey may
attend. At the same time the Ameri-
can League magnates will give the
Old Roman a royal welcome home.
Were it not for the fact that Com
my and his troubadours will be miles
across the deep blue sea the meeting
would be held in February. The
spring meetings of the American
League are usually held during that
month.
However. the schedule makers will
long have finished their work and
every club owner in the circuit VIII
know where he stands as to holiday
dates" etc. At the March meeting
the schedule will be officially adopted:
there will be banquets galore and the
wine merchants of Gotham will be
MANY dollars stronger when the
American League officials head for
their respective homes.
Huqains Anxious for Trades.
The National League magnates APP
pear to be busy with two subjects.
They are inducing Governor Tener, of
PENNSYLVANIA, to take a perfectly good
job for term of years and they are
trading Konetchy, the Cardinals big
first sacker, to at least three clubs In
the circuit. They are also still work
ing on our own II. Zimmerman. The
latest has it that Honey will either
go to New York, Cincinnati or Pitts
burg. The Pittsburg deal came up
Ii is said when Barney Dreyfuss met
Miller Higgins at Columbus during
the recent meeting of the minor
league moguls. Now, just what B.
Dreyfuss would give for Konetchy We
have not yet ascertained. Rumor has
1t that he Is ready to meet Higgins
halfway, and as Hug is one manager
who has a right to be strong for the
trading stuff, the chances are that he
will shortly put II squarely up to
Dreyfuss and ask him for two or three
of the Pirates stars.
Another angle is that McGraw, the
crafty leader of the New York
Giants, has first call on Honey. How
ever, McGraw is now tossing about on
the sad sea waves, and the chances
are that If Honey Is to go to the
Giants the deal is now all framed.
John B. Foster, secretary OF the
Giants, is on the job in the New
York office, and it may be that he
will fire his final shot just as soon
as Dreyfuss and Tinker name their
propositions.
Higgins has stated that he will
trade his entire team il he can get
