What Jameson neglected to in

IN his effort to cover up his ex-

Declare MARRIAGES
May Not Be Legal

in Tacoma, many of whom have
remarked since their divorce, to
learn whether or not they are big
amists, single or married.
Clerks digging down into the
court records today found many
divorce cases in which the origin
al divorce petition and complaint
had never been filed in court, al
though served on the defense, and
In which divorces had been grant
ed by the court.
According to law, a person is
not legally divorced until six
months after his divorce petition
has been filed in court If the
petitions have not been filed, the
divorce is not legal, and the pro-
ceedings must be gone over again.
Officials are now running through
other books to determine the ex-
act number of such cases.

That there are many men and

Numbers of divorcons in Taco

safely obtained legal separation
are still married in the eyes of
the law.
And they will remain married
until they start their divorce pro-

 Here is what a New Yofk writer says of Bil1 Holden. formerly with New London:
 Many players do not understand baseball law Among them is Bill Holden, who played centre field for the Yankees until he was sent to the BaItimore Orioles as part of the deal for Birdie Cree. Holden at first de- clined to report to Jack Dunn and opened negotiations with the Feds. He demanded so much ready cash for his services, however, that the Feds fin ally decided to steer clear of him. Holden bobhed Nup yesterday at the Yankeesf Headquarters in the Forty second Street Building with the an- nouncement that he wanted his back salary and was ready to report to Chance. He was informed that his contract had been assunied by the Orioles after all of the major league clubs had waived claim to his services He was also advised to see Jack Dunn. As Holden has been idle since July r he is wondering who will pay him for the time that has Elapsed.

When one club has baseIits to throw to the birds and the other club doesn' t have any. we give you one guess re- players were suffering from a hit famine yesterday so Hartford emerged with a to Q victory at Newfield park. Lefty Louis Gervafs was given a warm greeting by the Senators. He was Iarruped even harder than the score shows for the local fe1ders saved him by sharp work in the early innings Slams that bounced off the shfns of yinfelders and liners that bounded away from outhelders were regarded as errors by some fans but as mat ter of fact the boys were doing well to even stop those hot ones.
 Freddy Reiger, who tossed for Hartford, had his curve ball breaking fine and Bridgeport was helpless. The only healthy smash was made by Bus ter Bowman, who burned one down the right foul line for two bases in the first Stow and Bowman helded superbly for the locals.
 Hartford looked much stronger than in previous local contests. Silver Groh. obtained by trade from Spring he1d, delivered a c1eanup triple in the seventh and Pinch McCabe, the old He made atcoup1e of singles. Rapp, a Western league catcher, was behind the bat.

DING AND BRO0kES BEAT
 BRITISH TEAM

Boston. Mass, Aug. 7-As result Of the first days play in the final round of the Davis Cup contest, Aus tralasia has two out of the needed three points which means victory over the mother country, and the right to challenge America, for the trophy of international supremacy.
 The result of the opening days con- test came as bitter blow to the hopes of England's sympathizers, for it prac- tically spells defeat for their team
 Summary-Davis Cup. Final round, singles.
 A. F. Wilding. Australasia, beat A. H. Lowe. British Isles. 6-a. 6-1. 16-14.
 Norman E. Brookes. Austra 1asia. 6-S. 1--6, 7-5.
 Perhaps never in the history of the famous Longwood Cricket club have two more sensational matches, two contests filled with more amazing ups and downs and furnishing such thrills, been staged on the exhibition court.
 In the first battle after Lowe was apparently beaten by the ex-world's champion, Wf1ding, he came to life with a wonderful rally and forced the third and final set to thirty games-a Davis Cup competition record-all fill -ed with tennis of the most sensation al nature imagina b1e.
 Tn the second contest, after Parke of Englapd had carried the score to two sets all and had run up a lead of 5--3 and 4o-30 in the deciding one- just one single point needed to tie the score-Brookes made one of the great est stands in tennis annals and al though twice more within a point o1 i losing, fought the match out with bull dog determination, and finally pIucked victory out of the very fire of de- feat.

 Another good play was contributed by Buster Bowman in the third. sGroh slashed one that ezervais was just able to touch as it bounced over his head. Bowman managed to grab the ball and got the runner at first by step.

For the first time in his long career on the diamond. BhI Yale has been compelled to quit the game because of injuries He has just left the Bell lows Falls, vt, team of the Twin-State league because of swollen thumb. which made 1t impossible for him to grasp a bat. Yale during the many years he played first base for Bridge port was never badly hurt. Tn fact he made the unique record of going sornething like seven seasons without losing q day.
 The old boy did not intend to play this year but was finally induced to sign with Y ork, Pa~s of the Trf-State league. He left there in the early part of June when the club had financial troubles He then went to the Twin State league. While putting the ball zon a runner, Yale swung his hand against the players shoulder and the thumb b1ossomed right out. Today it is as big as a cucumber.
 The Twin-State teams are drawing fine crowds, according to Yale. North ampton. Mass. has fine attendance the Eastern association next season. r ale declares Chief Snyder is going well for Brattleboro.
 A young catcher named Smith sat on the Bridgeport bench yesterday. He is a New York seni-pro and will be used if anything happens to Crook. Smith is good sized youngster but we can't tell what he can do until he gets into battle.
 Frank Schu1te, about the last of the old time Cubs with the present Chi cago team. has made his peace with Manager OsDay after a, dispute which resulted in the players suspension : Schulte was sore because OsDay let him practice before a recent game and then, without informing SchuIte. sent a recruit named Knisely to center. Schulte said he was himi1iated by be- ing publicly benched. After a. talk last night the dif1cu1fies were adjusted and Schultes reconsidered his deter rnination to join the Federals.
