Brooklyn, May 15.-BreSnahan Cubs finally got tired of being shown up by the Dodgers. They laid aside all of yesterday afternoon for repri- sals and accomplished such an artistic piece of revenge that even e. H. Ebbets didn't have a word of excuse Tn one of the most terrific hitting fus- ilades ever seen by devotees of the national pastime, the Windy City chal- lengers fell upon three of Wilbert Robinson's pitchers and smote them hip and thigh for a 19 to 4 victory.
 N It wasn't baseball -at least not for long. After the first inning it was homicide The visitors seemed sim ply to have gone daft. They swat ted everything thrown up to them. The best pitcher in the country could
 not have stemmed the tide, once the
 torrent of base knocks began to ac-
 cumulate Pete Standridge, a husky right handler from the coast. certainly found the softest spot of his life for
 an eastern debut. Chicago could have
 won yesterday without any pitcher. This is casting no aspersion on Stand ridge, who stumbled into just such another cinch against the Pirates a 1 couple of weeks ago..

 Beginning Monday and to continue indefinitely, a, reorganization sale will be held for the purpose of clearing out the stock on hand, raising ne cessary cost incidental to the reor- sanitation. Exceptional bargains can be found in this sale and it will be well worth ones time to visit the store during the sale.

The first two have always lived in this city, but are now 1SSAuSiAlS o1e N6W 1OFh.

MERE PUPPET IN HUSBANDS HANDS"
 SAYS MRS. KEHOE

Mrs Dorothy M Kehoe, who lives at the Hotel .McAlpin, New York city, obtained from the Supreme Court Jus tiee Blur, Saturday, an order permit ting her to serve by publication her husband, Charles F. Kehoe, in an ac- ton to reopen a divorce that she got February 4, 1910. The complaint drawn by Harry N. Steinfeld, 27 Cedar street, was filed this morning
 Mrs. Kehoe, she is better known in Bridgeport where she lived with relatives on Harrison court and at the Hotel Stratfeld, Mrs. William F. Paimenberg, was the widow of Will liam, at the time of his death, senior berg's Sons, manufacturers of window display forms.
 Mrs Kehoe sets forth that after she came into her legacy her present 1us- band made violent love to her and that she reciprocated his affection. One day he suggested that she could make money in stocks. She gave him $50. 900 with which he opened an account with Solomon & Co.,, in his own name as she later found.
 Upon this discovery, she says, con- vinced that she had srbecome 8 mere puppet in his hands," she refused to wed him and engaged herself to a. business man. The wedding cards were being engraved when Kehoe in duced her to throw over her new fance and marry him. This she did Sept. 30, 1908, in Hoboken, N. J.
 From that time on, Mrs. Kehoe says, she gave her husband sums of money until he practically spent her entire in- heritance. He then suggested, she al Ieges, he would like to live a bachelors life for a time and induced her to ob- tain a divorce on evidence he submit ted. He promised to marry her again, she declares, after his bachelor spree
 She says she sued for divorce in Westchester county, where a decree was awarded her They then returned to live together as though nothing had Ihappened," because Kenoe was not quite ready to re-enter the state of bacheIorhood.
 As the divorce was obtained by co1- fusion as alleged, Mrs. Kehoe wants it set aside.
