MAN SUED SAYS
SHE'S NOT WIFE

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-"I am well

sician and composer, I supported my
husband for twenty-one years from

"The woman who is suing me Is not
my wife. She has been a boarding
house keeper ever since 1 knew her.
She is seventy years of age and has
never supported me. Her income has
never exceeded $1,000 a year."-Fred-
erick May.
These two statements sum up the
contentious OF the two parties to a
separation action in the supreme
court. When Justice Guy had heard
both sides he denied Mrs. Kenney-
Mays application for alimony pending
trial
Mrs. Kennedy-May, as she calls her
self in the court proceeding, resides
at Lynbrook, L /. May is in the cleo
tricaI business Mrs. May informed
the court that his income is at least
$4,000 a year. but he says she has
exaggerated.
In her complaint she says she
started living with May in 1892, after
he had told her a marriage ceremony
was unnecessary. She said they lived
as man and wife until October, 1917.
To prove to the court that she was
never his wife, May said. he would
produce at the trial the woman ne
married many years ago. They sep
arated, he said, but are not unfrtendly.

One brigade OF cavalry advanced
north OF the Amiens-Chaulnes rail-
road. while two others pushed on
ahead to the south as soon As the
infantry had attained the second OBJ
jectives' and had captured the old
Amiens line Of defense, including Har-
bonnieres, Cain and few other
towns.
The cavalry held the advanced post
tions until the infantry caught up.
Light forces OF foot soldiers sup
ported the advance in the early
stages, but the cavalry soon swept
beyond their infantry.
Another brigade OF cavalry distin-
guished itself. thanks to the sagacity
OF a brigadier general, who dis
patched two squadrons to surround
Harbonnieres. These squadrons, upon
reaching the northern and southern
outskirts OF the village, encountered
violent machine gun nre, but report
ed they were able to hold on, tho
topography being favorable.
The general, seeing an opportunity,
sent q reserve regiment of cavalry
north of Harbonnnieres with orders
to push on to Vauvillers, leaving the
original squadrons on the outskirts
OF Harbonnieres.
The plan was a success. The cav
airy reached VauVillers, leaving q
squadron north OF the village to
guard the flank, while another was
sent to the district between Eauvil-
lers and Rainecourt.

COACHES ARE SCARCE

Supposing the big colleges determine
to conduct sports on a wide-open basis
next fall-what will they do for
coaches? This is a matter that is caus-
ing considerable concern to those who
are strenuously opposing efforts to cur
tail college sports. Scarcely a day
passes but that another football, base

ing work with the army or navy.
Each day the number OF men who are
really fitted to coach big college teams
grows less. 1t Is true that the woods
are full OF coaches, but men of the
peculiar qualifications required to han
die big bodies of men in the modern

the result OF years OF development. 1t

DON'T TAKE
TOBASEBALL MUCH

A prominent major league baseball
player. who recently returned from
France to carry on certain work for
the Y. NJ c. A, says that baseball is
not taking so readily with the French
soldiers as many in this country be-
lieve. The Frenchmen still adhere
strongly to soccer. which they picked
up from their English friends early
in the war.
According to this man, baseball Is
rather a puzzle to the Frenchman.
who conceives OF it as = Wild danger
Gus game. and difficult to master,
whereas soccer is played with the
feet, and does not require nearly so
much finesse.
or course. the American soldiers
are spreading the game rapidly and
making converts in unlimited quanti-
ties. and the fact that the French do
not have soccer as a national game,
but merely as an adopted recreation,
may hasten the drive for baseball in
that country.
This American says that the time
will come when IL will be seen that
major league baseball teams, or
teams of that caliber. will have to be
sent to France to amuse the soldiers.
It will have to be worked much on
the scale that the theatricals are pro-
duced.
The reason is plain, according to
this athlete. After days Of wearying
struggle and strain in the trenches,
the soldier is hardly in the physical
or mental humor to essay a game of
baseball. He wants to be amused
and have his mind distracted from
lighting. So he would welcome a
chance to sit in the bleachers and root
to his hearts content for some of his
old favorites of the diamond.
