Another important baseball meeting Is
scheduled for tomorrow. II is a special
conclave of the International League TO
consider the awarding Of the franchise
OF the Binghamton club. which retired
from the league. The meeting, which
will be held at the Imperial, Is likely to
be hot one, for the club owners ara
disagreeing on the ACCESSIBILITY of re-

the owners want to patch up their
differences with the big leagues and re-
turn to the old drafting system.
Five cities. Montreal. Providence, Ak

Edna Goodrich placed in the hands Of
George Gordon Battle, the well-known law
yer. copy of A will which she said Nat
Goodwin had drawn in her favor while he
was still a pleading suitor. 1t made her
the chief beneficiary. She was named in
the document as Edna Goodrich" Since
there we're no other claimants it seemed
at the first round of legal artillery that
she owned the last will and testament.
Maybe he didn't expect to go so soon,"
she said to her friends. "At any rate we
were always friendly. He may have
wished me to have what was left. He had
provided well for his parents"
She would make a fight for what re-
manned. Whether he had settled upon her
at their separation 100000, as some had
said. OF $1,7OO,0O0, as others believed. was,
in her opinion, immaterial. She would press
her claims for whatever estate was left. :.
"Oh, will she?" From Georgia Gardner's
eyes shot flames that dried her tears.
We'll. there are some things she won't
have. have a kind of will myself"
Unlike the form dable legal document
which Miss Goodrich had taken from her
safe deposit vault, the paper" Miss Gard

Goldsmith, was a sheet of note paper of
feminine smallness and fineness. The actor

Maxine Elliott no longer desired that glory
which reflected from the name she shared,
she divorced him.
From Co-starring with him, she had ac
cumulated a fortune, which she invested
so discreetly that it bred another and
greater fortune.
Edna Goodrich, tired of the connubial
tTammels indicated by her title, asked
her freedom. She secured it with a settle

Goodwin in the position of one who was

The ranch four hours by train or motor

companied her lord to their ranch They
had talked of spending their vacations on
those acres. But when the domestic war
clouds rose the plan was abandoned. Yet

- EFORE Nat Goodwin died, few
weeks ago at his apartments in New
- York, he said:
"The trouble with me is that have al
ways liked beautiful wOmen-and they have
always trimmed mes"
The famous comedian earned a great
deal of money in his stage career. But
there was little left when he died. He had
had five wives, and weddings and divorces
and alimonies are expensive.
And now a squabble arises over what
little estate Nat Goodwin left. The we'll
known stage beauty Edna Goodrich, who
was Wife No. 4, produces a will in her
favor and asks for whatever her divorced
husband left. simultaneously Miss Georgia
Gardner, younger but less famous foot
light beauty, brings forth a later but
rather informal document and claims part
Of the estate for herself
Each of these beautiful brunettes, battle
in their dark eyes, and in the repressed but
incisive tones in which they refer to the
other as She" will ask a decision of the
courts upon her claims. Both wept at the
passing of the comedian who had been
called ''the best actor in America" To
friends who commented upon her mourn
