SAN FRANCISCO, July 22.-With
the wife in the case frankly declaring
her love dead, and with the husband
madly in love with his wife, the in
lteresting Won Brincken divorce suit
came to hearing today in the court
of Superior Judge Flood.
Mrs. Milo Abercrombie Won Brin-
cken, a San Francisco beauty of Vir-
ginia stock, is suing the ex-baron
Wilhelm Won Brincken, alleging that
she is entitled to divorce because
he was convicted as the brains of the
German spy system in the west Won
Brincken is serving a term in the fed
eral prison at McNeill's island.
The attorneys for Won Bricken threw
out the hint before the trial opened
that Won Brcken would not contest
the suit provided his wife would con-
sent to allow their two children to
bear the name of Won Bricken.
This is the final chapter in a ro-
nance that deeply interested society
on the coast, the ex-baron was as
handsome as the bride was beautiful.
At that time the German lieutenant
lore none of the odium attached TO
! that class now.

her husband through his trial and un-

Blaze in Wood Yard
Consumes 10 Cords of
Ben Burroughs Stock

Fire from an undetermined Or
igln yesterday afternoon consum-
ed 10 cords OF wood in the Ben
Burroughs wood yard south OF the
o. w. II. & n. station and for a
while threatened the big stock of
cordwood piled there. The fire
department answered the alarm
at 4:35 and prevented the flames
from spreading:
Whether sparks from a switch
engine started the blaze is not
known. A theory Is that matches
throws from the windows OF
some empty coaches in the rail-
road yard may have started the
fire. Hoboes ! ave been seen oc-
cupying these coaches.
A brisk breeze made the blaze
hard TO manage at first and the
wood burned like paper. The vol
unteer department made a quick
run. however, and prevented a
spread Of the fire.

.YANKs, REDS FRAME
UP FOR CHAMPIONSHIP
BY H. C. HAMILTON
Omitted Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, July 21.-Things are
beg'nning to shape themselves for q
battle between the New York Yankees
and Cincinnati for a worlds series
next fall
The two teams are the best in their
respective leagues and have behind
them shrewd managerial brains. If
they don't win, it will be because of
accidents.
Cincinnati has been all set to win a
pennant for several years but inside
disturbances bad management, and
one thing after another has oonspired
to throw them off their stride and
wind up with thcm at the wrong end.
Pat Moran seems TO have achieved the
impossible. He not only has every
man on his ball olud pulling for him
and playing hard every day. but he has
captured the affections of that tickle
individual, the CiI cinnati fan
AS for Miller Higgins, chief of the
Yankees. he coul0 do a lot better for
himself if he paid more attention to
the public but even under the handi-
cap of a manager who has failed TO
ihohc AthiSSiA BoFh'ais tiS AdihS diS
driving ahead with all their power,
and look like winners.
Huggins is a smart general He
studies baseball constantly. He has
the faculty of injecting plays at mo
menIs in games when the opposition
is turned upside down, their plans
scattered. Good generalship is over
the fact that the Yanks have
been handicapped by poor base-run-
ming.
There could be nothing more popu-
ar in baseball tb9n an American lea
que champio ns!ip in New York. where
he Giants have ruled the baseball
public so long and a National league
in Cincinnati, which is the
atber of professional baseball.
Both teams are strong hitters and
rave gathered much of their power
through effective pitching. %he Reds !
are a little shy on material of the lat
er sc rt, but the few beavers who have |
,eer coming through have done a fine |
OBJ.
The Yankees are overloaded with
'itching talent. Higgins is able to |
ling a high class star into practically
very game he enters, a fact which
makes the chances of the Cleveland
nd Chicago clubs fade. The white
OK are short of pitchers. while the
cleveland club is handicapped by
aving too many poor ones.

La Grande Adopts
30 Minute Parking
Rule on Adams Ave.

/ LA GRANDE. Ore. July 22.-
Adams avenue is to be rid Of its auto
mobile congestion, according to a
parking ordinance that has been pass
ed by the city commission, which has
already been published.
This conclusion was reached after
accident after accident had. occurred
and the number of cars has become
so great that the business section
must be relieved in some manner
The new ordinance provides that
cars shall not be parked on Adams
avenue between Fourth and Green
wood. But it does not prevent any
car owner stopping his car on the
proper side of the street while he
shops, so long as he does not leave it
stand longer than thirty minutes.
