Stamford, Conn.-Mrs. Mildred

divorce from her husband, Edwin e.
scohn. because, she said. she had been
tsgpplanted in his affection by the

Edwin, she alleged. just wouldn't

son opened but spent his time and
money in travelling about the country
with various teams. He left her at
home. she says.
In 1915, she charged. he disappeared
entirely. The only way she could
trace him. she continued, was by writ
ing to various big league managers

seen Edwin. Connie Mack of the Ath-
1etics. replied to her query that he
mad and the exasperated Mrs. Cohn
brought suit for divorce.
