IN CONNECTION WITH.
SHOOTING OF HAMON
IRepubIIean a. ?. leased WIrel

ARDMORE, Okla, Dec. 2.-Search
continued tonight for Clara Smith,
wanted in connection with the shoot
ing of Jake l. Hamon, Republican ma
tional committeeman from oklahoma.
Reports from Kansas City, where two
trunks, said by the police to belong
to Miss Smith, were opened today
showed nothing that would throw any
light on the whereabouts of Miss
Smith. County Attorney Russell
Brown left today for an unannounced
destination in Texas.
Mr.. Brown was asked by a newspa-
per man tonight whether he believed
that Miss Smith had visited Mr.. Ha-
mon at the hospital where he was
taken after the shooting.
Il have reasonable grounds to be-
lieve that she visited Mr.. Hamon at
the hospital" said Mr.. Brown. "but l
cannot say positively that she did"
Inquiries at the hospital were met
with statements by nurses and physi-
ciens that Miss Smith had not visited
Mr.. Hamon.
There was no further comment from
county officials in regard to the
whereabouts of the woman. who is
charged with assault with intent to
kill in connection with the shooting
of Mr.. Hamon. Mr.. Brown reiterated
that he had traced the itinerary of
Miss Smith from Ardmore through
several towns In northern Texas, and
thence to Dallas and Cisco. where E.
w. Sails, a Dallas service car driver,
left a young lady" after buying a
ticket to FL Paso for her. The young
woman, according to a sworn state
ment by the driver, in possession of
Mr.. Brown. confessed to the driver
that she had shot a wealthy man in
an Ardmore hotel after we had quar-
relied"
The confession was made on the
way from Dallas to Cisco, where the
/ driver said he became suspicious" and
| refused to carry the woman farther.
County Attorney Brown said that
/ the Sails statement strengthened his
/ belief that the shooting of Mr.. Hamor
was not accidental"
Frank l.. Ketch, Mr.. lannon's bust
ness manager. has reiterated that tn,
shooting was the result of an "accf.
dental discharge OF O .35 calibre revol.
yer which Mr.. Hamon was cleaning.
The warrant against Smith still
awaits service In the office of tn,
sheriff and the charge of assault witt
intent to kill never has been changed

OLD MAN DIVORCE
ENTITLED To REST

"Old Man Divorce" said Tuesday
night he thought he would close up his
chain cutting shop during the month
of December and take a we'll earned
rest. His aim to maintain a record of
zone a day" had been reached for the
year with the close of business on
Nov. 80, he said and he did not want
the people to get the idea that he was
grasping.
Thirty-six couples, he said, appeared
in his shop during the month of No
vember to ask that the tie that binds
be severed After viewing the situa-
ton, he said. be thought perhaps he
would put an assistant in his shop
during December while he took q va
cation. This arrangement, he said,
would tend to relieve the congestion of
business with the opening OF the new
year, which would naturally occur if
the shop were kept closed for thirty
days
With the opening of the new year, he
said, he expected to put forth a bust
ness campaign for two divorce suits
for each day during the year 1921. The
total number of suits filed at the close
of November. he said, was 36S. The
highest number in one month was Al
in April, and the low month was jan
uary, with % suits.

At Present Gait
Ruth Will Add
Hon,ers to Record
By Norman -. Brown,

z II Babe Ruth slams out homers
the rest of the season at the rate
he clipped them on the first month
Of the game he will set a new record
by few homers at least.
Because Of the great expectations
the fans had for Babe and because Of
the opinions OF students Of the
game that under new conditions
Babe ought to hang UP at least forty
homers this season. the great slug
gers start seemed slower than 1t
really was.
In the first month of the season.
while the Yankees were playing
twenty-five games and Ruth was
taking part in twenty Of them. the
great Mauler laced out Ave home
runs. Twenty-Five games 10 one
seventh Of tho Yanks schedule. Co
Ing At his present pace Babe, there
fore. ought to hit thirty Ave homers.
But, to q man. fans figure that
BABE isn't going right yet. He got
away TO q slow start, and was handi-
capped q few days by torn car
tilage on his ribs.
The two days games against Chi
cago at New York in which Babe
got three home runs indicate what a
rampage he can 90 on occasionally.
And few Of these three homers-in
i've days will help pile up. circuit
clouts.
r Pennock. Harper and Fortune of
the Red Sox failed to halt Babe
when he got his nrst homer and an
nexsd double with Il. The very
next day was when ne hammered
Kerr and wilkinson for two homers
and triple while the White sox
were visiting New York. The next
day Babe helped chalk up the hrst
defeat Of the season for Claude VIII
liams by polling out Q homer while
Williams. Payne and Loudermilk
were trying to stem the Yanks' at
tack.
Prom April IA TO May -, Babe COL
lected. besides his i've homers. one
triple, three doubles and nine singles
in seventy times up, for a batting
average Of 257.

his belief that the Giants are destin-

prefer Junaeting about the country

Those who condemn the Clients

right UP in the bunch, with \ fair
chance to cop. The team they have
to beat TO win the pennant-the Reds
ARE rot very far in front Of them.
and It should prove no great task for
the Giants to pull up on even terms
with them.
The Giants are bound to get ahead
because they have the stun, and you
cannot keep . team like this one

Braves looked 20 poor during the
first month or 90 OF the season that
