New Ulm review., 1921-03-23

And now comes the report that
Clara Smith Hamon, mistress of the
Ardmore, Okla, oil and railroad mag
nate, Jake L. Hamon, whom she killed
in their apartments in that city, will
enter: the movies to reveal to the
world-or such part thereof that will
tolerate salacious flms-her life story,
young women will be forewarned
against entering into illicit relations
with the filthy rich. Clara Smith
Hamon came dangerously near to
paying the supreme penalty for her
sins, as did her notorious consort, and
it would seem that she would shun a
re-enactment of her life of shame on
the screen, If she is devoid of common
decency to such an extent that this
fact does not appeal to her, someone
in authority should nip her movie
career in the bud, for it will not tend
to appease the demand of decent people
for cleaner photoplays.
James A. Stillman, senile multi
millionaire president of the National
City Bank of New York City, the
biggest financial institution of its kind
in America, sought to rid himself Of
his young and vivacious wife-whom
he accuses of being ''too friendly" with
other men-via the divorce route.
But Mrs Stillman has proved that
two can play at the same game by
countering with suit. for divorce,
alleging that the money king showered
his affections and wealth upon "other
women" In all of the newspaper
accounts which we have read anent
this sensational matrimonial tangle,
we have failed to discern any SEM
blance of an allegation that either
party thereto is Socialist, an Anarch-
ist or Bolshevist. Or is free love one
of the dogmas of the Radicals" which
the over-rich have inscribed into their
creed?!

Pitchers Who Give Babe Ruth
 Good Ball Crazy, Fohl Says

Lee Fohl. leader of the St Louis Browns, believes that any pitcher who gives Babe Ruth a good ball to hit at is crazy Therefore it is fair ito conclude that all the hurlers working under the direction of the Mound City pilot are endowed with rare sense of discretion. It is one round cinch that Urban Shocker has plenty of common sense, and no mat ter how far one may search there is no brand of sense to be preferred to common.
 Shocker followed the orders of his chief to perfection on the last trip of the Yankees to the Mound City, with a result that the Yankees, struggling in the fell clutch of circumstances, dipped their standard to the Browns It was a touch blow for the Hugmen. Victory would have put them just half game behind the Cleveland Indians.
 AS int1mated previously, and in fact set forth in general, Shocker took mighty good care that Ruth would get no good balls to hit. And the number out made no difference. Shocker wanted to win that game. So, in tho third inning, with two down and Carl Mays on second base.

 Ill the fifth. with two out and Few ster on second, the same /. campaign was followed. Each time Frank Ba- ker was hailed by the crowd, and with the Trappe farmers record, as pinch hitter on the road trip it was expected that he would come through, but Baker failed each time.
 Lee Fohl directed the operations of Shocker and gloahed in the failure of the Yankees and the discontinue of Ruth. He yelled his directions from the bench When the game was over Foh1 said: "Of course, the crowd wants to see Ruth win, but we are fighting for place, just the same as the Yankees are, and we have the common ambition with all ball clubs. We want to win, and are going to win if we can. Now. here is the thing with baseball men and Ruth. Any time you give that big fellow a good ball he is going to knock it right out of the park. You have a chance with almost any other player in the world except Ruth. You can't play your outfielders in the middle of the next block, and therefore one must protect himself"

 Last season the Alpine quintet lost the city title by two points and they have hopes of putting a stronger team on the field this year since they have brought in the Rambler team that held the Junior City title for three years and lost but one game las season.

 McCann Full of Hope.
 Don't worry, we'll be there," was Gene McCann's reply when quizzed about recent behavior of the Derbies. Sure, we lost the games and I'm not going to attempt to take any of the credit from New Haven and Pitts field clubs for walking off with those batting slump Other clubs have them and never expect to go through the season with any club without them. The team is playing a faster fielding game than a month ago and everything is harmonious among the players. We'll come back, don't worry. You can say for me expect better breaks during this week.
 McCann suddenly vanished from the bali park yesterday after Jupe Pluve had put a dent in the full pro- gram of the day, after hopes had been raised that one game would be played. It was a big day in the "Rain Check League" Secretary Jimmy Kelly distributing close to 1,- games. Incidentally, the rain caus- ed a big dent in the treasury depart ment's expectations.
 Afeer New Players?
 After McCann mySteriously flown rumors were rife that he had hur- ried off to the station to board a New York train in search of some major league talent. As previously said, McCann is after a pair of veterans to steady the reanrs-two players who can hit the ball. An interesting an- nouncement within the next few days should not occasion any great sur prise-
