 It was a pretty game and wei, played throughout. Slim Graham, star twirler of Piedmont, and the property of the Little Rock Travel- CTS, was used by the visitors. but he was found for nine clean bingles. enough to win the fray.
 stewart took the hill for Talla- dega, and with the exception of the seventh stanza, he pitched stellar ball. The Greyhounds found his offerings but for five safeties, three of them coming in the seventh frame.
 No visitor obtained over one hit, but Graham's single scored the only tally of the Greyhounds.
 The hitting of the 'Degans was led by Arnall. J. Greet and Johnston, all of them obtaining two cracks each in twice as many trips to the plate. Johnston and Arnall have been on a hitting bee and their recent hitting has been the feature of near ly every game. The Talladegans played jam-up ball. and not a single pebble was made behind Stewart.

The denial of Walter F. Ennis,
employe of the state hospital
farm, that he had knocked
his wife's teeth loose, or that he
had deserted her for Mrs
Eva Wolf, made IN his written
answer to his wife's complaint,
did not prevent Judge George G.
Bingham from granting Mrs. En-
mis- a divorce on the grounds OF
cruel and inhuman treatment this
morning when the case came up
for hearing.
Mrs. Ennis repeatedly testified
on the stand this morning that
her husband cursed her and that
in April, 1921, he told her to get
a divorce, and when she failed to
do so he found an excuse to swear
at her.
Though Ennis was not placed
on the stand to testify to the
truth Of his wife's statement that
he was in love with Mrs. Eva
Wolf and whether he had said of
the correspondent that he loved
one drop of her blood" more than
he did HIS wife's body, the court
decided that facts in the case
permitted Mrs. Ennis a divorce
and awarded her alimony Of S25
