SS7,5OO JUDGMENT
AGAINST WILDA BENNETT
Mrs, Katherine Frey Awarded Dam.
ages Against Actress for Alien
alton OF Affections.

M!neloa, N. Y, Oct 26 Rl-Mrs.
Katherine Frey. OF Louisville, Ky,
today was awarded Jury's verdict
for S37,500 against Vida Bennett,
musical comedy actress. for alienat-
ing the affections Of the plaintiffs
husband, Charles C. Frey, race horse
owner and sportsman.
The case was given TO the jury in
supreme court last Friday afternoon
and sealed verdict was returned late
Friday night. The verdict was read
when court convened this morning.
The case was tried before Supreme
Court Justice Faber.
Mrs. Frey sued for 100000. The
trial lasted almost week. Miss
Bennett and Frey sat in the ~~urt
room as Mrs. Frey, on the witness
stand, accused the actress OF steal
ing the affections OF her husband.
Vida Bennett made her biggest
hit perhaps in Apple Blossoms.
She Is OF the demure type and Is
considered TO be good looking.
Miss Bennett came into the court
room on the arm of Frey few min
utes before the verdict was opened
and Mrs. Frey entered just as the
verdict was being read.
William J. Fallon, counsel Tor
Miss Bennett, Immediately announc-
ed that he would appeal. His mo-
ton to set aside the verdict as being
contrary TO the weight OF evidence
was denied. Fallon then asked per-
mission to argue similar motion
next Wednesday which Justice Fab
er granted.
Miss Bennett smiled when the YER
dict was read,
Verdict or no verdict, know ]
am all right. OF course I do not In
tend to pay IT," she said.
Frey, who sat beside the actress
said There will be an appeal. Don't
worry about that"
Mrs. Frey said she was too happy
to talk. II feel that my suffering
! has been somewhat allayed," she
said. THE verdict shows that these
things cannot go on unchecked IN
New York"
Considerable testimony was taken
on the question whether Mrs. Freys
husband Charles c. Frey. wealthy
clubman and turf follower had been
pursued and won" by the actress
as charged by Mrs. Frey or whether
he had, as he testified, ceased to
love his wife before he met Miss
Bennett in 1923. Breakfast parties

ceased to live his wife in 1922
Counsel for Mrs. Frey referred to
Miss Bennett as "a Broadway doll
Who saw what she wanted, and got

Al world record at hardwood
duckpins is claimed for the Bel
mont team of the National Capital
League that knocked down 1861
pins IN d regulation three game
set with the T. i. Keane team at
the Kingpin No. I.
Weidman, Morgan, Simmons,
Phillips and Miller, the Belmonts,
collectively averaged 124, with Rad
Morgan topping the crew with q
set Of 433.
Morgan came within one pin of
tying the city record held by Ray
Chaplin. Chapin's 434 mark has
stood for several years. Morgan's
games were 142, 1S4 and 157.
Weidman's set was S84: Sim
mons 352; Phillips $50 and Nil
ler's 339. The team games were
621, SGT and 643, the last being q
seasons record. Every individual
game was better than 100.
It was beyond doubt tbs most
remarkable bowling score ever
rolled here.
The Belmonts made a total OF
sixty-one marks, OF which thirteen
were strikes. Morgan had a tough
break In his great try for q record
when in the fourth box OF his final
string, he counted only two on

Jack Turner, middleweight pride

for ten rounds Of furious smuggling.
He wants to prove to4 washington

on New Years night when he lost
To Joe Bashara, Of Norfolk, and
also wants to insure another con-
test with Bashara by defeating
Owens. who already has decision
over the Virginian.

feat since coming to Washington, 3

that he didn't earn 1t, but because

I've made since coming here.
Ever since that night. though
I've been training. / have reached
my fighting weight this time with

honestly expect to whip Owens
Then I'll challenge Bashara for a

to battle him again in the same
ring where he defeated me-"
At the same time. IL Turner
thinks he can swap wallops with
Mike Owens Monday night at the
Barracks, he may be flattened for
keeps. Owens Is said to carry d
terrific wallop, especially in his
right hand. If he happens to drop
that wallop on Turner'S jaw. Wash
ington Barracks may be lacking a
middleweight pride inside of eleven
seconds. Owens has twenty-seven
kayo wins in the last two wears
and he Is coming here confident OF
adding one more to his string.
Turner and Owens have been
to weigh 100 pounds and
to box ten rounds. Wise boys
around town are whispering that
the bout will never go the distance.
They think one or the other will
take a sleeper inside of the limit.

At LAST

NEW YORK, Feb. For five

was sent to the wall just once too
often, though, when the Hacken-
sack High School team, which also
halls from New Jersey, succeeded
in punching the wonder basketers,
80 to %.
Passaic has had some narrow
escapes in that five-year string of
victories. In many contests the
team has fought with unwavering
courage to gain a verdict in the
last moments of play. Against
Hackensack the Passaic team wag
cred a bitter fight in the last
quarter to overcome a slight lead.
Every time the wonder team scored
Hackensack did likewise.
In five years Passaic rang up
9.413 points, as against 3,237 for
their opponents. The highest score
made during the run was las to S.
made against Williams Props, OF
Stanford, Conn. The winning
streak started under Coach Blood,
who left the school last year, in
1919. Blood is now coaching the
