Typist Studies Law and
 Wins Own Divorce Case

Boston, Sept. 25 P) - A lyplst who took law course so that she might gain a divorce won her case yesterday. Mrs. Ida F. Korb of Re- we're, Mass, who is employed in the United States revenue office, received a divorce from her hus- band in Suffolk county probate court. Her husband was Dr. Harry Korb, a dentist in the navy.
 Several years ago Mrs, korb brought a divorce action but at that time it was not allowed be- cause of a technicality involving jurisdiction. Undismayed, she began attending a law school to learn enough about her case to warrant further steps toward a separation from her husband. Having gained the knowledge she desired, she en- gagged counsel and this time pur- sued her suit successfully.
 They were married in Provi- dence October 21, 1921. Mrs. korb said that her husband deserted her December 2s the same year. She was granted the right to assume her maiden name, Ida F. Endel.

Trenton, N. J.. Sept. 25 tP)-Spe- cial Prosecutor Alexander Simp- sons request for a foreign jury to try the four defendants indicted in connection with the Halls Mills mur- ders was denied late yesterday aft ernoon by the supreme court.
 As result of the decision, the defendants will be tried before a jury drawn In Somerset county, where the indictments were found.
 Jersey City, N J., Sept. 25 P(- Informed of the denial of his plea for a foreign jury to try the Hall- Mills case, Special Prosecutor Alex ander Simpson last night announced that his next move would be an ap- plication for the severance of the trials of the four defendants.
 The October calendar in Somerset county was crowded, he said, and he doubted if the case would be brought before the court until De- tober r.
 Trial by a jury of citizens drawn from Somerset county will be serious handicap" in the opinion of MT. Simpson. The supreme court was not to be criticized, MT. Simp- son declared, but he expressed great surprise at the denial of his appH- cation. Trial date will not be set until he had secured permission to try the defendants separately ne said.

ST. LOUIS GOES
 WILD OVER TEAM
Hornsby'S Crew Wins First Title
 in History Of the Game

St. Louis, Mo, Sept. 25 P}-After
 night of revelling, St. Louisans to- day awoke with the realization that
 the Mound City is no longer the
 "doormat" of the National league | that Manager Rogers Hornsby and i his Cardinal crew have brought home
 the first pennant in long career of l big time circuit competition. The celebration, continued until late hours. Rain poured down dur
 ing the early part of the evening, l but the merrymaking went on. 1 Carrying part of the celebration to | the greater St. Louis exposition grounds in Forest Park. participants | there witnessed a fireworks display by.
 Starting from none too brilliant beginning the Cardinals pushed their way to the front in the greatest race in IS years in the National league loop. It has been the hottest fight since 1908 when a post-season game was necessary to decide the title be- tween the Giants and the Chicago Cubs.
 As late as May 15, the Cardinals were in the sixth place, later came a steady climb that found the Red Birds on June 13 in third position. On June 27 they were in second place. Then came brief slump and until August fl the club remained in third place.
 Following another drop came the little worlds series here with the Pittsburgh Pirates, in which the Car dinals displayed their true mettle' winning four straight after being held to a tie in the opener and shut out in the second.
 The Pirates were not the only team to be reckoned with. and the Cln- cinnati Reds took the lead, only to be slapped back with 7-S defeat September 5, to allow the Cardinals to again climb to the top. Then Boston took three out of four from the Cardinals. and the Reds again spurted to the lead.
 With a hove 10 top place. Horns bv's men regained their stride and won five out of six, while the Reds were finding tough going against the Giants and the Braves. This gave St. Louis another lead, which was re- duced by a three to defeat at Phil- adelphia, the dropping of one game ot New York and another to Brook lyn.
 Then, by routing the Robins, the Cardinals increased their lead to two and a half games. The Reds. mean while. were suffering at the hands of the Phillies.

MANY ARE SEEKING
 CHANCE AT TITLE
Dempsey, FirpO, Person, Mum
 and Others Want Matches

New York, Sept. 25.-tP-Chal- lengers for the heavyweight boxing crown, scarcely settled as yet on the head of Gene Tunney, fighting marine of Greenwich Village, al ready are clamoring for matches with the new champion.
 From Buenos Aires, Luis Angel Firpo, who knocked Jack Dempsey from the ring, announced last night that he intends to start serious training in the hope of regaining the form that got him battle with the Manassa puncher in 1923.
 The Argentine heavyweight said he had called to Jimmy De Forest, his trainer in the unsuccessful at tempt to lift Dempsey's crown, ask ing for advice before plans are de finitely made. Firpo wants to sail from Buenos Aires in March to ar range fights in Canada before meet ing heavyweights here whose con- quest would gain him the position of logical contender for Tunney's title.
 The first thought in Dempsey's mind when he congratulated Tun- ney on his victory in the ring at Philadelphia Thursday night was 6 return battle with the Fighting Marine. AS the battered fallen champion shook hands with his con- queror, he asked that Tunney meet him again. This Gene agreed to do. When the new champion called to see Dempsey at his Philadelphia hotel yesterday, the former title holder renewed his request for a return engagement and again Tun- ney promised to oblige him.
 Tex Rickard Is considering an- other match between the warriors of the Sesqui. Jack has asked for a match and 1t may be put on next spring" he said last night.
 The promoter who staged the bat tie in Philadelphia after taking the fight from New York to Chicago and then back again, said he did not believe Harry Wills, negro con- tender, would be given a chance at the heavyweight garland under his auspices "because of the scurrilous tactics of the faction supporting Wills.
 Two other candidates are Harry Person, champion of Sweden, who whipped Johnny Risko of Cleveland in his American debut and knocked out Jack Adams in one of the pre- liminaries Thursday, and Monte Mum, Nebraska walloper, who pummelled Hughie Clements on the same card. Both were mention ed as potential contenders by Rick ard.
 The new champion, already under contract to fight any man Rickard selects, declares that he is ready to meet anyone. Two Long Beach oil promoters wired both Dempsey and Tunney offering a S750,000 purse | for a return battle near Los Angeles l in January.
 The syndicate owning the Weplb- 1 ly stadium near London, Eng, have invited the champion and Dempsey to hold their next meeting there on Derby Day, early in June. Tunney was quoted as saying that his terms for such a fight would be a purse equivalent to that which Dempsey received for Thursdays battle, ap- proXimately $700,000.
