WANTS MARRIAGE ANNULLED

New York, Dec. 22 Rl-Mrs. Con- stance S. Oracle, widow of Colonel Archibald Oracle, a survivor of the Titanic disaster, has taken steps to annul her marriage to Humberto De Urbino on the ground of fraud.
 Bernard H. Sander, counsel for Mrs. De Urbino, said yesterday that papers in the suit are being pre- pared. De Urbino, it was charged by Mrs. De Urbino, had sometimes gone by the title of "count" and had represented himself to be of distinguished family and a mem- Der of the diplomatic service where as In fact he was neither.
 Mrs. Oracle and De Urbino were married in April 1924, and separ- ated early in 1925. De fUrbino is now reported to be in Chile and MT. Sander deplored the stand of the Cilean government in refusing to permit the extradition of De Urbino to America to face charges of lar- ceny and forgery made by Mrs. De Urbino more than a year ago. At that time she declared that her husband choked her and fled with money and jewelry, and passed check for S5,000 forged in her name.

New York, Aug. 20 P-Carl Mays whose strange delivery has mysti- fled hundreds of batters in the ma ior leagues, fights" every man that opposes him.
 "They raise their bats against me and l raise my hand against them. '' Mays recently told a Cincinnati in- terviewer. 'I don't like this How are you old timer?' attitude. on the diamond. I hate a man on the field but I want to be his friend when out of uniform"
 Mays. now the leading pitcher of the pennant- seeking Cincinnati Reds and pitching the greatest season he has known, has passed through base ball tragedy. While pitching for the Yankees in New York several years ago, Mays cut his submarine ball over the heart of the plate and Ray Chapman, Cleveland shortstop. all ways crouched, was struck on the left temple.
 Chapman weift. down and died in a hospital from the blow. From many clubs in the league came criti- cism of Mays methods of pitching and it was reported that the Detroit players had voted not to bat against him again. But the underhand art ist continued 10 pitch. Later he went to Cincinnati and early this season was very near release, but he rallied and moved down opponents in sen sational style.

LEADERS PLAY THE
 SECOND DIVISION
City League Has Three Games to
 Offer Fans Tomorrow

The three first teams in the City
 league play the three in the low er
 half of the loop tomorrow afternoon, but that does not necessarily mean that they will have easy games ell ! their hands. On the contrary, every one will probably have to play it's best to turn in a victory and keep its present position in the race. The West Ends and Speedboys are scheduled 10 meet at o'clock oil Diamond No. l. The former team showed it's strength by defeating the | Pirates last week and is favored to repeat tomorrow. With really solid batting and almost faultless fielding the West Ends will have further ard, their unbeaten pitcher, takes 1 the mound. The Speedboys will probably pin their faith in Pungratz
 who turned back the Burritts, but their all-around play is not as good as that of their opponents.
 At 4 o'clock the Rangers and Bur ritts will face each other on Dia- mond No. 1. The Rangers. with their steady defense and newly found batting punch, should offer a pretty fight to the league leaders and will probably send Harold Casey in 10 pitch. The Burritts with their slug ging attack but somewhat shaliy fielding, will probably use either Rose or Zembko, relying as usual
 on their superior speed and aggres- siyeness 70 bring them the victory. On Diamond No. at 2 o'clock the Robins will stack up against the Pirates. The latter team, although
 knocked out of first place last week.
 is still very dangerous nine. with
 a fierce, but uneven offense and d
 good pitcher in Hogan Carlson; it's
 fielding, however. leaves much to be
 desired In this respect it will be no worse off than the Robins, though, for they are wobbly on the defense; their attack is uncertain. strong in one game andhelpless in
 the next. and therefore hard 10 fig
