GILDA DENIES
She Will Wed
HER MANAGER
Husband Charges Dancer
and Theater Aid Lived
Together in London.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE New
York Daily News published a copy
righted article by John Chapman
today which said that Gil Boag,
husband of Gilda Gray, had &C
cused the motion picture actress Of
having frequently and habitually
committed misconduct" with her
manager, c. D. Krepps.
The Daily News said it had re-
ceived its information from Port
Washington, Wis, where Boag is
now staying.
Miss Gray arrived from Europe
Sunday and denied she would
marry KreppS, the newspaper said.
Devoted to Her Art
Ridiculous" she was quoted as
having said. 1T may be the custom
in America for famous actresses and
prima donnas to marry their man
ayers, but as far as I'm concerned,
do not follow customs.
My divorce action is going
through. I'm going to get rid of him
(Boag) quick, and I'm not going to
marry for some time. I'm devoted
to my art
Miss Gray boarded a train for
Chicago where she will visit her
parents-who are named MichalSki
and not Gray-and then she will go
to Milwaukee to see her 14-year-old
son by her first marriage.
The Daily News said Krepps for
merly was an usher in a Chicago
motion picture theater. Now he is
said to earn $500 a week as Miss
Gray's manager.
Miss Gray May File Suit
While Miss Gray's divorce suit is
on file in Port Washington there
was a report current today that
Boag would sue for divorce in New
York. Boag was quoted as having
said that Miss Gray had no legal
right to file suit in Port Washing
ton, because she was a resident OF
New York.
Boag, who at various times has
conducted night clubs here, married
Miss Gray in 1924, after he had
brought her here from Chicago and
helped her attain prominent place
in the theatrical world. She was
first married to John Gorecki, said
to have been a bartender in Cudahy
Wis.
The Daily News said Boag'S
answer charged that Miss Gray and
Krepps lived together at the
Piccadilly hotel in London while
Miss Gray was making a motion
picture, "Piccadilly"
Krepps arrived from London on
the boat with Miss Gray.

MOIST HURlERS
FAST BECOMING
EXTINCT TRIBE
Ranks Of Once Great Galaxy Ol
Spitball Pitchers Dwindle
to Half Dozen

New York, March 20. (AP) -
Another famous tribe - the spitball
pitchers of baseball lis rapidly be-
coming extinct.
Now that Urban Shocker has made
up his mind to -moisten. banknotes
in his St. Louis radio shop in prefer
ence to wetting the old spheroid, the
ranks of this once great galaxy of
hurlers has dwindled to . mere half
dozen.
Only eight years ago the major
leagues decided by concurrent &C.
ton to ban freak deliveries and
agreed that II bona fide spitball
pitchers then performing in the big
|circuits would be the only ones
exempt.
Of that number, the National had
eight, namely, Bill Doak, Shufflin
Phil Douglas, Dana Fillingim, Ray
Fisher, Marvin Goodwin, Burleigh
Crimes, Clarence Mitchell and Dick
Rudolph. Today, only Doak of the
Robins, Mitchell of the Phillies, and
Grimes of the Pirates, survive.
Trio Alone Remains
With the passing of Shocker Of
the Yankees, three of the moist ball
Fingers are left in the American
League. When the rule was passed
in 1920, there were A. w. Ayers
Ray Caldwell, Stanley Coveleskie
Urban Faber, H. B. Leonard, Jack
Quinn, Allan Russell, Shocker and
Allan Sothoron.
Coveleskie, now battling for q
regular berth with the Yankees, Fa.
Der of the White Sox and Quinn Of
the Athletics remain on the Ameri-
can League active list. Sothoron
formerly with the Browns, is q
coach with the Cardinals.
The ancient Polish HEAVIER, Covel.
eskie, has turned in two good per-
formances during the soIthern train
ing grind and seems assured Of q
contract with the world champions.
Quinn Starts 25th
Jack Quinn, the Methusaleh OF
baseball, is entering his 25th year on
the diamond. Now As years old
Quinn began tossing his puzzline
splitter with the old Yankees. It is
an odd twist of fate that Quinn in
his early major league days had his
poorest luck against Connie Mack's
Athletics, Of whom he is at present
q member.
Mitchell, Doak, Grimes and Faber
seem to be ready for at least an.
other season but 1929 may bring
further reductions in the fast-thin.
ming line Of these moundsmen who
acquired their skill in the days when
chewing tobacco was an art in itself.

Mr.. Bruce arrived nearly month
ago and groups Of Baltimore friends

The race, which this year is at
tracing large crowds, had a novel
beginning. It was conceived by q
racing enthusiast and Republican,
Jack Lynn, 81 years tyo. He hit
upon the idea Of a long distance
struggle with the view of attracting
trade to his bar in the Waterloo
hotel at Aintree which had been in
the doldrum for years. The scheme
worked, the race being . crowd win
ner from the beginning. Lynn died

Twice in the last five years the
grand national has been won by an
American horse, but never has it
beeD won by q horse bred and owned
in America. Sergeant Murphy,

About 100 Americans are sleeping

Those soldier boys out at Fort
Lincoln are going to battle again.
Some Of them may have enlisted
to see the world but after watching
an amateur fight card out at the
post two weeks ago we have come
to the conclusion that they really
joined the army to fight.
Since Uncle Sam IL content to use
his marines in Nicaragua, China and
other nations where revolutions ar(
the favorite indoor sports, the up
and-ups at North Dakota's regular
army garrison have decided to re-.
lease the impounded fighting spiri,
in each doughboy in tho boxing
ring.
Fight on April 5
Anyway, 1t. H. C. Jones, athletic
officer Of Fort Lincoln, announced
Wednesday that another fight card
has been billed for April 5. That's
Thursday night.
Remember the date,
It had been many long months
since the small coterie 81 fight fans
who attended the first card two
weeks ago had seen such slam-bank-
ing as the inaugural show produced.
That was some card! The boys
weren't fighting for money. They
fought for the glory of their COM
pany because the cards that are
being staged are held on a tourna-
ment basis and eventually one Of
the companies is going to be hailed
as the boxing champion of the bat
tallion.
Gave Everything
In that carnival Of swirling gloves
there were no pulled punches. There
were no carries or dives. Each boy
who answered the first tap Of thu
bell was bent on winning his fight
He gave his all. :
Every one Of those boys had Il

some one has placed q piece Of cas-
iron in each one Of your shoes.
That is the way that those dough
boy battlers felt when the final gonl
had sounded.
Maulers Swamp Jones
There can be every expectation
that the second card next Thursda,
night will be as good % the frs,
1t will be even better, says 1t. Jones
for he has been swamped with appli
cations for places on the card.
Forty-five rounds Of milling ar
planned. Fifteen bouts of three
rounds each. And each round zoe
three minutes.
That is some caulif.ower men
and it's an even bet that there won

want to see the show.
