Yesterday by Couple at

DIAMOND HERO AGED IS
Bride. .to-Be Is Widow, 20 Years
Old, Has Daughter, and
No Occupation

New York. April 16.-(P)-George
Herman (Babe) Ruth was in the
Yankee lineup for the opening game
Of the season today with license to
marry Mrs. Claire Hodgson, former
actress and widow. The home run
king had made the date of the cere.
mony a matter Of speculation by fix
ing it vaguely for ''some day this
week.
The license was obtained yesterday
at the New York municipal building
after the usual closing hour. The
Babe appeared at the bureau accom-
panied by Mrs. Hodgson and another
woman whose identity was not re.
vealed.
Wouldn't Wed Immediately.
City Clerk Michael j. Cruise who
issued the license offered to marry
the famous ball player and Mrs.
Hodgson at once but Ruth declined.
reminding Cruise that the baseball
season "opens tomorrow"
In his application Ruth gave his
age as IS and said he was the son of
George Herman and Catherine Ruth
and was born in Baltimore. He could
not recall his mothers maiden name.
Mrs. Hodgson gave her age as %
and gave no occupation. She said
she was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
James Monroe Merritt and was born
in Jefferson, Ga. She said her first
husband, Frank Hodgson, was dead.
She has daughter, Julia.
Three months ago Ruth's first wife,
Helen Woodford Ruth, died in a fire
in the home Of DR.. Edward H. Kinder.
dentist OF Watertown, Mass. At
the time Ruth said he had not lived
with her for more than three years.
Child Is Mystery
Mystery concerning the parentage
Of child known as Dorothy Ruth.

will referred to her as my beloved
charge and ward, Dorothy Helen
Ruth, at one time known as Marie
Harrington"
A certificate Of baptism found
among the effects Of the late Mrs.
Ruth stated that Dorothy was born
Feb. II, 1921, to George Herman and
Helen Ruth.
Ruth's friendship for Mrs. Hodgson
has been a matter of comment in
baseball circles for several years.
When his first wife's death was re-
ceiving attention his friends denied
the statement Of Norah Woodford,
l9-year-old sister of his wife, that he
had asked for divorce so he could
marry an actress.
