LEGAL TANGLE
DUE IN BABY
MARATHON
By FRANK CHAMBERLAIN
copyright. 1895. by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)

TORONTO, July 14.-Birth
certificates in hand, Mrs. Lily
Kenny, 33-year-old French-Cana-
dian mother, is preparing to par
ticipate in what promises to be
the most fantastic legal tangle
ever known in Canada. In
October of this year she will
claim the 100000 now held in
trust by three executors Of the
estate of the late Charles Vance
Millar, Toronto lawyer and Kings
Plate winner.
Mr.. Millar died on october 81,
1926, leaving the residue of his
estate to the Toronto mother
who in the 10 years following
his death gave birth to the larg-
est number of babies. Mrs. Kenny
now claims she has had IL in the
allotted period, and says she will
give birth to the thirteenth
baby before october 81, 1886
perhaps more.
Ridicule Her Claim
Rivals mothers in this strange
Stork Derby that is exciting in
terest all over the world ridicule
the claim of Mrs. Kenny and
say that she has only nine bah
les registered at the Vital Stats
tics Bureau of ontario.
That makes Mrs. Kenny very,
very annoyed. She stubbornly re-
fuses to participate in a plan pro-
posed by Mrs. Arthur Hollis Tim
leck, another contender, to split
the 100000 evenly between the
seven mothers in the marathon.
1.-THE government papers are in
the hands of my lawyer" Mrs.
Kenny maintains, and refuses to
discuss the letter which it is un-
derstood her lawyer sent to every
Toronto doctor, asking for infor-
nation concerning the wherea-
bouts of a doctor who is said to
have attended three of Mrs. Ken
ny's confinementS. For Lily Kenny
is a business-like person. If she
doesn't win, it won't be because
her case isn't properly presented.
She's WOOdcarver
Mrs. Kenny lives with her huS-
band, Matthew. and four of their
nine living children, in a rough
cast dwelling on Peter Street,
close to the car tracks. There are
seven rooms in the house, and
the front parlor is a showroom
for exhibits of Mrs. Kenny'S wood
carving skill. She fashions fig
ures of notable Canadians after
sketching their features with her
own hand.
She also builds model dwellings
of Toronto as they existed 100
years ago. Meantime, in the full
glare of the MONDAY sun, she lets
Mary Anne. her youngest living
baby, play in crib in front OF
her house. She muttered:

CROWLEY SEEKS
SIGNAL CALLERS
Andy Palau, Bristol Boy,
Looks Like Regular
FOrdham Starter

Double sessions continued apace

Jimmy Crowley utilized both morn

backs. The arrival Of Bill McDer-

Mcknight, second-string man for
the position last season; ind Hugh
Addonizio, o good prospect UP from
the freshman, complete the quarter
Of play-pickers available for Crow
ley.
Looks Good
Palau, Of course, stands to retain
his post as regular barring phenora-
email Improvement on the part OF
one OF the other candidates. Andy
is a good kicker. q fine passer, an
effective block-maker, cool under
punts, O sterling defender against
the pass, and conservatively effic-
lent field general. This school year
will round out four seasons Of both
bootball and baseball accomplish
ment for the young, blond catcher
quarterback whom fans have dub
bed the Bristol Beauty" Heralded
as the best collegiate receiver in the
east last spring, Palau should be
definitely In the run for whatever
nationwide honors are apportioned
to quarterbacks this year. He Is IN
wonderful condition and as eager
as q sophomore. His pep was the
feature of yesterdays afternoon
drill.
Mcknight, who showed flashes OF
promise as q sophomore, especially
in the Pittsburgh game, has show
ed no signs Of the knee injury
which hampered him last fall.
Crowley likes Mcknight for his abil-
ity to call plays and his courage UNI
der kicks. The Seattle Lao, however
is not so rugged as Palau. Bill NC
Dermott, who is the best Of all the
Maroon quarters at running an
eleven, may finally realize on his
ability this autumn, while Addonizio
lacks the needed experience.
