 To prevent "gin marriages" and close "Gretna Greens" all states in the Union except 19 now have various statutory waiting periods before licenses can be issued or marriages performed.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-There was a
World Series opening here today but
two observers, Owner Clark Grifith of
the Washington Senators and Out
fielder AL Simmons, were only vaguely
aware of it.
They still were mumbling threats
and shouting of vendetta and revenge
today in the wake of series of puzz-
ling developments which at one point
reached the personal remark stage in
the office of baseball's high commits
sioner, Judge Kenesaw M. Lands.
At an early hour this morning Sim
mons, to avoid more fine for his out
burst against three Washington fans
in last Sundays double-header, issued
an apology which read:
"No matter how I fare with Com
missioner Lands and even though
was fined 5000 by Mr. Griffith, wish
to have it understood that I have no
grievances against Washington fans.

last Sunday at Griffith Stadium and

in the past My two years of baseball
in Washington and my associations in
Washington were among the most
pleasant in my career and always
want to regard them as SUCH"
And Then He Yells.
Offhand, this sounds as If Simmons
were really to return to the fold. but
hardly had he issued the statement to
the press when he yelled:
Il still want my release from Wash
ington"
The whole thing started when SIM
mons, answering some fans whom he
accused of riding him" during the
closing day of the season in Griffith
Stadium, invited them under the
stands and shook his fist He also
used some obscene language which al
legedly was heard throughout the ball
park.
Owner Griffith, incensed by Sim
mons action, promptly plastered a
5000 fine on Simmons and reported
the incident to American League
President Will Harridge and Lands.
In turn, Simmons accused Grifith of
trying to save some money at his
(Simmons) expense.
II won a $500 bonus for batting
.300," said AL, land this is the way he
gets even. He socks me 5000 and
thereby has to pay me only $780,"
Griffith replied by saying that Sim
mons pulled out Of the second game
of the double header in order to pro-
tect his 800 average. "He cheated
me-" said Grifith. Il pay my ball
players to play a whole season-not to
quit as soon as they reach the SOC
mark.
Sees West Is Victim.
Simmons had the nerve to ask
Sammy West to play the second game
which, incidentally, was the last o1
the season-and in doing so he selfish.
" made Sammy fall below the 800
mark when West Is winding up hi
career" '..
Manager Bucky Harris then wa.

allowed Simmons to sit out the sec.

up q peeve against Simmons because
AL said "Griff Is sore because Harris
benched me-" Harris answered: -

Any way Simmons appeared hert

was presenting his case Grif1th walked

- CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-A couple of
hours after this is written, the Cubs
and Yankees will have taken the
field for the opening game Of the
1888 world series and the latest
bulletin I can furnish runs pretty
much the same as my original pre-
diction, which was New York in six
games.
I saw both teams in their final
workouts and can honestly say that
I am impressed with the Cubs in
field. But that about lets them out,
although I am not as familiar with
their pitching as I would like to be.
They will need pretty good pitching
to make up for the Yanks' terriffic
edge in power.
Naturally I was as surprised as
the next fellow when Red Ruffing
was named to open the series for
the Yanks. Frankly, I would have
picked Gomez but, after all, I'm
not running the Yanks. Inciden-
tally, saw headline in the local
papers that read: Mccarthy sorry
for Cubs" If Joe's going to be sorry
for anybody why isn't he sorry for
Mack, Dykes, Baker, Street, Witt,
Cronin and myself? After all,
Hartnett and his gang at least are
going to get cut of the series and
we're left out in the cold.
Watching the two clubs today
was like looking over couple of
race horses. One has class oozing
all over him. That would be the
Yanks. The other didn't have the
same class. And that, of course,
would be the Cubs. Still, it's al
ways a question Of whether the
Glass horse" will run his race.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5-Witn one Of the
worst pitching staffs in the major
leagues, Owner Clark Grifhth of the
Nationals today had gained title to a
shortstop, of all things, in the minor
league draft.
He Is Charley Colbert. one-time star
of the pennant-winnng st. Louis Car
dinals, who was obtained by Wash
ington last night from Toledo of the
American Association.
Griffith was cunning for Colbert
when he attended the annual meeting
He declined to specify the capacity to
be filled by Colbert, who is pushing
the 31-year-old mark. With Toledo
Colbert batted only 284
Colbert achieved prominence in 1928
and starred for the Cards in the two
World Series against the Athletics in
1880 and 1881. Following his great
series in 1881 he went on a hunting
trip, caught his gun in q bush and
nearly shot OF q leg.
Physicians said that Colbert never
would play baseball again but with
characteristic courage Charley staged
comeback and, beginning again in
the minors, rose to the majors for q
second time. He since has seen serv-
ice with the Reds and Tigers, but
never has been q star since the acci-
dent.
Griffith had hoped to land a pitcher
in the draft but the most likely pros
poets were grabbed by other clubs

mer Giant, from Minneapolis and

Parmelee won II and lost l3 in the

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-No one ball club
ever had such solid sentimental
backing from its home town as the
Cubs today carry into the World Series
against the Yankees. This also goes
for about IS per cent of the entire
Nation. No one can blame city or
country for this feeling.
On August 20 the Cubs were eight

Chicago.
Yanks Best Over Stretch.
The Yankees are the best team In
baseball today-over 154-game
stretch. There isn't any argument
about that.
But there is vast difference be-
tween seven game and 154 games. To
be exact, the difference is just about
lat games. Bobby Jones always dis
liked an 18-hole match. For him &c.
hole match was a romp. The better
team always likes the added distance.
Added distance wipes out most Of the
luck, most of the sudden and tougher
breaks.
1t is betraying no secret message to
say that in any long stretch the Cubs,
in spite of the lion-hearted Gabby and
all the rest of them, would have no
chance against the Yankees.
But funny things can happen In a
world series.

The Cubs Of 1888 rate much higher

They haven't the winning punch the
Yankees carry, due partly o swinging
at all good balls, no matter what the
situation. But in Lee and Bryant they
have two pitchers who can travel in
the same company with Ruflng and

They also have a team that now is
