Making Big Effort

Said Pokorny:
I'VE are making n big effort
now TO have husband and wife
agree to the sum of alimOny
ahead of time rather than have
the sum passed out arbitrarily.
When both agree usually things
work out better. The man feels
his rights have been considered,
and the women are cont ten {
W hen the checks come regu-
IarIy."
Although for 20 years he ha'
handled divorces. the friend Of the
court is a great believer in happ!
marriages:
I'VE see only the unsuccessful
ones. not the thousands which
succeed"
From Old Troubles
The thrush of divorces this year

month he says, are the result
of old troubles:
"NanY men and women have
been separated for several years
are now coming in TO get a di-
NOrce because they now have
funds 10 defray the expenses.
Many women have found employ
ment and two separate dOmiciles
become possible which couldn't
he under one salary"
Big trouble, Pokornys staff
agrees. is when there are children
involved.
The officer is moro proud Of the
record in reconciliations than in
large ahmony payments. They've
managed Ids this year so far. Last
years total was 100.
And remember that alimony is
largely for the Children of the di-
vorced parents, not for divorced
wives, Pokorny warns, a mistake
which many people make.

NEW YORK, July 26. This
story honestly doesn't belong on
the sports pages and shouldn't be
written by any sports writing
genius-it should be composed by
a trio of say, Sax Rohmer, Erie
Gardner and Mary Rob-
erts Rineheart You see. it's a
mystery story 49, the mystery of
how a star baseball player sud-
denly lost his ambition 10 play,
quit his team and now sits silently
at home while the team runs ram
pant through the National League
towards its first pennant in 20
years. It's the tale of Babe
CBlimp) Phelps. mystery man of
the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Phelps story is one of the
queerest in baseball history. He
quit the team on June II. refused
TO accept suspension and went
home 10 Odenton. Md He hasn't
been heard from since despite two
letters from President Larry Nc
Phail lifting the suspension and
offering 10 take him back when
ever he feels ready 10 resume play.
One was mailed June Is. the other
a month ago.

who's up in place of Eddie Arcaro
Whirly's victory rider in the Kentucky
Derby, the Preakness and the Belmont

keep to the rail after that last turn, Shell
hamer will be blamed. Or If he doesn't
run according to form all the way, then
loses, the new jock will be on the spot
when the race is over. We're thankful for
our avoirdupois and journalistic tenden-
cies-for we'd sure hate TO be ridin

Organizations such as the Brew cry Workers were little trouble to the movement in the matter of asking help in strikes, as they usually were we'll able to success fully handle their own troubles, and l always found them very generous in contributing money and support to other unions that were in trou- ble. In Denver, when I was secre- tary of the State Federation of La Dor, we had four charters: the Brewers, Bottlers, Drivers and COOpers, all operating together with one general office, secretary and business agent, with my old friend, Frank KOralik, holding this office. He went to the first World War and I have been told that he was killed in action. The cities of Pueblo and Trinidad also had un- ions. Another old friend, Bill Koch, succeeded Koralik.
