Baseball Title

CHICAGO, May 80. - Michigan
entered its final Big Ten baseball
game of the season against Ohio
State today without chance to win
the pennant outright.
The Wolverines, 1941 champs,
were dropped, 80, by the Buckeyes
yesterday for their second defeat
of the season. A victory by Michi-
gan today would put the school in
a tie with Iowa for the Champion
ship with the possibility that Wis
consin might come along to share
the title three ways.
The Badgers. also defeated only
twice thus far, had a douhie-header
at Minnesota. Their game yester-
day was postponed.
The Wolverines came from behind
twice to deadlock Ohio State, the
second time in the ninth, but lost
when Carl Patterson doubled and
raced home with the winning run
on Warren Scholler's single.

Marriage Clubs
Defraud Public
Through Mails

TLOURISHING in this coun-
l. try today are more than four
hundred matrimonial correspon-
denceclubs. Ostensibly, the purpose
of these clubs is to bring happiness
and husbands to American women.
Actually their purpose is to turn
human loneliness into crisp dollar
bills - for themselves.
These correspondence" and
Friendship" clubs, Gretta Palmer
relates in the October issue of Good
Housekeeping magazine, prosper be-
cause they are accutely aware of the
pathetic fact that there are millions
of lonely men and women willing to
pay money for names of other lonely
souls with whom they can CORES
pond. In this way they hope eventu-
ally to find desirable husband or
wife, but the matrimonial agents
have no real solution to offer, and on
their own admission they rarely
bring off match.
Spread from coast to coast, the
marriage clubs operate under no re-
strictions, and Miss Palmer writes,
postal authorities estimate that four
million Of their letters are ex-
changed each year. Advertisements
placed in cheap periodicals, are cum
ningly phrased to appeal to the Gin
derella in every woman, but never
mention the fee for joining which
may range from 81 to $40. Gullible
readers are always given the same
routine. They will receive through
the mail a large envelope containing
innumerable descriptions of attrac-
tive manageable men and women,
but they will not receive any names
or addresses until the membership
fee is paid.
Cases have been brought to light
where names of club members have
been used for extortion, and black
mail is not uncommon. Miss Palmer
suggests that if some legitimate,
carefully supervised agencies were
opened by social service experts, it
would prove a blessing to thousands
of men and women now correspond
ing with strangers, about whom they
know nothing.
