Red Ruffing Is Named
In Divorce Suit Against
Iron Ore Heiress
By the Associated Press

DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. IA
The blond heiress to a Minnesota
iron ore fortune today was the
defendant in divorce action
naming Red Ruffing. former New
York Yankees pitcher.
She is Mrs. Robert Park, 80,
the former Jane Alworth, whose
grandfather. Marshall H. Alworth
Of Duluth, left an estate Of more
than $6,000,000 at his death in
1912.
Mr.. Park, former New York
orchestra leader, asks substantial
alimony, custody of William, 16-
month-old adopted son, and all
joint personal property, including
the home overlooking Lake Su-
perior.
In his complaint, Mr.. Park
charges his wife with improper
conduct and excessive drinking.
His wife met Ruffing last year
while the ballplayer was scouting
the Superior (WisD club of the
Northern League for the Chicago
White Sox, Mr.. Park alleged.
The musician said he found
Ruffng and Mrs. Park together in
the Park home after their return
from party on an Alworth yacht.
The action, filed August IL and
disclosed last night, charges Mrs.
Park is unfit to retain custody Of
the child.
District Judge Victor H. john
son ruled August 81 that William
could remain with his mother
until trial of the action. No date
has been set. Mrs. Park voluntar-
lily left the home and is now liv-
ing here with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Royal D. Alworth.
Mr.. Park said alimony was
asked because "of losses caused me
by my wife's attitude and con-
duct" The complaint sets Mrs.
Parks annual income at $4,000,
but Mr.. Park declares in the suit
1T could easily be increased to
500, ,000."
Mrs. Parks was previously mar
ried in 1888 to Dr.. James Spang
of Duluth, who divorced her in
1910.
