Stonky to Play While Managing
Cards, but Must Win Berth

Eddie figures to go over his
coaching staff in the next few
days and maybe ask for few re-
placements. A request for addi-
tons seems doubtful, since Saigh
recently reduced the staff to
three. He cut loose veteran Ray
Blades, explaining four-man
staff is too cumbersome.
Any other decisions, especially
those concerning the playing per-
sonnel, will have to wait until
spring training, Eddie says.
What 1 see at spring training
will determine what will happen
to the lineup" he commented.

Eddie includes himself in that
spring training test. He says he'll
be competing against "the best

Red Schoendienst. But Stanky
isn't sure second base is the only
place ne may ma an opening to
squeeze into.

short and second will depend on

and myself can show next spring"
Hemus, who Stanky calls the
most improved inflelder or out
fielder of the 1851 season. has
been rejected and recalled on oc-
casion by the Cardinals from their
farm system.
Like most Of the Cardinals fol-
lowers, Eddie maintains that it
was Hemus who played a major
part in keeping the Cardinals in
third place last season.

the Yankees acquired him in 1896

Redskins Fill
Bag of Tricks
For SteeIers
By Lewis r. Atchison

Sammy Baugh'S tricky play
calling against the Cardinals was
the tipoff on what the Pittsburgh
Steelers may expect when they in
wade Griffith stadium Sunday to
help the Redskins ring down the
curtain on the 1851 pro-football
season.
The Steelers are due for q sur
prise if they are planning to con-
centrate their defense on Rob
Goode, the Redskins league-lead-
ing ground-gainer. Goode Is COM
peting with Eddie Price of the
New York Giants for the 1851
crown and Coach Dick Todd would
like to see him win it. But the
Redskins No. / objective Sunday
is their sixth victory and a 500
average for the year.
Todd would like to leave the
Washington fans happy and he's
counting on a full squad to do it,
not merely Goode.
Baugh Varies Offense.
Todd's strategy was plain
enough last week when Sammy
Baugh called on both Harry Gil
mer and Bill Dudley to pass from
fake running plays. Gilmer, par
ticularly. could be extremely
dangerous on this maneuver. II
the Steelers close in on him he
can throw. but if they drift back
too far expecting a pass he'll take
off with the ball. The same ap-
plies to Dudley. although Dudley
makes no pretense of being a
passer.
Another man the Steelers will
do well to watch is Leon Heath.

seem ready to catch fire.
Goode undoubtedly would like

don't plan to run him into the

The NEW ANNULMENT RACKET
Continued from page hVsnty-eigM

that she could become United States citi-
zen by virtue of the marriage. Six years
later. she told the court. she discovered
that he was not an American citizen and on
this ground the annulment was granted.
One husband came into court with this
story: "Your Honor, believe in the exist
ence of spirits in the other world. My wife
knew about this before we got married. In
fact, took her to some seances with me.
One day she told me that she had had
message from some spirits and that they
had ordered us to get married right away.
We've been married for six years but only
discovered the other day that she never got
that message and she made the whole thing
up" Annulment granted.
Annulments have also been granted to
men who claimed that their wives defaulted
on promises to set them up in business or to
give them money to 60 to college.
The legal difference between annul-
ment and divorce is that an annulment
declares that the marriage never in fact
existed and it is erased from the books.
A divorce proclaims that legal marriage
has been terminated. This may seem like
hair splitting but there are important prac-
tical differences In divorce proceeding
the court is custodian of the marriage and it
can award alimony. lawyers fees, suit money.
make property settlements and perform
similar functions
No Aimony
HE courts say, however, that they cannot
give alimony to woman who is claiming
that her marriage never legally existed. The
annulment evil pressmes women into accept
ing non-alimony status.
There are many reasons why annulment
has become so popular. For one thing, in
certain states, there is no law requiring
that either the husband or wife be resident
of the state, as is required in divorce actions.
Moreover, annulments are generally cheaper,
and many people feel that divorce has more
of stigma than annulment.
In addition to these reasons, MIR. Wells
points out that the United States Supreme
Court has placed cloud on the formerly
bona fide Reno-type divorces. A person who
obtains decree from one of the divorce
centers can never be sure it will be honored
in another state. For this reason. many
lawyers who used to send clients out
of-state now advise annulments.
As for the lawyers role in the annulment
situation. distinguished member of the
New York Bar, Joseph r. Clevenger. has.
this to say in his book, "Annulment of Mar
riage": "Of all the 44O law titles, the most
advantageous to New York lawyer is
annulment of marriage; in fact, a New York
action to annul marriage excels every
other marital remedy in every other state
of all the United States, not only in the
greatest number and variety of grounds for
terminating the marriage. but also in the
surprising ease and superior mode of prov
ing such grounds"
However, the easy annulment boom is

themselves conceived in fraud being de-
signed to circumvent the requirements OF
actions for divorce"
But it looks as if the lawyers are fighting
a losing battle Annulments continue to
increase. A Broadway lawyer who handles
a heavy annulment traffic explains it this
way: Look, prohibition never stopped peo-
pie from drinking Man and wife want to
get rid of each other, they'll find way If
the divorce laws are strict - people make
the lawyers find some other legal way"
Elsewhere, Too
ALTHOUGH the New York and California
lawyers are feeling the worst of this squeeze,
the National Office of Vital Statistics points
out that annulments are also given rather
freely in Washington, D. c.. New Jersey,
Montana, Nebraska and Utah. What's
more, in the District of Columbia, Maine,
New Hampshire, Oregon and Vermont,
annulments are on the rise while the divorce
rate is falling.
As matter of fact, there are probably
other states where annulments flourish, but
since many states do not divulge their annul-
ment figures it is impossible to identify
them. However, statistics indicate that the
annulment evil is beginning to spread be-
yond the borders of those states which have
encouraged it. And in states where annul-
ments are still strictly interpreted, there are
lawyers who simply send their clients to easy
states like New York where they have work.
ing agreements with local law firms.
1t should be emphasized that these annul-
ments are civil annulments and have no
relation to religious annulments, which are
granted by various churches. Religious
annulments are strict and granted only for
genuine cause. As matter of fact. churches
warn their members that civil annulments
will not be recognized unless obtained after
