REDS PREDICT J BETTER DAYS e — New York, June 6.— U.R Manager Dan Howley's Cincinnati Reds, a ; boasting one of the best pitching v staffs in the major leagues but r ' woefully weak at the plate, have e taken a new lease on life, r Keyed by thre cor.seeutive„vica tories over the Philadelphia Phily lies, one of the hardest hitting i e clubs in the majors, the Reds were; i- at home today for a four-game ser-1 ies with the Boston Braves hoping I to prolong their winning streak and | ; continue their climb from the Nati ional league cellar. I Until the spurt against the PhilI .lies. Cincinnati had won only nine ,' of 41 contests. The pitching had libeen good enough to carry the club to a first division berth but power at the plate was lacking. Now with Hendrick, Roush. Roettger. Stripp, and Cuccinello hitting timely and often, the Reds see better days ahead. They have no | fears as far as pitching is concernled for Lucas. Johnson. Kolp, Rixey Land others have demonstrated that they can shoulder their end of the; I burden. ’ The Reds couuded out 13 hits off I ! ' four Philadelphia hurlers yesterday to win. 9 to 2. while Johnson 1 scattered the seven blows he al-1 lowed. Roettger led Cincinnati's I attack with four hits in five times ] at bat. St. Louis increased its leadership over New York by trimming the ! second place Giants, 8 to 7 in 10 . innings. Collins' single, scoring Watkins, drove in the winning taii ly for the Cardinals. i Lefty O'Doul’s timely hitting en- . aided the Brooklyn Robins to defeat the Cubs. 3 to 1 and even the four game series. Chicago got only six hits off Phelps and Quinn while ' the Robins bunched their nine hits . off Root for one run in the first and | two in the third. Boston shut out Pittsburgh. 4 to J 0, in the other National league contest. Lefty Grove suffered his second: . defeat of the season when the ChiI cago White Sox nosed cut Phila- . delphia, 7 to 5 in 12 innings. Grove I had relieved McDonald in* the 7th. Fonseca's home run started the Sox cn the winning rally. The Athletics lost no ground in t the pennant race, however, for the . second place Washington Senators > also lost. Detroit shut them out, | i 1 to 0 in 11 innings to end the los-i , ing streak that had extended to i : eight games. George Uhle al'owed i only five scattered hits. Sam Jcnes I yielded the same number but paved the way for his defeat by hitting Walker, first man up in the 12th. Walker scored the winning tally on - Johnson's single. i; Boston broke Cleveland's ten- . game winning streak by setting . back the Indians. 4 to 3. : Babe Ruth's tenth home run of t ; the season with a mate cn base enabled the Ne-.v York Yankees to deI feat St. Louis, 8 to 7.

It specifically records that Still-1' man admitted being the father of I ' four children by Mrs. Stillman—' Mrs. Henrv P. Davison, 28; James! 1 (Bud) Stillman. 26; Alexander, 19,; 1 and Guy, 12. The testimony was not I ‘ filed with the decree, the divorcei and remarriage being conducted with utmost secrecy. Mack said thej ! court had given Mrs. Stillman cus-i tody of Guy. The present secret proceedings. were vastly different than other li-' , tigation involving the Stillmans. When the case broke in 1920. news- . nape: s throughout the world carried i front page storfrs and the public pounced on each new sensation. Hearings for Stillman's divorce action were heard in Poughkeepsie, New York and Montreal, where wit-! nesses were brought in from the surrounding country to testify in be-| half of Mrs. Stillman's conduct at the summer home at Grand Anse. During the five years the case was in progress. Stillman paid his j wife $90,090 alimony annually and xpended hundreds of thousands of dollars to prove his case. In the background loomed Guy’s $1,500, share of the $6,000,000 trust fund 'established by Stillman's father for his grandchildren. But Stillman lost the case and, the court found Guy to be ills legal son. In a counter action, Mrs. Still- ; man charged her husband with bem>. the father x>f the child of Ido Leeds, former showgirl. Tills action was dropped as suddenly as it was i started and Mr. and Mrs. Stillman sailed on February 6, 1926. aboard the Olympic -strangely linked with the Stillman destiny—for a "trial wedding.” At that time Mrs. McCormick! jested about her friendship for McCormick and said that it would] “be ridiculous for a woman of 50 J (a-d I'm not imperishable you ( know) to be the wife of a man of. ; 30.” The Stillmans returned the ■ following May and said all thoughts ' of divorce had been discarded and I they intended to keep out of the ' > limelight. > This didn't last long, however, I for Beauvias entered a >500,000 suit I against Stillman, alleging he had; i been slandered in being named co-: ' respondent. Mrs. Stillman came in . > for her share of publicity when she ] - burled plates at Photographers' , "who were annoying me" at the - wedding o f her son "Bud" to Lena \Vilson, a Scotch Canadian at Grand s Anse. - For a number of years, to all outr ward appearances, the Stillmans - were living in a state of connubial s blies. During the years following

Mrs. Stillman saw McCormick often but always laughted when it was, suggested that she might marry ] him some,day. McCormick is a graduate of the i Parker school of Chicago, Groton; School and Princeton. In 1916 he] left Groton to enlist in the aviation ; service but peace was declared be-, fore he got across. He then started I as a day laborer in the McCormick Harvester company founded by the first Cyrus H. McCormick three I generations back, and later merged ! with the International Harvester Co. He soon rose to the "White Collar " department and into an executive position, McCormick inherits from his mother Mrs. Edith Rockefeller McCormick, an interest in the Juns school of thought, and; this is a common bond between him ; and wife. He is a great favorite of his grandfather John D. Rockefeller , Sr., who likes the way in which I he chose to learn the business from the bottom up.
