Puyallup, Wash.—A romance staged
at its beginning on the campus of the
Washington Agricultural college at
Pullman, its interruption when she
was spirited away to the mountains of
Tennessee, a clandestine correspond

to be wedded, and how her heart was
broken by a life on a lonely Montana

Her Love Was to Be Put to the Se
verest Test.
Judge J. D. Fletcher by Mrs. Mary D.
Parkhurst before whom she Is appear
ing for a divorce from the husband of
her romantic youth.
With her heart filled with romance
and the promise of happiness, Mary
Williams, a daughter of Dr. John A.
Williams, a Puyallup physician, was
married to Marvin Parkhurst in 1917,
and after a short honeymoon to rela
tives and friends the couple repaired
to the husband’s homestead in Mon
tana. where, as she told the judge, her
romance was shattered.
In a log cabin 12 feet long and 10
feet wide, with a dirt floor and a bed
made with drygoods boxes supporting
a pair of springs, a table improvised
^ by nailing a board to the inner walls
of the hut, and no chairs, the bride
soon realized that her love was to be
put to the severest test.
Rut when it was known that the
stork would soon pay them a visit
and no. medical assistance arranged
for because her husband was a Chris
tian Scientist, life became an unbear
able burden. All the heat and glow
of a rosy life of love and devotion she
had pictured to herself was broken and
she fled with babe in arms to her near
est neighbor, 22 miles away.
Parkhurst is contesting the divorce
on the ground that his wife knew of
the conditions when she married him.

SIX WEEKS’TRAINING
IS TOO MUCH-COBB
i _
Tiger Star Says Player Should
Remember Length of Season.
Looks Like Folly to Georgia Peach for
Player to Drain His Endurance
in South—Has His Own
Idea of Training.
Ty Cobb answers the critics of his
training camp methods by the asser
tion that the routine of one month or
six weeks is entirely too long for the
ball player.
For many seasons Cobb has refused
to report to the Tigers when they en
trained for Dixieland. Rarely has he
jumped into uniform earlier than a
week or ten days before the opening
of the regular season. Cobb’s enemies
repeatedly declared that failure to
train would handicap Cobb consider
ably. But it has never been so. Sev
eral times the “Southern Typhoon”
has started slowly, but along about
mid June he has found his stride and
breezed along to the sublime heights
of the offensive baseball world.
“Four to six weeks training in the
South, with two sessions daily, hurt
rather than help a player,” Cobb ex
plains. “After two weeks in the
South the player is trained rather
fine. After that strenuous training
begins to sap his endurance. When
the season opens he looks good and
Ty Cobb.
plays well. But before mid August
you will notice that he is growing
stale; that he isn’t playing with all
the old dash and speed.
“It would be all right for a player
to train four to six weeks if he was
going to play only for about two
months. But when he is conditioning
himself for six months’ play it seems
like folly to me to force him to drain
his endurance powers in the South
and bring him North with not enough
left to carry him through six months
of play.
“Early in my career I spent four to
six weeks in training camps. Usually
I reported for the opening of the sea
son in line condition. But after about
two months I would begin to get a lit
tle stale. My work would lack zip. I
decided finally that it was because I
was overtrained. So one season I did
not report to the camp for the full
training season, but merely put in
about ten days’ work. As a result I
was able to put into the regular play
ing season all the endurance that was
necessary and I carried it along right
through to the end of the season. In
stead of finishing the baseball year
fagged and worn out and trained off,
I was just as good physically as when
the season began. And ever since then
I’ve followed that system of training
just enough to get the kinks out of
my arms and legs without the sacri
fice of stamina.”
MANAGER MORAN KEPT KOPF
Youngster Promises to Be One of
Shining Stars in National League
This Season.
Leave it to Pat Moran to save him
self an ace for the day of the big
emergency. He managed to retain
Larry Kopf, who originally %vas slated
to go to the Dodgers, but refused, and
the youngster who broke into the main
show a few years ago as substitute in
fielder for the Athletics promises to be
fine of the outstanding stars of the
National league this season. Kopf al
ready has made good, but his admirers
say he is going to ascend to even
loftier heights. Both in fielding and
oatting Kopf has been one of the stars
of the Reds, and Moran doesn’t hesi
tate to express his admiration for the
youngster. Moran, it is evident now,
accomplished a ten strike for the Reds
and himself when he kept Kopf for
Cincinnati.
CAREER AS BANDIT
LASTS TWO WEEKS

Girl Forms Partnership With
Stranger and Holds Up Ele
vated Stations.
Craving a more exciting career than
that of looking after her home, her
husband and her small babies, Mrs.
Catherine Van Beesley, nineteen years
old, of Chicago, became “Katie the
holdup queen.” Her career lasted for
two whole weeks; then she was ar
rested.
Mrs. Beesloy’s first step as a woman
bandit was to go to a saloon nub /.-rw

The Girl Would Run Around Behind,
a drink. John Burgess, with numer
ous aliases, walked in on the girl. They
struck up a partnership in cheap crime,
making a specialty of elevated station
holdups, then trading the cash for liq
uor and pleasure in back-room
cabarets.
Burgess would push a revolver at
the ticket window, and the girl would
run around behind and scoop up the
cash. Meanwhile the babies cried at
home and the young husband, rushed
frantically about searching for his lost
wife.
The pair were arrested after numer
ous robberies had been reported to the
police. The girl confessed.
“It was so easy,” she said. “We
went out the first night and held up
a man for 85 cents. This would not
even buy a drink for two, but we got
pleasure out of it.”
