Broken Marriages
"Please tell !me what to do.
I love him so much!" Tearfully,
the young woman told the vicar
what was worrying her. "After
five years of happiness, I have
just discoverer) my husband is
being unfaithful 'to me."
'rhe other woman, she ex-
plained, was his pretty blonde
secretary, "But I'm quite sm'e
he doesn't really love her," she
added. "He's only infatuated
with her."
The vicar was a man of ac-
tion and he got busy. Twenty-
four hours later he had brought
the couple together again.
Then he told them: "I have
thought of a way whereby you
can start married life all over
again with all your vows un-
broken. I'm going to re -marry
you. Do you agree?" They did.
At a quiet Little ceremony in
a village church the young
wife, trembling anew with
happiness and carrying a wed-
ding bouquet, promised "to take
afresh this man, , ..' And the
husband slipped a new ring on
her finger.
And the blonde secretary?
She is still mystified at her
young boss's changed attitude
to her, although she has left
the job and is now working for
someone else.
When that Swedish vicar
realized bow immenseley suc-
cessful his re -marriage idea
was, he decided to persuade
ether unhappy couples to fol-
low the first pair's example.
To -day these kiss -and -make-
up ceremonies are famous
throughout Sweden. Scores of
couples whose marriages were
drifting on to the rocks have
re -married and are now bliss-
fully happy.
Says the vicar, the Rev. Erik
Arbin: "Four years have
elapsed since that first re -mar-
eiage ceremony and I think I
have proved that it is possible
to mend marriages which look
lake breaking up. In only one
instance has the re -marriage
Idea failed to bring a couple
happily together again."
He believes his plan could be
adopted successfully- in other
European countries and also in
the United States which has a
high divorce rate.
It was in the United States
gome time ago that a good-
o a kin g but tempermental
couple in their middle twenties
decided of their own accord to
"re -wed in order to stay mar -
sled," as they put it.
They went to amazing
lengths, in planning their sec -
end weddings, to wipe out me-
mories of the first. The husband
bought the wife a neW $780 en-
gagement ring as well as a new
wedding ring. And the wife,
who was originally married in
white, chose for her second
wedding dress a dazzling pink
and gold model. ")'ink and gold
are more lasting colours than
white," she said.
Although the husband's orig-
inal wedding suit was still as
new, he bought himself a fresh
ane. This time, too, the brides-
maids were the wife's two
plainest friends. "I intended,"
rhe confided, "to be by far the
prettiest woman present at my
re -marriage."
She was, too!

VINTAGE VICTORY — Donald G. Harter pilots the 1903 Model
A Ford which won him the grand championship in the 1899.
1916 class of the sixth annual Old Car Festival held at Green-
field Village, Mich. A record 250 antique autos were entered
in the event.
One-. Shot Heroes Of World) Series
The handsome, strapping man
walked almost jauntily to the
mound. His gait was loose and
easy, and he casually scanned
the packed and roaring stands
at Boston's hostile Fenway Park
as if counting the house.
Big Gene Bearden figured to
be tense and tired; but he acted
with the nonchalance of a man
'being dandled in the lap of des-
tiny.
One week earlier he had pitch-
ed the Cleveland Indians to vic-
tory in the American League's
only pennant playoff. Three
clays earlier he had won the
third game of the World Series
'with a sparkling 2 0 shutout tri-
umph over the Boston Braves.
But now, hi the sixth game,
Bob Lemon had faltered as the.
Indians stood only one and two-
thirds innings away from being
the champions of the world; and
with their lead down to one run,
with only one out in the eighth,
they had called Bearden from
the bullpen.
There was an easy smile on
Big Gene's lips as he faced the
batter that sunny afternoon of
October II, 1948, with a stance
which seemed to say:
"Okay, fellows, 1'l1 take it
from )sere!"
And take it he did, setting
the desperate Braves down
quickly to end the eighth, then
pitching faultlessly through the
ninth to give the Indians the
world championship.
Gene Bearden, who won the
American League•'s only penn-
ant playoff, captured one series
game and saved the finale of an-
other all in one week to cap a
20 -game season, was the stickout.
hero of the, 1948 classic.
But Bearden was a one-shot
hero, like so many others in the
history of baseball's annual blue
ribbon event!
Never since then has he had
a winning season. Five years
later he was peddled hack to the
minor leagues. Last spring he
tried to make the big time once
attain and wound up back
in the Pacific Coast League as
just another shopworn hero with
ore flaming memory..
He has a lot et eompany — fel-
lows like little Al Gionfriddo of
the Brooklyn Dodgers, Johnny
Ileazlcy of the St, Louis Cardin-
ale, Wilcey Moore of the New
York Yankees, George White -
men of the Boston iced Sox,
George Rohe of the "Hitless
Wonder" Chicago White Sox and
ymng Floyd Giebell, who was a
World Series hero while sitting
on the bench.
For each of them the aftermath
wns the lonesome road.
Beardon, for one, at least
knows the. reason.
"'FTaven't had a drink in a
year and a half," he explained
last spring as he tried to make
it back to the big time. "Every-
one kept saying that alcohol
was the thing that was holding
me down, so .I just quit."
But the old magic was gone,
and when the Milwaukee Braves
let him go, it was back to Sacra-
mento in the Pacific Coast
League. By mid-season, even in
that company, he was still a
loser with four wins against five
losses.
Gionfriddo never made it as
big as Bearden, but in the 1947
World Series the little man
pulled a play about which they
still speak. Within a period of
eleven months, he was respon-
sible for one of the funniest gags,
one of the most historic catches
and one of the most poignant
fadeouts in big league baseball.
Gionfriddo went to the Brook-
lyn Dodgers in May, 1947.
Brooklyn sold pitchers Kirby
Higbe and Cal McLish, catcher
Homer Howell and shortstop
Gene Mauch to the Pittsburg Pi-
rates for $300,000 — and the five
foot, six inch Gionfriddo.
"This must have been the mes-
senger boy thrown into the deal
so he could carry the money
from Pittsburgh to Brooklyn,"
one Dodger writer kidded.
But on October 5, 1947, "Little
Gi" was sent out to play left
field in the sixth inning of the
sixth game of the World Series
against the Yankees. There
were two out and two on when
the mighty Joe DiMaggio rifled
an apparent home run to left
field.
Gionfriddo started sprinting
back with the crack of the bat.
Suddenly, right at the bullpen
gate, he whirled and leaped into
the air. The ball landed in his
glove, and Gionfriddo, almost
falling over the fence, held it
for a dazzling one -hand stab
which brought a tremendous
roar of applause from the gog-
gle-eyed stands. It was the field-
ing gem 09 the Series.
But the following April, "Lit-
tle Gi" was released to Mont-
real. Despite his World Series
heroics, he had batted a puny 175
In 38 games for Brooklyn the
previous season. Nor could he
stick in Montreal. From there it
was St. Paul, Fort Worth, Drum-
mondville, Newport News, Ven-
tura, California, and finally re-
leased by lowly Vasalia, Cali-
fornia, in 1955.
Beazley, the handsome right
hander of the Cardinals, was an-
other who rocketed to World
Series fame, and faded just as
quickly into oblivion.
At the start of the 1942 cam-
paign, Johnny was a rookie
languishing in the bullpen. But
whet, he finally got his chance,
he was a ball of fire, and as the
Cardinals moved into the etas -
Sic against the Yankees, young
Johnny was a 21 game winner
with a bright future.
It Looked even brighter as
twice in the Series he tamed a
tough team which included such
stalwarts es Di -Maggio, Charley
Keller, Bill Dickey, Joe Gordon,
Frankie Crasetti, Red Rolfe and
Phil Rizzuto. Beazley beat Ernie
Bonham in the second game, 4
To 3, and then won a 4 to 2
squcaker from Red Ruffing to
wind up the Series in the fifth
game.
Then he marched off to service
for three gars.
When he came back, Johnny
had lost the touch. In 1946 he

he won a total of two games

Whiteman, who w:s hunwn as
"Lucky George Irani 1', aria,"
was a weird hero in a weird
season. That was 1913, when

son he saw only limited action
in left field against lefthanded
pitching, even though it was an
era in which two-platooning ;-till
teas a novelty.
But it was Whiteman who
ruined the Chicago Cubs in the
Series. In the first game, a 1 to
0 win for a southpaw named
George H. Ruth and called
"Babe", "Lucky Georges put the
only run in scoring position. In
the third game, Whiteman start-
ed the deeisive three -run rally
and then saved the contest with
a Gionfriddo catch, He scored
the winning run in the fourth
game, and then drove home both
winning runs in the fifth and
final contest. Pretty fancy base -
But the next spring as the
Red Sox "pros" returned from
service„ Whiteman drew a ticket
back to the minors.
Then there's the case of
Anthony Rohe, In three seasons
with the Chicago White Sox of
the young American League he
never batted more than .213.
Thus, as those "Hitless Wan-
ders" went into the World Series
of 1906 it was regarded as strict-
ly "no contest."
The opposition was Frank
Chance's Cubs of Tinker -to -Ev-
ers -to -Chance fame. They had
won 116 games while losing only
36 for a .763 percentage, which
still stands as a record. The
"Hitless Wonders" were a team
with a combined batting aver-
age of only .228 and a club total
of nine home runs all season,.
Yet the "Hitless Wonders"
beat them, four games to two.
And the upset can be traced to an
injury to Sox shortstop George
Davis, which gave the .196 -hit-
ting Rohe his chance. All he did
was bat .333 for the classic and
win the first and third games
with resounding triples.
Still, it took practically all the
hits out of his anemia bat. One
year later he was back in the
Minor leagues for good.
Young Johnny Podree. the
hero of Brooklyn's World Series
triumph last year, may have been
lucky that he was called into
service before this season started.
Or, as in Beazley's case, there is
a grim possibility that when he
does return, he will never be
the same.
Because the men who walk
the high road in baseball's an-
nual extravaganza are a risky
lot. Too many have had one
glorious hour — then heart-
break. And you never know
whether your October hero is
going to stay on the glory road
or wind up a one-shot stepchild
of fate. By Oscar Fraley in "The
Police Gazette."
