Cupid
has captured Lloyd Rickart's goat.
But
Rickart, who is secretary and treasurer of the
Brown's baseball team, doesn't care. He is going
to try to save the game by making a second slide
for home.
Once
before he landed on home plate, but a judicial
umpire called him out. That was when his first
wife obtained a divorce a year ago. Since then he
has been out of the matrimonial pennant race.
Miss
Rebecca Tebbetts, daughter of L.B. Tebbetts of 12
North King's Highway, will be on the coaching
line when Rickart rejoins the Benedicts.
She
also obtained a divorce less than a year ago up
to which time she was the wife of Thomas A. Moore
of Chicago. Her allegation was desertion. Judge
Williams withheld his decision until he could
determine whether there was collusion between Mr.
and Mrs. Moore, and after an investigation, he
granted a decree to the wife and restored her
maiden name.
Friends
of Rickart have heard that the wedding is to be
Thursday night, but he says that it will be next
Tuesday night at the Third Baptist Church.
Nevertheless,
many St. Louis fans who know Mr. Rickart
personally are keeping a close watch on him
because they suspect that an effort will be made
to have the ceremony performed when nobody is
looking.
The
new Mrs. Rickart-to-be will accompany her husband
when he goes East with the Browns next Tuesday
night.
