Goodwin's Correspondent.

The young woman who is expected to
figure in the projected divorce suit to
be brought against the comedian, Nat
c. Goodwin, by his wife, has for the
past eight years or more been about
the most conspicuous woman in yome
respects In New York city. Before
her face became familiar there she
was a shop girl in a big Brooklyn de-
partment store, and II has been said
that she was born on Long Island,
although others say that she is Irish
by birth. She is a beautiful woman.
still under 80, especially notable for
the beauty and taste of her costumes.
She is usually dressed in the most re-
fined and unobtrusive manner. Her
name has been from time to time
connected with those of different we'll
known New York men, but II was only
after her meeting with Goodwin that
she began to figure as the cause of
barroom brawls.

Annie b. Rich, the actress, was
born in Cincinnati. Ohio, and made
her professional debut as chorus girl
with the Carleton Opera company.
After a few seasons she entered the
vaudeville ranks, singing descriptive
and motto songs, touring the South

now her husband, in California, where
they appeared for the first time as

change In these dates also means tha'
next year the western clubs VIII come
east first and that the ending OF the
season will probably be in the wes''
as II was in 1894 Such an arrange
ment will surely be to the advantage
OF all eastern clubs.
1t has long been settled that the
money making period OF the base ball
season is the first half. May and June
are particularly preferable to any 9TH
er two months of the year for home
games, but July is preferable to August.
Under the 1894 arrangement OF the
schedule the eastern teams Will play
among themselves and with the west
ern teams until July 5-or for all OF
May and June They will be In the
west most CT July and the last three
weeks OF the season. Such Will no
doubt be the schedule program OF 1897.
This change will also affect the Tenn
pie Cup series. You know the Temple
Cup is troubling more than one mag

put II on the shelf in November. /
now doubt whether a motion Of that
kind will prevail, and II looks as II
the first blow at the interesting trophy
and what 1t represents will be given
when the championship season Is ex-
tended about two weeks into the au-
tumn. That would throw the cup Sc
ries well into the middle of October
and would undoubtedly make 1t less
valuable.
Another nut which the league must
crack this fall is the Won der Abe COM
bination of base ball field and electric
light race track. There isn't the re-
hottest doubt that the magnates will
demand divorce of those two OBJ
jects. 1t would not surprise me II he
were compelled to sell his base ball
franchise. 1t is l to 10 shot that
the st. Louis National league team
next season will not play ball on a race
course.
