 Miss Youngs who lives at PerryviI1e, Mo, alleges that "Jen'' courted her for several months and then asked her to be his wife She consented, and it was generally known, she says, that she was his hancee. Many let ters passed between the couple. which Miss Young says she will produce at the trial.
 About the time that Mss Young expected to become Mrs. Tesreau she was startled to see an announcement of Tesreau's marriage to Miss, Helen B. Blake. This was just prior to the time he started on a baseball trip around the world.
 E Tesreau has filed an answer denying the allegations. In one of the letters which Miss Young intends to use at the trial the baseball pitcher wrote: You spoiled me the evening we came from your sister'sI mean was al- ready spoiled-but that first kiss was enough to: have me tell you about it. And I have never regretted a word that ever told you or a. minute that T spent with you.''
 Tn another letter to her he uueried: :: tI gave my arms lots of exercise last winter didn't 7's
 Tn a third letter he wrote: Mo Graw has been kidding me ever since the news came out. He asked me if I could do my best when was in love. Every one in the club now calls me Clara

 All indications point to Bills De coming the pilot of a tfbig show club in the near future.

 Sooner or later Jennings will want ta go elsewhere and when he gets ready to make change, Donovan would be a very popular successor

 The most important baseball tour known to the game tip to the decade of the '70's was that made through the western states by the National club of Washington in July, 1867. when that club visited no less than a half dozen states and travelled nearly 5000 miles, playing matches in six different cities. During their tour they played nine matches and won all but one, and thereby hangs tale.
 After defeating the clubs of Colum- bus, Cincinnati, Louisville, Indtanap- oils and St Louis, they met the Forest City Club of Rockford, III, at Dexter Park, Chicago, and though the Forest City nine had. previously been twice defeated by the Exce1siors of Chica- ga, on this special occasion they came out victorious in their game with the Nationals, to the great joy of the Rockfords and to the surprise of the Chicago Excelsiors. | < In view of this victory over the Ma tionaIs by the club the +Excelsiors had just defeated in two games, the. Chi cago nine felt sanguine of taking the Nationals into camp next day. Of course, the largest crowd of specta- Chicago thronged Dexter Park when the Natio ona1s met the Illinois cham pions. The Nationals were. disgust ed at theirI defeat by a country nine" and that, too, at the hands of a. pitcher just eighteen years old, as A. GS SpaldiIg of the Forest City nine was at that time, and they avowed to revenge themselves on the xce1siors, and they did. for they. whipped the Chicago hampions by the one-sided score of 49 to 4.
 A more disappointed crowd never left 8. ball field than the Exeelsio DTS and the local throng of rooters who had backed them up. A crowd of St Louis betting men who had seen the Nationals play at St. Louis had took in all the bets that the Chica.- gos offered on the Excelsiors and consequently reaped g. harvest of greenbacks on the occasion
