path of fame has probably never been
equaled in the history OF baseball. For
nine seasons he has been champion

other batter has ever made such a
record.
On Aug. g. 1905, a tall, nervous ap-

VALIDITY OF WILLS
HARD NUT 10 CRACK
SOLDIERS DlsPRosE OF PROPER.
TY IN LETTERS FROM THE
BATTLE FRONT

BERLIN, Feb. Questions of the
validity of soldiers wills, generally
made in the field and often in the form
OF letters home, have given the civil
courts some hard nuts to crack. In
more than one case the perfectly pat
ent intention of the devisor has had
to be ignored because he did not
know how to draw up a binding docu-
ment.
Two such cases have just been pas
sed upon, and the yerdicts have been
opposed to each other through sheer
accident. The first is that of soldier
who wrote from the trenches of
France to his fiancee telling her that
If he should fall he wanted her to
/ have one-half of his property. He
sent second letter to her parents
which he signed Your Son Fritz"
The first was signed. "Your true
Fritz"
BY accident rather than by design
he wrote out In one of the letters his
full name and address to indicate
4, how letters to him should be made
out. The court held that this aceiden-
tai insertion of the full name legally
established the identity of the tesla.
tor. as his signatures did not, and
therefore upheld the validity of the
letter will
A similar case went the other way
because the letter was signed only by
a Christian name. A mother sued in
behalf of her daughter for half of a
fallen soldiers estate, on the basis OF
a letter signed only Heinrich" and
not dated from any definite place
Though there seemed to be no mora
doubt of Heinrichs intentions, the
court ruled against his fiancee.
