The meet ing between the petite little actress and the big ball player proved a case of love at ffrat sight, and they decided In a Jiffy that It would be better for both professions for them to link their fu tures. Since this meeting, only a few weeks ago, the actress and the catcher have been together almost constantly, while the latter was In the city, and It was only a short time until the friends of both began to suspect.

Continuing, she said: "Yes, It’s true, all right, but I didn’t want It to become known yet Mr. Smith didn't want any of the members of the ball team put wise until the thing was all over. I suppose ho was afraid he might be guyed.” Miss Youngs will take the role of Betty In "Tho Christian." She was In the cast In the "Cowboy and the Lady" and played the part of the maid In "The Charity Ball." She declined to state whether she In tended to give up the stage after her marriage.
