1907 Star Bloomer Girl letter
American Bloomer Girl's letter from those days. The Boomer Girls began play in 1899 and this letter is soliciting a specific date for a game with the Cohokie Blues team managed apparently by Jack Bene. It is signed by Bob Younger; the manager of the Bloomer Girls. He is requesting a game with the Chohokie Blues team of East St. Louis on May 19th, 1907, since they are "heading his way". He wants to know if that would be possible. Jack Bene had his hand in a number of early baseball teams around this time and was a manager for the Fort Scott Giants of the Missouri Valley League in 1904
