Chatta- nooga thinks she will be among the lead CTS when the curtain falls in September
 Atlanta's team is criticised as follows by Ed Bruffey:
 During the two games against the Bos- 
 showing Manager Pabst and the lovers of the game here are well pleased with what the men have done. The outteld is generally conceded to be the strongest and fastest Atlanta has had in a long time Frank, Longley and Winters are all hard hitters and get over the outfeld in good shape and quick time. on the bases they have shown they know how to get around and have created a good impression. The inheld has shown up in good shape. too. Pabst, at first, has made it apparent that he understands the game and is always in 1t. He covers the bag as well as any one could while at the bat he has shown his.
 Krug. at third. caught the crowd Thurs day His work was of the pyrotechnic character both in the field and at the bat Out of four times at bat that day he made four hits, a batting average of thousand Hoffmeister and Busch have been each at second and at short. and in both places each man has worked to the satisfaction of Manager Pabst. Smith and Leighton will remain with the At lantas during the season behind the bat. so satisfactorily has been their work so far Baker, Hale and Childs, the three pitchers tried, have proven satisfactory"
 Freddy Hewitt in the Daily Item sums up the work of the New Orleans bunch in Saturdays game as follows:
 Tt was too bad that the Clevelanders turned the tables so decisively. The fans expected to catch another game at least, and so did Manager Powell, for he work ed nearly his entire staff of twirlers in the endeavor. He did not ask Cy Swain to work, but Dannehower, High, Stewart and Bradford all took their turns on the block Danny was not very effective for

PRESIDENT OF WESTERN
 LEAGUE KILLS HIMSELF


 elected president of the present Western League at St. Joseph last winter
 The work of organizing the new league proved very great and MT. Whitfield toil- ed night and day. Recently the tax upon him began to tell and for the past two weeks he has been under physician's care.
 Last week at the great American handi- cap shoot, MT. Whitfield, by sheer force of will, attended the six days contest. Saturday last found him on the verge of nervous prostration and on Sunday he was out of his head part of the time. Nothing serious was thought of his case, however. Early today he arose and dressed himself. and then without mak- ing any remark stepped to the next room and fired a bullet into his right temple. He was dead when members of his family reached him.
 MT. Whitfeld's plight is layed to over work and worry over financial affairs. He had lost heavily on several enterprises in which he was interested.
 MT. Whitfield was born in England for ty-seven years ago. He came to Kan sas City in 1884, and with the exception of one year, had been with the Star since that time.

They are very pretty and will help the boys make fine appearance when away from the home grounds. This does not mean they will not be worn at home also Last year the men had sweaters, but coats are now considered the proper thing.
 The games with Cleveland next week will be the best before the opening of the season. The Bluebirds, under Ar mours management, have won two games from New Orleans and lost two.

Three of these were well placed bunts beaten out cleverly, but there was Hemphills home run drive to the deep centre field that made up for these little things. which at times caused one to blush to have to call them hits.
