.HE tragic suicide Of Winfield B.

Call yesterday, shocked all who
ever came in contact with the


clever baseball player. 1t cast
gloom over his comrades which could not
be dispelled and caused them to decide
upon ending their season with the pres
ent week
Win Mercer's friends can account for
his act only on the ground of temporary
mental arrangement. He was in good
spirits up to forty-eight hours before his
death, when he seemed gloomy and de-
pressed. On the way to this coast the
teams stopped at Las Vegas. n. NJ. Here
Mercer visited a brother who is afflicted
with tuberculosis. This visit affected
Mercer for a time. He sadly told his
friends he was afraid he was afflicted
with the disease.
Not a reflection can be cast upon his
accounts as treasurer of the baseball
teams. No deficit in funds exists to
point to a cause for his terrible deed.
His honesty in business affairs even ex-
emplified itself in a final summary of un-
settled financial accounts which he ad-
dressed TO Manager Norris O'Nell and
left behind him.
Leaving the Langham Hotel where the
remainder of the team were located
Mercer registered at the Occidental at 9
o'clock Monday evening under the name
of George Murray, Philadelphia avenue.
A l o'clock in the morning Henry Cassen
and W H Van, detecting the strong odor
Of gas from Mercer's room, entered by
means of pass key.
They found the young man lying dead
upon his bed. So determined had he been
upon making successful attempt at self
destruction that he had connected a long
rubber tube with the gas jet and held
the end in his clenched teeth. His cloth
ing was piled about his head to shut in
the deadly VapOr.
