No Longer King of Pirates.

Pittsburg, Pa, July 20.-When the
Pittsburg club went on the field Mon
day it was announced that Tommy
Leach, the diminutive third baseman
of the team. was in command. At
noon he succeeded Hans Wagner, who
for the past four years has been as
sistant manager, taking charge at all
times during the absence of Manager
Fred Clarke. Clarke is confined TO
his home from injuries received i'll

The change in the management dur

great surprise. Wagner's manag ament

Conway and his wife soon appeared and

one OF the Cummings farmers. He says

to negotiate a series of five games at
the close of the season between the
pennant winner of the Valley league
and the Kansas City Blues, now near
the tail end of the American associa-

in Kansas City, two at the home town
of the bunting winners, and one at a
neutral place, possibly Topeka. After
the meeting on Tuesday, all of the
managers went to the league park to
see the Louisville Colonies and Gear
