 George Leidy, former Southern league umpire and player on the Ll.'le Rock Atlanta, Birmingham and New O.leans teams, and now manager of che Monroe club in the Cotton States league. reached Little Rock yesterday in search of mate rial with which to strengthen his team. Monroe has been having mJre han its share of hard luck lately md is in a badly crippled condition. no less than four of its best players having been put out of business in encounters with oii Dame Misfortune. Sickness has caused the re- tirement of one of their star pitchers, their first baseman has badly wrtnched ankle, a catcher sustained a broken hand and Leidy himself had his arm broken hy being hit with a pitched ball about three weeks ago.

From the Arkansas Gazette,
 If Atlanta had won yesterdays game from the Travellers a protest would have been entered immediately by Manager Finn. It all arises over the playing of
 Catcher John Justin Clarke, former member of the Little Rock team.
 There has been much dispute over the title to Clarkes services and MT. Finn maintains that Atlanta cannot show a clear title to him. He was released by Little Rock to St. Paul, the Little Rock manager declares. and Atlanta has not the slightest right to play him. As far as Little Rock is concerned the matter will be pushed to a finish. and as Clarke has caught in nearly every game for the Colones their standing will be material ly affected-that is. If Atlanta ever beats Little Rock and our protest Is allowed for the other teams around the circuit will not be slow to take the cue them selves.

sLAcPILE SETTINGS.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
 "On an average the attendance at the Southern league games this year has been better than last" says President W. M. Kavanaugh, "and as far as I can see there is no reason why the season should not turn out prontably to all concerned. New Orleans shows up better than 1t did in 1903, while Birmingham and Atlanta. notwithstanding the hard luck the latter team has had are drawing far better than they have previously. Memphis and Shreveport tally up about even with last year, while in Little Rock and Nashville there has been slight falling off, due to the cool weather which marked the beginning of the season. The decrease has been but slight, however, and I an- ticipate most successful year for the league"
 The falling off mentioned may be as- scribed to the decrease In gfandstand re- celpts, due to the chilly atmosphere which has prevailed thus far. as the fans pre- fer sitting on the bieachers and absorb ing the warm sunshine's rays to going into the grandstands and chattering their teeth meath the shade of the sheltering shingles.

 Paul Hausman. retired. of 107 Madison Ave, says When Doan's Kidney Pills first came to my notice I was suffering intensely from pain in my back and lameness through my loins, and no one could have made me believe that would get such quick relief as I did from this remedy. I was having great deal of trouble with my kidneys and sometimes had to get up seven or eight times dur ing the night. This broke my rest so that I felt tired and unrefreshed in the morning. I got the pills from w. C. Powders drug store, 10 Dexter Ave. They drove away the pain in my back ana served as a tonic for my kidneys.

i'm a Fracas at a Dance I'm
st. Louis.

The orchestra had just finished a
waltz at the Concordia Club hall, in st.
Louis, and the decadent notes had
scarcely ceased vibrating when a riot
broke out.
The fight was started between sew
eral young men near the main entrance
to the hall. In a minute 1t was general,
and a hundred men and women were
participants.
Revolvers were drawn, knives brand
ished, clubs welded and bricks and
other missiles hurled p~romiscuously.
Many were injured, but escaped from
the police by jumping through win
dows and scurrying through the sew
e1al exits.
After the fight had been quelled by
the police, Emma Wagner, 80 years old,
vas picked up in an unconscious con-
dition by Police Sergeant Field.
She was taken to the city hospital.
An examination showed that she had
been struck OH the left temple by some
blunt instrument, causing a confusion.
She regained consciousness for a short
time after arriving at the hospital, but
again lapsed into a comatose state.
Her condition is reported as serious,
and she may die.
Sergeant Field said that it was the
most vicious mix-up that he had ever
encountered. In trying to separate
bellig9rents, Patrolman Helgoth was
knocked down, his club and star stolen
and his clothing torn and cut. Sergeant
Field said that women took sides and
fought like men. One woman, he says,
was armed with a large butcher knife.
