 Season Is Promised.

1 Memphis. Tenn, Dec. 21.-Although the makeup of the 1908 circuit of the ] Cotton States Baseball League re-
 mains undecided, the successful or
 Sanization, which will commence it's
 seventh straight campaign with the |next race, has named officers and with A~C. CroWder at the head, baseball
 people tn-the South believe that a good season of sport awaits fans in

 The new president, who succeeded D. Stacy Compton, resigned lives in
 Jackson, Miss, and has been leading factor in baseball circles in that city for several years. President Crowder 1 is a member of the Board of Al
 dermen at the Mississippi capital, and may occupy relatively the same conspicuous position as Mayor Joyner i Of Atlanta in regard to being a base ball fan as Crowder is a prospective candidate for mayor with big follow ling. He is grand exalted ruler of l the Mississippi Elks, and his election to the presidency of the Cotton States League was unanimous.
 He Is the fourth president elected 1 by the league, which was originally launched through the efforts of J. S. Tilford, a thirty-third degree fan, who moved from Frankfort, Ky, to Green
 vile, Miss. several years ago and who was first president

POPE TO MAKE CHANGE.
Monsignor Kennedy Mag Replace
Cardinal Nerry del VGl.

Private advices received in this country yesterday
from Rome tend to confirm the cable reports that
Cardinal Merry del Val will retire from the office OF
secretary Of state for Plus X. The same advices
say that Cardinal Merry del Val Is TO be succeeded
by an Englisa-sDeaking prelate. and that among
a certain group OF the Cardinals de Curia it was
frequently said that the Pope planned TO appoint
Monsignor Kennedy, rector Of the American Col
legs at Rene. to this high office.
That Cardinal Merry del Val is to retire Is con-
sidered beyond doubt Monsignor Kennedy is IN
this country at present. and has been here for sew
eral weeks on a mission which has not been made
public. Several prelates In this country amohS
taem Cardinal Gibbons. Archbishops Farley ana
Ryan are said TO be cOgnizant Of the Pope's plan
to appoint an American secretary Here IN new
York however no prelate could be found who
would acknowledge this. though all said IN SO
many words-''We'u be honored in the recosnltloh

THE PROGRAMME.

ON The Chicago Evening Post
The usher led him 10 his seat.
The usher stepped upon his feet
And thrust into his hand
A pudey book-a sInudgy, book
A programme Of the play;
Then with a sympathetic look
The usher went away.
The orchestra struck up a tune.
The footlights gave a FASH
And ID then 81 the man said; 7 must look
He opened then the pudgy book
And hunted for the show.
He read of facial creams that give
Pare beauty TO the cheek;
He read Of cnres that make you live
Forever and week:
He saw the corset iady's face
That seemed immensely pleased
Because with geometTto grace
She had been tightly squeezed.
The curtain rose, but he read on
Through page and page and page;
The actors all had come and gOnes
The curtain hid the stages
Then came another overture.
But stiu he tipped the leaves,
Unless this thing deeeives
He found the hair that-won't-come-off
He found that Checkitt cures a cough
And YEARLY he sighed;
''It must be here; III find 10 yetf
And then he read and read
Typon the stage the hero met
The Yillain-shot him dead.
The play was done. the crowd filed out
An save this lonely man.
Who eyed the programme with deep doubt
IN his beWildereG scan,
The usher came and said: That's ALL
The man would stlll pursue
The advertisements large and small
He was not halfway through.
They led him forth a shattered wretch
Who babbled as he went
An ambulance they had 10 fetch;
Now ia the ward he's pent,
And still imaginary leaves
lie turns, and stops TO say,
As one who IN vain questiug grIeVes:
81 wonder what's the play?'
