TRAVELLERS DROP ANOTHER.
In Battle of Veterans Breitenstein Gets
Better of Hart.

New Orleans, August 2-Little trouble
was experienced by the locals in defeating
Little Rock again today. Breitenstein and
Hart were the opposing pitchers and the
New Orleans veteran got the better of
the argument. Perrys error was re-
sponsible for Lindsay scoring in the fifth.
A couple of two-base hits in the sixth
inning brought in another run. Hart was
wild in the seventh and four more runs
were scored by New Orleans before the
side was retired. 1t was originally an
nounced that there would be no game
today, a postponement having been or
dered out of respect to the memory Of
the late Harry Pulliam. AS result there
was scarcely 300 people In attendance.

Heydler Heads National League
MagndfeS Attend PuIlian1 Funeral
Then Elect John HeydIer President

Louisville, August 2.-Little more than
an hour after Harry C. Pulliam. late pres
ident of the National league, lay be-
meath the green sward of Cave Hill GEM
etery in this city, John Heydler of Gin
cinnati secretary of the league, had been
chosen president in his place at a special
meeting of the directors today. There was
some feeling, of which President Charles
Murphy of the Chicago club was spolSes-
man, that ii was indicate to name Mr.
Pullam's successor at this time, but the
leagues immediate need of a qualified
head was set forth so powerfully that the
magnates yielded.
Besides electing Mr.. Heydler, who is to
fill Mr.. Pulliams unexpired term, the
directors concerned themselves only with
paying tribute to Mr.. Pulliam's memory.
They designated the remainder of his sal
airy as president during 1909 to his estate;
and they appointed Garry Hermann of
Cincinnati. Barney Dreyfus of Pittsburg
and Mr.. Murphy as a. committee to select
and have erected in Cave Hill a suitable
monument to the deceased president. In
addition to this they provided that the
players in the National league shall wear
crepe for 30 days.
The meeting was attended by four of
the five league directors: Murphy, Drey-
fus Ebbetts of Brooklyn and John Dovey
of Boston. Garry Herman, the absentee,
will reach Cincinnati tomorrow from the
west.
Though there was no set eulogy pre-
pared by the committee, each magnate
spoke of Mr. Pulliam as the squarest
man in baseball" and one who had WELD
ed an elevating influence over the ma
tional game.
As this was a special meeting 1t ad-
journed sine die. Dreyfus remained with
relatives in the suburbs of Louisville over
night Murphy returned to Chicago to-
night and Dovey and Ebbetts left tonight
also. Manager Fred Clark of the Pitts
burg team and other members of that

The Best chris mas | Have spent

THAT is a hard question to answer,
and comes rather unexpectedly" said
A. W. Raybould, the genial secretary
Of the local lodge Of Elks. when asked to
tell Of the best Christmas he had ever
spent.
There have been many, both in
childhood and since / have become
'grown-up, that you might think. if 1
told you Of them, would make it easy
for me to decide which was the best.
But on careful consideration, / may say
that from the present outlook / will get
more real enjoyment out of the coming
Christmas than any ] have ever seen.
I have had the honor Of being secretary
of the Salt Lake lodge of the B, p. o. E.
for the last sixteen years, and have
been a member since the organization
of the order in 1885. In that time I have
naturally seen a great deal Of the good
done by the society, especially around
this season Of the year. But never IN
the history Of the Elks or any other or
ganization have I seen such a whole
hearted attempt by a body of men to
bring into the lives of the poor children
of the city the spirit Of Christmas cheer,
the gladness and joy that comes from
the knowledge that someone has re-

It is not the custom Of the society to

door, and the world knows nothing of
it. If I could take you into the lodge

UNIVERSITY NEEDS CASH
Campaign Opened for Funds to Com
plete Maeser Building for
Provo School.

George II. BrimhaIl, president Of
Brigham Young university at Provo,
attended by a number of his faculty,
opened headquarters in salt Lake yes
terday and will begin a campaign to
raise about $4,000 to complete the
erection Of the AIaeser memorial build
ing at B. Y, U.
While Professor BTimhaH and a corps
operate in Salt Lake, other members Of
the faculty are scattered throughout
the state. giving UP their Christmas
holidays to the work Of raising funds
for the new building. The structure
viii cost $4,000. OF this amount S7O,-
CAB has been reported as raised at
headquarters at Provo. In the last two
days it is reported that $3.50 has been
raised, but Professor Brimhall does not
believe that this is all the money raised
SO far, as he anticipates reports from
places throughout the state.
With Professor BrimhaI is n. L.
Nelson, professor Of philosophy at b.
Y. T.; J. B. Keller, principal OF the
commercial course, and Miss Alice
Reynolds, assistant in English. They
expect TO begin active work at once in
Salt Lake, and will call upon the
friends of B. Y. Z. to aid in the COM
pletiOn of the Maeser building.
The members of the faculty expect

pect to raise in Salt Lake and other

A. W.
Raybould.

Salt Lake, which the committee in
charge of the affair has obtained, ever
$50 in number, you would realize why
1 say 1 expect to get more real enjoy
ment from the coming Christmas than
from any 1 have ever spent. 1 can pic
ture the poor and needy little ones Of
the city, when on Christmast day the
packages already nearly all wrapped
and labeled with the name of the child
for whom it is intended, are handed out
to them. We are spending over $1,000
on presents for, poor children this year
and while, as 1 said before, 1 have had
countless happy times on Christmas
days gone by, expect to get more real
joy from the coming Christmas than I
have ever experienced before.
''The committee in charge, knowing
personally nearly every member of the
order in the city, thought they had a
pretty fair idea Of just how much in
terest each member would take in this
Christmas day remembrance of the
city's needy little ones, but it is safe to
say that the zeal manifested by each
and every member, the readiness to do
all in his power which each man has
shown, have surprised them. You
would probably get the same answer to
this question you have asked me from
any member Of the 3. P. o. E. in Salt
Lake today. I viii get more happiness
from the coming Christmas, from being
a member Of the order which is doing
so much for the poor children of the
city, and from being concerned In this
great work of charity and love, than
from any of the 'Yuletide' days Of my
childhood or later life, and you can put
me down as saying that the coming
Christmas is to be the greatest ever on
my list"
