The head OF the big league was sus-
fering. It Is believed. from mental de-
rangements at the time he fired the
fatal shot. He had been in ill-health
for many months and two OF his out
breaks at the baseball meeting. once
In Chicago and once In Cincinnati. led
to his temporary retirement from the
presidency of the league. In an effort
TO regain his mental balance.
Pulliam shot himself few moments
after 3 o'clock last night. the ball go

ering the optic nerve so that even II
he could have recovered, he would
have been blind. according TO Coroner
Shrady. who was called as soon as
Pulliam shot himself, and placed the
dying man under technical arrest for
attempting suicide
Pulliam left no letters and no inti-
nation OF the cause that led ND To the
suicide.
Pulliam has been keeping rooms at
the athletic club which he occupied
whenever he was In New York. He
returned to his rooms last night at
$3.50 and locked the doors.
No shot was heard. but at few
minutes after 3 the telephone opera
tor in the club noted the light on his
switchboard burning. which indicated
a call from Pulliam's room. He an
swered but received no reply from
Pulliam. A second later he heard a
crash over the telephone as though
someone had fallen. Continued calls
failed TO get an answer and a bellboy
was sent to see what was the matter.
Peering over the transom he saw Pull
liam lying on the floor. clad only in
his underclothing. with blood pouring
from a ballet wound in his head.
| Though Pulliam regained conscious
ness two or three times he was unable
TO give any lucid account Of his act.
Pulliam's friends declare he broke
down mentally as a result Of the great
strain under which he has been work
ing as head OF the National league.
Harry Pulliam was born in Scots

did newspaper work In Louisville and

its secretary. In 1899 he was elected
president Of the National league and
has held that Office ever since.
Funeral arrangements have not yet
been made.
| Pulliam was semi-conscious for a
time after he was found. but could
make no statement. When asked why
he shot himself, he murmured: Shot
myself Why I'm not shot" Then he
began talking In rambling way
which could not be understood. Once
he said:
Grub my head; my head hurts" but
said nothing more that was intelligi-
