Looks Like HeydIer.

Cincinnati, July 29.--The tragic death of Harry Pulliam. president of the Ma tional Baseball league has already caused speculation as to his successor.
 Garry Hermann. president of tho Cincinnati Baseball club, Is in Yellow stone Park, and John D. Bruce, secretary of the national commission, is out of the city. However, others who are accredited with having inside knowledge of baseball play, seem to think that John Heydler, secretary of the National league, has the inside track for the league presidency.
 During the recent meeting of the na- tional commission in Cincinnati, when Puiliam was asked to resume his duties, 1t was then the general gossip here that Secretary Heydler had acquitted himself commercially in filling the presidential post, and if Pulliam should have to resign on account of poor health, Heydler would stand the best show of being elected as Pulliam's successor
 During Pulliam's visit to Cincinnati two weeks ago, he suffered several spells of melancholia, 1t is said, and sat for hours at a time staring into space and not say ing a word.

PuiIiam,s Nashville Visit.

Nashville, July @.-(Special Hilary Pulliam, the dead National league presi- dent, was well known in Nashville. He was here on a visit to his sister, Mrs. G. w. Cain, last spring, spending two weeks. He left Nashville for Florida, apparently much improved in health. For the last several years MT. Pulliam always ate his Christmas dinners with his sister, often remaining for several days after Christ mas. He was extremely fond of his sis ter and her husband, and was unusually cheerful and happy when he could shake off his onerous baseball duties and De with them if only for few days. It was a standing rule of the family to never let newspaper reporters see MT. Pulliam when he came on these holiday visits. Mrs. Cain said she did not want him seen by re- porters. He came, she would aIways say, to be with her and MT Cain, and not to be annoyed about baSeban matters During his several visits t Nashville MT. Pulliam made quite number or ac- ouaintapces and his visits were or es- pecial delgh- to the friends. MT. Cam left tonight for New York to look arter the remains.

EDITED BY HUGH w. ROBERTS

Our suggestion of yesterday morning that McGivray be placed at first, Gygli at second and Ya1uey at right-was fa- Y9rahdy acted upon yesterday afternoon
 Tho plan to date has worked exceed ingiy well, and we feel riattered ct hay ing solved a puzzle that has long been source of worry.
 McGilvray In yesterdays game, ap- peared at home on the first corner. and Gysli, who had starred at first, did a great deal better at second than we ex- pected he could do.
 Andy Bowen, judged out of condition by Manager Molesworth, was suspended yesterday morning for the balance of the season.
 He has played his last game for Bir- mingham this year, at least He is a finished little fielding keystone proprietor. never loses his head in a pinch, never fails to cover first a sacrifice, runs bases well, but just can't hit the ball.
 Then his physical condition has not been good, and Molesworth determined to suspend him for the remainder of the season. Bowen, personally, Is splen- did young fellow, and very popular.
 Hogan Yancey, the football and base- ball star of the Central University of Kentucky the old Chickasaw, and erst- while outfielder of the Bnghampton club of the New York State league, appeared In right field yesterday.
 He immediately broke into the lime light, catching drive that looked good for two sacks, and later hurling out man who attempted to go to third from first on a hit with greatest ease. He made a good appearance at the stick though he did not get hit He showed splendid speed while scoring the Barons first run
 He made a very favorable impression, indeed.
 The lineup of yesterdays game will be continued indefinitely, or until the time comes when Manager Molesworth feels that other changes are necessary But as long as McGilvray and Gygli handle themselves as well as they did yesterday the present arrangement will be perma- nent.
 As result of the games yesterday Memphis is far. far below Birmingham and Birmingham is fast, fast crawling up on Mique Finn.
 At any rate, we have won three straights. H. W. R.

 Trims Crackers.

Atlanta. July 29.-Atlanta and New Or leans broke even in a doubleheader this afternoon. Bartley, traded to Atlanta by New Orleans for Maxwell, defeated his former teammates, while Maxwell de- feated Atlanta. Bartley pitched an excel lent game, three innnigs of which were played in a hard rain. Both sides were anxious to go on with the contest and made no protest. The second game was won by New Orleans with Rogers pitch ing for the home club. He was pretty badly punished in the sixth inning when five runs were made by New Orleans on three hits. Rohe, for New Orleans, got a home run with two men on bases. Dark ness ended the second game at the con clusion of the eighth. Score:

The. Barons won from the Travellers in the ninth. the final score being 1 to S.
 To win three runs were required. The three who scored got on In this manner:
 McGivray singled to shortstop.
 Raftls was walked.
 Gygli was walked.
 Catcher Raub, who Tuesday after noon hit a home run with the bases full. which meant defeat to Memphis singled at this opportune moment to right.
 McGilvray and Raftis scored.
 With the tally balanced and with Gygli on third and Raub on first Fleharty singled lusciously to right. Gygli scored the winning run.
 The Barons throughout the game played miserably. They violated prac- tically every rule of good baseball. But luck stuck by them to the end, and Rhoades was robbed of a victory which he had thought sewn up completely.
 The visitors were the first to score. In the fifth. with two down, Fleharty walked Rhoades and lost his temper when Fitzsimmons failed to rule with him. Then Collins and Flood beat out hits to the inheld, one going through Fleharty and the other going safe be- cause he forgot to cover first
 There were three balls and no strikes on Perry He smashed what would have been the third strike to right, Rhoades and Collins scoring.
 In the seventh Cocash was safe on a fielders choice and stole second. Rhoades was walked again and while Gygli was forcing him at second, Co- cash crossed the plate.
 The Barons' first run was made in the fifth. Yancey was walked and sac rifced. Raubs single between first and second sent him home.
 Both Fleharty and Rh oades pitched splendidly. Fleharty suffered as a re- suit of lost temper, and Rhoades could not control his splitter"
 The Barons threy away countless opportunities as a result of extremely poor DlaEfnQ

New York, July 29.-John A. Heydler, secretary and treasurer of the National League of Professional Baseball Clubs, will arrive in New York and assume charge of the business affairs of the league tomorrow. A telegram notifying MT. Heydler of the tragic death of Pres ident Harry Clay Pulliam, who died this morning after shooting himself through the head last night. was handed to him today while he was en route from Alex andria Bay to Montreal by boat.
 MT. Heydler's first act after reaching Montreal was to direct a telegram to New York friends saying that he would start for New York immediately. With G. w. Cain of Nashville, Tenn, a brother-in- law of MT. Puliam, who Is also ex- pected to arrive tomorrow, MT. Heydler will complete the funeral arrangements. In his telegram he said that in his opin- ion interment should be made at Louis- Hlle MT. Pulllams former home.
 It was learned today that President Pulliam's last official act before firing the a circular letter to club presidents of the league, notifying them that the time for keeping park flags at half mast as token of respect to the memory of President George B. Dovey of the Bos- ton club and President Israel w. Dur ham of the Philadelphia club, who died recently, expired yesterday.
 MT. Heydler on his arrival here will make arrangements for the election of a successor to President Pulliam. The be- lief seems to be general that Heydler will be chosen for the position practi- cally without opposition.
 PuIliam's Nerve Shaken.
 As chief executive of the leading base- ball organization of the country MT. Pull liam's course sometimes brought him into sharp conflict with the club proprietors Some of these latter particularly opposed as excessively arbitrary the president S instructions to umpires. immediately after he assumed office, to deal severely with cases of so-called ''rowdy baseball.s A succession of controversies were hard or the presidents nerves and at the last meeting in February at Chicago he showed signs of a breakdown. Pullian wanted to make public the names of the men who, he said, tried to bribe the rmpires in the last Chicago-New York game. = He had become imbued with the idea that the league magnates were perSecut- ing him and that unless the names o1 the alleged bribers were made public the sport of baseball was doomed.
 During the banquet which followed the directors meeting Pullfam suddenly rose
