by surprise, but the members seemed to
feel very kindly disposed to 1t.

tate deals. and proposes to bear nearly
all the cost OF the enterprise herself, which
will approximate many thousands of dol

furnished by Miss officer and all Of the
local contractors are figurlfg out bids for
the work. They are based upon q some

PIRATES CERTAIN
they Will WIN OUT

New York, Aug. 20.-Pittsburg has
not as yet abandoned hope of beating
out the Chicago Cubs for the cham
pionship of the National league this
season. Members of the pirate crew in
New York to meet the Giants in the
recent series of games profess serious
confidence in their ability to win the
bunting a second time.
The Cubs are playing in Brooklyn
and are stopping in New York close
to the hotel housing the pirates. While
here the men of the rival teams nat
urally discuss the possibilities of the
pennant race. OF course, the Chicago
players contend they never will be
ousted from first place. Those asser-
tons are resented by the pirates, who
declare it is only question OF a cou-
pie of weeks before a decided change
will take place in the standing.

The players have appealed to Evers

will be a task to keep quiet on the
field. He adds he cannot put forth his
best efforts unless he is talking. Man
