Where They Play Tomorrow.
Topeka at st. Joseph.
Denver at Omaha
Lincoln at Sioux City.
Wichita at DeS Moines.
With the Kaws going well and not suf-
fering with any weakness except in the
pitchers department, Gear is making an
effort to overcome this with the addition
of Dummy Taylor and Hassinger the
young phenom of Chicago.
If these two pitchers accomplish the
task expected of them, the Kaws will be a
circuit. And the Kaws will be guaranteed
a place in the first division.
The Kaws have met every team on the
circuit and the writer hasn't changed his
mind about the strength of the aggrega-
ton. There is not team on the circuit
with an infield and outfield any better
balanced than the Kaws and good pitch
ing is all that is necessary to win games
Ducky Holmes may decide to shift
James to first and put Callahan on third
Callahan has done well at third on previous
occasions.
THE KNOCKER.
Who is the pesSimistic guy
That views the game with jaundiced eye,
Whose voice is raised to villify?
The knocker.
Who lauds the player to the sky
Then bids him go lay down and die
II he should chance to muff fly?

Manager Doom believes that he has the
best pitching staff in the National League
in Seaton. Chalmers and Alexander. Sea
ton has done the best work of them all
thus far.
Ever notice how daintily and politely
most of the modern players draw back
their hind feet when the ball approaches
picture of the old Baltimores. They al
ways ran up to meet the ball. and such
was their eagerneSS that they were often
far inside the diamond when they took
their swing.
When Manager McGraw asked waivers
on Doc Crandall Manager Tinker at once
stepped in with the announcement that he
would take him. Judging from the work
the Red pitchers have been doing there is
plenty of business for a relief man on
the Tinker team.
Joe Berger has been tried out at second
base by the White Sox with the result

Rome, April il. Picrpont Nor
gan, the New York financier, died
here yesterday a few minutes after
noon. For months his health had
been declining, but the symptoms
became greatly aggravated about a
week ago, and since Wednesday last
he had been in a comatose condition
Today his body, lying in the death
chamber, is surrounded with flowers.
Messages of sympathy have been re-,
ceived from King Victor Emmanuel,
high officials of state, diplomatic
representatives and from many per-
sonal friends in all parts of the
world.
The death of Mr.. Morgan was not
known in Rome until several hours
after it occurred owing to the desire
that Mr.. Morgans son, J. P. Nor
gan, Jr., who is in New York. should
be the first notified.
The Official statement, prepared
~ Or. Giuseppe Bastianelli, DR.. NJ.
Allen Starr and DR.. George A. Dixon,
the attending physicians, Indicated
that gradual general collapse fol-
lowed condition of nervous pros
tration, which prevented the diges-
tive organs from performing their
functions and affected the mental
faculties.
For five days Mr.. Margan received
artificial nourishment, but was I'M
able to assimilate the food As re-
suit he lost strength rapidly.
He was in a condition of semi
coma, which prevented him from
recognizing those about him for
many hours previous to his death.
His end was without suffering.
No preparations have been made
for removal of Mr., Morgan's body
to the United States.
