FAN FODDER.


The Kansas City fans are to have
a Colored club which they can be
proud of and which will put Kansas
City on the base ball map among the
other cities that have boosted of
great Colored clubs in the past.
Mr.. Wilkinson who for several
years handled the Kansas City All
Nation Club bringing Rube Foster
and c. l. Taylor with their great
clubs TO Kansas City will handle the
club here and from support given his
All Nation club here in the past feels
assured that the Colored fans will
support a good club here playing a
regular schedule OF games with clubs
from the eastern cities. Kansas City
has always been at n handicap in
getting attractions or fast clubs here
on account Of being o. far west from
other cities having fast colored clubs.
and while the management does not
expect the crowds that attend games
in Chicago and Detroit they do expect
that the attendance will be good
enough to keep "A good club in the cir.
cult as Kansas City is known as the
best base ball town in the United
States for its size.
The club will be known as the Kan
sas City Monarchs and the players
signed to date are as follows: Pitch.
ers: John Donaldson, Sam Crawford
Rogan and Harris; Catcher, Rodrigo
a Cuban; First base. Jackson; Second
base, Blukoi; Short Stop, Mendez
Portuonda. a Cuban; Third base, Nc
Nair; Right Field, Baro, Il Cuban
Left Field and possibly Torrientiaa
Cuban. C.. +. Several other players
are expected to sign soon and sew
aral local players will be given a tria.
and will likely make good as the club
will carry twelve to fourteen players

Columbia, April 25.-Judging from
| reports received in Columbia today,
the Democratic club meetings
throughout the state yesterday after
noon and last night were character
zed by d commendabie harmony.
There was very little, if any, fact
onal politics. The people of the
state seem to be realigning them
selves or economic issues-the vital
| matters of the real questions of live
and let live.
There seems also to have been no
3ecMad expression of opinion as to
the choice Of a Democratic nominee
Gor president. For instance. in Ward
/ cluo III Columbia, OF which your
(. eSpondcnt is member, a reso-
i1t;cn introduced by Mr. John j..
Mc1Iahan. endorsing former Secre-
tary of the Treasury VIM. G. Nc
