After experiencing suoh a successful season last year It seems a pity that the baseball manager Identified with the league should take a backward step, as now ems probable, and which wonld mean the disbanding of the league. By doing away with the league and amateur playing, honest and clean American sport is smothered. If such a policy is carried out, and semi-pro-fesAicnalism substituted, as now seems likely, it will undoubtedly wind up in a detriment to the game, and the organizations that fosters the club. The Courier-News advocates that the league continue on the same lines as last season. There are plenty of good local players in this city to fill the gap made by the Bafe Works withdrawal and If another team is taken In the publio will support the games.

"What the baseball crank wishes to see featured is local players, not aliens brought here from other cities, especially for the purpose of winning games to uphold the honor of certain organizations. Last year witnessed a great reviral in the sport which will continue if conducted on the amateur lines. THB0U0H TEX TTOCXXT.

MY 01 Mayor Jenkins Asks That Local Contributions be Sent to W. F. Arnold The following communication has been received from Mayor Jenkins wih reference to the appeal made last week for local assistance to the western flood sufferers Mayor's Office, Plainfield, N. June 15, 1903, To the Citizens of Plainfield The appeal from the Armourdale Flood Association to this city has been published in the local news papers, from which it appears that sixteen thousand people of Armour-dale, the south side of Kansas City, have had their houses totally wrecked by flood, rendering them homeless and destitute. The committee, made np of the local postmaster, the publisher of the Kansas Press, and other prominent citizens, apply to ns for money with which to buy material to enable their afflicted fellow-townsmen to re build their own houses.

The appeal sets forth that their own citizens are caring for the refugees temporarily, but that they need our aid. The people of Plainfield have always responded liberally to such appeals. Many of our citizens have expressed the view, in which I fully concur, that the present emergency calls for a speedy and cordial response on our part. Mr. William P.

Arnold, Cashier of the City National bank of this city, has kindly offered to receive and forward, without charge, to the committee referred to, such contributions aa may be left with him for the purpose above mentioned. Therefore, I urgently request such of our citizens as have the ability so to do, to send to Mr. Arnold their respective contributions for the purpose above mentioned. All such contributions will be promptly acknowledged. Your obedient servant, OLIN It.

JENKINS. Mayor. Storage for Valuable. The City National Bank is prepared to receive for storage, valuables of any description. Silverware, jewelry, trunks and boxes may be left indefinitely and absolute safety be thus provided during the abbence of families.
