ANOTHER LEAGUE sEABI.
Rival Lawyers Make More Trouble for the
Baseball Magnates.

Rival Lawyers Make More Trouble for the
Baseball Magnates.
CHICAGO, Jan. N.-[Specidt. ]-Profes-
sional Jealousy between two lawyers is
likely to involve the new National League
and American Association of Baseball Clubs
in serious trouble. The warning attorneys
are Colonel Rogers, of Philadelphia, for
years attorney Of the National League, and
Zach Phelps, who up to the time of its de-
mise at Indianapolis, filled the same office
for the American Association. When the
amalgamation occurred, Phelps, much to
the disgust of Rogers, was appointed coun-
sci to the new organization. Rogers wanted
the job himself. The two lawyers and Nick
Young were appointed committee to for
mulate new national agreement The
Colonel, determined upon revenge, drafted
national agreement, submitted it 70 him
self and incidentally to Nick Young, and
then rushed it into print.
Thus Phelps became acquainted with the
plans of the new agreement, for it is charged
that Rogers not only neglected to submit
the agreement to his colleague, but without
placing the matter before the League, he
arbitrarily assumed the power of naming
the time when it should go into effect, SET
ting February 1 as the date. Instead of
allowing the League to adopt the agreement
as body, he mailed each President proofs
of the document and asked him to vote for
its adoption or rejection.
Chicago, Cleveland and Cincinnati have
come out fat-footed against the proposed
new agreement. President Hart to-day
sent q hot letter to Rogers denouncing the
provisions of the agreement, and President
Robson, of Cleveland, who is in Chicago,
wired his unqualified disapproval. Brush,
of Cincinnati, also sent letter in warm op-
position. They say that without the CO.
operation of the Eastern and Western
Leagues the agreement is worthless, and
those organizations will never submit to
the harsh terms of protection proposed by
Rogers.

sPALDING's OPINION.
j. W. Talks About the Latest Phase OF tho
Lyons Case.

j. W. Talks About the Latest Phase Of tho
Lyons Case.
During conversation with areporter re-
garding the Lyons case Tuesday. j. w.
Spalding said:
'The understanding at indianapolis was
that contracts made with players previous
to December 5 should stand. As Pittsburg
did not. believe, sign Lyons until after
that date, it appears that New York is en-
titled to the player. We are not losing any
sleep over the matter, and If Pittsburg
takes serious action we shall be ready to de-
fend our rights. Tn regard to Moran, We
signed him last September and paid advance
money to him. 1 fail to see any good rea-
son why he should not come here. The
only move made in reference to Pfeffer has
been correspondence between Manager
Powers and President Hart In response
to inquiries regarding Pfeffer, Hart re eplied
that Chicago did not intend to release him
until some other good second baseman was
secured. There would, of course, be no
use in negotiating with the player until
Chicago's consent was obtained. In re-
cent communication Buck Ewing states that
he will be able to catch, if required The
probabilities are that he will play steadily
on first base.

The Admission of u Prominent Church
Member Shocks His Good Neighbors.
FRANKLIN, Jan. 27.-[Special. The
trial of H. H. Winans, charged with par
ticipating in the burglary of McCue's Ho-
tel in Rouseville, was continued to-day.
Winans was the first witness for the defense.
He admitted having served two terms in the
penitentiary for burglary and sheep stealing
in 1869 to 1875, having been sent down from
Mercer county. He denied having anything
to do with the Rouseyille robbery, but,
upon cross-examination, stated that he had
procured the burglar tools for Robinson,
after the latter had ordered them made, but
said he did so under the impression that
they were models for patentright which
Robinson claimed he had He also admit
ted carrying Robinson and the tools to the
scene of the robbery the evening before it
was perpetrated.~
Several prisoners confined in the county
Jail swore that Robinson had told them
that Winans was not concerned in the
Rouseville job, but that Robinson would
send him to the penitentiary in order to
get even with him for convicting Robinson
of arson. George Robinson swore that he
first met Winans in the penitentiary in
1879; that Winans sent for him to come to
Cherry Tree, and the two agreed upon q
number of robberies, but that GOODNESS
sprang up between them because Winans
accused him of not dividing the Rouseville
spoils equitably. This resulted in Winans
burning his own barn and having Robinson
convicted of it. The case is now in the
jury's hands. Winans has lived in Cherry
Tree for several years, where he has been
prominent, especially in the church. His
admission that he had served two terms in
the penitentiary came in the shape of a
shock to his neighbors, many of whom had
come prepared to. testify as to his good
character. They were not called on the
stand

rem MULFORD's vIRW.
He Says a Few Words About the Threat
of Pittsburg

He Says a Few Words About the Threat
of Pittsburg
Rem Mulford has the following to say
about the threat of the Pittsburg club re-
garding the Lyons case:
At least one ugly sore is visible on the
body of the giant League. Pittsburg is af::
flicted, and New York is poisoning the spot
by using finger nails and no vaseline. DR..
Nicholas S. Young has diagnosed the case at
Washington, but the soothing syrup he has
sent on by syringe has not lulled the Key
stone gentlemen into submissive slumber.
The new king of the Smoked Italians-W. E.
Temple-has placed a large green chip on his
shoulder, and he dares DR.. Young or any
other son-of-a-gun to jostle it off. Colonel
Temple is for war, and the Chilean mvss is
not to be mentioned in the same breath with
the Pittsburg rebellion.
Denny Lyons has signed with the Pitts
burgers, and he is between two fires. New
York claims him, and seems to have the
official backing up of the President of the
League. Pittsburg, with its legal and moral
rights TO the player as fully developed as
the bloom on the nose of man on his way
to the bichloride of gold retreat, VOWS that
the League will be enjoined from sandbag-
ging it out of the third basenan. The Sam
Barkley decision is cited as one that Fl is the
present case to a T. Miss Harmony appears
to be wandering around just now with her
head in a barrel, while the merry dogs of
war are engaged in barking chorus.

ANOTHER KICK MADE.
Presidents Hart and Robson Object to the
Proposed Agreement

Presidents Hart and Robson Object to the
Proposed Agreement.
CHICAGO, Jan. 27.-President Hart, of
the Chicago Baseball Club, and President
Robson. of the Cleveland club, have in
formed President Rogers, of Philadelphia,
that they do not approve the proposed na-
tional agreement and will not vote for it un-
less the document is materially changed.
Mr. Hart says President Brush, of Cincinnati,
will also oppose the adoption of the agree
ment as it now stands. The principal OBJ
lection advanced by President Hart is that
the Western League will not become q
party to the agreement.
He SAYS that should the drafting" sys-
tenn prevail except between seasons, the
plans of the Western League would be en-
tirely disarranged. Rather than abandon
these plans, which contemplate making the
clubs in the Western organization as nearly
equal in playing strength as possible, Mr..
Hart believes the Western League would
forego national agreement protection, and
that the Eastern League, which is incu-
batting, would fo' low the Western League
He declares the charges for protection to be
excessive.

Play Together This Year.
NEW YORK, Jan. q. Special. 1.-The
question of arranging baseball games be-
tween Yale, Harvard, and Princeton has
been practically settled, and the teams of
the three great colleges will meet on the
diamond next season. A short time ago an
effort was made to hold joint conference in
this city of representatives. of the three
colleges, but through some misunderstand-
ing it failed. The Harvard delegates ar
rived, but Yale and Princeton did not ap-
pear.
1t was then announced that another meet
ing would be held two weeks later. Subse-
quently it was decided not to attempt to
hold another meeting, but endeavor to ar
range matters through the medium of cor
respondence and private conference. The
result is. that Yale and Princeton have
already agreed on dates, and tomorrow rep
resentatives of Harvard and Princeton will
meet in Worcester and try to come to an
understanding. 1t is generally believed
that there will be no difficulty in fixing
dates,

-[Specidl There are no signs of abate-
ment to-day in pneumonia which has been
sweeping over this district During the
past 40 days out of every 16 persons in the
vicinity had died from the plague, all but
two of the unfortunates being over middle
age. The disease is not contagious, and no
cause can be assigned for its wonderful in
crease. There is hardly a family in this
place that mas not lost one or more of its
members, or in which one is not living i'll
unto death, and the citizens are fearful
every day that the entire section will be
wiped out at one swoop.
