NEW BASEBALL LEAGUE
Al. c. Bucksnberger Will Manage
the Pittsburg Team.
GLASSCOCK WILL BE CAPTAIN
The Grounds Have Been Secured,
and All the Plans Have Been
Well Laid-A Lot Of the Players
in the Present Pittsburg Club
Will Join the New One.
Spees1Eto tbs RsJisse-.


PITTsBURG. PA. September 20.-The
premature publication of the plans OF
the National Base Ball Association, an
organization which will oppose the Ma
tional League in several places next
year, has not bothered the Pittsburg
people vino are placing club here.
Their plans are already too well laid.
Already the grounds have been
secured. The franchise arrived
last Saturday. al. C. Buckenbergei, f,
ex-manager of the Plttsburg
National League team, is to be man
ager, and Jack Glasscock, of Wheeling,
is said to be 1amed as captain OF the
new Association club in this city. The
National Association will be made up
of the following cities: Pittsburg, Buff
falo. Detroit and Chicago in the West,
Providence, New York. Brooklyn and
Philadelphia In the East. Twenty five
cent ball will be given, and it is claimed
that the new Association has the choice
of all the 10 players in the National
League, who have become uneasy
at the threats being made by the
League 10 reduce salaries next season.
1t is claimed that Beckley, Bierbauer,
Smith, Stencil and Meniee, OF the
Pittsburg National League team will
Join the new club. No players have
signed as yet owing to their contracts
not having expired. w. c. Temple has
sent out from Pittsburg an alarming
tale in effect that all players giving ear
to the new association will be black
listed. No player can be black-listed
for other than some crooked work.
1t is not the intention TO fight the
National League, but TO arrange the
schedule of games so as not TO conflict
with the latter.

GEORGE SCHMOUS HANGED.
Ho Pays the p snaIty for His Awful Crime
second Hanging in PittsOurg This
Month.

second Hanging in Pittsourg This
Month.
PITTsBURG, PA, September 90.
George SchmouS was hanged in the AL
legheny county Jail at 10:45 a. IN. for
the murder OF his wife and two children.
Sixteen minutes after the drop fell life
was pronounced extinct. Death re-
suited from strangulatiOn.
The crime for which George Schmous
suffered the death penalty was one Of
the most atrocious in the annals Of the
county. Schmous, with his wife and
four children, resided on South Eleventh h
street. The husband and wife quarreled
frequently. During the night OF July
27th, 1894, the house was discovered
on fire, an1 after eXtinguiShing the
flames the tiremen found Mrs. Schmous
and two little daughters upon the bed
in an upstairs room with their skulls
crushed and the walls bespattered with
blood. The baby, blood stained, but
unharmed, lay in the cradle, and the
nine-year-eld boy crouched in terror
down stairs. ScbmouS acted distracted
ly, claiming he knew nothing Of the aw-
full deed, and from the time
of his arrest strenuously de-
MED any knowledge of the
crime. His trial before Judge Slagle
last September resulted in first degree
murder, wholly upon circumstantial
evidence. Attorney Gosser, for the de-
fense, applied for new trial and arrest
OF judgment on the plea of insanity,
holding that Schmous dearly loved his
little daughters, and that the So in-
surauce on their lives could not pos
sibly have been determining influence
in their murder. The Supreme Court
was also valnly appealed 10.
Schmous was an ordinary laborer,
born in Bavaria thirty-eight years ago,
and be resided in this country about
eleven years Several Catholic priests
and nuns attended his spiritual wants
during his last days, and under their
ministrations he became resigned TO his
fate without, however, having made
any open confession. His execution
was the second in Allegheny county
this month. George Ducovicbs, who
was 10 have been hanged with him, has
been temporarily reprieved, pending in
YeStigatlon as to his sanity.

THE RECORD ONCE MORE BROKEN.
Directly Clips One and Quarter Seconds
OF the Two-Y.ar-Old Record.

OH the Two sAr-Oiu hecOTu.
GALEsBURG, Ills, September 90
But one record was broken to-day, and
that was by Monroe Sallsbury's wonder
full two-yearold PAGER, Directly, who
sent the two-year-old record down from
200 to 2:07%, and at the same time
reduced his own record "a sec
onds. This performance was wit
messed by twenty thousand people and
created the most intense enthusiasm
1t was the second special event Of the
afternoon, following Robert j. g failure
to reduce his record. The conditions
were extremely favorable, the track
being very fast and weather superb.
Directly got away on the first
score, Andy Mcdowell driving him. The
colt was moving with great speed and
evenly and needed no other urging than
an occasional word from Mcdowell. He
had. the pole and just behind him was a
thoroughbred running mate. The gait
proved remarkable, showing steady
Improvement. The first quarter was
gone in 80; the half 10 1;0414; the
three-o uarters in 1864 and
the mile in 2:073I. The gait was per-
feet from start to finish, and the result
set the crowd wild with enthusiasm.
The reduction OF IL seconds az one
clip was deemed an event worthy OF
cheers. When Williams made the an
nouncemeut there were loud cries for
Mcdowell and the famous driver was
obliged 10 20 up into the grand stand
and acknowledge the ovation. In an
nouncing him, Williams,said: 81 intro
duce to you Andy Mcdowell, who drove
Alix yesterday in 2:O3% and has just
driven Directly in 2:O7%, beating two
records in as many days, a feat no
driver on earth has heretofore accom-
plished."
To horsemen the remarkable feat
about the perfect performance was the
increase Of sHeed and the strong show
ing made in the last quarter. By quar-
ters the rating is: :32, 1921, :3l}[ and
:31jE.
Itwa $40 o'clock when Robert j..
was sent off on a second scoring. In a
warming heat he had made the circuit
in 2:l1 and there was general feeling
that he would pace great mile, even
if he failed to beat his own record. Ed.
Geer was the driver. On the judges
stand was G. j. Hamolin, the
owner of Robert J., and near by
him was John II. Lesh, OF Goshen. Ind,
the owner of Online, the fast four-year-
old PAGER. Chandler drove the running
mate. Robert j. made the first quarter
In 80 and expectation was high. The
half was made in 1:0OH. but in the
third quarter the great stallion slowed
up, making the pole In 1914. The
mae was made 10 2:024- BY quarters
the time was 30, 3011, BIZ and 81.
DrivcrsIeers assigned two reasons for
the failure Of the PAGER, namely:
The track was trife too hard for
Robert J.'s feet and that be was fear
full of the crowd that filed the entire
track save few feet next the pole.
Online was next sent TO beat his re-
cord OF 2:071l. He went a strong.
steady mile. equalizing his mile without
apparent effort. Chandler drove the
PAGER and Geers the running mate.
The quarters were made In :3l1I; 80;
J Biz and :32H, OF 2:o7A for thea mile.

The glass did more than was expected.
The concentrated rays did not
