PITlSBURI5
Pirates Will Play the Lo-
cal Team Here Oc-
tober Is.

L. o. Smith, manager of the local
baseball team. signed a contract with
wv. P. Locke, business manager Of
the Pittsburg National League base
ball club, Friday night guaranteeing
that the regular Pittsburg team will
play the local team Tuesday after
noon, October 10, at $3.50 o'clock.
Manager Smith had been in commune
cation with Mr.. Locke for several
days but it was not until last night
that the Pittsburg man would guar
antee to bring his regular team here
for a game.
The baseball fans will get treat
of a lifetime in seeing the team that
finished second in the National league
playing on the home grounds. Many
local people are not able to go to the
larger cities and see the big league
teams play and this will give them a
chance to see some of the greatest
baseball players in the world.
Among the players that will appear
here will be Hans Wagner, the great
est shortstep in baseball, and one Of
the greatest hitters in the National
league; George Gibson, one of the
best catehers OF the National league,
and the world famous Marty o'Toole.
1t has not been efcided who will
pitch the game aga Ilst the locals but
II it is oiToole's turn he will work
here.
Manager Fred Clark will have
charge of the team and this fact alone
guarantees that the Pittsburg team
will play a good game.

a pool room, early the same morn
'ing on West Pike near Sycamore
street. was Identified shortly after
ward al st. afary's hospital by the
victim ab being one of his as9lil-
ants. Meadows was jailed to await
further developments in the case.
Scott was shot in the back through
his spine and intestines and the
bullet same out at the lower part OF
the abdomen Just above thigh.
Attending physicians say he is a
|precarions condition.
The shooting occurred about
12:S0 o'clock as Scott was on his
way home from his pool room in the
pll fire department building on
Traders alley. The white man and
d negro acosted him and the former
asked him to throw up his hands.
Thinking the act joke. Scott
brushed the fellow aside and told
him to step out OF the road and let
hIm 90 home.
Then, according to the victim,
The white man drew revolver from
his pocket, pointed 1t at Scott and
again commanded him to throw up
hls hands. Relieving then that the
attempted hold up was real, Scott
rushed at the white man, grabbed
lhim by the arms and turned the
weapon aside. AT that instant the
colored fellow approached Scott
from behind and when Scott turned
his head to protect himself from
that quarter, the white fellow struck
him over the head with the butt OF
the revolver. Scott reeled around
and started to run away. After
turning and proceeding step or
two, the white man fred his re-
volver at Scott and the latter fell.
Some one then threw up a win
dow of house nearby and yelled;
This frightened the assailants and
they fed in the darkness. The oc-
|cupant of the house, seeing that
Scott had been wounded, telephened
to police headquarters, officers soon
arrived on the scene and caused the
injured man to be taken to the hos
pital.
Robbery is believed to have been
the motive OF the attack, as Scott
had roll of bills and some specie
ia his pockets, part of which he had
shortly before taken from the cash
register in the pool room. 1t is be-
lieyed the highwaymen saw him

They did not take any of the money
as they were frightened away by

to Clarksburg a few weeks ,aEn
from Gassaway and obtained en-
ployment on street work here as a

he is delighted with the reception, he
is receiving all along the line. We
get reports from every meeting, and
the only difference between them rs
that the last meeting is always a
substantial improvement on the one
preceding.
DIR. Hatfeld's opponent is in the
same section and reports on his
meetings are certainly pleasing to
us, however disoouraging they must
be TO the democrats. His meetings
have heen small, spiritless and sew
,eral times called of on account OF
the absence of an audience. 1t is
my opinion that SO far as HasAesd

is merely a matter OF figuring up the
size of the pluralities. Our reports
are that the people are profoundly
interested in all our meetings and
that they seem anxious to have the
