MURDERER HANS SCHMIDT
 CREATES SCENE IN COURT

New York, Oct. 9--With an out. break of violence, which, if he Is only shamming insanity, was truly marvellous piece of acting, Hans Schmidt, confessed murderer of An na Aumuller, nearly caused a panic Friday among the spectators at the inquest over the fragments of his victims body.
 A pitiable object, with weeks growth of beard, dirty, wrinkled clothing, staring eyes and strained expression, Schmidt was sitting hud- dled in his chair when Corner Fein- berg announced that Anna Aumul- ler's mangled corpse would be bur jed in the potter's field unless some one furnished funds to lay it in con- secrated ground.
 At these words Schmidt leaped to his feet with starling suddenness. His eyes protruded and he shook from head to foot, apparently with rage.
 Jerking something from his pock- ct, he wrapped it with furious haste in his rosary and hurled it at the coroner. Miss him, the object struck a reporter in the face.
 Schmidt gave terrific shriek as it did so. The spectators thinking Schmidt was about to run amuck among them, jumped up and began rushing for the door. Half doz- en policemen seized Schmidt, forced him back into his chair and held him, muttering incoherently, while the rosary was unwrapped and found to contain a $2 bill, evidently in- tended by the murderer as a con- tribution toward his victims funeral.

Team Loses Many Main
stays-Much New
Material

Lexington, Va, March 15.-.tSpecial.)- y
Two weeks of active training has served
to give Coach Orth an idea uf the ma
terial he has on hand from which to de-
velop a team which will represent Wash
ington and Lee on the diamond for the
1913 season.
There are only four veterans, around
whom a nine can be built, but there are
five men who played on the second team
in 1912, and it is from these, together
with the new men, that the coach and
captain expect to develop. machine that
will be as powerful as those which have
worn the White and Blue in past years.
Moran and Thompkins, who were tie
mainstay of the pitching STAFF last year,
will not be able TO twirl and therefore
Orth has been giving considerable time
to the training of the candidates for
pitching honors. Brewer seems to have
the first call.
The catching department seems to be
well cared for. Captain Donahue is rec
ognized as one of the best college catch
ers In the country. Stewart caught In
many games last year and can always be
counted on to fill any breach behind tho
bat. Rothrock and Payne are also catch
ers of experience.
The only veteran in the infield is Pee
pies, first baseman, whose fielding aver
age in 1912 was 997. Barker, Burk. Was-
goner Lancaster and Thornton are all
working out for positions on the infield,
and If Donahue plays at shorstop there
will be only two positions to fill.
Harrison. ,CoIville and Motley are the
likely new men who are trying for the
outfeld. Turbyfill, who has played on
the varsity for two years, Will make his
place and Stewart may be worked IN TIL:
gardens when he is not catching.
+ The first game will be on March 20.
when Holy Cross is met in Lexington.
The next day Washington and Lee will
play Yale in Norfolk and then the team
will return to Lexington FOR long series
of games. The season will be brought TO
close with the annual southern trip.

ANDERSON AND
K.O. BROWN DRAW

Los Angeles, March 15.-In one of the
fiercest lightweight fights ever seen in
the Vernon arena. Bud Anderson of Van
couver and "Knockout' Brown of New
York, battled to a draw this afternoon.
Both boys took great punishment.
In the eleventh and twelfth rounds An
derson had Brown almost out, but in the
twentieth the New Yorker had his OPP
ponent in the same condition, the bell
saving Anderson from a possible knock
out.
While Brown was the aggressor
throughout, it was only his remarkable
recuperative powers and wonderful game
ness that won him draw in the last
minute of the battle. Anderson was by
far the cleverer boxer and fought eau
tiously seldom forcing. Brown was
knocked down twice In the eleventh round,
once taking the count of nine.
1t looked all Anderson when the gong
sounded for the final round. but Brown
resumed the aggressive and had little Diff
ficulty in reaching Anderson's face and
body. The decision was popular.

DID BOSTON RED SOX WIN
CHAMPIONSHIP ON A FLUKE?


win another championship, but / do say
that the American league deplcters who
leave them out of the calculation are
making a mistake.
One phase of the national pastime this
year that is sure to strike responsive
chord with the public is the starting Of
the games at an earlier hour than here
tofore. Every club in both leagues has
fallen, in with the demand for an early
start Charley Murphy of the Cubs,
who, though he is roundly panned for
everything he does. is a real live wire in
baseball. promptly advanced the hour
from 3 to 2 o'clock when the demand for
early games was first heard. This, how
ever, met with considerable opposition,
and he compromised the matter by fixing
the starting time at 2:30 o'clock. 1t is
senseless to start play late in the after
noon and finish at an hour that to say
the least is inconvenient to the wives and
families of the men who attend regularly
In some cities this has been done for
the sake of making few extra pennies
that nigh. come from late arrivals. But
the policy Was a penny wise and pound
foolish one for there are many persona
who have stayed away simply because
they could not conveniently remain at the
grounds until & O'clock or later. The clua
owners of both leagues are to be con.
graduated for their foresight and wisdom.
