Mr. ITefler Appears In Cincinnati as an Agent of the Association. Cincinnati, Oct. 21. Special Fred Ffefier, second baseman of the Chicago League team, resplendent in a plug hat, an English topcoat and a pair of yellow kids louder than a dynamite blast, was a visitor to the city yesterday. Vred dropped in on the morning train from Chicago, and dropped out again last evening. His mission here was to corral players for the new Chicago Association team. Like all the other Association agents who preceded him Ted Sullivan, Eddie Von der Abe and Billie Barnie his mission was frnitles?. In lac. Mr. Pfeffer gave it out from the ctart tnai he was not atter the Cincinnati Lcsguc players. "lam here for a Cincinnati boy, but he does not belong to the Cincinnati team," raid Mr. Pfeffcr. "I want to secure Billy Hart, the pitcher of the Sioux City team. I want him, bat I do not think I will sign liim this trip. I am only here to lay the lines." "Then vou have decided to quit Anson's team?" "Yes. that is almost certain. In fact, I lave made a partial agreement with the projectors of the new Associotion club in Chicago. It is not final, however." "But it has been claimed repeatedly that yon arc under contract to the Chicago club iornext year." "That is a mistake. I am under contract with the Chicago club, but not for next srasun. When we signed with the Chicago League team la't season, we signed con tracts not for the i-eason, but for the entire year: so I am under contract to that club until tiie 1st of next January. I will not cnuie to terms with the new club until after the expiration of that contract." "What is the trouble between you and your old employers'."" "It is all due to Anson. He does not like me, and it is best that ttc separate. He has repeatedly thrown up the Tlrotherhood trouble to me nil the season. I thought that us a dead issue, but he has persisted until I have grown tired." "Is there no chance of the breach being healed?" "I think not. I see no way now. Another thing, I can do better with the Chicago As sociation team, and I must look out for my self." Have you secured any players for your team?" "No. I am not at liberty to say who has been spoken to. We will Have a good team, some of the Chicago players and one or two of the Cincinnati players, and possibly lloger Connor, of the Xew Yorks." I'feffer did not say so, but he expects to secure Tonv Mullane, of the Beds, and Kittridge, AViluiot, Ityan and Burns, ot the Chicagos. WILL BBBUILD THE WESTEEN. That Baseball Organization Kxpected to Be AH Klght for Xext S ason. Chicago, Oct. 21. Sjiecial "Baron" Henry Hach, of the defunct Minneapolis Club, is in the city to attend the meeting of the American Association Thursday. On his return he will begin work toward the reorganizing of the Western Baseball Asso ciation. He is confident that a league can be made to succeed in the Xorthwest if properly conducted. He expects Kansas City to"break into the American Aocia tiori, but is rather glad of it, as the city on the Kaw, with its Jancy salaries, established a standard too high 'for the Western en tirely. Mr. Hach expects Milwaukee to go hack'inlo the Western. Its experience in the American Association has been a costly one and it is now unable to par its players. Mr. Hach thinks a circuit to comprise Denver, Lincoln, Sioux City, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Huluth, and some other city would be a winning one. Salaries, however, must conic down and a regular system of retrenchment be prac ticed. WON BATHES EASILY.

St. Lons, Oct. 21. ."ywin. A ray of light is dawning upon the athletic war. For the past severa" years the East and West have locked horns on the Sunday question. If the opinion of on; high up in the coun cils of the Amateur Athletic Union goes for anything, then there arc bright pros pects that all difference that that have heretofore existed between the two section: will be settled. James ! Sullivan, Secre tary of the A. A. I". and athletic editor of the" Sporting T-mr came on with the Kast ern athletes w he participated in the rcccn championship met held in this city. J. A. St. John and George Rhodes, who are the principal, spirits of the W. A. A. A., took advantage of the occasion to fraternize w t't the visitors and explain to them the exact condition of affairs in the athletic sphere out this way. That the local gentlemen succeeded iii making an impression upon the Eastern people is evidenced by a clip ping from the above journal written by Mr. Sulliian. It is as follow-: since my ictnrn from Xew York I have had e cral talks with those mtciested ill athletics, and particularly the question of theW. A. .V -V vs. the Central Association. The general opinion in and around Xew lorkCitvis that Sunday games should bo nlowed in sncli pait of the country as cus tom permits Tlio V,'. A. A. A. made a mis take at the starr. Thev should have joined the Central Association, and then, it the de cision of that body in relation to Sunday Karnes did not suit them they conld have appealed to the Board of Governors of the A.

'A-.s4 THE PITTSBURG- A SEW PACING KING. Direct Defeats the Famous Hal Pointer in Straight Heats. A MILE EASILY PACED IN 2:09 1-4. ThonKands of Dollars Lost on the Downfall of the Great Tennessee Champion. SOME NEW RECORDS ESTABLISHED Xasiivh.t.k, Tejtx., Oct. 21. Thousands of broken Tennessee hearts and thousands of empty pocketbooks were carried away from Cumberland Park this evening. Hal Pointer, their pride, the horse "that carried all their money, had suffered defeat in three straight heats, the matchless Cali fornia pacer, Direct, showing him his heels with comparative ease. The time of the second heat wns-the best ever made in a race in harness, lowering Pointer's record half a second. Neither of the flying steeds broke in either heat and moved like clock work all the way around. Hal Pointer had the pole in the first heat and held it until the quarter pole was reached, when Direct, who nad been on almost even terms with him from tho start, made a magnificent spurt and secured the inside of the track. After that it was easy sailing, and Kd Geers pulled up Pointer before reaching the wire. BRAT THE RECORD. The secoud heat saw Direct at the pole and he held it throughout. The best Pointer could do was to stay abreast of him nntil reaching the half-mile post, where Direct gradually drew away, the Tennesseean's fine burst of speed in the stretch being of no avail. It was believed that the champion could have gone in 2:08 had Pointer pressed him more closely, he winning easily in 2:09', George Starr driving him magnifi cently. The last heat was a repetition of the others, Direct leading nearly all the way. The time by quarters was: Firt heat fay.. 1:05, V38. 2:10. Second heat 32',L 1:M'A, 1:3'. 2.09i. Third heat S2,, 1:05, l:a9i, 2:11. Hal Pointer was a big favorite in the pools oil the first heat, selling S100 against i-S0 for Direct. Even money and C to o was obtainable against Direct in the books. The betting in the second heat was not material ly changed from the first, but the third found Direct selling at 510 against S5 for Pointer. The grandstand, lawn, clubhouse, betting ring and every available space was filled with erowdinir, jostling humanity, the big match race absorbing nearly all the in terest in the day's sport.

Arion Goes a Mile in 2:14J, Causing a Sen sation Among Horsemen. Stockton. Cat.., Oct. 21. Two more world records were broken on the Stockton track to-day. A Palo Alto yearling (Bell Bird) driven by Marvin went against her record of 2:27 J and went the mile in 2:2(jJ. Her quarters were 27V, 1:1?, 1:51, 2:2Gl The filly did not make a skip in the mile. Marvin then drove Arion, by Klectionecr, against his record of 2:l.)j and made the mile without a skip, finishing strong in 2:14V,. The qnarters werc 1:07, 1:41', At the conclusion of Arion's trial the timers all agreed as to the time, and veteran horsemen said the record would never be beaten. Orrin Ilickok said ht never saw such a game finish. He added: "This is the horse that will make two minutes' work if nnv horse ever does." Palo Alto came out lame, but warmed up well and went against his record of 2:2. lie made the mile in 2:11J, thus lowering his record. His quarters were 33J, 1:0.: 1 :&), 2:11J.4. Some of the watches made it 2:11,' and two of the timers were only a shade over 2:11, so it was called 2:11J. Abonttho New Record. The absorbing topic of conversation amonglocal horsemen yesterday was the new record established by Sunol, 2r08' That everybody thought the performance extraordinary goes without saying, but there is a great diversity of opinion regard ing whether or not it is"fair to compare the record with that of Maud S. The latter made her mark on a regulation track, which experts claim is much slower than a kite shaped track. This being so many people argue that the record of Maud S has a right to'remain. But others argne that Sunol has tiottedamile in 2:03 and that is all that ixrequiied. Cleveland Won. NEWCASTLE, Oct. 21.

The Owner or Sanol Talks About the New Trotting Record He Thinks the Record of Mnnd S. Is Better Than the New One. Snnol "Will Try Again. New York, Oct. 21. Special' Mr. Robert Bonner, owner of Sanol, who now holds the trotting record, was considerably surprised at the performance of his treas ured mare. Eefcrring to her achievement to-day he said: "I regard Sunol the most wonderful ani mal ever foaled. I hesitate to compare her with Maud S., as she made her record over the regulation track, and, as all horsemen know, the kite-shaped track over which Sunol trotted yesterday is a trifle faster than the regulation one. Still, it is a glorious record. The best previous time over the same kind of track is 2:09) made by Allerton. To show yon how much su perior I regard Sunol to Maud S., I will say that I paid 540,000 for Maud S., and $11,000 for Sunol. I do not look upon this new and fine record of Sunol's as quite as good as that of Maud S. over the regula tion track. ''There has been some misconception on the part of the newspapers in regard to the tracks at Stockton. The impression seems to be general that there is only one track there, when there are two. The kite shaped one is about two months old. The other is a regulation track. Sunol will trot over this track later. I think she probably will not excell Maud S's. marvel ous speed. These two horses I regard as nearly evenly matched. Senator Stanford, from whom I purchased Snnol on November 2, 188!), has written to me that the mare Sunol will trot in 2:06. He knows more about her capabilities than I do, and he may be right. I believe her performance of 2:10 as a three-year-old is greater than this, her record as a five-year-old, and I thjnk every horseman will agree with me in this opinion. Tlie three greatest trotters in the world are, in my opinion, Maud S., Sunol, and Xancy Hanks. I do not expect to live to 6ee any horse trot a mile on a regulation track in 2:0(1, nor do I ever ex pect to see another three-year-old equal Sunol's time of 2:10)4. Some enthusiasts hope that the record may be eventually brought down to 2:00, or very close to that figure. I think 2:05 or 2:00 on the regula tion track probably will be the limit. We have not had enough of experience with the kite-shaped track to tell what may be accomplished on it. There are only a few of that kind of tracks in the country. Charles Marvin, Governor Stanford's trainer and superintendent of his ranche, has written to me that the kite-shaped track, being new, is somewhat slow. He says that atter the fall rains, in a week or so, the track will be packed and solid, and that Sunol will reduce, perhaps by the frac tion of a second, her present magnificent time. "Maud S. is now breeding, but I believe that when she is in perfect condition and in good training she can trot in about 2:07. I believe, also, that Sunol can equal Maud S. on the regulation track. Nancy Hanks has trotted over a private track, which is fast, the soil being elastic, in 2:09. "I wouldn't have bought Sunol if I had not thought her the finest piece of horse flesh in the world. After Senator Stanford accepted my offer for her I let her remain a year with him in California." ON INDEPENDENCE TRACK. Nothing Sensational Done, but Allerton Will Mako an EfTort To;Day. Independence, Oct. 21. A cold north wind made unfavorable weather for record breaking to-day.

In regard to'Fitzsim mons' challenge, young Mitchell said he would be willing on his return to meet the latter in a ten-round go. William O'Connor, the Canadian oars man, left here for the East to-night to supervise the building of some new racing boats.

His favor must in some measuro be withdrawn from us, if we, as a nation, dishonor the holy day. We appeal to the Directors of the Columbian Exposi tion to regard tho laws of that tiod who is the master of all nations to reverence the name or that Savior who glorified the first day of tho week by his resurrection, and to yield to the conscientious convictions of the many millions of Christians in our land, to shut the gates and bear no burden on the Sabbath day. May that Lord's day which was hallowed nmone tho snows and storms of the Now England coast nearly three centuries ago be still hallowed in the great city on tho lakes.
