tucked it under his arm and dashed forty
yards 10 the goal line.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 28.-With WIG
Bill" Donovan and Eddie Plank as the
opposing pitchers the Detroit Tigers yes
terday took the lead in the sensational
American League pennant race by defeat
ing the Athletics by 8 runs to 4. Donovan
was touched for thirteen hits and gave
four bases on balls. But he WAS more
effective than Plank in tight places and
that is why the Tigers won.
Twice the home team had the bases full,
but Donovan was equal to the occasion
and they failed to score. The Athletics
had twelve men left on bases to the Tigers
six. An error by Jimmy Collins helped
the visitors to score three runs in the
seventh inning.
In spite of the raw weather fully $4,000
fam saw the game. The grand stand
entrances were closed before the game
began and the crowd overlooked on the
field. It was the most enthusiastic crowd
that has attended any game in the city
this season. At times the racket from
horns, whistles, bells and human cheers
was almost deafening.
The Tigers scored their first run In the
fifth inning. O'Leary doubled to centre.
Donovan struck out. Jones beat out an
infield hit and O'Leary took third and
scored on Schaefer's force of Jones at
second. Sohaefer stole second and scored
on Crawfofd's double to right. Cobb
ended the inning by flying to Nichols.
Three runs were added to the visitors
score in the seventh. O'Leary fouled out,
Donovan singled to left and Jones was
safe on a wild throw Of Collins, both men
advancing a base. Sehaefer then scored
both men with n two-base hit into the
crowd. 5ehaefer stole third and scored
on Crawford's single to centre. Cobb and
Rossman were easy outs.
Oldring's double and Powers single in
the fifth inning gave the Athletics their
first run. The hopes of the home crowd
were raised in the seventh when Philadel-
phia came within one run of tielng the
score. Plank doubled into the crowd.
Hartsel singled and Nichols got a base on
balls. With the bases full and no one out
the crowd called on Seybold for a long
hit. Socks responded with a hot grounder
(which Coughlin fumbled end Plank scored.
Captain Davis singled, sending home Hart
sci. Murphy hit into a double play on
which Nichols scored the third and last
run. Collins was an easy out. The score:

The first event OF the card was the 2:25
trot. in which It was necessary to run five
heats before Harry Lake, driven by its
owner, p. j. Herman, managed to win out.
The race was the most exciting yesterday
afternoon, for 1t was neck and neck all
around the track between Harry Lake aud
Judge Vincent until about twenty-five yards
from the finish, when Judge Vincent broke,
and Herman, by skilful driving, drove bis
horse In a whipping finish under the wire

which was not finished Thursday nfter-
noon, was captured by Precoisa IN straight
heats In rather easy style. Jack Cate,
who finished second in the race, was fully

Feb. 27.-(Special. )-- With the throat cut from ear to ear and eight stabs In the right "side, all made evidently with a stiletto. the dead body of Andrie Pilato, an Italian. was found this morning near the coke oven plant at Pratt City by R. II. Whatley, car agent for the Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad Company
 There were no evidences of robbery. The victim was well dressed, giving signs of being of some wealth. The belief was expressed that the killing Is but a chapter of a vendetta and in- asmuch as Pilato had come from Italy but two or three weeks, 1t is suspected that the vendetta has been on for some time and was started in the old coun- try.

FISH MAKES ABATEMENT.
Declares That Hartman Also Borrowed
 Money from Road.

New York, Feb 27.--Stuyvesant Fish was asked by the Associated Press what answer, if any he cared to make to the accusations which E. II. Harri- man preferred yesterday before the Interstate Commerce Commission,
 T have little to say" he replied. q shall not be drawn into a wrangle with that gentleman. He and I sustained close relations for many years and were jointly interested in many large affairs.
 All of those transactions, as do all transactions in which I have ever en- gagged. will bear the closest scrutiny. It was at my instance that Mir. Harri- man was made director of the Illi- nois Central Company and we got along quite we'll until he became an- bilious to make the Illinois Central a part of the Union Pacific system I did not believe this would be in the interests of the stockholders of the H. linois Central for whom l held a trust and then and there Mir, Hartman and l parted company.
 "He is quite right in saying that I borrowed funds from the Illinois Gen. tral, but he should have added that the loan was made at time when we were most anxious to put out some of the surplus; that I hunted from bank to bank to loan our money; that this par ticular loan was made on collateral which was unquestionably ample and marketable; that several of the other directors borrowed from the company in the same way and finally that MrN Hartman himself while a director. had borrowed money from the company fin precisely the same manner frequently and in sums aggrcgating several mil lions of dollars.
 "As a matter of business I did not then regard it as improper, nor do I now. When in the fall of 1903 I de- sired to repay the debt l proposed to negotiate a new loan from Kuhn, Loeb and Company Mir. Hartman asked me not to do so and offered to lend ma the sum, and I accepted his offer made voluntarily

The deposit was never in danger. I was trustee of the trust company, but never an officer
