Cincinnati. Oct. 6.-The three d.
rectors of the National league here
this afternoon decided that the pro-
tested New York-Chicago game is a
tie and gave permission to have it
played off if requested by the New
York club.
The completion of the submission
of testimony was concluded last night
and the board of directors, after con-
sidering all the evidence in executive
session for one and a half hours. an
nounced that the decision would be
made today. The three directors who
were to act on the case were Messrs.
Hermann of CINCINNATI Ebbetts of
Brooklyn and Dovey of Boston, the
other members of the board being dis
qualified because of their interest in
the outcome of the contest which
might affect the standing of their re-
spective clubs. Mr.. John T. Brush
when again asked to make a statement
in reply to the story that he would
bring a civil suit in case the National
league directors decided against his
team said:

believed to have denounced this con-
fession as having been obtained by
threats and she is believed to have re-
viewed the actions of herself her hus-
band and Annis, leading up to the
killing of Annis. The affidavit, how

New York Holds Her Breath.
New York, Oct 6-Although the
lead of the Chicago National league
team was slightly weakened by New
York's victory over Boston yesterday,
the situation remains practically un-
changed. AS on yesterday it was pure
ly a question of New York playing
practically faultless baseball in her
remaining games even to tie Chicago
for the leading position in the National
league race. In that event a play
off" on neutral grounds would be
necessary to settle the championship.
of course there is a possibility that
the decision of the National league
directors in the case of the New York
Chicago game now under dispute may
upset some of the present calculations
as all percentages thus far have been
figured on the basis that the game was
a tie.
Neither Chicago nor Pittsburg have
any more games to play this season IN
the regular National league schedule.
New York, however, will meet Boston
today and again tomorrow on the Polo
grounds in this city. The standing Of
the National league leaders before the
beginning of the play today was: Chi
