TO ABOLISH THE INTERNATIONAL
MARRIAGE.

H
Assemblyman Keller. OF New York
State. has thought over International
marriages and resolved that they ara
not good things. Therefore he has
gone to work to stop them or at any
rate to assuage their OWLS. He has
brought forward bill providing that
any New York girl who marries a.
foreigner shall pay tax to the State
amounting to one-fifth OF per dowry.
Tho proposal cuts several ways. IT
compels lady to make the purchase
OF title, with the nat price, a matter
Of public record. It produces revenue
for the State. 1t reduces the attractive
ness OF tho American heiress by lust
20 per cent. In oil OF these things
Assemblyman Kellcr's idea Is good.
But the trouble is that 1t Is not prac-
teal. The prudent and Willy European
could drive "a touring car through 1t.
lie would never, for instance have his
bride come to him with any obvious
and visible "dowry" in her little hands
Not he. lie would merely have gen
tleman's agreement with her fathe,
| beforehand. Then he would so ahead
and marry thu daughter for love. He
would not get one penny from her

RUTGERS ELEVEN MEETS
NAVY TEAM TODAY

ANNAPOLIS, Oct. S.-The lineup of
the Naval Academy team for the open
Ing game which will take place today
with Rutgers was officially given out
last night and furnishes the first in
timatfon Of what will constitute the
regular team, at least at this stage of
the season. The names Of eight of the
veterans of last years regular eleven
appear In the list, another has been in
two West Point games and the others
have represented the Academy In many
important games. The team is there
fore composed OF seasoned players.
The game will start with the Navy
players arranged as follows: Left end,
Robertson; left tackle, Captain North
croft; left guard, Meyer; centre. Sling
huff; right guard, Wright; right tackle,
Leighton; right end, R~eifsnider; quar-
terback, Lange; left halfback, Jones;
right halfback, Clay; fullback, Rich
ardson.

win. The championship may hinge on
the outcome of that game. Brown and
Willis will probably be the opposing
pitchers.
And that brings Chicago into consid-
GRAFTON. The Cubs shut out Cincinnati
yesterday, and are only two points
behind the leaders. If they win again
today, and then beat Pittsburg tomor-
row. which would Incidentally put the
Pirates out of it. they would tie New
York for first place, if there's that
word AGAIN. New York loses one OF
their remaining four games.
In that eyent-gee, this doping it out
makes a fellow dizzy--the Cubs and
the Giants would play an extra game
at the Polo Grounds next Thursday to
determine whether the pennant should
go to tho Windy City or in little, old
New York Say, they'd have to move
the Harlem River back to make room
Tor the crowd, If 1t came to an ex-
ira game In New York.
Meanwhile McGraw's men have a
task before them. The Giants wind
up their series in Philly today.
Mathewson will probably be called
upon to do tho heaving, while Manager
Murray Is expected to trot out Cova-
lesh. the gent who trimmed the Giants
twice during the past week. More
trouble for somebody.
Then It's back to the Polo Grounds
for the Giants. Three games with Bos-
ton avail them there. 1t stands to
reason that such gentlemen as Bower
man, Dahlen, Ferguson, Browne and
Hannifan, now with Boston, are not on
affectionate tepns with McGraw, the
man who Canned" them, and they
will overlook no chances to trip up tbs
Giants. Sizing up the situation, New
York can scarcely be relied upon to
escape at least one more defeat.
The Giants may thank their lucky
stars for getting away with yester-
days game in Slumbertown. Such an
exhibition as the Phillies put up in
the first Inning has not been equaled
this season. They damned six bases
on balls and two errors into that one
inning, and the Giants, mixing In only
two hits, reaped seven runs. After
that Moren, a former Jersey City
pitcher, held McGraw's men runless in
the following eight innings. Things
may not come as easy today.
While the National League race IS
occupying the front row, centre, in the
public interest, let's not overlook that
scramble in the American League. The
four leading teams clashed yesterday.
Detroit held it's lead by ~disposing of
st. Louis, winning out 7 to 8 in a ninth
inning rally, while Cleveland defeated
Chicago, Pitcher Joss shutting out the
White Sox without a hit or run. That
defeat has practically put Comiskey's
tribe out of the running. The issue
now rests between Detroit and Cleve-
land. huff said.

protest against the decision of the UNI
pires, says that to score Mccormick
run after Bridwell had hit safely,
Merkle. who vas on first base, should
have touched second base. He claims
there was no evidence to show Merkle
did this, and hat Umpire O'Day claims
that Merkle did not touch second base
and was forced out. Pulliam declared
that the whole dispute down to
a question of whether the umpires shall
be upheld or not.
In concluding his statement, Pulliam
said:
Much as I deplore the unfortunate
ending Of a brilliantly played game,
a. well as the subsequent controversy,
/ have no alternative than to be guided
by the law. L believe in craftsmanship,
and will go as far as anyone to achieve
its ends, but would it be good sports
manship on my part as president of the
league to repudiate my umpires simply
to condone the undisputed blunder of a
player?"

That's the Report, but New York
Club Promptly Turns Down
the Offer.

According to a w~ell-founded report
the Chicago National League Club yes
terday offered $4,000 for Christy
Mathewson, the great pitcher of the
Giants. Such an amount has never be-
fore been set on a ball player, but John
7. Brush, owner Of the the New York
Nationals, turned 1t down fatty. The
New York club will clear about $200, 900
profit this season. Without Mathewson
the Giants would not a been in the
running, and the profits, consequently,
would be less than half that amount.
When through an intermediary Muir
ply and Frank Chance, his manager,
set a price of $780, 900 on Mathewson the
New York management sent back word
that even this unprecedented price was
not half enough to obtain the transfer
of Mathewson. To make sure that
The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1908-10-03
WOULD GIVE
$4,000 FOR MATHEWSON

their message was thoroughly UNDER
stood they added that Mathewson was
not for sale at any price.
Murphy's offer Of $50, 900 which was
made in good faith and with no inten-
ton that 1t should become public was
communicated to Brush and McGraw
through a business man in New York
who is Interested in thoroughbred and
other horses and who has the confidence
OF both the New York and the Chicago
National League baseball manage
ments.
In making the offer for Mathewson
Murphy and Chance explained that the
Chicago team which has been q unit
for so long, must eventually disin-
tegrate, and that the addition of Ma
thewson to the Chicago roster would
be Of the highest Importance to them.
Brush and McGraw told the go-between
that 1t would be useless to open nego-
tiations for the sale of Mathewson even
at a price five times greater than that
once paid for $4,000 Kelly"
The tentative offer of $50, 900 was so
badly frostbitten by the New York
management hat the intermediary re-
ported back to Murphy and Chance
that there was not a chance in the
world for Chicago to get M~athewson.

Queer that a team, holding the lead,
and winning It's game, should be ell
bowed out Of first place, as was New
York's fate yesterday. 1t IL possible
only in a race as close as the present
one. Pittsburg winning q double
header to New York's single victory
brought about the change.
At the same time those whose 10y
atty cans toward the Giants have no
additional cause to worry over this
latest shift. New York has four more
games to play to Pittsburg's two. All
the Giants have to do is to stand their
ground. Unless they encounter another
defeat, they are sure Of finishing first,
even If the Pirates win their remain
ing two games.
Then, too, the Buccaneers have not
yet passed out of the danger zone. They
have had easy sailing during the pres
ent series. meeting the tail-end st. Louis
team. But tomorrow, in their final
game. they will stack up against Chi
