MOON aRILLs REPUBLIoANs
Tennessee Congressman Says People
Are Robbed Of $4,000. 900.

Are Robbed Of @7OsOOOsOOO.
WASHINGTON. d. C.. March A.
The startling charges that the rail-
roads of the country carrying mails
had robbed the people out of $780,
600, 900 was made in the house to-
day by Mr.. Lloyd of Missouri. He
declared that the new system of
weighing mail was an admission OF
the postmaster general that the
Weighing department had been
fraudulent for years. He called for
an investigation OF the postofIice de-
partment and Mr.. Wagner Of Penn
sylvania, chairman OF the committee
to consider the expenses Of that de-
partment, promised that an inquiry
would be conducted.
Others who spoke we're Messrs.
Moon of Tennessee, Giebel Of Ohio,
Briggs of Georgia, Murdoch of Kan
sas and Smith of California.
In a general discussion of the tar
in and financial question Mr.. Moon
of Tennessee upbraided the republic
cans for failure to enact legislation
which he said the people were de-
handing. The republican party, he
declared, for more than 40 years has
fostered false theories.
You" he said, addressing the re-
publican side, "plundered the treas
ury when you saw fit; you over
turned the rights of the states, and
sat with your hands on the necks Of
the common citizen; you appeal to
none but the power of wealth and
monopoly, and yet you have success
fully run the gamut."
The republicans, he said, had
fooled the people, mot only twice,
but all the time" II, he continued,
he were compelled to designate the
leading character of the republican
party, he would say 1T is the most
sublime, the most stupendous fakir
in all the history of the world"

BROwNs.NAPs TIE.
Play Eleven Innings Until Darkness
Falls.

st. Louis, Oct. 5.-Despite some ter
rife batting yesterday afternoon in
the game wit hthe Browns, Cleveland
was able only to get a tie, darkness
stopping the contest at the close of
the eleventh inning with the score
3 to 8. DUSTY" Rhoades was the
villain Of the snow, and Addie Joss
the hero from a Cleveland standpoint
Berger acted as a filler-in between
the two, but al that. came near los
ing the game.
Rhoades pitched the first four in
nings and when he retired in order to
allow Goode to bat for him in the fifth,
st. Louis had clean lead of three
runs, and Cleveland hopes looked
murky. Berger came to duty in the
fifth and got busy with passes, Stone
and Hartzell getting walks while
Jones made an cut. He started to
walk Hoffman also, but Joss came on
duty. He finished up passing Hoff-
man.. but Criss fouled to Bradley and
Williams famed. After that Joss had
things pretty much his own way.
Petty pitched only fair game for
st. Louis. He had the luck breaking
with him, however, and three times
Cleveland saw good chances to score
go to waste as a result.

AMERICAN KEEPS UP.
Almost the Same Spectacular Finish
as National

Chicago, Oct. 5.-The Chicago White
6ox scored enough times to beat the
formidable Detroit Tigers yesterday
and stay In the soul -stirring race for
the American league pennant. The
score was 8 to 1, but that does not
half toll the tale. The Tigers, always
dangerous until the asst man is qout,
started something in the final round
that brought the hearts Of $4,000; as
sembled fans to their threats But
the sox. led by Doc White, ultimately
won. The winning kept the South
Sldsrs in the chase, but 1t does not
mean the pennant by any means.
There are two more games to be TAX
On from Detroit, and even then 1t isn't
assured.
The Maps. apparently licked at st.
Louis, came from behind and got q
draw with the inmates Of the Mound
CITY," Therefore Cleveland is still in
the three -cornered race with an out
side chance Of popping. .
and q half games from the lead, and
half a game behind Cleveland. To
clinch the bunting. the South siders
must win both Of their remaining
games from Letroit, while the Maps
must drop ct least one to st. Louis.
The situation IL every bit as crazy as
1t was this morning, and there is no
telling how It will all end. (.
This afternoon. the sox and Tigers.
will clash ii the second game Of the
all-important series. Defeat means
the certain loss Of the fog. Victory
means good chance for that coveted
piece of rag.

laf1ng On Result,

Pittsburg, Oct. 6.-Pittsburz was
completely baseball mad yesterday
afternoon. Last evening for the first
time In history, on Sunday, two news
papers got out sporting extras at the
close Of the game and they sold like
hot cakes at any price the newsboys
wanted to charge for them, in spite
OF the fact that the Pirates had lost
and their chances Of winning the PEN
nant had gone gltmmering.
Packed In dense. mob in the two
squares on Fifth avenue where the
two newspapers are located, were al
most 10000 people. At each Office
men with megaphones announced the
plays exactly as they were made.
Young men. and staid looking elderly
people. who should have been at Sun
day school, howled like a pack Of In
dams when the announcers, who de-
clared that Leach had made hit or
Clarke had pilfered base. When
the announcers informed the crowd
that Chicago had scored. there would
be gloom which one could cut with q
knife.
When, in the sixth inning, It was
announced that the Pirates had scor-
ed two runs and were tied with the
Chicago team, the widest excitement
broke out. The crowd in front of the
press seemed unable to restarin it.

the crowd remained until the last man

mores In 1897, when "Kid" Nichols
beat Joe Corbett in the final series,
winning the flag for Boston, lacked
much Of the fireworks that the great
battle Of 1908 produced. Then there
were only two teams contending for
the pennant. This year there have
been three right around the pinnacle
every day Of the race, and at one
stage Philadelphia doomed up as d
dark horse that threatened to step in
and beat New York, Chicago and
Pittsburg out Of the honors.
Sensations followed one another
with such startling rapidly all
through the season that baseball fans
have been on the very tiptoe of ex-
pectancy since the race became such
muddled tangle ten weeks ago after
a serious slump by the champion Cubs
which brought them down to the level
Of the Giants and Pittsburg.
The entire country was shocked
when the Cubs were first tumbled out
Of the league leadership on June 30,
after defeat at the hands of Cincin-
natl. The Cubs with two pennants
and one worlds championship to give
them prestige had become to be re-
garded as practically invincible at
least as far as their league rivals
were concerned, and to be overhauled
by Pittsburg with New York only a
short distance behind was sensation
No. In season of tremendous up
heavals.
A Bitter Fight.
Ths fight was long anl bitter end.
while the champions won brilliantly
IN the vast majar:::s Of ,l.eir games,
their opponents, that Is, New York
and Pittsburg, were winning almost
as regularly and slow progress was
made in the effort to distance their
rivals.
Manager Chance did not have his
team intact much Of the Nlme during
August, when the pennant race was
at fever heat. He lost the services
Of Killing, Evers and Overall, and
worse than that had to remain out of
the struggle himself on account of a
multitude of ills.
1t was the Philadelphia club that
practically wrecked the chances of
the Cubs. The Phillies were the
worst thorn in the Size of the cham
pions all season, usually bobbling up
with unexpected victories at a time
when the Cubs needed the moral
benefit Of win.
The Phillies won six of eleven
games played in Chicago and five out
of eleven with the Cubs in Philadel-
phia. That means just an even split
for the season. But breaking even
with that team practically meant de-
feat for the Cubs.
The luck Of the game was not any
more severe on the Cubs than it was
on the New Yorks,, VINO lost three
stars at the finish OF the season,
when Donlin, Doyle and Bresnahan
were kept out.
To start the season, the Pirates
had only one outf1eldeg of ability,
practically no first bss1man, slow
man at second In Abbey, and a pitch
ing staff that was nothing wonderful.
Letfeld is clever southpaw, Willis
is a corking fine pitcher and Maddox,
the new fellow, proved winning
finger. Lever stalled along in his
usual way and Camnitz, succeeded in
the early season, lost his cunning and
seldom was used when the race got
to such hot stage.

Chicago, OCT. 6.-Chicago's Cubs,
worlds champions. closed their dra-
matte struggle to retain their lead
yesterday with victory over Pitts
burg by score Of 8 to 3.
Before the greatest crowd that ever
saw q baseball game, and with the
fate Of the pennant In the balance.
tho two teams engaged In one Of the
most desperate and determined games
In the history of baseball.
The game, olinaxing the most
heart-breaking race Of the last two
months, saw two Of the clubs In the
league locked In q death combat.
Facing hopeless defeat, victory meant
the pennsnt for one and IN al proha-
hility the pennant for the other. All
the strain and EFFORT, Ill the brains
and energy and hard work, the suffer
ing and sacrifices that the two clubs
have endured were wasted for the de-
featsd one and weN endured BY the
winner. And before 30.347 maddened
fans they fought It out to the finish
and Chicago won.
And In the dush of victory achieved
over seemingly impossible odds, the
Cubs and their friends extended the
hand Of sympathy to the Pirates, the
gamest losers IN the country.
Fell Noble Foo.
Owing to the downfall Of New
York, rejoicing over the plight Of the
Giants, the Cubs felt that they had
conquered q noble toe. And the Pr
rates, beaten but smiling, were FIRST
TO congratulate the champions.
Tho finish Of the battle for the
championship of190s was perhaps
the most thrilling event Of all the
long strenuous season. Piled "a the
