DREYFUSS TO SIT ON
DISPUTED CUB GAME

PITTSBURG. Pa, September 29.-That
Barney Dreyfuss intends, if possible, to
force himself into the settlement of that
disputed game between New York and
Chicago was made plain here last night.
when he made the admission that he eX-
pected to see the matter brought before
the board of directors of the National
League for final settlement, and, II so, he
would insist on dis right to sit in judg
ment, though admitting that he knew New
York did not want him.

League race, it is not likely that you will

UMPIRE ASSAULTED
ON CHICAGO GROUNDS

CHICAGO. September 2?.-For the first
time in the history of Comiskey's park
an umpire was slugged yesterday. KERN,
who was umpiring the Sox-Boston game.
was struck by an unknown spectator as
he left the field at the close OF the pa'tie
and knocked down.
The blow brought blood from the UNI
pire's nose and when he could regain his
feet to face his assailant the miscreant
had vanished in the crowd. Comlskey,
enraged beyond measure at the coWaroiy
attack talks of offering a reward for the
capture of the fellow, and says he Will
prosecute the case to the limit.
Chicago and Boston played a ten-lnning
draw, darkness ending the battle. 1t was
hard-fought game. and both teams were
repeatedly stopped by great fielding plays
when runs seemed certain. Smith started
for the Sox. but quit when he began to
lose control of the ball Score:

HARD RACE FOR THE

The 150-mile young bird race of the
Washington Federation Of Homing Pig

pected the race to be hard one, and 80
per cent of the members used discretion
and refused to compete in an inevitable

that the smoke from the forest fires
would prove disastrous. but, to add hard

CUBS MADE A BLUNDER.
Why Pulliam Did Not Order Tie
With Giants PLAYED Off.

NEW YORK, September 29.-Harry &.
Pulliam, president of the National League,
has issued a statement to explain why he
assigned umpires for only one game at the
Polo Grounds last Thursday following
the protested game between New York
and Chicago the day before, which was
declared a tie when Merkle failed to touch
second base on hit that won the game
for the Giants. 1t shows that President
Murphy of the Chicago team Overreached
himself. and all too late tried to rectify
his mistake Mr.. Pulliam says:
l was present at the game, which. it is
we'll known. ended in scene of great
confusion. With desire to protect the
interests of both clubs and to carry out
the provisions of our laws. / sent for the
umpires in charge of the game that night
who informed me that the game resulted
in a tie. While in conference with the
umpires I received a formal protest from
the Chicago club claiming the game by a
score of 9 to O, alleging violation OF
rule 20. section A. of the playing rules.
The moment this claim of Chicago was
received was estopped from taking any
steps TO have the tie game played OF the
next day by the provisions OF section Y
of the constitution, which provides that
the claim. together with the accompany
ing proofs must be furnished to the other
club. which has five days in which to
reply.
A second communication from the Chi
cago club was received at or about IL
O'Clock the next morning. stating it did
not desire to- protest the decision Of the
umpires 1t was then too late. In my
Judgment to give the proper notice to
both clubs that the game must be played
over on that day. and therefore l did not
assign umpires for two games.
The action Of the Chicago club in fling

the night Of September % prevented the

providing for the playing off, of postponed
or tie games: and now that the action OF
the umpires In declaring tie game mas

entire matter must be decided in accord
ance with the provisions of the constitu-
ton.

DEATH FROM PLAGUE IN INDIA.
Until. Recently no Action Taken by
the English Government.

In 1908 the number OF deaths from
plague In India was $4,000; in
1904 in was over 100000, being
1,040, 900. or the 100000 deaths
more than $4,000 occurred In one
province. and that province was the
Punjab, the one from which some OF
our best Indian soldiers are recruit
ed. Consider the possible signi1-
canoe OF fact like this upon the on
cheney of our Indian army The
PunjaB is not large province, its
actual population being about 90.
600, 900, or only two-thirds that OF
England, and yet the deaths in the
Punjab during 1904 from plague
amounted to over $50, 900 In the
course of twelve weeks only.
We believe that these figures,
which have been published before,
have never been contradlcted, though
they seem incredible. What would
be thought, said or done in England
II In the course of twelve weeks over
100000 persons were swept off by
the disease? Surely there would be
something like a panic. And II this
destruction threatened to be an an
nual one would not any inactivity on
the part of the authorities in whom
prevention is vested be deeply re-
sented? l,si.
The small number of deaths from
plague in Hong Kong and the Mauri-
thus is regularly published every
week in the daily papers, and pre-
sumably the information comes from
Official sources. but the mortality
which occurs in India from the same
disease, and which by it's magnitude
Is danger not only to India, but to
the world, Is never published lit Is

Three and half millions of peo-
