WAGNER HEARTBROkEN
Over the Failure of His Team to Land
the Pennant

Pittsburg, oct 6.-Hans Wagner, per
Eaps the creates ball player that ever
stood on spikes, is absolutely heart
broken over the failure of his team to
win the pennant by taking the last
game from Chicago Monday afternoon.
On reaching his home at Carnegie yes
terday morning the big fellow, who
now leads the league in batting for his
SIX times, was met by some friends,
who sought to console him.
well, you got something out of it,
anyway, this year | see you lead the
league again. said a friend
"Bosh. with those hits and all that
stuff" snapped Wagner, what does it
all amount to when we didn't win that
game yesterday? l would have gladly
given every worlds record l have had
or even hope to have if We could only
have pulled that game out of the fire
yesterday. 1t would have been the
greatest race in the worlds history for
US, for let me tell you there We're a
whole lot Of people scattered around
the circuit who thought, even up to
the last week, that we were jokes and
they We're waiting to hear US blow up.
I'm awful sorry for Clarke If ever
there was a man who deserved to win
it was Fred" continued Wagner That
fellow had things awful hard at times,
but he never lost heart and he kept
US all going all the time. The ground
rule hurt at Chicago-hurt US more
than it did Chicago. There were four
balls dropped in the crowd right back
of Fred Clarke. each going for two
bases. when he would have eaten them
up It's awful. I'm going to kill TO-
900 birds this winter TO forget it,

The thought that such life history

back almost to the beginning Of our

a mere youth among the nations of
the earth is this wonderful nation of
ours. If some baby girl born in 1908

The Gillette Execution .

The closing incidents OF the crime
and execution of Chester Gillette. done
to death at Auburn Monday morning
qs punishment for the murder of a girl
he had betrayed, show that governors
cannot be too cautious in considering
eleventh hour pleas for mercy. In this
case reasonably strong reasons, on
their face, were advanced to Governo
hughes for postponement OF the exc
cution. The finding of new evidence
was claimed. and thepe was also the
always pathetic presence of the aged.
parents. Included in the matter pre-
scented the governor was an AFFIDAVIT
by two men setting forth that they had
personal knowledge of the murdered
girls loose character and that Gillette
was not the author of her shame.
There are many sympathetic persons
who do not see how a governor could
refuse loving mothers request for
the life OF her son. especially when the
son was convicted on circumstantial
evidence, and no doubt, many gov
ernors would have yielded to such en-
treaties. But though Governor Hughes
is kindly man, he is also just man,
and while he gave full consideration to
the petitions he also reviewed careful
" the evidence in the case. The re-
suit was his refusal to interfere. AS
for the affidavits blackening the dead
girls character, he denounced them as
atrociously false on their face.
Now, we know that Governor
Hughes. by his action, has shown him
self to be man of keen discernment
and sound judgment. Before he went
to the electric chair, Gillette confess
ed that all was true, that he had be-
trayed and killed Grace Brown, and
that the eleventh hour afidavits were
false. Sympathy there should be for
