The setting Of the sun behind the

significance than the mere closing of a

cording to the Jewish calendar
From the earliest times the Rosh

observed by the Hebrew tribes in the
autumn, and as far back as can be
traced in the history of the nations, IT
has been marked by feasts and celebra-
tions of an elaborate character With
the advent Of Christianity the time of
the advent of a new wear was changed
to agree with the Roman system by
nearly all the nations of the world, but
the Hebrews still held TO their own OBJ
servance at the accustomed season of
the year. and the precedent established
so many generations ago has continued
TO the present time. According 20
Jewish calculations this is the begin
ming of the 5e69th year of the earth's
existence. I'M lcommemoration of the
event the regular prescribed Jewish
service of the day was read in the

"GIANTS" WILL
APPEAL DECISION
New York Protests Against
| Decision Given by
PuIIidm

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-President
Harry c. Pulliam, of the National
League, issued statement clarifying
the more or less muddled condition re-
garding the celebrated game OF Wed
nesday between the New York and
Chicago baseball clubs. The statement
does not show that Chicago has made
any claim, so far as President Pulliam
is concerned, of a forfeited game on
Thursday, but that the only upshot so
far of the announcement that We'd
nesday's score was a tie is a formal
notice by the New York club that 1t
will appeal from that decision. Presi-
dent Pulliam's announcement follows
in full:
In view the great interest and con-
o'7-i inquiry by telegraph and letter
to this office regarding the exact status
of the New York Chicago game Of Sep
tember %, I desire to make this state
lment:
"The umpires in charge Of this con-
test filed their written reports at Ma
tional League headquarters on Sep
ltember "a, stating that the New York
Chicago game of September % result
ed in a tie score. This report of the
lumpires was accepted in the usual man.
ner without prejudice to the rights of
either club.
Under the constitution Of the Ma
Itional League. either club has a right
to appeal from the decision of the UNI
pires within five days Of the date of
the game. The New York Club on this
day has notified this office that it will
appeal from the decision of the UNI
lpires.
IN compliance with the provision of
section % of the National League con-
stitution the protest of the New York
Club when received will be submitted
to the Chicago Club, and that club has
five days in which to file an answer If
] it so desires. The same procedure will
nrevail in the event that the Chicago
Club protests the decision Of the umpire.
when the case is made up a de-
cision on the facts and evidence will
be rendered by the president of the
league. which decision is subject to ap-
peal within FIVE days to the board Of
directors whose decision is final.
(Signed) Harry c. Pulliam."

SPIT BALL LIKELY
TO BE DOOMED
Cleveland Players Expect Rule
to be Passed Barring Use
of "Wet Goods

CLEVELAND, Sept. 2s.-cleveiand
players have expressed the opinion that
the spit" ball is doomed.
1t will be in vogue next year, how
ever, for the magnates realize that to do
away with 1t forthwith would work a
hardship on certain teams whose pitch
ing mainstays are spit" ball artists.
Take the White Sox, for instance.
DOC" White is practically the only
pitcher that Comislxy has that does not
use the splitter"
Were the splitter" to be legislated out
at once, Comiskey would be left without
pitching staff next spring.
So the erasing of the splitter will
not come until the season Of 1910. By
that time all the clubs will be supposed
to have either replaced their spit" ball
pitchers with the old style OF pitchers
or to have the spit" ball pitchers learn
to depend upon curves and change Of
pace to win.
But there is no doubt Of the splitter
being a dead one. Already the mag
mates that have the star spit" ball
pitchers have ordered the men in ques-
tion to begin to acquire something else
in the way Of delivery. Connie Mack,
for instance, has left Jimmy Dygert at
home with instructions to work out
something besides the damp fling.
"Heine" Berger, Of the Maps. uses
the splitter" occasionally, but he is
another that has been told to gradually
cut it out altogether. Berger has a
fast ball that is a corler, and he is
one pitcher that need never throw the
splitter" in order to be effective. In
fact, Manager Lajoie is of the opinion
that Berger would be better than ever
without it,
