Against the Phillies.

PHILADELPHIA, October 8.-New York
easily won yesterdays game by scoring
seven runs in the first inning. 1t was un-
able to score after>>that, while the home
team could only get two runs in the entire
contest
Philadelphia used three pitchers in the
first inning in which New York made only

balls being thrown in. Tenney opened
with a pass. and he scored when Herzos
singled and raced to third on Osborne s
tumble. McCormick's single scored Her.

JOSS No-HIT RECORD GAME.
Not a Man Is Allowed to Reach
First-HoW Cleveland Won.

CLEVELAND. October 3.-Cleveland de-
feated Chicago yesterday in the most re-
markable game of the year in the big
leagues by the score of to o. JOSS. pitch
ing for Cleveland. not only shut Chicago
out without hit. but he did not allow
one of his opponents to reach first base,
although the visitors used three pinch hit
tiers in the ninth inning. Joss was aided
by some remarkable support from Mana
ger LaJoie, who made several extraor-
binary pickups.
On the other hand. Walsh, the Chicago
man, pitched a sensational game, strik-
ing out fifteen men in eight innings. He
struck out GOOde four times and Lajoie
and Clarke twice each, and these three
are Cleveland's best batters Cleveland
was able to bat but four balls past the in
field and only five of the locals reached
first base.
Cleveland scored it's only run in the
third. Birmingham led off with a single
Walsh caught him mapping off first, but
Isbell's throw to second hit the runner
in the head and he went to third. whence
he scored when Walsh and Schreck be-
came crossed in their signals and a ball
went to the grandstand.
With Joss at bat in the eighth Schreck
had finger broken, which will keep him
out of the game for the rest of the sea-
son. Score:

NEW YORK. October 3.-Patriotism
must not forbid the admission that 1t was
a cold day for the Yankees yesterday.
Up at American League Park they closed
the storm shutters on the port side as
you enter. and the few faithful huddled
together for what warmth there might be
that way. and the turnstile at the COM
ing-in gate got rusty for want of turning.
and erybody present looked at every
body else-and that didn't require a
wide-ranged vision-as who would say.
what are you doing here?" and to round
off the disagreeableness the home team.
which is absolutely last in the race, lost
to the Washington team. which is next to
last. and the score was IL to 2.
Hogg set out to pitch for the Yankees
and Kelley for Washington. and this ar
rengement gave rise to a conundrum that
ought to go like wild in the grand min
strel first part. viz. namely
What was the difference between Hogg
and Kelley?
ference between Hogg and Kelley?
Well. suh one was hit and the other
was 1T.
Mr.. Clymer will now give a humorous
recitation entitled How I Piucked a
Triple in the Garden of Hits Where They
Said Only Singles Grew"
Thank you kindly. Master Clymer. and
If you will wait bit Mr.. Mcbride will
essay to left. and you may now come
home. Mr.. Street will hit to center, and
MIR. Mcbride will score. Second part, is
it not? 1t Is.
Three more for Washington in the third,
Ganley three-bagging and scoring on I'm
glaub's hit to left, Clymer hitting along
thrd-base line, Unglaub scoring during a
we'll earned slumber incident to Mr..
Hoggs pitching. and Freeman hitting
through short. scoring Clymer.
At which point Mr.. Hogg retires. and
Mr.. Lake, Respondent in variegated
sweater and willing as a candidate. takes
up the battle, and allows no more than
five scores to Washington in any one
inning, the example being the sixth. 1t
is just here that Shipke walks and steals
second. and Kelley bunts and steals Sec
Ond. after which Milan starts the home
running by a mighty bang to right, on
which he drives in Shipke and Kelley and
covers the diamond himself. Anything
goes from this time on, and so Ganley Is
safe on Conroys error, and Clymer seizes
upon this as an opportune time to make
a home-run hit to right, scoring Ganley
by the way.
And all this time we are unable to find
Mr.. Kelley. except fugitively, as it were.
and our stingy two look mighty weak
compared with the round dozen of the
Nationals. An afternoon we'll calculated
to take most of the brag out of even q
professional New Yorker.

CHICAGO MAKES OFFER OF
$4,000 FOR MATHEWSON
pecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 3.-That
Charles w. Murphy. the owner of
the Chicago National League base
ball team. had offered $4,000 for
"Christy' Mathewson. the crack
pitcher of the Giants, and that
John T. Brush and John McGraw
had spurned the offer became
known this morning.
When through an intermediary
Murphy and Frank Chance, his
manager. set price of $50, 600 on
MathewSon. the New York manage
ment sent back word that even this
unprecedented price was not half
enough to obtain the transfer of
Mathewson. To make sure that
their message was thoroughly I'M
derstood they added that Mathew
son was not for sale at any price.
Murphy's offer of $4,000, which
was made in good faith, and with
no intention that 1t should become
public. was communicated to Brush
and McGraw through business
man in this city who is interested
in thoroughbred and other horses
and has the confidence of both
the New York and the Chicago Ma
tlOIlal League DdSe Dali manage
ments.
In making the offer for Mathew
son Murphy and Chance explained
that the Chicago team, which has
been a unit for SO long, must
eventually disintegrate. and that
the addition of Mathewson to the
Chicago roster would be of the
highest Importance to them. Brush
and McGraw told the go-between
that it would be useless to open
negotiations for the sale of
Mathewson even at price five
times greater than that once paid
for $4,000 Kelly
The tentative offer of $50. 200 was
so badly frOstbitten by the New
York management that the inter-
mediary reported back to Murphy
and Chance that there was not a
chance in the world for Chicago to
get MatheWson.

The Bank Statement.

New York, June 6-The state of clear
ing house banks for the week shows that
the banks hold S47 l92.2OO more than the
required amount This is a decrease of
81 800 in the prOportionate cash reserve
as compared with last week. The state
ment follows:
Loans. sl2l1. sol 900; decrease. s3,5166o0.

surplus, $471s2, go; decrease, sn7sOo.
Elk L. S. deposits, So, 15o,175; decrease,

The percentage of actual reserve of the
clearing house banks at the close of yes
terday's business was 1923. The state
ment of the banks and trust companies
of Greater New York not members OF
the clearing house shows that these in
situations have aggregate deposits OF $94l, :
S45. 800; total cash on hand. S67, s96, 800. and
loans amounting to 1881 2iS,5o0
The Financie- will say: Instead OF a
gain of about 100000 IN cash, which
had been expected as a result of the
weeks options. the statement of the As
sociuted Banks OF New YORK city, is
sued Saturday, showed gain of only
81 7l6 800 based on actual conditions and
average conditions.
AS government deposits from the banks
remained almost stationary at $l9,S4S, 500.
il is difficult to account for the small
gain IN cash holdings. since the gain from
the interior for thu week was heavy.
Partial explanation may be found. how
ever. in the summary of state banks and
trust companies in Greater New York not
reporting to tie New York Clearing house,
these institutions having shown gain
of S3500.O00 in cash for the week. The
associated banks. taking the statement
of actual conditions as a basis, decreased
their loans s.. 60 700 for the week. while
deposits fell s5.1S3, 500. The gain in cash
reported. together with the decrease in
reserve requirements owing to the de-
creased deposits. accounted for the In
crease in reserves of $3,Ol2. 775 The actual
surplus reserve now stands at s49,2I5, 725,
or % % per cent of all deposits, including
those of the government. The state banks
and trust companies. particularly the lat
ter. show important gains which over
shadow those of the clearing house banks
The loans of these outside institutions
rose during the week $l4 ass, 500, while
their net deposits increased S19, SS1, 800, this
Increase being due probably to operations
connected with important bond syndicate
deals
